Pet Sematary (1989) Stephen King’s Most Gut Wrenching Story
Cinema Psychos - A Movie Review & Comedy Podcast
Sometimes....Dead is Better This week, we are joined by returning guest, Anastasia Elfman to dig up the horror of Pet Sematary (1989), the unsettling Stephen King adaptation directed by Mary Lambert and starring Dale Midkiff, Denise Crosby, Fred Gwynne, and a murderous toddler you’ll never forget. They unpack what makes this film so brutally effective—especially for parents—while roasting Louis Creed for being the world’s worst doctor, husband, and homeowner. From zombie cats to Wendigo lore and that unforgettable Zelda nightmare fuel, we’re diving deep into grief, guilt, and gore....

Maximum Overdrive (1986) is Why Stephen King will NEVER Direct another Movie!
Cinema Psychos - A Movie Review & Comedy Podcast
The master of horror himself, Stephen King, steps behind the camera in 1986’s “Maximum Overdrive.” A movie where the only thing that is frightening is the behind the scenes terror caused by an unhinged writer/director amidst one of their worst bouts of substance abuse. Master of Horror he may be, but King’s tale of sentient electronics and trucks (but not cars) is one of the most boring entries into his catalog of terror. But what is it that makes this movie so terrible? Join us with special guest, Dustin Goes to Hollywood from The Silver Linings Playlist Podcast as we rev up our...

And back with us again is our good friend and collaborator, Anastasia Elfman! For those of us who were bullied in high school, Carrie hits home illustrating how cruel and how much of a nightmare high school can be for those of us who are different and can feel like a bit of a revenge fantasy for the “weird kid”. But what is it about this tale of teenaged angst that has led us to not only still...

Did you know Sam Raimi, visionary Director behind The Evil Dead and the Spiderman Trilogy one time made a western? Not only that but its absolutely amazing!

Monkeybone (2001) is Beautiful Nightmare Fuel | Brendan Fraser’s Bizarre Forgotten Classic
Cinema Psychos - A Movie Review & Comedy Podcast
What happens when Henry Selick, the Director of a Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline, and James and The Giant Peach decides to create a live action film? You get the insanity that is Monkeybone. This dark fantasy/gross out comedy stars Brendan Fraser, Bridgette Fonda, the voice of John Tutoro, and zombie Chris Kattan and when it released in 2001, it failed at the box office and marked the short end to Henry Selick’s live action career. But does this movie deserve all the hate? And are there elements of Monkeybone that critics in 2001 just didn’t get? We’ll find out today with our...

Cinema Psychos - A Movie Review & Comedy Podcast

Is Captain America: Brave New World A Red Hulk-Sized Flop?
Cinema Psychos - A Movie Review & Comedy Podcast
Is Captain America: Brave New World on track to be a $400 Million Dollar Hulk-Sized Flop or are the negative reviews a bit over blown? This week, we are gliding into another entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Where last year’s Deadpool & Wolverine gave us a glimmer of hope in a MCU that embraces doing something a bit different, Captain America: Brave New World just feels like a harsh snap back to reality…and super hero fatigue. But does this movie deserve all the hate? And if so what can Marvel do going forward to try and stem the bleeding of money and gamma blood with each new...

Is Valentine (2001) an Underrated Slasher or Early 2000's Trash?
Cinema Psychos - A Movie Review & Comedy Podcast
It's Valentine's Day (well...a few days after) and what better way to tell someone you love them by scarring them for life at a 6th grade dance so that they grow up to be David Boreanaz with a bloody nose and make it their mission to murder you with hallmark greeting cards while wearing a cupid mask. This week, we are talking about Valentine from 2001. One of the last major slashers of the early 2000's that was playing off the coat tails of Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Urban Legend. Valentine, (directed by Jamie Blanks of Urban Legend fame) tells the story of Paige, Dorthy,...
info_outlineThis week, we are returning to our well of dark comedies and misunderstood misfit movies to analyze one of the darkest comedies to come out of the "edgy" and "extreme" 1990's- Very Bad Things. A movie that plays to the trope of a bachelor party gone horribly horribly wrong and illustrates the lengths that people will go to avoid consequences. Starring Daniel Stern of Home Alone fame, future Iron Man Director and Star Wars Savior John Favreau, and a very sinister Christian Slater, this movie was deridded by critics during it's original run, but is it really that awful?
