Cinema Psychos - A Movie Review & Comedy Podcast

Is the best batman movie ever a 1993 box office bomb that Warner Bros. Failed to market properly? We think so! This week we are reviewing Batman: Mask of The Phantasm. The first animated feature film coming off the heels of Batman The Animated Series’s first season. The film is unique in its approach to focus more on Batman himself and his reasoning for donning the cape and cowl rather than focus on his rogues gallery. But what is it about this animated movie that has been able to capture the essence of Batman? And what can feature length live action Batman movies learn from this film?...

Cinema Psychos - A Movie Review & Comedy Podcast

In this episode, we dive into Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving, a holiday slasher inspired by classics like My Bloody Valentine and April Fool’s Day.

Join us as we explore the film’s highs, lows, and its place in the horror hall of fame. NEWSLETTER and UNCUT REELS!!!!! We are adding a weekly companion newsletter for the podcast that will...

Cinema Psychos - A Movie Review & Comedy Podcast

Poltergeist (1982) is the Steven Spielberg produced and Tobe Hooper directed haunted house movie that shows how the horror genre can hit multiple layers of social commentary and still deliver chilling terror without being viewed as "preachy". From commenting on Manifest Destiny, The American Dream, Reagan's America and White Flight, there is a literal cornucopia of meaning that you can find in this film. However, none of that has ever translated over to the sequels (Poltergeist 2 and Poltergeist 3) or the remake. But what is it really about this film and film franchise about suburbia gone to...
