Cinema Psychos Movie Reviews

This week, we are hanging out at the mall as we take a look at the darker side of fashion...and comedy in the 2020 Canadian dark comedy horror film, SLAXX.  Slaxx is a movie that we all discovered while surfing Shudder and boy oh boy is it a bloody good time but also forces Laine and Brian to relive their deepest darkest memories of working in Retail Hell.  FROM THE CONCESSION STAND-  YOUTUBE SHOW...

This week we are back after a brief break with an absolute first.  a new movie that will be inducted into the revered Pantheron of Utter S*#t!  The 90 minute long Warner Brothers Infomercial; Space Jam: A New Legacy.  A sequel to a movie that isn't as good as you remembered when you were 11 years old nor was it a sequel that we absolutely asked for.  Space Jam: A New Legacy features truly the apex...

This week, Brian and John tackle Marvel Studios' first foreay into the quagmire that is the post-pandemic movie landscape with Black Widow.  A movie that was late due to a pandemic but also about 5 years too late due to the bone-headed belief that female-led superhero films would not sell in a sea of space gods, hulks, iron men, and super soldiers.  The result is a movie that tries to make up for...

Disclaimer: We recorded this little commentary on Loki well before the finale. So there is a good chance that our predictions are incorrect....or are they? Welcome to the first episode of "FROM THE CONCESSION STAND!" A piece of bonus content from The Cinema Psychos Show that takes a look at all things streaming! This week, Brian and Laine are burdened with glorious purpose as we break down the cur...

This week, we are celebrating the 4th of July the only way we know how. By breaking down one of the biggest parodies of American imperialism, 2004's Team America: World Police. A movie from the minds of Trey Parker and Matt Stone, probably the only people in the world who could make a movie that offends literally everyone yet still holds up as a fantastic parody of not only post 9/11 hysteria but...

This week, we are reliving our worst nightmares......high school. We are sticking around 1987 as we take a look at one of the rare teenage comedies from the era to actually not be completely gross out and full of adult jokes. We are of course talking about the 1987 blast from the past, Summer School. A movie that gave us Mark Harmon prior to joining the force of NCIS, Kirsty Alley before Cheers an...

This week, Brian and John celebrate Father's Day in the only way possible; by reviewing a movie about a homicidal maniac who preys on single parent families in his search for the perfect family. We are of course talking about 1987's The Stepfather. An odd ball and much under appreciated slasher film that feels more like a slasher from the early 80's rather than the late 80's when stripped-sweatere...

This week, Brian and John wear out our welcome in Las Vegas as we step out of the world of Nomi Malone and The Stardust and into the world of Alpha Zombies, Beta Zombies, and Bespectacled Batistas'. Yes, we are talking about the much talked about post Justice League Netflix-nugget from Zack Snyder: Army of The Dead. A movie that has divided people nearly as much as any Zack Snyder movie would. The...

This week, Brian and John are packing our bags and hitchhiking to the city of dreams and riches....LAS VEGAS! As we review one of the most expensive exploitation/cinemax softcore pornos ever made, Showgirls from 1995. Showgirls has a bit of everything for every kind of audience. Do you want blatant nudity and violent pool belly button sex? Showgirls has got it. Do you crave a movie about a down on...

This week John and Brian invite you for dinner (wink wink cannibalism) as we gather for a feast of one of the most divisive entries in the Hannibal Lecter Cinematic Universe (Sorry Hannibal the tv show, only movies on this podcast), Hannibal from 2001. A direct sequel to the oscar winning 1991 Jonathan Demme film, Silence of the Lambs; Hannibal continues the story of everyone's favorite flesh eate...

This week, we are saluting our mom's in honor of Mother's Day! We are joined this week by none other than the mother of our own little hell spawn, Jan Wooliscroft, mother of John Wooliscroft. Our guest's pick this week is the ultimate Mother's Day horror (aside from Mommie Dearest) the 1968 Roman Polanski (eww) classic, "Rosemary's Baby." A classic that showcases not only the horror of siring the...

This week, Brian, and John test their might and reminisce about Friday nights in the 90's with square pizza, surge, cool ranch Doritos and of course MORTAL KOMBAT ! We are diving headfirst out of Earthrealm and straight into the Netherrealm of HBO Max to review the newest reboot from Hollywood's Nostalgia Machine; MORTAL KOMBAT. A movie that literally just has to show up to be leaps and bounds bet...

This week, John sits down with Jason Douglas, a talented and multi-faceted actor both on screen and in your ears. He is an actor who has been on hit tv shows such as Tobin on "The Walking Dead" and Satan on "Preacher"; and in film playing roles like Mayor Kane in "Texas Cotton" and Al in "Cyst". Aside from his work on screen, Jason Douglas has an impressive list of roles as a voice actor for some...

This week we have some earth shattering news about the future of the podcast to couple with our earth shattering review of Zack Snyder's Justice League . We felt this movie was so important to review that we bumped our review of Hannibal to next week. You hear that DC?! We pushed a conversation about Anthony Hopkins eating brains for you. So join us as we unpack this 4 hour long epic (and believe...

Happy St. Patrick's Day to our Irish friends and fans and of course to those special fans who happen to "pretend" to be Irish every St. Paddy's Day. In honor of the holiday, we are cracking open the second entry into what arguably might be the last gasp of the slasher era. We're talking about 1994's Leprechaun 2. A movie that literally has nothing in common with the original, other than Warwick Da...

This week, coming off of the heels of our review of Bloodsucka Jones vs. The Creeping Death, we have an exclusive folks. Exclusive in the fact that your favorite Cinema Psychos are the first in North America to review the the behind the scenes featurette on the making of the unofficial sequel to Troll 2, "Under ConTroll" (Aka Goblin 2/Trolls World). We reviewed Under ConTroll way back in Episode 1...

This week, after our review last week of the turducken of terrible that was Neil Breen's "Pass Thru" , we here at The Cinema Psychos Show needed a bit of a pallet cleanser. And wouldn't you know it, we got one in the form of the Justin Armaos' new release, "Bloodsucka Jones vs. The Creeping Death." A movie that serves as not only a comedic play off of blaxsploitation cinema but also zombie movies...

This week, we are opening the 6th seal of terrible cinema and unleashing the 4th horseman of the Breenpocalypse with Neil Breen's "Pass Thru". A movie that some say isn't really a movie but more or less a collection of clips and drone footage from the raving of a sundrenched madman bent on solving the worlds problems by "cleansing" the world of bad people. So yea....It's a fun movie for the whole...

This week, we are tackling a topic that is tearing Hollywood apart. The guttaral street fight that has broken out between HBO Max and streaming services vs Movie Theaters. The battle is of course over HBO Max's decision to release their 2021 blockbuster films on streaming as well as through traditional theaters. We get in a heated debate that tackles everything from whether studios will continue s...

This week, we are saying one final good bye to the unending maelstrom of misery and depression that was 2020 with PART 2 of our Year End Retrospective. There weren't a great deal of movies that came out during 2020 as we all were trying to divert our attention away from the doom scrolling with Tiger King or trying to master chess after watching Queen's Gambit. But the few offerings we did get dese...

Happy New Year everyone! I promise that 2021 will be much better than 2020 ever wa.....(looks at the news).....well, so much for new years resolutions. How about we take a nice escapism trip to "better times" and look back at how Hollywood was affected by a truly unusual year. Like a massive poop, this episode will be a 2 parter. So be sure to check back next week as we dive into the top best and...

This week, we are breaking through the episode 200 barrier in Yule tide style. We are reviewing what arguably might be the very first slasher film....no we aren't talking about John Carpenter's 1978 classic, Halloween. We're talking about the 1974 Canadian Xmas murder-fest Black Christmas. A movie that gives us party girl Margot Kidder before she became Lois Lane and one of the first roles to feat...

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here. Even though 2020 has done a number on all of us, we here at The Cinema Psychos Show refuse to let it take away our celebration of odd ball holiday classics. And no movie is more odd ball enough than the 1988 Bill Murray classic, SCROOGED. A film that marked the return of Murray into a leading comedic role (we'll ignore that Little Shop of Ho...

This week is Thanksgiving here in the US which means that it is time for us to pull out one of our Thanksgiving horror classics to review......hmmm aside from Thankskilling which we already did, there doesn't seem to be any left. Might as well turn to what everyone considers a classic Thanksgiving movie, The 1987 John Candy and Steve Martin road movie, "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles". A movie th...

This week, we are taking a look back at what might be one of the weirdest and most terrifying children's films that has probably led to the emotional scars for an entire generation of children.....no we aren't talking about Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory....we're talking about his 1990 follow up, The Witches! A movie that might just be Mr. Bean's only serious role and oh yea is...
