358: The People Under The Stairs [1991] Movie Discussion

Spooky Time is upon us again and this time we have chosen to dissect one of the works of Horror Master Wes Craven. The question is are we getting gritty exploitative Wes Craven or goofy Wes Craven as we lose ourselves in the labyrinth of The People Under The Stairs. Turns out its a bit of both, but can we stomach the mix of tones served to us? Be prepared for: irrelevant (but perhaps accurate) tarot, bafflement over the name Poindexter, dragon hoards, gimp suits, wall people, some very good dog acting, some debatably good symbolism and a somewhat out of place third act.

357: Upgrade [2018] Movie Discussion

We have an Upgrade thrust upon on this week at SFFCH, but don’t worry because, whilst it does take over an hour and a half to complete, we think it is well worth it for a change. So come and join us as we: wonder what it would be like to have the Microsoft paperclip in your mind, get alot of of pleasure from the pun of ‘hand gun’ and ponder a little too much of how to most effectively torture Elon Musk.

356: Ruthless People [1986] Movie Discussion

We’ve earned the privilege of being allowed into The Big Room this time on Spoiler Filled, so we decided to put on Ruthless People really loud, a movie that seemingly invented the stereotypical 80’s aesthetic while also lampooning it at the same time. Although, what would you expect from a Zucker/Abrams production. In store for you this time, dear listener, is: kidnapping, murder plots, sex tapes, blackmailing, attempted dog killing, Danny DeVito being the biggest asshole and yet it’s all a zany comedy.

355: Starcrash [1978] Movie Discussion

Sometimes you just have to be amazed at just what someone can create and persuade people to do in the face on so many artistic and financial hurdles. Honestly, we are just kinda impressed by the gumption it takes to make a movie like StarCrash, despite it turning out to be the hot mess of a Star Wars rip-off that is it. This week, be prepared for: Texan dildo robots, intergalactic perms, Christopher Plummer being in the wrong movie, David Hasselhoff being in the RIGHT movie, robot misogyny, fairy-light stars and things that look like lightsabers, The Death Star and The Force, but definitely aren’t, OK!
