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.

Poltergeist (1982): When The American Dream Turns into a Nightmare
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...

info_outlineThis week, we examine what happens when you get one of the biggest comedians of the 90’s, hot off a hugely popular animated film, and give him free reign in a movie about a man-child son of an eccentric toy maker battling over the soul of his toy company with his militaristic uncle surrounded by absurdity, grossly beautiful set pieces, and oh yea a robot sister. You get the movie “Toys” from 1992 and it is our pick for “Really That Awful?”
