The amazing Gary Kent gives us the nuts and bolts on how Brad Pitt is more or less playing him in the new Tarantino movie Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.

The Cyborg films are a franchise that is a not a franchise that is a massive franchise I guess.

No idea what happened with my recording software... so parts sound like I keep cutting Cecil off to start talking are not how it was recorded. Not sure what happened.

There were other action guys... lets look at a few of them.

Exploitation did it before anyone else... don't let the studios fool you.

We all lost something when Larry Cohen died. Lets take a look back at his legacy. https://www.patreon.com/1201_Beyond Or paypal donations to 1201beyond@gmail.com

1991 had a great deal of Genre films to it and man there were a ton of Part 2's in 1991.

The first time we have to break one of these year lookbacks up.

What happens when you are a genius and any criticism is an attack? Yes we talk about David DeCoteau among others such as Jared Cohn and the laughable Justin Price. The trailer to David Irons movie which is discussed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saOzi10orx0 It's a great movie.

Come at me nerds.

God these just don't end...

God these just don't end...

This time we make it through 1995 and the Razzies are starting to show their true colors.

At what point is the horse dead and you continually beat upon it?

Mike White stops by to help me talk about the old bootleg video scene.

Night Of The Living Dead is a classic so lets look at why it has endured so long.

Some films are so important they change the medium... lets discuss a few.

When a movie has a more interesting making of than the final film you must ask yourself... what went wrong and who is to blame.

Episode #400 - Movies About Movies... by Radiodrome

Sometimes critics are useless.

Stephen Bissette stops by and we talk about Cryptid Cinema.

What is it about Anthology films we love? Or we don't?

We all love a giant monster rampaging through a city... but why?

Body horror and slime glopola movies are closely linked right?

Hacks like Justin Price and Jared Cohn give all low budget filmmakers a bad name. David Irons, Joe Badon and Graham Skipper are real low budget filmmakers with great skill. There is a difference.

Episode #393 - The Small Details... by Radiodrome

Episode #386 - The Disney Dark Period... by Radiodrome

Only in Hollywood can you fail upwards.

One okay movie and 3 turds... oh fun.

When a long running franchise goes on for a while... why does it change so much from it's roots? When a long running franchise goes on for a while... why does it never change?

Films are of the era they are made in... sometimes that does not age well.

How many times have you screamed at a movie "THAT IS NOT HOW THAT WORKS"???

Advertising has really changed in terms of how films get a message to us.

Who else besides us remembers PM Entertainment?

Episode #378 - Vampires Everywhere... by Radiodrome

A beginning is a very delicate time...

How many damn times can a story be adapted before it's enough?

Grindhouse Purgatory Episode 19 by Radiodrome

The vigilante film is a staple of American cinema... why is that?

Episode #374 - I Ain't Afraid Of No Ghost... by Radiodrome

Everyone has to start somewhere right?

When a movie is made from a classic television show... it rarely turns out well.

When a TV show is based on a movie why does it so often turn out like ass?

With all of the bullshit around Black Panther and Get Out we break down the nonsense surrounding these pictures.

Why are there so many bad or "meh" movies?

Episode #368 - The Power Of Editing In Film... by Radiodrome

The second part of the cash in episode... Conan knock offs, Indiana Jones cash ins and of course all of the Gremlins clones.

What is the difference between a rip off and a cash in? That said what are the good and bad films in each category?

Our neighbors to the north put out great films too... lets look at some. Brandon Tenold stops but to help us.

Burt Reynolds is the man and we look back at his vast career.

Episode #363 - A Look Ahead To 2018 by Radiodrome

Alan Smithee is real right?

Some movies defy logic and just happen... what were they thinking?

Episode #360 - I Can't Be The Only One Who Liked It... by Radiodrome

Man 1990 was not a good year for genre movies.

Continuity Nightmares and Extended Universes plus we go off track and spend way too long bitching about Alien: Covenant.

God... it just never stops does it?

I love the 1999 House on Haunted Hill and there are good remakes out there... Cecil, Josh and Glenn Criddle explore a few of them and director William Malone stops by as well.

What scares us? Find out.

We talk about it all this week. Harvey, Victor, Hellboy, Death Wish...

Man, I had forgotten just how good of a year in film this was.

Stephen King has not had a great record when it comes to TV.

Here is my raw audio as shock jock Nathan Talbot for the upcoming video game from Pig Farmer (http://pigfarmergames.com/) Night Ripper. This is meant to be a 1989 late night New York City shock jock who is a provoker and evocateur. The call in show will play as background in the game so in the final game I wager most of this will not be heard. Also I want to note that I, Josh Hadley, do not share these feelings as expressed here... this is a CHARACTER I am playing. Thanks to Sara Hanley as well for being my back up here... although I have no idea WHY she chose a southern accent for her part.

1987 through today...

Part 1 of a 3 part look at the cinematic works of one King of the Stephens.

The New Pornography is what 1980's Maniac was labeled... but was it just Maniac or was it the changing face of horror itself?

1988 was a great year in film and yet is an odd year in all. Listen and hear me do some of the worst impressions ever.

When a character is played by multiple actors... who wore it better?

How do you countenance a once great director who either lost it or just gave up?

A little past the halfway mark of the year... how has it been so far?

Grindhouse Purgatory Episode 18 by Radiodrome

David Irons is one of the most creative forces in indy film today. Check out the trailers and shorts and music videos we talk about here. http://www.metropolfilms.com/films

Episode #342 - Has The Moviegoing Experience Changed? by Radiodrome

Episode #341 - Just Stop It! by Radiodrome

With the 10th ann of the movie Grindhouse this year lets look at the term and the film and see if they still hold the same meaning.

Art films and commercial films are not necessarily exclusive from one another.

Just how does a disaster of a film really happen?

The final look at the works of Charles Band... the sub labels and all of the films that never got made.

Full Moon was one of my favorite video companies and yet it's not the same company today.

Grindhouse Purgatory Episode 17 by Radiodrome

Empire films faced many trying issues and yet still gave us some great movies in those final 2 years.

I grew up on the films of Empire International and in this first part of our multi installment retrospective of the works of Charles Band we look at how the Empire was created.

The amazing Richard Stanley talked to us and we have a great interview with the man as well as a nice retrospective of his body of work.

Siskel and Ebert... what the hell guys?

We all rented Tempe video movies back in the day and Tempe is still around so I reached out to JR Bookwalter to check in on them.

What was 1987 like as a year? It was an odd one to say the least.

There are some good movies (we hope) coming up in 2017... lets take a look.

Brad Jones returns to RadioDrome for a special episode where he and I look at the best movies of the last 16ish years.

Is piracy really the scourge that the MPAA and the Doomsayers claim it is?

Grindhouse Purgatory Episode 16 by Radiodrome

Direct To Video used to mean something... what happened? Bill Lustig also gives his thoughts.

I love the films of William Lustig and I am shocked he is not more well known.

With nostalgia running amok in the movies what dangers are there in exploiting it?

Comics genius Stephen Bissette stops by and we talk in it's various incarnations.

What is Cyberpunk? What isn't?

Just what is Cinema Wasteland?

We look back at the career of an actor that was so loved.

More nonsense sequel talk.

Sometimes a sequel is as good or better than the original... not often but it happens.

More bad sequels.

Can a bad sequel ruin a good franchise?

A special dedicated to my friend Bill Margold.

Mike White and Josh take a look at the career of Miguel Ferrer.

I grew up watching and reading Joe Bob Briggs... so did you and that is why you are here. The man himself stops by and it's awesome.

What things in modern film bug the hell out of you?

When it comes to movie trailers at what point does the deception become fraud?

Some movies just can't ever seem to get made despite constantly being produced.

This time we look at the bootleg scene, the mob and american rip offs.

We all love Michael Ironside... so lets do a retrospective of his massive body of work for our Xmas special. Why not?

There are many films which existed at one point and no longer do now... as well as many films that we simply can never see. Petar and Josh look at some of these tonight.

Remember the House franchise? Who else remembers there are 4 movies? We did and we go over them all for you.

Grindhouse Purgatory Episode 12 by Radiodrome

Grindhouse Purgatory Episode 11 by Radiodrome

Remember Avco Embassy films? Of course you don't but you saw many of them and didn't even realize how much of an impact this company had.

How many times has someone (many someones) praised the hell out of a movie and for some reason you just can not get into it?

1986 was another great year for film and we dissect the good... the bad... and the "man this could only have been made in 1986".

Uwe Boll is leaving the film industry and this is a tragedy. We need a man like Boll to continue to fuck shit up. We spoke with the man himself and you need to hear this interview. You need to. It is presented here unbleeped.

Grindhouse Purgatory Episode 10 by Radiodrome

Grindhouse Purgatory Episode 9 by Radiodrome

Two old guys bitch about the youts (not a typo) who mistakenly think they are filmmakers.

Rob Zombie... damn it man why can't you make a good movie?

Fans.... ugh, fans.

Why are we attracted to horror in the movies and what type of horror is it that attracts you.

Episode 300, yeah, 300. Damn.

How many times can you remake something or add sequels or adapt the same story? When is enough enough?

A director has a style about them the same as any artist... in this episode we look at some of the styles of various directors.

Film Threat magazine made me the cynical asshole I am today... and now it might be coming back... Mike White stops by to help me look at this amazing magazine and Chris Gore is there too.

With, ugh, Sausage Party being heralded as the second coming of animated films for adults we look into what adult animation really means with the likes of Fritz The Cat, Heavy Traffic, Wizards, Cool World, Fire and Ice, Pink Floyd: The Wall, Heavy Metal, Flight Of Dragons, Zoom, Akira, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Rock N Rule and more.

Episode #295 - Plagiarism Again... by Radiodrome

As we left off last week rounding out the 80's, this week we pick up and look at the "worst films ever made" from 1990 and up.

The worst movies ever made... has a ring to it huh? Well it's mostly bullshit. These are some bad movies, no doubt, but so many awful (truly terrible) films are really out there and this list is completely unaware.

What makes a movie bad? Is it one single thing or a conglomeration of things? Can a bad performance in a well written and directed film make it a bad movie? What about terrible direction to a fantastic idea? Is that a bad movie? What really make a bad movie?

We finish our look at movies we feel need defense.

We all have movies we love that no one else does... the crew gets into it tonight in part one of our look at movies we love that no one else does.

Goddamn it, 1985 was a great year in film.

A quick little sample of the things I have to edit out of RadioDrome episodes.

With the massive flop of Legend Of Tarzan and a few years ago John Carter... why is it so damn hard to adapt the old pulp stories to the screen? Guest Buzz Dixon.

There have been marketing disasters in the past, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Star Trek Beyond and even the debacle that was David Manning... and yet 2016 will go down as the year that movie marketing went all tits up...

Why is this a franchise? Why are there 9 Madea films? How the hell are there a half dozen Step Up movies? Who the hell was asking for a 3rd Legally Blonde film? This is the question we examine... why the hell are some of these things franchises?

We all love Troma movies, from the classics like The Toxic Avenger and Class of Nuke em High to the lesser films such as Troma's War. Hell the Troma pick ups such as Screamplay or Christmas Evil are amazing too. Troma is the only Reel Independent company left out there and we should all celebrate them.

1984 was another amazing year, from Ghostbusters to Beverly Hills Cop to C.H.U.D. to Terminator, so many great films were in 1984 and we Petar puts it "1984 was the first year the 80's were comfortable being the 80's".

How accurate does a film have to be to be called a true story? If a movie is %80 made up can it still be a "true story"? What if a story has been thoroughly debunked and yet the movie that comes out years later still calls it a "true story"?

1983 is another great year in film... where do you fall on the movies of 1983?

Yet another excursion into the Grindhouse with 42nd Street Pete.

Pete is back and so is Grindhouse Purgatory.

PG-13 used to be a real rating with real weight behind it whereas now PG-13 is simply a label for a compromised film. What happened to the rating and how did it fall so hard?

1982 might just be the most awesome year in film ever. Death Wish II, Conan, Tron, Blade Runner, Star Trek II, Friday the 13th III, Poltergeist, ET and so many other amazing films came out in 1982.

We are all old... lets face it. How has the new generation of low budget filmmakers changed how films are made and is it better or worse that this is happening?

Petar is out this week so Cecil and Josh talk about some random "controversies" happening at the moment.

Another episode, another year and 1981 was a damn good year indeed. An American Werewolf in London, Charlie Chan and the Curse of the Dragon Queen, Escape from New York, Galaxy of Terror, Heavy Metal, Piranha II: The Spawning, Saturday the 14th and so many other key movies came out in this great year.

1980. What a perfect transitional year for film, part 70's and part of what the 80's will come to be defined by. Airplane, Cannibal Holocaust, Friday the 13th, The Shining, Humanoids From The Deep, 9 to 5 and even Xanadu. 1980 was an eclectic year in film.

Has the grindhouse been diminished with it's exploitation (oh the irony) in mass media?

Pete is back to look at what the grindhouse actually means to today's audience.

1979 brought us Alien, Star Trek The Motionless Picture and many other great films... what did it do for film though?

Some actors are more than actors... they go beyond the performance.

Being a film nerd is in some ways like being a nerd in general... but it also has a strange connotation to the "outside" world.

The finale of a story is the most important part, a good ending can save a bad movie the same way a bad ending can ruin a good movie. Planet of the Apes and Empire Strikes Back are examples of great endings that defied convention... just how impactful is the ending in contrast to the rest of the film?

The ending of a movie can mean success or failure... a good ending can save a bad movie and a bad ending can ruin a good movie... Planet of the Apes, Empire Strikes Back and so many others defined how much impact an ending can have... but just important is the ending?

1978 was a year of catch up in film. After Star Wars blew everyone away Hollywood was unprepared to follow it... so what happened in 1978? A lot and only some of it was good.

1977 was an amazing year in film, besides Star Wars. You also had Rolling Thunder, Wizards, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Smokey and the Bandit and a litany of other great films.

We take a break from the years and look at how nostalgia has become it's own exploitation sub-genre. Did we really need a Jem and the Holograms movie or were they simply exploiting your nostalgia? This is actually a thing they do now.

This week we take a look at 1976... there were many good films (Assault On Precinct 13, Network and Mako: The Jaws Of Death) and many bad films (King Kong, Logan's Run and The Omen). A year that attempted to eclipse it's predecessor and not really succeeding.

We look at the year 1975 in film this week... besides Jaws... what other films debuted this year? The good (A Boy and His Dog, Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold, The Devil's Rain and Monty Python and the Holy Grail among others) and the bad (Barry Lyndon, Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze, The Happy Hooker and The Stepford Wives among others). It was a turbulent year and one that marked the start of a new era in hollywood.

Brandon Tenold (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6ELOg-SELapz7QEq6N-vVKMTkw9nHTHq) stops by again to help us look at the 3 great films Tobe Hooper made for Cannon films back in the 80's, Lifeforce, Invaders From Mars and Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2.

When you adapt a book into a movie why is a literal translation impossible? What has to be changed? Does it make the product better? Or worse?

George Romero, John Carpenter, John Landis, Bob Clark, Mel Brooks and so many other great filmmakers had their heyday in the late 70's and early 80's... then the 90's brought only crap from them. Why? What happened to these guys?

When we were kids we didn't notice things in movies, such as that Ferris Beuller is a sociopath or that the guys of Delta House are the villains in Animal House. Lets look at his growing up puts old movies into a new perspective.

With Bill Cosby's arrest, we must take another look at this issue, can you separate the art from the artist?

You have to market a movie to let people know it's out there and to get people interested... but what happens when the downright bizarre marketing is employed? The new trailer for Star Trek: Beyond being a prime example. What the hell was that?

The original 1984 Silent Night, Deadly Night film is considered one of the sleaziest slasher films of the decade, but how many of you remember just how psychological and deep it was? How many of you forgot there were 4 sequels and a garbage "remake" .

How did Grindhouse movies make the transition to television? Pete is again going to show you.

Pete is back and gives you some insight into what the VHS bootleg scene of the 80's was like.

There seems to be two extremes when it comes to films these days... low budget and blockbusters with no middle ground. It was not always like this though... what happened to middle class films?

How many people even knew this franchise was still going on? The Howling is a great movie, of that there is no doubt... what about the seven (7!) sequels to it though?

The second episode of Grindhouse Purgatory... Pete takes you back to the greatest street in movie history with his remembrances of the era through his unique perspective. This time we look at how video may have played a part in the demise of the grindhouse...

The first episode of Grindhouse Purgatory... Pete takes you back to the greatest street in movie history with his remembrances of the era through his unique perspective.

The video store was once such a prominent place in our lives... and the new book "I Lost It At The Video Store" (http://www.amazon.com/Lost-Video-Store-Filmmakers-Vanished/dp/1941629156) by Tom Roston looks at how various filmmakers grew up as video store addicts. Cecil, Josh and Petar use that look at the video as a jumping off point to discuss just how much video changed movies.

How many of you even remembered that Sleepaway Camp was a franchise? Even if you did remember that... how many knew there were 5 (technically 6) movies in said franchise? Cecil is making us do this episode and it hurts, these movies really hurt.

Scifi movies rely on technology but what happens when real world technology overtakes "future" technology?

Sometimes a movie stands on it's own, sometimes it requires sequels to be good and sometimes those sequels almost ruin the original. This week we look at how sequels have become a plague in hollywood.

We all have insane fandoms that we encounter, from furries to bronies to juggalos to marvel zombies. Fandoms are everywhere for every thing but sometimes they go to far.

Ugh, last year we looked at the Children Of The Corn franchise and I was in over my head with that one... I apparently don't learn as I forced the Amityville Horror series on my co-hosts this year.

Movies are not the only place you get great horror... television has it's share as well.

Everyone bitches that some movie is the worst movie ever, but what is really the worst in scifi or horror? Cecil and Josh take a look what are considered the worst of the worst and we find many are not that bad.

Why are you drawn to horror? What is it about you that makes horror your genre?

Adam Black, creator of Locus sits down and talks to me about the state of independent comic publishing. Make sure to check out Locus, Silk & Honey and Godslayer at http://locus.departure-productions.com/

Do movies reflect society or does society reflect the movies? When one holds a mirror up to another is that a self perpetuating cycle or just how art works?

Sid freaking Haig man... this week we sit down and talk to the man himself about his career and life in TV and the movies, everything from Jason of Star Command to The A-Team to Werewolf to Galaxy Of Terror to House of 1000 Corpses.

Directors cuts are a relatively recent addition to film libraries so this week Cecil, Josh and Petar take a look how different cuts of films affects their reception and legacy.

Comic movies are a huge thing but most of them are superhero based... what about all of the comic movies that were NOT based on superheroes?

With Wes Craven's death, we forgo the scheduled topic and look at the career of Wes Craven. Everything from Last House On The Left and Nightmare On Elm Street to his TV work and even his porn work (yes, Wes Craven directed a hardcore porn).

You know, that guy, the one that was in that movie that was out last year... We know these people, those guys that make a great villain or a great supporting player but never seem to achieve the stardom they deserve, they always steal the show and yet to the mainstream they are simply "that guy". Michael Ironside, John Saxon, Sid Haig, Dick Miller, Lance Henriksen, Michael Biehn... the list goes on and on. We are giving "that guy" his due.

Cinema as a whole is rife with subversive messages and this week we examine movies with a hidden message.

With the death of Roddy Piper we look at the trend of non-actors in movies and TV. Wrestlers, musicians, talk show hosts, sports figures and the like love to act in movies, are they good at it though?

In this age of internets and rushes to judgement on films, do critics really matter? Does it matter what my opinion is of a movie? If so, why?

Fame is fleeting and many don't realize what happens after the fame ends, tonight we look at some examples of after the fame.

Episode #238 - What The Hell Happened To Vampires? by Radiodrome

With the recent passing of James Horner we look at just how much music in movies effects us. Everything from the soundtracks to Conan and Robocop to Aliens and Titanic, these pieces MAKE the film and James Horner was one of the absolute greats.

Jaws did more for the cinema than even Universal could have predicted... it spawned an entirely new genre. Petar, Josh and Cecil are joined this week by Brandon Tenold as we look at the best and worst of the Jaws knockoffs from Tentacles and Great White (The Last Shark) to Devil Fish and Cruel Jaws.

The Jaws films are so iconic (even if it's iconography is for how bad the sequels are) that it's about time Josh, Cecil and Petar looked into the impact this quadrilogy has had on film.

1989 was awash with movies set in the blackened deep of the oceans... outer space was no longer the great unexplored reach, but the darkest elements of our own planet. Petar, Cecil and Josh look at all 6 of the underwater monster flicks that arose in 1989. Leviathan, Deepstar Six, The Abyss, Lords Of The Deep, Endless Descent and The Evil Below.

Josh and Cecil look at just how much you used to be able to get away with on TV and no longer can. All in the Family would never make it today. What about Miami Vice? Twilight Zone? NYPD Blue? St. Elsewhere? Hill Street Blues? It's nuts some of the examples we have.

Terminal City Ricochet is a film that more people need to see. Jello Biafra sits down with Josh to discuss his acting career and this movie in particular. Charley McMullen joins Cecil, Petar and Josh to examine Terminal City Ricochet in more detail. Check it out.

Poltergeist has a remake coming out... so we have to look back at this franchise.

With Fury Road opening tonight... Josh, Cecil and Petar take a look at the films that brought us to this point.

Is the relationship between film and pop culture symbiotic or parasitic?

Day of the Animals is not just a movie, but a genre. This week we look at those animal attack films such as Jaws, Tentacles, Night Of The Lepus, Kingdom Of The Spiders, Tarantula, Jennifer The Snake Goddess, Frogs, Roar, Empire Of The Ants, Phase IV, Grizzly, Them and so many others.

Cecil Trachenburg, Petar Gagic and Josh Hadley are all fans of music videos and you will be surprised at just how many music videos were directed by movie directors. Michael Bay, David Fincher, John Landis, Tobe Hooper, Tony Scott, David Lynch, Stan Winson, James Cameron, Katherine Bigelow and so many others.

VHS, it's how most of us acquired our vast database of movie knowledge. Cecil, Josh and Petar take a look at how VHS changed the face of movies and how VHS even changed the face of technology itself.

Joe Dante comes back to the show and talks about his TV work from low budget anthology shows to mainstream work such as Hawaii 5-0 and CSI and the rest of us talk about how television is becoming more and more theatrical.

David Gerrold is one of those science fiction writers who's name you may not know but who's work you know all too well.

Context? Who needs context? These are just some of the random bullshit I saved while editing RadioDrome episodes.

Television has changed more than most people realize. It had gotten more graphic and yet more censored. It has become more free and yet more restrictive. The cast of RadioDrome have witnessed these changes throughout our lives and I bet you have too, you just didn't notice.

You have the right to remain silent... FOREVER. The Maniac Cop franchise is one of the most overlooked in the horror community and Josh, Cecil and Petar aim to change that.

Video Games are everywhere... movies, cartoons, comic books, novels and other assorted baubles... but does this form of art truly translate to other media? We look into this.

A few years ago I got together with frequent collaborator Mike White and KC Von B to put forth a radio program about adult films that was mature and introspective... the result was Sinema (KC Von B's title I remember correctly). In this pilot we examine the films Behind The Green Door and Cafe Flesh, films that have a relation you may not pick up on at first. We look at the stories, the histories and yes, the sex. Joining us for his thoughts is the one and only Bill Margold as well. This never made it past a pilot stage due to outside influences (lack of sponsors mostly). I would love to revive this series if a sponsor could be located who would benefit from our work. In the meantime, www.1201beyond.com/ is the place to go if you want more shows such as this or to help out the program.

Cop movies and vigilante movies are so common the themes in them are all but cliches at this point even when they should not be. Why is this? Why do we love to see the rogue cop take the law into his own hands to get the bad guy? Petar and Josh take a look at this while Cecil is off at PAX.

Uwe Boll, the name conjures up the starkest of images and yet the real man is down to earth and honestly just wants to make good films. Brad Jones, Alex Jowski and I sit down and talk to the man in a very candid piece that you are sure to devour.

Was there a better action movie director in the 1980's than James Glickenhaus? I don't think so. I sat down and talked to him on 2 separate occasions (both collected here) and got his take on movies today, his films in particular and the state of the industry and where it's going. We also discuss how 42nd Street radically changed after Shakedown was made.

Peter David, a name that any comic or scifi fan will know as one that engenders quality and originality. I sat down and talked to Mr. David about his body of work and how it was working within the confines of the franchises he works with.

How as the horror genre changed? Has it gotten better over time? Worse? Josh, Cecil and Petar look into this phenomena and then rant about how we all hate new horror films.

How much does the marketing of a movie play into it's success? Josh, Petar and Cecil examine this and Joe Dante (yes, that Joe Dante) stops by to talk about Trailers From Hell (trailersfromhell.com/) and some of the sequels to his movies... that he had nothing to do with.

What Best Of The Best is the best of the best? Mike White steps in this week to help Cecil, Josh and Petar look at the Best Of The Best Franchise.

In this second special episode of RadioDrome, writer Buzz Dixon reveals what it was like to work on the myriad of properties from the 80's which he made so distinct. G.I. Joe, Transformers, Visionaries, Thundarr and so forth.

Josh, Petar and Cecil look at disaster films and why the public is so drawn to seeing the worst aspects of their acts played out before them.

Nuclear war, radiation, giant mutant bugs... the horrors of the age of the atom. Josh, Cecil and Petar take a look at the Atomic Horrors from the 1950's through today.

In this special edition of RadioDrome we look at film preservation and speak to Joe Rubin of Vinegar Syndrome about the upcoming Vinegar Syndrome TV project which you can help with here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/vinegarsyndrome-tv-instant-digital-exploitation#/

A TV series, a film, a song... they capture (intentionally or not) the zeitgeist of the era they are created in... and that rarely translates well into a new era. Josh, Cecil and Petar take a look at some of these instances which both did and did not work being transferred out of their native times.

Petar Gagic takes his place as the new third on RadioDrome as we also welcome "special" guest Charley McMullen for this look at stoner movies. What is a stoner movie? Is it a movie that features drugs or movies made for those on drugs? Are they simply fun movies or do cautionary tales count as stoner films?

George A Romero is one of those directors who's works are iconic in the horror genre and yet... he has made far more than the average horror fan even knows. Josh, Cecil and guest Darren Orange take a look at the expansive career of George Romero.

Horror and comedy are things that go together better than they should. Special guest Mike White pops back in this week to help us look at this phenomena of horror comedies.

With the recent controversy over The Interview, Cecil and Josh take a look at other ridiculous film controversies.

Classic movies were always beloved by the public were they not? No, many films now considered absolute classics and staples of their genres were critical punching bags upon their initial release. We take a look at some of these films and the criticisms laid onto them.
