It's the long-promised, long-awaited MATINEE! Wait, aren't matinees supposed to be early? Don't think about it too much. This may be Joe Dante's forgotten masterpiece, comedy-horror mash-up love-letter to the movies, among a career of comedy horror mash-ups and love-letters to the movies. But this one has John Goodman! And Cold War panic! AND... MANT! Please rate, review, and tell...

It's time for more Tubi trash! And this week, we're looking at something from one of Full Moon Features' most beloved masters of trash: David DeCoteau, the mastermind behind such horny classics as Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama and Nightmare Sisters put together his own series of very GAY horny films, and this Frankensteinish one is a lot of fun. Join us for so much MALE G...

Okay fiends, we're revisiting The Brain That Wouldn't Die with this incredibly fun and funny remake from 2020 that is clearly not getting enough attention.

We're returning to the world of Donovan's Brain this week, but now we've moved forward to the '50s. We've also got a younger, more relatable (but still quite misogynistic) mad scientist. Actually a somewhat less mad scientist, if we're honest. But the science is still sciency and the madness is still mad. Oh, and Nancy Reagan is there? Join us! Please rate, review, and tell...

It's time to start talking about Donovan's Brain! But this first time, we're not gonna call it Donovan's Brain. Yes, there's a guy named Donovan.

Um... depends on your definition of "monst...

This week is a solo episode with your favorite(?) mad scientist, and we are plumbing the depths of Tubi obscurities to look at a Frankensteinian, dystopian, noirish fable of jealousy and betrayal that has some interesting ideas and some really impressive dual casting, but that is just a little light on emotion and characterization.
