    TAKE TWO: Superior SciFi Sequels A Boston Sci-Fi Podcast

    They say imitation is a form of flattery. In Hollywood, it's a way to milk every last dollar out of an IP (Intellectual Property), Hollywood's most precious commodity. These imitations are called sequels and for the most part, they are inferior to the originals. Yet sometimes they surpass the originals. They are superior. That's what we talking about here. Great science fiction movie sequels. Our guests are Somerville Theatre Creative Director Ian Judge and Boston Hassle Editor Oscar Gaff. We'll start with BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN and stops to the Star Trek and Star Wars universe. Join us as we look at some of the bests sequels ever screened. Please note: we use clips for movies. Occasionally these clips will seemingly lack sound, and you can always see the podcast video at BostonSciFi Channel. #podcast #movies #films #sciencefiction #cinema #cinematography ##cultfilm #Watchparty #35mm #StarWars #StarTrek #MadMax You can find us on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, I Heart Radio, Google Podcasts, and wherever you get your podcasts from.

    EXTREME CINEMA Horror's Last Frontier, a Boston SciFi Podcast

    Extreme Cinema is designed to be disruptive. It is uncomfortable to watch, and yes, it can be exploitive. It can be gratuitous, mysogonistic, and for many just plain disgusting.  Boston SciFI Podcast host Garen Daly has found two articulate guests to explore horror’s last frontier - Extreme Cinema.  KILLER PICTURES author/influencer Hope Madden teams up with film critic Alexis den Boggende to crawl underneath the skin of filmdom’s dark underbelly. They’ll look at Michael Haneke’s FUNNY GAMES, Wes Craven’s LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT,  James Wan’s SAW,  Tod Browning’s FREAKS,  and more.  They’ll answer the big questions. Why are we drawn to the edge and is there a boundary we won’t cross to gross people out? Join us for this Boston SciFi Podcast Halloween edition - EXTREME CINEMA Horror’s Last Frontier This podcast uses film clips from various movies and may include periods of just sound, no voices. #films #horror #extremecinema  #indiefilmmaker #films #filmfestival #Boston  #cinema #cinematography  #movies #indiefilm #cultfilm #Watchparty  #cultfilm #35mm You can find us on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, I Heart Radio, Google Podcasts, and wherever you get your podcasts from.
