October 12, 2017 Ep. 48 - BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935)
This week on the show, we begin our Halloween series with a look back at once of the first horror sequels: James Whale's classic THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935).
SYNOPSIS: Bride of Frankenstein begins where James Whale’s Frankenstein from 1931 ended. Dr. Frankenstein has not been killed as previously portrayed and now he wants to get away from the mad experiments. Yet when his wife is kidnapped by his creation, Frankenstein agrees to help him create a new monster, this time a woman.
We dive deep into the behind-the-scenes drama behind the making of the film, as well as give our two cents on whether or not it deserves a shot at going into the Psychotronic Hall of Fame!

October 05, 2017 Ep. 47- BLADE RUNNER (1982)
With the impending release of the its much anticipated sequel BLADE RUNNER 2049, it seemed like the perfect time to discuss Ridley Scott's difficult but hugely influential original film BLADE RUNNER.
SYNOPSIS: In the smog-choked dystopian Los Angeles of 2019, blade runner Rick Deckard is called out of retirement to terminate a quartet of replicants who have escaped to Earth seeking their creator for a way to extend their short life spans.
Note: If you're watching along, we're specifically discussing The Final Cut in this episode.
Does BLADE RUNNER deserve to go into the Psychotronic Hall of Fame?

September 28, 2017 Ep. 46 - REPO MAN (1984)
Last week saw the passing of film legend Harry Dean Stanton, so for this week's meeting of the Psychotronic Film Society, we're honoring the man by visiting one of his early starring roles, Alex Cox's 1984 film REPO MAN, co-starring Emilio Estevez.
SYNOPSIS: A down and out young punk gets a job working with a seasoned repo man, but what awaits him in his new career is a series of outlandish adventures revolving around aliens, the CIA, and a most wanted '64 Chevy.
Will REPO MAN make it into the Psychotronic Hall of Fame? We make our cases as we discuss the film and we also take a look at the stories behind the making of this cult classic.

Help us decide if ATTACK THE BLOCK is good enough to make it into the Psychotronic Hall of Fame!

September 14, 2017 Ep. 44 - THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (1974)
This week on the Psychotronic Film Society podcast, we pay tribute to the incomparable and criminally underrated Tobe Hooper and his classic 1974 horror film THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE.
SYNOPSIS: Five friends visiting their grandfather’s house in the country are hunted and terrorized by a chain-saw wielding killer and his family of grave-robbing cannibals.
THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE is undoubtedly one of the most influential horror films of all time. But does that make it a Psychotronic Hall of Famer?

September 12, 2017 Review - IT (2017)
Every now and then there's a new release that we feel just has to be discussed on the show. While it's too early to say whether or not it belongs in the Psychotronic Hall of Fame, after seeing IT, we couldn't help but run back to the studio to discuss it for you guys.
So here we are with our latest minisode, the Psychotronic Film Society's review of IT (2017)!

September 07, 2017 Ep. 43 - HELLRAISER (1987)
For this week's meeting of the Psychotronic Film Society, we're going back 30 years to 1987 to celebrate Clive Barker's horror classic HELLRAISER.
SYNOPSIS: Larry and his wife, Julia move into an old house and discover a hideous creature – the man’s half-brother, who is also the woman’s former lover – hiding upstairs. Having lost his earthly body to a trio of S&M demons, the Cenobites, Frank, is brought back into existence by a drop of blood on the floor. He soon forces his former mistress to bring him his necessary human sacrifices to complete his body… but the Cenobites won’t be happy about this.
Does the film hold up? Is Pinhead iconic enough to nudge HELLRAISER into the Psychotronic Hall of Fame?
We discuss the film and delve into the details behind its creation on this week's show and then we let YOU decide whether or not it makes it into the Hall of Fame!

August 31, 2017 Ep. 42 - THE FRIGHTENERS (1996)
For this week's meeting of the Psychotronic Film Society, we welcome special guest Fred Sims to the show to discuss Peter Jackson's 1996 film THE FRIGHTENERS!
SYNOPSIS: Once an architect, Frank Bannister now passes himself off as an exorcist of evil spirits. To bolster his facade, he claims his “special” gift is the result of a car accident that killed his wife. But what he does not count on is more people dying in the small town where he lives. As he tries to piece together the supernatural mystery of these killings, he falls in love with the wife of one of the victims and deals with a crazy FBI agent.
Should THE FRIGHTENERS be the first Peter Jackson film to make it into the Psychotronic Hall of Fame?
