    In this episode of Cult Film School, Adrian and Dion expose themselves to some iconic cult world cinema: Indonesian Cult Classics Mystics in Bali (1981) and Lady Terminator (1989). Black magic, witchcraft, supernatural insanity, and consistently baffling English language dubbing (and other narrative and editing choices!) are a feast for the senses.

    The Blackest of Christmases: Black Christmas (2006) & Black Christmas (2019)

    This Christmas season, Adrian and Dion return to the Winter Wonderland of Christmas trauma with the Black Christmas remakes: Black Christmas (2006) and Black Christmas (2019). Bob Clark’s 1974 film is a horror classic, so what could go wrong when these films remake it? Grab your eggnog, and get ready for plenty of Christmas decorations and confusing choices (cannibalism? message movie?). Adrian and Dion won’t be dreaming of a "Black Christmas," but, oh, the nightmares.   Chapters: 0:00:12 - Welcome to Cult Film School 0:02:42 - Why the Black Christmas Remakes?!? 0:05:01 - Black Christmas (2006): IMDb Plot Summary 0:05:44 - Black Christmas (1974): IMDb Plot Summary 0:07:01 - Black Christmas (2006): Similarities to the Original 1974 Film? 0:09:14 - Black Christmas (2006): Differences from the Original 1974 Film? 0:11:37 - “The Weinstein Touch,” or, How Bob and Harvey Weinstein Interfered in the 2006 Production 0:18:55 - The Gifts of Black Christmas (2006) 0:21:16 - The “Sort-Of” Mystery in Black Christmas (2006) 0:24:39 - The Problems with “Agnes” and the Backstory in Black Christmas (2006) 0:29:31 - The Alternate Endings of Black Christmas (2006) 0:34:07 - Black Christmas (2006): Tagline 0:36:32 - Black Christmas (2019): IMDb Plot Summary 0:37:40 - Black Christmas (2019): Similarities to the Original 1974 Film? 0:41:01 - Black Christmas (2019): Differences from the Original 1974 Film? 0:42:02 - Sophia Takal’s Always Shine (2016): A Director on the Rise? 0:44:57 - Production History of Black Christmas (2019) 0:46:51 - The Many Problems with the “Message-Movie” Black Christmas (2019) 0:52:49 - Black Christmas (2019) and its Presentation of Female and Male Characters 0:56:50 - Black Christmas (2019) as Public Service Announcement 0:59:51 - Black Christmas (2019): Alpha Males and Beta Males 1:03:42 - The Ideological “Message” of Black Christmas (2019) 1:07:16 - Black Christmas (2019): Tagline 1:09:29 - The Blackest of Christmases: A Christmas Carol of Contrasts 1:12:09 - Next Episode Preview   Connect with Adrian & Dion: Letterboxd ~ CultFilmSchool Instagram ~ @cultfilmschool  Threads ~ @cultfilmschool X ~ @cultfilmschool Facebook  ~ Follow Us!

    Musical Aliens: Voyage of the Rock Aliens (1984) & Earth Girls Are Easy (1988)

    In this episode of Cult Film School, Adrian and Dion circle back to the 1980s with alien invasions that burst into song: Musical Aliens! They look to the “everything-and-the-kitchen-sink” genre parody Voyage of the Rock Aliens (1984) and the bubblegum brightness of the SoCal musical alien sex comedy Earth Girls Are Easy (1988). They’ll discuss the excesses and oddities in both films, the music, the aliens, and some questionable choices, and the joys these musicals bring. Will Adrian and Dion survive these alien visitors? Maybe, but only if they could carry a tune.   Chapters: 0:00:13 - Welcome to Cult Film School 0:03:18 - Re-introductions to 1950’s Aliens & Contemporary Genre Mash-ups (A CFS Primer) 0:07:26 - Voyage of the Rock Aliens (1984): IMDb Plot Summary 0:08:40 - Inspirations for & Production History of Voyage of the Rock Aliens 0:12:50 - Music Video Confusion in Voyage of the Rock Aliens 0:16:23 - Musicians as Actors as Aliens and “Comedy” 0:17:11 - The Many Narrative Confusions of Voyage of the Rock Aliens (aka “Why?
