Action. Science Fantasy. Horror. These were the elements in the mind of director James Cameron that brought us the most arguably iconic action movie of all time: THE TERMINATOR! Arnold Schwarzenegger is the titular villain: an advanced cybernetic killing machine known as the T-800 sent back in time to 1984 L.A. to kill Sarah Conner (Linda Hamilton) who's son will lead humanity to victory the future war of man v machine. Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) is a Resistance soldier sent back by John Connor to protect his mother. As the two race to find Sarah before the other, the future of humanity hangs by a thread. Bullets fly, bodies drop and Sarah's world will never be the same. This box office hit rocketed Arnold to stardom. And it all started when The Running Man, who would take on a Predator and become the top 80's action Commando, told the world: "I'll be back..." 

Who wins the future? How well does the effects of 1984 hold up today? Did the car insurance companies pay for all those stolen vehicles? And why did Linda and Michael's sex scene look so hot? Find out in today's review! 

Join Cordell and Newty of NFW and It's Not Horror...Okay podcast as they discuss the cult classic gem of 80's action!

From the heart comes a warning of bloody good cheer, filled with spoilers and legends is this podcast you'll hear! Welcome back Cinacultists! Today we are breaking down Canada's 1981 slasher My Bloody Valentine! 20 years ago, a tragic mining accident left hardworking Harry Warden insane and driven by revenge. After murdering two supervisors and warning the town to never hold another Valentine's Day dance, Warden was committed to Eastfield Mental Institution where he has remained since. But this year, the younger generation is ignoring the silly old "legend" and are preparing to to spread the love. However, a box of chocolates with a bloody human heart shows up with a dire warning: cancel the dance! Is this just a prank by town goof Howard or has Harry Warden returned? Can Sarah chose between TJ or Axel? Join Cordell and Tyler as they delve into this romantic killer classic on it's 40th anniversary!

Released in the same year as Friday the 13th: Part 2 and Halloween II, My Bloody Valentine was an early entry of the blooming slasher genre of the 1980's. To curb the growing criticism against movie violence, the MPAA cut 9 minuets of footage that stayed cut until the first special edition in 2009 as Lionsgate release a remake. Then in 2019, Shout Factory released a special edition with both cuts and impressively cleaned up footage.

Following the disappointing fan reception of A New Beginning, Paramount decided to bring back the hockey masked Jason Voorhees in 1986's Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI. Directed by Tom McLoughlin, this entry tried to shock (literally) new life into the Jason mythos with campy self referential humor, a gothic aesthetic, music by shock rocker Alice Cooper and an undead Jason. 

This time we find Tommy Jarvis (Thom Mathews) inadvertently resurrecting Jason (CJ Graham). Now on the run from a hard as nails sheriff who thinks he is the killer and the sheriff's daughter (Jennifer Cooke) who seems to have a soft spot for possible killers, Tommy must correct the damage he's wrought as Jason embarks on a bloody rampage against counselors, cops, company execs and.....kids? 

 Despite being the lowest grossing of the series, Jason Lives has gone on to become one of the better loved titles of the Friday the 13th franchise. Join me and Tyler of All My Heroes Wear Masks as we discuss if a lightning bolt rejuvenates this film or if Tommy Jarvis should have left Jason dead and buried. 

Stay tuned after the initial show with a special interview with Part VI's Jason himself: CJ Graham!

Hello CinaCultists! We are back to pay tribute to the Dark Lord himself. On November 29th, 2020, the world lost Star Wars icon David Prowse who portrayed the physical embodiment of Darth Vader from 1977's STAR WARS to 1983's RETURN OF THE JEDI. Combined with the voice of James Earl Jones, Prowse brought to life one of cinema's greatest villains....and he never lost his love for that role nor the appreciation of his fans after his falling out with George Lucas and Lucasfilm. Join me and special guest Chris Irons of the Neozaz.com STAR WARS IN CHARACTER podcast as we discuss Prowse, Star Wars and the immortal legacy he left behind as Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith! Rest in peace Sir David Prowse. May the Force be with you...always!
