    Nightmare City (1980)

    Nightmare City (1980)

    Umberto Lenzi (Eaten Alive, Cannibal Ferox) takes it easy for a change and brings us Nightmare City (1980), a cautionary tale of a society destroyed by its own nuclear-powered hubris... and a C-130 full of blood drinking zombies.

    This film borrows from George Romero and Bram Stoker to teach the audience that sometimes, nature is better. Plus, every sixth zombie has an axe for some reason.

    Join Brian and Jason as another bizarre movie prompts discussions of alienation, terror, and special effects. They also discuss how women were depicted in Italian and American films from this time.

A really good time

Brian and Jason are great pair. Very funny! From the review of the movies(which usually have some interesting facts about the production of the film) to the bits. Always entertaining and I find myself wanting more after each episode.

Entertaining!!!

Wow these guys are great!

OldSoulCameras ,

Good solid Hangout

Great, sometimes silly-loaded, conversations with fun tidbits because they are characters. Digesting all the movies no one else will watch with you. Love it.
