    The Mighty Death Pop! (The Films of the Insane Clown Posse)

    THIS WEEK: Big Money Hustlas (2000), Death Racers (2008) and Big Money Rustlas (2010) You may know ICP as the rapping leaders of a dubious "gang" of graps-loving clowns. You may even know them for their contributions to the science of magnetism. But did you know that they're also auteur filmmakers?

    The Other Merhi (PM Entertainment)

    THIS WEEK: Hologram Man (1995), Last Man Standing (1995) and Rage (1995) Sure, you've heard of white guy karate legend Jalal Merhi, but did you know that there was a completely unrelated Merhi who was silently pumping out high-octane DTV films by the dozen throughout the 1990s? It's time our audience got to know the name Joseph Merhi. Donate to Palestinian Medical Aid Support Optimism Vaccine on Patreon

    Bram Stoker's Big Year

    THIS WEEK: Nosferatu (2024), Dracula (2025) and Dracula (2025) Turns out this Dracula character is pretty hard to kill. Donate to Palestinian Medical Aid Support Optimism Vaccine on Patreon

    Losing the War

    THIS WEEK: The War of the Roses (1989), The Roses (2025) and War of the Worlds (2025) Bloodless incompetent regurgitation. I'm sure that's how some folks would describe our podcast, but that's just a reflection of the times we live in, baby! Let's talk about remakes. Again.

    Tron Fights for the Abusers

    THIS WEEK: Tron (1982), Tron: Legacy (2010) and Tron: Ares (2025) Tron is back again, after a fifteen year slumber. Why? I guess they thought a purported sex pest could help to quell growing societal anxieties surrounding the economical sustenance of the working class being wholly subsumed by the irresponsible deployment of artificial intelligence?

    Maria Ford: Public Figure (More Deathstalker)

    THIS WEEK: Deathstalker II: Duel of the Titans (1987), Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell (1988) and Deathstalker IV: Match of Titans (1991) The Deathstalker sequels led us down some bizarre rabbit holes, from Trump-appointed dignitaries to a bizarre A.I. infused IMDb profile hijacking? Or is it transcendence? We're still not sure. Let us know, Maria Ford. Donate to Palestinian Medical Aid Support Optimism Vaccine on Patreon

    Judging a Film by Its Poster (Deathstalker)

    THIS WEEK: Deathstalker (1983) and Deathstalker (2025) We're opening the new year with a discussion of the Corman classic Deathstalker, its Astron-6 "remake", and the sad state of sleaze in 2026. Donate to Palestinian Medical Aid Support Optimism Vaccine on Patreon

    Steven Cuff Presents: F*** You Christmas

    THIS WEEK: Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny (1972), Bikini Bloodbath Christmas (2009) and The Grinch that Stole Bitches (2024) Rather than purchasing thoughtful gifts for his loved ones, Steve spent his December scrolling Tubi. Merry Christmas to none. Donate to Palestinian Medical Aid Support Optimism Vaccine on Patreon
