Christopher has Tom watch a film he stumbled across several years ago that, despite its unassuming (okay, terrible) title, turned out to be a great watch.
Does Tom agree? Push play to find out!

The movie that pulled a great magic trick on Lydia and Christopher! They both fell for the illusion of it being a good movie, but then they pulled back the curtain…

This title presents a potential viewer with some amount of expectations on what sort of film it is going to be, and a lot of people would happily push it aside unwatched because of it.
If you DO get past the crappy title, you’ll find a really smart of well directed sci-fi/horror film.
Rocking a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes but sitting at a far too low 6 out of 10 on IMDb.

If you get the chance, give this a go!

Peter Lorre is amazing as always, but so is Colin Clive and Frances Drake.
Great little horror film. Can’t help but wonder what they might have tried to get away with if they had made this a few years earlier.
Some very unsettling tones could have been ramped up with Lorre’s dementedly love struck doctor.

What would you do if you saw the earth destroyed from millions of miles away?
We have trouble finding that answer in the 2019 thriller, 3022.

Did I really watch this or was it a fevered dream?! Surely I ate something that didn’t agree with me.
I couldn’t have just seen a little girl terrorized by an evil queen with henchmen like “Carrot-Head,” Frankenstein, a vampire, and a possibly culturally insensitive “Siamese twin,” while she and her giant skunk friend attempted to save the big bad wolf and his ogre friend.

For the first time we devote a full-length episode to a new indie film, 2026’s sci-fi mystery, VOIDANCE
(We go into spoiler territory at about minute 32, so fair warning!)

The beginning of this film had me questioning whether or not it would really go anywhere, but somewhere along the way I discovered I was completely sucked in and nearly on the edge of my seat! Stanwyck is amazing as she usually is, and it was real interesting seeing Lancaster playing such a manipulated character.
Some great supporting cast too. Ed Begley is always a pleasure to see, and William Conrad while still a big guy, was the thinnest I’ve ever seen him! Haha

This is almost a shot for shot remake of the 1962 schlocky original, which begs the question, “Why?!”
They throw in SOME small bits of comedy, mostly just helping point out the absurdity of it all, but did that REALLY need to be done?
I’d of rather seen this story taken the other direction. Make it a true horror movie. The original, if you remove the sexploitation bend on the good doctor searching for a new body, is actually pretty horrific!
This film has been made fun of enough by dozens of people. That’s not fun anymore. Do something BETTER with it.

Prehistoric girl power!
Surprisingly feminist take on the “warrior woman.”
The film is a little even in tone and tale, and always dislike slow-mo fight sequences, but this wasn’t bad.
Still plenty for the male gaze, but the whole point of the film is that women aren’t property nor exist solely for the men’s pleasure.
