Cult Movie Cantina Episode 501: Dreamscape (1984)


Listen Later

The Cult Movie Cantina is back! 🍹 We’re kicking off with Dreamscape (1984) — the Dennis Quaid sci-fi/horror classic that brought dream warriors to the screen before Freddy Krueger and A Nightmare on Elm Street.

This movie has it all:

  • Nuclear Cold War paranoia ☢️

  • Claymation snake-men 🐍

  • Government conspiracies and psychic assassins 🕵️

  • Christopher Plummer scheming, Max von Sydow mentoring, and Eddie Albert as the President 🇺🇸

  • Kate Capshaw (yes, Spielberg’s wife from Temple of Doom)

  • And Dennis Quaid fighting David Patrick Kelly (a.k.a. “Warriors, come out to play!”) in dreamland

    It’s 80s sci-fi horror at its weirdest — part political thriller, part nightmare fuel, part cult movie fever dream.

    🎧 If you love cult classics, 80s horror, retro sci-fi, Stephen King–era vibes, and deep dives into forgotten gems, this episode is packed for you.
