Cinema Shock

Hey, we're all in quarantine but that doesn't mean we have to stop watching movies together.

This past Sunday, the Psychotronic Film Society Podcast hosted a Virtual Movie Night where we all watched Glenn Danzig's VEROTIKA together.

Afterwards, Justin & Gary hopped on the internet and gave a short review of the film, presented here in its entirety, raw and unedited!

This was recorded via Zoom so you'll have to excuse the quality of the audio. We also streamed this review live on Instagram and will be posting a video of our Zoom session on our YouTube channel.

Be sure to follow us on social media to be alerted to any future live streams and Virtual Movie Nights.

It's WrestleMania season! And although WrestleMania is going to be a bit weird this year thanks to the coronavirus, we're still celebrating the season with a look at a double feature of wrestling-centric cult flicks!

This week, we're taking a look at the first film to be produced by the World Wrestling Federation and one that feature's Hulk Hogan in his first lead role, 1989's NO HOLDS BARRED!

We're gonna talk a bit about the making of this so-bad-it's-good classic and also talk about how Hulk Hogan's wrestling career lead to his feature film career

Here's the Hulk Hogan & Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake vs. Zeus & "Macho Man" Randy Savage from SummerSlam 1989 that we mention in the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clXEWPfct_o

For this four part series, we're going to be taking a look at One Hit Wonders, films by directors who have only directed and released a single film, or at least only a single film that could be considered a "hit."

Last week, we discussed the sole directorial effort from acclaimed actor Charles Laughton, a tale of murder and religious zealotry. This week, we're taking a look at the feature film directing debut of acclaimed actor Bill Paxton, another tale of murder and religious zealotry (and one that was very much inspired by Laughton's film): FRAILTY.

Three and a half decades after the release of MAD MAX, director George Miller returned to the franchise that put him on the map with MAD MAX: FURY ROAD.

This time around, Tom Hardy steps into the role of Max, replacing original star Mel Gibson, in a film that many called one of the greatest action films of all time, one of the greatest films of 2015 and one of the greatest films of the 2010s. But its journey to the big screen was a long one, spanning nearly 25 years and many, many setbacks.

This week, we're traveling back four decades to celebrate the anniversary of the release of the film that created the post-apocalyptic film as we know it, George Miller's seminal Ozploitation action thriller MAD MAX!

Starring a young Mel Gibson as a police officer in a dystopian Australian outback who's on a roaring rampage of revenge, MAD MAX made a star of its lead and put its director on the A-list.

Welcome to Phase 2 of the Psychotronic Film Society Podcast!

We've been teasing this for the last two weeks, but with this episode, and going forward, we're renewing our focus on Psychotronic films and on the books that inspired this podcast to begin with, The Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film and The Psychotronic Video Guide by Michael J. Weldon.

Over the course of doing this podcast, we've started to realize that many film fans are not familiar with Mr. Weldon or his writing, so we thought the proper way to launch this new phase of the podcast would be to give a little background on our inspiration, so we're dedicating this entire episode to Weldon's work and his legacy.

We'll also take some time to discuss how we plan to continue his work here on the podcast and how we hope to honor his legacy going forward.

Visit our website at www.psychotronicfilmsociety.com. There you'll find all of our past episodes and our full list of Psychotronic Hall of Famers!
