CGIThis week, Brian and John try to analyze the age old conflict between nerds.....Star Trek vs Star Wars.....I mean Practical FX vs CGI.  Yes a war that has been waged  on between cinephiles in the lobbies of movie theaters across the world since 1993.  But why do these techniques in creating the fantastical have to be polar opposites?  Why is there so much love for what arguably are less realistic and more expensive practical fx and so much vitrol and critique over computer generated visual effects?  Is there room in the big tent of filmmaking for both of these...2022-08-031h 13Cinema Psychos - A Movie Review & Comedy PodcastCinema Psychos - A Movie Review & Comedy PodcastJurassic World: Dominion (2022) - Movie ReviewThis week, John and Brian sit in some group therapy as we examine the loss of their childhood with the newest dinosaur-sized turd in the form of Jurassic World: Dominion. This movie has it all:  a ridiculous plot, phoned in "member berries in the form of vintage Jurassic Park characters showing up, and all the dinosaur action that a bloated hollywood cash grab can muster.  Despite all that, the real question we all have is how can a movie franchise fall so low?  How can you start off with a movie that captured the imaginations of billions with cutting edg...2022-07-221h 00Cinema Psychos - A Movie Review & Comedy PodcastCinema Psychos - A Movie Review & Comedy PodcastDoctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness - Movie ReviewThis week, John and Brian dust off their sling rings as they re enter the world of marvel with it's newest entry (no not Thor Love and Thunder....or Ms. Marvel....Or Moon Knight....way too many marvel properties).  No we'll be talking about Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness...That's right Doctor Strange in his own movie and not just a discount Iron Man in someone else's movie.  This time around, the Doctor battles the entire multiverse in a bizarre movie that includes zombies, giant one eyed monsters (hehe), and Bruce Campbell.  So grab your Pizza Balls fro...2022-07-011h 22Cinema Psychos - A Movie Review & Comedy PodcastCinema Psychos - A Movie Review & Comedy PodcastMovie 43 (2013) - Movie ReviewWhen you think of gross out/sex comedies of the 2000's-2010's; What films come to mind?  Do you automatically go to such classics  like "Road Trip".  Or perhaps you are a bit more sophisticated and prefer to sing "Scotty Doesn't Know!" as you binge watch Euro Trip for the 50th time.  Or maybe there is a deep dark crevace in your DVD rack that holds one of the most unfunny and purely vile films to grace the silver screen.....No its not 500 Days of Sodom.  Its 2013's "MOVIE 43."  A movie that some might view as a practical joke played...2022-06-101h 14Cinema Psychos - A Movie Review & Comedy PodcastCinema Psychos - A Movie Review & Comedy PodcastThe Best & Worst Films of 2021- 2021: Year In Review - Part 2This week, we are bidding 2021 one last kick in the face....I mean..."Fond Farewell."  As has become tradition on this podcast, we have our top picks for best and worst films of the past year.  Some of them may surprise you, infuriate you, or may even make you decide to check out some gems that you had not yet heard of.  So grab grab your pencil and paper as we break out our top picks for best and worst films of 2021!

As we come down from the halloween highs, Brian and Laine felt it was a good idea to take a deep look at this series that manages to on one hand bring a good amount of gore and decent characters to life, but at the same time anger and confuse Brian due to a lack of attention to detail or following the film's own rules.

And wouldn't you know it, we got one in the form of the Justin Armaos' new release, "Bloodsucka Jones vs. The Creeping Death." A movie that serves as not only a comedic play off of blaxsploitation cinema but also zombie movies (which has our interest already peaked as we are all based in Pittsburgh: The Zombie Capital of the World).

A movie that some say isn't really a movie but more or less a collection of clips and drone footage from the raving of a sundrenched madman bent on solving the worlds problems by "cleansing" the world of bad people. So yea....It's a fun movie for the whole family....if that family is perhaps the Manson family.

Theaters: Rumble in the Socially Distant JungleThis week, we are tackling a topic that is tearing Hollywood apart. The guttaral street fight that has broken out between HBO Max and streaming services vs Movie Theaters. The battle is of course over HBO Max's decision to release their 2021 blockbuster films on streaming as well as through traditional theaters. We get in a heated debate that tackles everything from whether studios will continue streaming after the pandemic ends, whether consumers will go back to theaters, and what movie theaters SHOULD do to compete in the post pandemic world where streaming might seriously threaten their very existence.

There weren't a great deal of movies that came out during 2020 as we all were trying to divert our attention away from the doom scrolling with Tiger King or trying to master chess after watching Queen's Gambit.

Even though 2020 has done a number on all of us, we here at The Cinema Psychos Show refuse to let it take away our celebration of odd ball holiday classics. And no movie is more odd ball enough than the 1988 Bill Murray classic, SCROOGED. A film that marked the return of Murray into a leading comedic role (we'll ignore that Little Shop of Horrors cameo), Scrooged retells the classic Charles Dicken's story, "A Christmas Carol" through a modern parody that touches on everything from late 1980's obsession over television...2020-12-061h 08Cinema Psychos - A Movie Review & Comedy PodcastCinema Psychos - A Movie Review & Comedy PodcastPlanes, Trains, and Automobiles - Movie Review This week is Thanksgiving here in the US which means that it is time for us to pull out one of our Thanksgiving horror classics to review......hmmm aside from Thankskilling which we already did, there doesn't seem to be any left.

We are of course referring to academy award winning actor, Brad Dourif portrayal of the "all rubber" serial killer in a matching jumper, Chucky in The Child's Play Series.

A movie that takes all the things you loved about Alien and Aliens and dumps it into a toilet bowl full of brown depressing poo.

We are of course talking about the one and only (thank god) film about gold hungry aliens: Battlefield Earth.

John Carpenter is a man who may be responsible for not only the birth of the modern slasher film but also a large collection of some of the most beloved cult classics to come from the 1980's.
