"This isn't the f**king X-Files, goddammit!" No, this is a direct sequel to the surprise 1995 naked Natasha Henstridge sci-fi smash hit... it's Species II. Gali and Devlin have a close encounter with an awfully icky alien, as the sequels creators have gender-swapped the intergalactic sexual predator with unsurprisingly unpleasant results. Will a sloshed Michael... Continue Reading →
“I'm uh, investigating a laundry folding machine with a bad case of demon possession.” We’re on the road to haunted Maine for Tobe Hooper’s 1995 Stephen King Bargain Bin curio The Mangler. When the gigantic industrial speed iron at Gartley’s Blue Ribbon Laundry Factory graphically swallows an elderly woman, bug-eyed, troubled local cop Officer John... Continue Reading →
Films chosen and introduced by Matt In 1982, the Ladd Company unleashed the dystopian sci-fi classic, Blade Runner. In 1984, they crapped out the first Police Academy movie. Quite the about turn. Overtly racist, sexist, homophobic, fat-shaming characters populated the hugely popular hit, which spawned six shady sequels ranging from amusing to abhorrent. Believe it... Continue Reading →
OUTLANDER! We’re lost on the back roads of Nebraska, following the disorientating street signs to the Bargain Bin to revisit the cut-price kid cult King flick Children of the Corn from 1984.

The Bargain Bin gives us a chance to pay a little more attention to those ubiquitous, 'passive watch' movies that marinated our formative years, and see whether there's more to mine from them, or whether they deserved nothing more than their place in the discount section. “She’s going to use a computer!” We’ve told our...

Perhaps it's old age, maybe my Jaws... Continue Reading →

Film chosen by Gali and Devlin (sort of), introduced by Devlin We have, somehow, reached a half-century of episodes of this little ramblepod. And while this round of Throwbacks was due to be my choice of The Misfits, there was a feeling in the air that perhaps an elegiac, monochrome monument to the decaying embers... Continue Reading →
Introduced by Matt Mellow greetings. I think my twelve-year-old self would roll his eyes if I said anything other than Demolition Man is a fun, rip-roaring slice of ’90s action cinema. I have little desire to pick it apart too much. I’m fiercely loyal to the films of my youth, particularly these days, and will... Continue Reading →
