    High Concept/Low Budget, Ranked

    High concept ideas don’t need studio money, just nerve, invention, and a willingness to get weird. This week on Binge Movies, Jason is joined by Paul from The Slashers and The Countdown to rank and eliminate a lineup of high-concept, low-budget films that swing big with limited resources. These are movies built on bold premises, scrappy execution, and the kind of creative problem-solving that only comes from constraint. Some stretch their ideas to the breaking point. Others prove that a great hook can outweigh a thin wallet. All of them raise the same question: when money is scarce, what really matters? El Mariachi (1992) Cube (1997) Primer (2004) The Man from Earth (2007) Coherence (2013)   Coming to you from the last video store in the universe...this is Binge Movies.Credits Host: Jason Produced by: Binge Movies Franchisees: Heather, Dan, Jason, Matt, Pete Support: patreon.com/bingemovies

Far away from the Last Video Store in the Universe. But... The store is still open. The aisles are intact. The lights are on. Please begin making your way back to Akron.

    Body Horror Movies, Ranked

    From the last video store in the universe, we’re diving headfirst into the fleshscape. This is the episode where skin melts, bones twist, metal fuses, and the human form becomes… negotiable. We’re ranking five of the most nightmarish entries the genre has ever produced: 1. Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989): Industrial noise. Screaming metal. The body as weapon. 2. Society (1989): The shunting heard ’round the world. 3. Body Melt (1993): Wellness culture taken to its liquifying extreme. 4. Thanatomorphose (2012): Slow, rotting decay as an art-film endurance test. 5. Possessor (2020): Cronenbergian mind/body invasion for the digital age. We break down the gore, the metaphors, the transgressions, and the sheer cinematic audacity of filmmakers who dared to ask, “What if humanity was just… obsolete?” Press play and prepare for mutation. Only one of these atrocities will survive the ranking. Credits Host: Jason Produced by: Binge Movies Franchisees: Heather, Dan, Jason, Matt, Pete Support: patreon.com/bingemovies
