All in one movie from 1999 — and nobody talks about it. This week on Cinema Psychos, Brian and John are joined by Amanda and Lucy of Wine & Crime — the true crime & comedy podcast — to dig into Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999), the mockumentary dark comedy that bombed at the box office, got roasted by Roger Ebert, and quietly became one of the greatest cult films of the decade. We're...

🚨 Subscribe to our newsletter!- Does Amy Heckerling's Clueless from 1995 still hold up after 31 years? This re-imagining of Jane Austen's Emma starring Alicia Silverstone, Stacey Dash, Brittany Murphy, and the immortal Paul Rudd represents the pinnacle of mid 90's culture, fashion, and slang (as if!). In honor of 90's movie month, we are cracking open this time capsule about love....apparently of the former step sibling kind...with a special movie review with our new friends Sarah and Kellie of @FinalGirlsPodcast. 📺 The Final Girls Podcast: CHAPTERS: Introduction [00:00]...

🚨 Subscribe to our newsletter!- Is Reality Bites the ultimate 90s time capsule — or just a movie full of people you want to shake? We dig into Ben Stiller's 1994 Gen X classic and we're not holding back. Brian and co-host John are joined this week by Rachael and John of the YaJagoff Podcast, Pittsburgh's beloved local institution — for a full movie review and film analysis of Reality Bites. We break down Winona Ryder's Lelaina, Ethan Hawke's infuriating Troy Dyer, the love triangle that divides audiences to this day, and whether this cult film still holds up 30 years later. This...

What happens when two wealthy socialite heiresses end up in the pacific northwest at the height of The Great Depression. You get The Wilde Girls, a new indie film that I had the pleasure of viewing recently. So let's break down the good and bad in this movie filled with bears, button men, and heart. Synopsis: The year is 1932. Two clueless socialite heiresses with zero survival skills find themselves lost in the wilderness with a price on their heads. An unenthusiastic alliance with a misanthropic mountain man may be their only chance. Starring: Teddy Smith Cali Scolari Lydia Pearl Pentz...

Let's go." Nobody wrote a real script. Nobody asked questions. And somehow, nobody noticed the kid protagonist falls nine stories into an abandoned building in the first five minutes and should be dead for the entire rest of the film. This week on the Cinema Psychos Show, Brian and John are digging into Kazaam — one of the most competently filmed disasters in...

Kevin Costner spent $200 million making a Mad Max ripoff on the open ocean — and the man has gills behind his ears. That's right. Waterworld's hero is a merman. A gill-having, web-toed, pee-drinking merman. And Cinema Psychos is here to ask the only question that matters: Really That Awful? Brian and John go full deep dive on Waterworld (1995), one of Hollywood's most notorious production disasters and one of the most divisive bad movies of the 1990s. They cover everything: why shooting on open ocean is genuinely suicidal for a film budget, how Kevin Costner fired his own director...

McDonald's killed Batman. Then Warner Brothers buried him in neon. After Batman Returns traumatized parents and Christian groups, McDonald's panicked and pulled their Happy Meal deal. Warner Brothers, terrified of losing fast food merchandising money, forced a course correction that gave us Batman Forever—a neon-soaked, toyetic mess that abandoned Tim Burton's gothic vision for Joel Schumacher's campy, pun-filled nightmare. In this 10th anniversary episode of the Cinema Psychos Show, hosts Cottington and John Wooliscroft do a full Batman Forever fix and Batman Forever review—ranting about...

Is Panic Room just Home Alone For Adults? David Fincher's 2002 home invasion thriller is sharper, darker, and weirder than you remember — and this week we're breaking down every inch of it. Brian, John, and returning guest Anastasia Elfman revisit one of the most underrated thrillers of the early 2000s. They cover Fincher's Hitchcockian direction, those impossibly fluid CGI camera moves, and the film's relentless tension-building — plus everything the IMDb synopsis conveniently left out. On the table this week: whether Jared Leto's cornrow-sporting Junior ruins the film or serves it...

Ready or Not 2 is in theaters — so we went back to where it all started. Brian, John, and filmmaker/critic KT Baldassaro (@MovieRuntime) dig into the 2019 original and make the case that it's one of the smartest, funniest, most satisfying horror comedies of the last decade. A bride. A devil-controlled game box. A mansion full of rich lunatics. Hide and seek to the death. What we cover: Why this is more satire than horror and why that makes it better — Samara Weaving's all-time performance and why she carries the whole film Why Adam Brody's Daniel has the real character arc, not...

Sam Raimi is BACK — and he brought the blood, gore and laughs! This week on The Cinema Psychos Show, Brian and John are joined by returning fan favorite Anastasia Elfman to break down Send Help, the gloriously unhinged, darkly comedic horror film that proves Sam Raimi still has the sickest tricks up his sleeve. We're talking demonic camera moves, Rachel McAdams absolutely losing her mind, the most satisfying workplace revenge scene in recent memory, and enough gore to make Evil Dead fans weep with joy. Is this the Sam Raimi film we've been waiting for since Army of Darkness? We think so. But...
info_outlineEver since we saw The Cell (2000), its wild and disturbing visuals have been stuck in our heads. So we decided it was time for a deep dive to really explain what makes this movie so uniquely terrifying and brilliant.
In this episode of The Cinema Psychos Show, Brian and special guest Jordan The Grey Witch give their full reaction and review. We'll break down Tarsem Singh's insane direction, Vincent D'Onofrio's chilling performance, and why Jennifer Lopez's role was such a big moment for her.
Think of this as our ultimate movie recap for one of the most visually stunning horror films of the 2000s.
Here's some of what we get into:
- Our genuine reaction to the most messed-up scenes (you know the ones).
- How the costume design connects to Bram Stoker's Dracula.
- Why we think it's like "The Matrix in reverse for grown-ups."
- Analyzing the serial killer's psyche and the film's surprising depth.
- Our final verdict on whether this 2000 cult classic holds up.
