ACM's Vault of Cult - Movie Podcast.

A special episode recorded over zoom during lockdown as a warm up to the forthcoming season season. Although not made in the 80s or 90s, this 2015 soon to be cult classic has a real retro vibe and is set in a futuristic 1997. Possibly my favourite movie made in the last 10 years, I asked film academic Adam to watch the movie, which he gladly did. We chatted after about our thoughts on this slice o...

Lockdown meant I could not finish season one this year as planned but I thought I'd try to record an episode online, it evolved into and special show focusing on two movies. So here it is, warts and all. Thanks to everybody who's listened to and taken part in this first season. It'll be back next year. 

One of my favourite monster movies growing up. A movie I could enjoy with both my family and friends. Although it has spawned many sequels it was not a hit at the box-office and at the time Kevin Bacon didn't even want to be in it. I loved watching this again and showed it to a friend who was new to it, did he get the same enjoyment or has nostalgia clouded my eyes?

In 1974 Tobe Hooper made the horror masterpiece The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, considered by many to be one of the greatest scary movies ever made and influencing the genre greatly after it's release. More than a decade later he made it's long awaited sequel. a movie that now has cult status but bombed at the box-office and got ripped to shreds by critics. I have a soft spot for this movie, if watch...

A movie considered by many to be one of the worst ever made but as a child I watched this over and over.  It was the very first Marvel movie, famous more for being the first flop made by George Lucas. It is certainly flawed but I still think a fun and likable movie. I showed it to three friends who hadn't seen it before. Let's see what they thought of it...

A movie I rented over and over from the video store as a kid. I loved it, as did a few friends of mine but the film seemed unheard of to anybody else. It was our little secret. Years later I discover we actually weren't alone and the movie has become a cult classic. It may have had less then great reviews, considered a rip-off of other movies and only made a third of it's budget back at the box-of...

A movie I enjoyed in the cinema as a child, based on one of my favourite video game.  It was meant to be one of the biggest films of the year but bombed at the box-office and has been disowned by many associated with it. The star Bob Hoskins even said it was the biggest mistake of his career. Near 30 years later I look back on the movie with Andrew Stretton, who had not seen it until the nigh...

In 1985 Michael J Fox starred in one of the biggest movies of all time and was set to become a huge star. Back to the Future took the world by storm and is now considered a classic. The lesser acclaimed movie Teen Wolf was also released that year. In which Fox played a character not unlike Marty McFly, he didn't travel through time however, but did turn into a werewolf, win an important basketball...

The first episode, what should have been one of the biggest movies of the 1980s...... it wasn't but it was a hell of a lot of fun. In 1987 Cannon released a movie based on one TV's most popular cartoon series and a toy range that took the world by storm. It was meant to be 'The next Star Wars'...... the movie bombed and added to the movie company going out of business. This was the first movie I s...
