Midnight Flix

It's that special time of year again: you guessed it! Our annual Flixtober series is now in full swing. This year, we are doing a rundown of some of our favorite sequels, but not just any sequels. This series is loosely titled "The Terrible Twos" as we are focusing specifically on the second installment in notable franchises.

We are kicking things off with a movie we have been meaning to talk about on the pod for quite some time: 1983's follow up to the legendary Hitchcock grandad slasher "Psycho". Norman gets busted from the nut house after 22 years and is just trying to be "normal Norman". But there are folks in the town of Fairvale that have machinations to put our rehabilitated protagonist back in the funny farm. What's a poor boy to do, mother?

This episodes featured band is legendary Italian death thrashers Schizo with the song "Manifold Hallucinations". If you want to drop us an email, send it to [email protected] and follow us on Instagram and TikTok @midnightflixpodcast.

Hey all! It's been a while, but we were on a mission to save the human race in the future and we had to figure out which woman we had to impregnate with the savior of the world here in the present! Needless to say, it's been very frustrating. You didn't think we'd be back, but...

On this episode of Midnight Flix, we step a little out of our intended mission statement and discuss a movie which is surely universally recognized as a classic: Jame's Cameron's sci-fi opus "The Terminator". We brought on Antonio Marquez from KCxHC stalwarts Spine to discuss the movie that has become synonymous with our collective fear of being put under the boot of our machine overlords.

Morris, You Fucks also makes an appearance on the pod.

This episode's featured band is Candy Apple with the track "World For Sale".

On this episode, we discuss Albert Pyun's 1989 Mad Max/Terminator knock -off flick, "Cyborg", featuring a fresh faced Belgian martial arts master, Jean-Claude Van Damme, on the cusp of taking the action cinema world by storm.

Playing the vagabond "slinger" Gibson Rickenbacker, our hero takes on a small army of other musically monickered dystopian raiders (lead by the psychotically imposing Fender Tremolo) in a mission to get a seemingly pointless cyborg to safety to transmit information that will re-civilize a plague ravaged post-apocalyptic world.

Our featured band for this episode is Prescott, AZ's Ugly with the track "In My Pocket" off their lastest album "Autograph".

Hard to believe it took this long, but we finally discuss our first Larry Cohen movie on the pod! We go back to 1982 and talk about Mr. Cohen's fantastic homage to the big monster movie: Q The Winged Serpent. It features a star-studded cast of top shelf performances by David Carradine, Richard Roundtree, and Michael Moriarity delivering a masterclass performance in method acting as Quinn the bumbling small time crook. And of course, the winged serpent itself, turning the unsuspecting denizens of New York into a three course meal, while nesting atop the Chrysler building.

Our featured band for this episode is New York's own filth blasters, Gravesend, with the track "Methods of Human Disposal".

On this episode of Midnight Flix, we discuss Michael Crichton's seminal sci-fi thriller about machines gone amok: that's right, its 1973's "Westworld". We ask questions such as: are geniuses actually really idiots? what is it like getting robot poontang? why have failsafe guns, but not failsafe dynamite? It's a real rip snorter of a ride, so you better tune in...or YUL be sorry.

This episodes featured band is Stomach with the song "Bleached". Drop us a line at [email protected] and follow us on Instagram @midnightflixpodcast

Strap a S.Q.U.I.D. on your dome and experience NYE 1999 through the perspective of 1995! That's right, we discussed Kathryn Bigelow's cyberpunk crime-thriller-mystery "Strange Days". And joining us to untangle this brain bender of a movie is our guest Patrick Fiorentino from Portland black death outfit, Drouth. It's a wild ride, so don't get too hooked on the Playback, jack.

This episode's band of the week is none other than Drouth with the track "An Apiarist". Be sure and follow us on Instagram  @midnightflixpodcast and TikTok @midnightflixpod. And drop us a line at [email protected].

Adam, John and Brandon perform brain surgery on Wes Craven's 1986 sci-fi slasher morbid rom-com, "Deadly Friend". Another movie we discuss that suffers from an identity crisis and begs many questions to explain its ludicrous plot. If only it was so easy to resurrect your dead girlfriend by implanting a microprocessor directly into their brain. 

This episode's band of the week is Milwaukee's Convert. Email us at [email protected] and follow our Instagram @midnightflixpodcast.

Hope you've trained for extensive training montages and conditioned your mullets, cause this week we are taking a spin kick to the eye patch of 1989's martial arts drama "Best of the Best". John's not so sure if this childhood favorite is a favorite anymore, but Adam comes away from this first time watch pleasantly surprised. Brandon is not impressed with Alex Grady's fathering skills, and we all definitely can't wrap our minds around what exactly makes this rag-tag bunch "The Best of the Best".

This episodes band of the week is Chicago's Sea of Shit. Drop us a line at [email protected] and follow our Instagram @midnightflixpodcast. 

On this week's episode we get sucked into the cyberpunk virtual reality vortex of John Flynn's 1994 sci-fi slasher "Brainscan". We discuss whether this movie is trying to be a movie for the kiddos, or one for the grown-ups, why aren't there more movies about haunted Toby Keith CD's, and whether The Trickster is just Drop Dead Fred on crack, amongst other things.

Our band of the week is Arizona's Woundvac.

On this episode we have the first of a series of guests for the new season: Orion Peter from the filthy merchants of perversion Ilsa joined us to discuss the movie that became the band's infamous namesake. Orion takes us through the sordid history of literature and exploitation cinema that led up to the creation of a film as outlandish as "Ilsa: She-Wolf Of The SS". This movie and episode is not for the squeamish.

Our band of the week is none other than Ilsa themselves with the track "Shibboleth".
