Anomaly Presents:

We're back! The podcastronauts are here to do a deep dive into our first (but not last) John Waters film! Serial Mom, the perfect mix of kitsch, true crime fiends, and America's obsession with celebrity. It's a film that was definitely before its time, and we celebrate the way John Waters tried to break brains at the cineplex in 1994.

Anomaly - The Rochester Genre Film Festival's November 2021 screening of "We're All Going to the World's Fair" featured a live virtual Q&A with Writer/Director Jane Schoenbrun. Hosted by Dave Tyler (Social Media Director at the Rochester Institute of Technology), the conversation touched on filmmaking on a shoe-string budget, the simultaneous allure and terror of anonymity of the internet, and...

The podcastronauts get together in person to discuss 2002's Queen of the Damned! The energy in the room is off the (wallet) chain in this one as we discuss Lestat's violin aptitude, Anne Rice's extreme dislike for any media she didn't create, dancing at goth clubs, Nu Metal, the herculean effort of cramming two books worth of plot into a 2 hour movie, and what kind of vampires we want to be. Also,...

It's time to talk Leprechaun! And we're doing it in the best way, in Space! Come for the puns, stay for the Aliens homage and drag number! Also, a discussion of genre, high art and the Insane Clown Posse. And a salute to the legendary genre director, Brian Trenchard-Smith. This episode contains multitudes.

It's arguably the most focused film discussion we've had yet! Following the double feature at the Little, KP, Meghan and Matt, take a deep dive into Candyman, both the original and last year's "Requel". We talk bees, hypnosis, and the power of legend and myth.

We're back with our first post-festival episode, and it's a doozy. For the first time ever, we recorded in front of a live audience! We talk Ghostbusters in our inimitable style, with plenty of digressions, some swooning over Sigourney Weaver, and talk about things that go bump in the night. Thank you to the Irondequoit Public Library for the invitation! They now have podcasting equipment availabl...

We're about a month out from the festival, which means it's the most wonderful time of the year...Thirsty Month! Most movie podcasts would choose horror movies for October, but we're not most movie podcasts! We get parched over Cool Rider Maxwell Caulfield, Michelle Pfeiffer’s Stephanie, and there's a little bit of cottonmouth for Tab Hunter in this, the thirstiest episode of Anomaly Presents to d...

It's time. JCVD. John Woo. Podcastronauts. It's Hard Target. The Most Dangerous Game done New Orleans style by way of Belgium and Hong Kong. It's packed full of great fights, and enough weirdness to keep KP, Meghan and Matt laughing. It's the perfect Van Damme movie.

Recorded live at the Little Theatre in Rochester, NY, our own Vanessa Cheeks had an opportunity to sit down with writer/director Timothy Covell and producer Christina Behnke and discuss their new film, Blood Conscious. Highly recommend seeing Blood Conscious (now available on VOD everywhere) before listening for a full experience. Also, the sound quality is not perfect, but we think the conversati...

It's a divisive episode of Anomaly Presents as we discuss M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening. Does it deserve its notorious reputation, or is it a forgotten classic about depression and loss? Join us as Eric sheds a new light on The Happening that'll make you revisit the film and your feelings for it. Check out Anomaly on Social Media! www.anomalyfilmfest.com Twitter: @anomalyfilmfest Instagram: @...

It’s another classic video game movie episode of Anomaly Presents! We have a blast talking about one of the best we’ve seen. Also, plenty of nostalgia, possibly bad game strategies, and tons of marveling over the budget. It’s the most fun you can have without going to an arcade!

One of Anomaly's favorite filmmakers, Izzy Lee joins us to talk about the super-stylish, super-goth, and super-horny Bram Stoker's Dracula! Francis Ford Coppola went for it with this one, and if you're a genre movie fan, you need to watch it. If you've seen it, go watch it again. Then come back and listen to one of the giddiest shows we've done. Keanu Reeves coloring books! https://www.amazon.com/...

We had the immense pleasure of sitting down with writer/director Jill Gevargizian to talk about her debut feature film, The Stylist, hitting VOD and Blu-Ray now! We talk everything from how to crowdfund a feature, the process of adapting a short to a feature length film, the fun of special effects, and how important it is to get your casting right. This is a must listen for any aspiring filmmakers...

What do you get when you cross slapstick comedy with Tom Savini's trademark splatter, then add Dennis Hopper to the mix? You get a sequel that's a complete and total 180 from the original! The gritty, creepy vibe from Texas Chainsaw Massacre is dismantled and replaced with a dayglo 80's slasher cartoon. Listen to KP, Megan and Matt break down one of the wildest sequels of all time, with some bonus...

The Anomaly podcastronauts harness every bit of their chaos Muppet energy to discuss one of their favorite movies of all time. We debate what makes a muppet, Miss Piggy's alignment, the greatest visual joke ever committed to film, and about a thousand other topics in this one. Grab your favorite caffeinated beverage and try to keep up. (The audio is a little janky, we were trying a new recording s...

It's one of our favorite movies, and we're joined by one of our favorite people Richard Colon to talk about the visual all you can eat buffet that is Scott Pilgrim vs the World. There's not enough money in the world to put this cast together again, it's everyone at the top of their games, and not nearly enough people have seen it. If you're an Anomaly fan and haven't seen Scott Pilgrim, check it o...

OK, this is pretty much right over the plate for us, right? We talk egg sammiches, Tia Carrere, roller skates, and everything else that makes this an Anomaly favorite.

Matt, Erin, KP, Adam, Vanessa and Meghan take a bite out of Menahim Golan's completely wild psychedelic movie musical. It's completely weird, nonsensical, and all over the place. It's also a hell of a rollercoaster... The movie's interesting too. Join us, won't you? Mentioned in this episode: Joe Bean Coffee - Coffee that lifts everyone.

It's our Christmas extravaganza! We talk The Nightmare Before Christmas, kind of. It's really just the Podcastronauts getting together and hanging out, talking about a movie they enjoy, along with about a million other things. It's basically the Anomaly Holiday Party, and since we can't do one in person this year, we'd like to invite you to come and hang out at this virtual one. Also, as a gift fr...

It's Anomaly weekend, and to celebrate (and to work out some twitter beef) we decided to eat and rank a bunch of Little Debbie snack cakes with our friends Harmony Colangelo (writer and host of the This Ends At Prom podcast) and Andrew Scott Bell (composer for Deathcember and the upcoming Horror is Queer documentary on Shudder). Zebra Cakes, Swiss Creme Rolls, and many more...who will win and what...
