Cinema Psychos Movie Reviews

This week, we are taking a bizarre pipe down to the neon colored, member-berry filled world of The Super Mario Bros Movie!  No, not that dystopian nightmare about trusting the fungus while Dennis Hopper searches for a meteroite.  (Check out Episode 9 for that one).  We are talking about the NEW NEW animated one that actually does a pretty decent job at portraying a video game about two brothers ba...

Happy Easter...Passover...or just day that happens to end in "Y".  This week, we are celebrating one of the hallmark films of the 1970's that can be credited with birthing a great deal of the comedy that we all take for granted.  1979's Life of Brian is a brilliant satire that pokes fun at everything from the concept of religion to the tenets of politics.  For it's time, the film was attacked by r...

Long time friend of the show, Kire Paputts, the award winning filmmaker behind The Last Porno Show and The Raindow Kid ,  returns to talk about his new film, Always Had A Nice Time , a character-driven documentary about the unique and interesting residents of Toronto's Parkdale community. Kire shares with us his journey to producing the film and the challenges he has faced as independent filmmaker...

This week, we are a little bit late to the party on this film, but we had to do an episode on Leprechaun 3 last week in honor of St. Patrick's Day.  That aside, we are talking about the newest entry into the long running Rocky Cinematic Universe, CREED III.  The third outing of Michael B. Jordan's Adonis Creed as he fights for his legacy against the physical embodiment of his past in Johnathan Maj...

It's St Patty's week and as is tradition, we here at The Cinema Psychos Show celebrate the holiday not by drinking green beer and eating shepard's pie....but by visiting our old friend THE LEPRECHAUN!  And this time around we are taking a look at what might be the best of the sequels in this series, 1995's Leprechaun 3!  A movie that clearly knows how ridiculous the concept of the first 2 were and...

This week, we are joined by Mark Cantu (Massacre Academy), the Director of the upcoming indie horror flick, WOLF HOLLOW to review one of the weirdest and most hilarious awesomely bad films that we've ever had the pleasure to view.  We are talking about the 2014 cult classic, WOLFCOP!  A movie that maybe like us you skipped past on streaming.  But let me tell you, this movie is amazing.  It has one...

Is the MCU dead? In this episode, Brian and John discuss the mixed reception of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and explore whether this signals the decline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. we unpack it all!  The good (yes there is some), the bad, and the ugly.  Spoilers abound, but we try to answer some of the biggest questions associated with this movie.  Such as whether or not audience expec...

Oh boy oh boy do we have an episode for you all.  This week we are joined by two amazing guests.  Filmmakers, Producers, Podcasters, and all around hilarious guys cut from the very same cloth as your's truly...Alex Keledjian and Ryan Gibson of the fellow film podcast, How I Got Greenlit.   Alex Keledjian is the creator of Project Greenlight , a documentary television series where executive produce...

It's Valentine's Day!  And to show all of you are love and appreciation, we've go a very special episode this week.  We're travelling to 1981 to the mining town of Valentine Bluffs in the cult slasher "My Bloody Valentine".  This movie is more than just a canadian rip off of Friday the 13th, its got everything a good slasher film needs.  Young actors who are more like 40 rather than 20...Check!  G...

Step into the heart of Wakanda with us as we take on the task of reviewing the latest Marvel epic, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. We'll be breaking down all the moments that had us laughing out loud, from Shuri's tech wizardry to M'Baku's hilarious one-liners, but don't worry, we won't skimp on the serious stuff either. We'll be discussing the film's representation, powerful performances, and how...

This week, we are joined by "Cannibal" Cam Schwarz of Rabid Dog Films and we're taking a look at the cult classic, "Zombi Holocaust" AKA "Doctor Butcher MD (Medical Deviant). Released in 1980, this low-budget Italian film follows a group of scientists and medical professionals as they investigate a series of mysterious disappearances on a remote island in the Pacific. But as they soon discover, th...

As we wrap up our look back at 2022, we wanted to take a special look at what argueably might be one of the best years for the humble horror movie.  With movies like X, Pearl, The Menu, Black Phone, Barbarian, Sissy, and others all released within the past year to critical and commerical acclaim, 2022 might just be the year of the horror film.  We've got our picks for best and of course worst horr...

In what has become a yearly tradition here at The Cinema Psychos Show, our first major episode of the year is our breakdown of the year that was 2022.  In the film industry, this year had something for just about everybody.  Do you want some corporate drama about a media empire's take over of a streaming service and subsequently culling loads of content (some of which leans more in the diversity s...

On this special bonus episode and first entry into what we're calling "What's Brian Watching?" We are looking at M3GAN, the newest entry from Blumhouse (ew) that at first glance, seems like a Child's Play rip off but has a few surprises up it's sleeves.   M3GAN is a movie that makes you wonder what would happen if your kid's iPad grew consciousness and decided that it could parent your kid better...

Happy New Year Folks.  So due to some technical difficulties on our part, we were unable to provide you all with are long overdue review of the cult classic, Santa Claus Conquers The Martians.  I know, its a real bummer.  However, I wanted to take a moment to share with you all our amazing interviews that we conducted while we were at the Eerie Horror Fest this past October.  This was the first ti...

Ah the holidays, the time of the year when we all get to contribute to our capitalist hellscape of a society by buying our love with gifts…but have you ever wondered what would happen if your gifts came alive?   If you thought that was a better plot for 1989's Puppet Master you would be correct!   Puppet Master introduces the world to Andre Toulon and his murderous puppets with fantastic Mortal Ko...

This week, we are celebrating our 250th episode with a look at what is arguably considered one of the scariest horror films of all time; The Exorcist.   The 1973 movie by William Friedkin that was so terrifying that it led to people fainting in theaters and enraging   the religious right in the early 70's.   But does this movie truly deserve the title of scariest film?   And is it really Anti-Cath...

This week, John and Brian travel to Transylvania to visit the crypt of Count Dracula….well not quite, we actually visit 1995 and Dracula's crypt is full of Leslie Nielsen Naked Gun Jokes, Peter McNichol eating flies, and of course…an enema.   We are talking about the horror parody from comedic master Mel Brooks, "Dracula Dead and Loving It."   A movie that feels like a weird sibling to 1974's Youn...

This week, Brian and John open the box and venture to the world of The Hellraiser Franchise.  Now while we will eventually get to Hulu's Hellraiser Remake, we felt it was necessary to look at the absolute worst moment in the franchise.  We are of course talking about 2011's Hellraiser Revelations.  This movie is on a whole other level of bad; and we aren't just saying that cause it features "Fat/W...

This week as we drift out of our Halloween Hangover, John has forced Brian to finally confront his distaste for The Scream Franchise.  Long time listeners of the podcast will know that despite Brian being an aficianado of cinematic terror, Wes Craven's 1996 meta-filled opus stands as a very consequential film in Brian's view of how the horror movie was changed irrevocably as a result of it's succe...

Happy Halloween Psychos Nation! As this is dropping on All Hallows Eve, I wanted to give you all a very special treat.   John and I were lucky enough to attend The Eerie Horror Fest earlier in the month and we had the pleasure of talking with a number of celebrity guests.   This first one was one of the ones I was most interested in meeting.   John Adams and Tobey Poser are the husband and wife te...

It feels like forever since we released an episode PsychosNation!  But after a brief hiatus that saw us travel to be part of The Eerie Horror Fest, we are back with some amazing new episodes recorded inside the festival itself.  This week, we are venturing to the bowels of streaming hell as we take a look at the newest cinematic offering from Rob Zombie with "The Munsters".  A movie that as of lat...

It's not everyday that we get an indie film to review.  And this one comes straight from Germany!  Filmmaker Zetkin Yikilmis unleashes her newest film, "PINK RABBIT".  The film details the bizarre journey, concocted by an equally bizarre man dressed like a  Pink Rabbit, that a young mother named Martha has to endure on the way home to her young son and husband.  The movie pays homage to a number o...

This week, we are taking a trip to Hollywood and symbolism in Director & modern horror maestro, Jordan Peele in his newest film, NOPE.  Nope is an interesting movie as on the surface it feels very much like a throw back to the old school monster movies of the 70's and 80's.  But in classic Jordan Peele style, there is  way more meaning behind the film..and moments of levity between the terror.  Ho...
