Is War of the Worlds (2025) The WORST Movie EVER? (Kinda...) | Ice Cube, Amazon
Cinema Psychos Movie Reviews
Is War of the Worlds (2025) the worst Film ever or is it simply a soulless film about our capitalist hellscape of an existence? Ice Cube plays a surveillance psycho hacking his daughter's fridge while data-eating aliens invade Earth through Microsoft Teams. We watched War of the Worlds (2025) so you don't have toâthis screenlife disaster is 90 minutes of PS2 CGI, shameless Amazon product placement, and a plot dumber that feels like it's written by AI. What we're covering: Ice Cube as the villain dad we root for the aliens to vaporize "Disruptor" the hacker son and the...

The Phantom (1996): A Secretly GREAT BAD Movie!
Cinema Psychos Movie Reviews
Is The Phantom (1996) a secretly GREAT bad superhero movie, or just purple-spandex pulp trash? In this episode, we dive deep into Billy Zaneâs cult classic, The Phantom, and ask if it actually holds up in 2026.â We break down the filmâs weird production history, its roots in classic pulp comics, and why Treat Williamsâ gloriously over-the-top Xander Drax performance might be one of the last great campy â90s villains.â In this episode of Cinema Psychos Show, Brian and John cover:â The Phantom as one of the earliest costumed superheroes and pulp icons How a Joe Dante spoof...

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) is AWFUL! | FNAF2 Movie Review
Cinema Psychos Movie Reviews
Five Nights at Freddyâs 2 (2025) might be one of the most toothless horror sequels of the decade â and yes, this movie kinda sucks. In this episode of The Cinema Psycho Show, we dive into the messy lore dump, the bloodless PGâ13 kills, the bizarre FazFest setup, and why Toy Chica somehow ends up being the star of the show for all the wrong reasons. We also talk about: The opening Charlotte flashback, useless 80s parents, and the Marionette Abbyâs home and school life, plus the worldâs worst science teacher Mike as a guardian, generational trauma, and the total lack of...

Does Luc Besson's Dracula (2026) Suck? (Yes, It Really Does) | Movie Review
Cinema Psychos Movie Reviews
Luc Besson finally made a Dracula movie in 2026⌠and somehow turned it into a boring, horny, perfumeâaddled fever dream instead of a gothic horror classic. In this episode of The Cinema Psychos Show, Brian tears into Dracula (2026) and explains why this shiny new take on the Count feels more like a knockoff of better Dracula films than a bold reinvention. We break down everything that went wrong: Vlad accidentally killing his own wife, God apparently ârewardingâ him with vampirism, the unhinged sexâperfume subplot, cartoonish suicide jumps, rubbery CGI gargoyles, and a...

How Silence of the Lambs Created a New Kind of Monster (With Brian Raftery)
Cinema Psychos Movie Reviews
Author Brian Raftery joins us to explain how Silence of the Lambs didn't just give us a scary villainâit invented a whole new type. Before Hannibal Lecter, horror villains were mostly slashers in masks. Lecter changed the rules: he was clever, charming, and used his mind as a weapon. Thatâs why this movieâand this characterâstill haunts us decades later. We break down what made Lecter different, why heâs scarier than a guy with a knife, and how this film changed scary movies forever. Brian also shares secrets from his new book, Hannibal Lecter: A Life. đ...

Is Gigli (2003) Really That Bad? (Yes..It's Way Worse) | Movie Review
Cinema Psychos Movie Reviews
The legend is true. We watched the infamous 2003 bomb "Gigli" so you don't have to, and the reality is somehow worse than the reputation. Starring Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez at the peak of "Bennifer" mania, this Martin Brest-directed disaster is a baffling mix of mob thriller, offensive rom-com, and unintentional comedy. In this episode, we break down: The cringeworthy plot of a hitman trying to "convert" a lesbian mob enforcer (J.Lo). The controversial and poorly handled portrayal of an intellectually disabled character by Justin Bartha. How studio...
