Cinema PSYOPS

CinePsyEP245: Brotherhood Of Death  A film from the Blaxploitation genre unseen by Cort until the review for this show leaves both hosts pleasantly surprised and sparks an enthusiastic, though ultimately short review.  Matt may or may not be the most qualified person to speak on this film and Cort is definitely convinced that whatever Matt has to say is at least important enough to be in the show...

CinePsyEP244: Stripped To Kill  Kay Lenz stars in this sexploitation schlock fest that has Mr Roper, the artsy dad of “My Two Dads”, and a bunch of amazing burlesque style striptease routines set to bad music.  Matt proclaims that there is no plot while Cort protests that plot was never the reason to Watch Stripped To Kill.  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0PhshKRtKhh4ESfKhrer6s?si=7M_fLKDs...

CinePsyEP243: Countess Dracula  Ingrid Pitt shines as a Countess Báthory analogue in this Hammer Films Classic. Matt and Cort debate the morality of virgin blood sacrifice for a hot significant other and praise the make up and production work of the film. There is news, there are out takes, and there are so many freaking clips in the Two Hundred Forty Third straight week of this show.   Spotify: h...

CinePsyEP242: Out Of Control Impulse buys and rentals based on posters or a crush on a single actress in a film can reap either a tremendous reward or a horrendous punishment.  What happens to the show next due to such an impulse buy is something you should really enjoy. Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0PhshKRtKhh4ESfKhrer6s?si=7M_fLKDsRomBgiowA0WWOA iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podc...

CinePsyEP241: Erotic Nights Of The Living Dead Once again, any and all excuses will be accepted and made to discuss Laura Gemser on this show in any form.  Erotic Nights Of The Living Dead does not feature Ms Gemser in a main character capacity, but she remains the unhealthy fixation of both socially and emotionally distant co hosts of the show. Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0PhshKRtKhh4E...

CinePsyEP240: Emmanuelle and the Deadly Black Cobra A shockingly poignant tale of love, lust, jealousy, sibling rivalry, and snake dancing is on the show this week with Emmanuelle and the Deadly Black Cobra.  Of course any and all excuses will be accepted and made to discuss Laura Gemser on this show in any form.   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0PhshKRtKhh4ESfKhrer6s?si=7M_fLKDsRomBgiowA0...

CinePsyEP239: Christina 1984 Cort develops a quick obsession with Jewel Shepard and Matt decides he just doesn’t see why.  The dim witted duo then discuss Christina, an erotic B movie from 1984 that was made specifically for the Playboy Channel.  Every film of this nature the show has covered yet seems to have elements that neither of the boys can find enjoyable, and the objectionable elements in...

CinePsyEP238: In The Cold Of The Night Should we be panicked and run to the hills from the pandemic?  Should we talk about a film that is quite possibly the template of “Erotic Thriller” films for the bulk of the 90’s?  In The Cold Of The Night makes an early appearance in 1990 and sets a mark as one of the earliest of the decade. Is it a good film? Was any of the 90’s direct to video “Erotic Thri...

CinePsyEP237: Linda and Abilene And Passion Plantation The boys do another old school double feature cast where they discuss the third and final film in the lost pornographic films of Herschell Gordon Lewis.  Linda and Abilene is a tale of the old west and incest which has the hosts debating (Lets call it that) the morality of the film.  Passion Plantation is the basic Nazisploitation film plot wi...

CinePsyEP236: Black Love and The Ecstasies Of Women The boys do an old school double feature cast where they discuss two of the lost pornographic films of Herschell Gordon Lewis.  Black Love is a hardcore feature masquerading as a cultural study of the black community that is racist AF and The Ecstasies Of Women is a soft core feature that attempts to channel a groovy 60’s vibe.  The films spark m...

CinePsyEP235: That’s Sexploitation! The ballyhoo,  fervor, and frenzy behind some of the most outrageous elements of exploitation filmmaking is explored in  That’s Sexploitation!  A fascinating documentary that covers the decades span of sleazy movies that fought against censorship and produced content to titillate regardless of the legal ramifications.  That’s Sexploitation! brings it all out int...

CinePsyEP234: Death Laid an Egg  A long ass intro in the show catches everyone up on what is up with that Muzak and Cort’s erratic behavior.   The boys then talk about the proto-eurosleaze fest that is Death Laid an Egg. Also the entire back catalog of CinePsy will be disappearing soon so download the back episodes you want to keep asap.   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0PhshKRtKhh4ESfKhre...

CinePsyEP233: Antropophagus  Cort Starts the show by declaring he is quitting and this is the last show for Cinema Psyops.  Matt attempts to console and find out what is wrong with him, but has no luck.  The pair work through 1980’s Antropophagus as Cort’s anger and irritation slowly subside while Matt’s discomfort and nausea increase.  Will the show be saved so that Cort can get his sadistic groo...

CinePsyEP232: Luther The Geek When a film’s reputation has it built up to be at a mythical level, the search for and obtainment of that film becomes more than a check on a list of other movies. A rare find is often lauded for its scarcity over its own merit, but what happens when that rare find is also a notorious and sometimes devious artifact?  The myth grows even more.  Luther The Geek represen...

CinePsyEP231: Lady Frankenstein Gothic horror and salacious femme fatal worlds collide in the story of Lady Frankenstein. Obsessed with her fathers work and on the verge of perfecting its processes, the titular character manipulates her way through treachery and slimy men trying to bed her using only her feminine wiles and her own treacherous nature. The plot twists more than the knives stabbed in...

 CinePsyEP230: Giallo In Venice Giallo In Venice was a much sought after film for Cort upon seeing only a brief shot that lit his imagination on fire as to what would happen next.  After losing the grey market supplier who had the film available and not even knowing the name of the film or what that brief glimpse even represented, it surfaced years later when Scorpion Releasing put the film out.  ...

CinePsyEP229: Malibu High Back to pure exploitation this week in PSYOPS land. Malibu High was a revelation and a breath of fresh air after the previous week’s disappointment.   Marketed as a straight up teen sex romp, the film has a darker edge that really gave the boys something to sink their cinematic teeth into and discuss. Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0PhshKRtKhh4ESfKhrer6s?si=7M_fLK...

CinePsyEP228: Mountaintop Motel Massacre A long forgotten entry in the slasher genre from the earliest days of its inception, Mountaintop Motel Massacre has more interesting behind the scenes stories than thrilling kills or plot.  Matt literally phones it in once again, this time because he wanted to watch some stupid sports ball event the same week of xmas on the only night the boys could record....

CinePsyEP227: Holiday In Cannibal Holocaust Cannibal Holocaust, The big daddy of all exploitive trash cinema is on the docket for the Holiday review.  Some may call this the most wonderful time of the year, however some perspective on the worst man kind has to offer may help to enhance the holiday cheer, or ruin it. Just face it, Cort is miserable and wants everyone else in Whoville to be as loath...

CinePsyEP226: Galaxy Of Terror A film with one trick and a nasty selling point of a maggot sexual assaulting  a woman to death, Galaxy of Terror is somehow just now making its way onto this show.  The effects and production design are a precursor to what James Cameron would later do with his film Aliens.  A star studded cast with suits and opticals purchased from a Battlestar Galactica liquidation...

CinePsyEP225: Battle Royale Full Franchise Fest Upon every 25th episode a Full Franchise Fest must be celebrated in the PSYOPS Labs.  The boys decide the best way to handle the 9th installment of this on going series is to cover a franchise with only two movies in it. (Hey, it’s still the FULL Franchise)  That brings us to the cultural phenomenon that is Battle Royale.  Plagued with controversy an...

CinePsyEP224: The Poughkeepsie Tapes Things become a little dour in the studio as Cort and Matt get a little help from Brandon to discuss The Poughkeepsie Tapes. The discussion is sparked from an experiment to see if a hackneyed theory Cort had about seeing the film in its poor quality bootleg form being more effective than the modern BluRay HD transfer and all of its high resolution.  The group g...

 CinePsyEP223: Forbidden World After a phenomenal episode on The Devil’s Nightmare, Cort chooses the schlocky Forbidden World to talk about to destroy all momentum and guarantee an episode of sheer tom foolery and stupid juvenile antics.  Mission accomplished as the show completely derails with in seconds of the start.   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0PhshKRtKhh4ESfKhrer6s?si=7M_fLKDsRomB...

CinePsyEP222: Devil’s Nightmare The studio has a guest visitor drop in to discuss her favorite horror film Devil’s Nightmare and verbally accost Matt at opportune moments.   Cort leads the charge and repeatedly distracts everyone creating shit loads of outtakes and clips. We have feed back from both NaschyCast hosts, an overdue gift delivery from Paul of Who Will Survive that Cort misplaced for a...

CinePsyEP221: Ash Vs Evil Dead Season 3 Matt is back and finally able to hear enough to participate in this epic episode that discusses the end of the Ash Vs Evil Dead series.  There is an update on what made Matt sick and how his illness was made worse by medical treatments, news, and a very cranky Cort due to Carb withdrawal.     Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0PhshKRtKhh4ESfKhrer6s?si=7...
