Movie Melt! Podcast - Psychotronic and Outsider Cinema episodes

October 24, 2025 S02E06 Sleepy Hollow High (2000) #216
For Hallweenus we venture into the black hole of early-2000s DTV — where a melodramatic group of mid-thirtysomething “teens” are haunted by a pajama-wearing Headless Horseman who looks like a Phish tourhead. Everything is spared in this bizarre attempt to cash in on Tim Burton’s hit… except their lives!
Sharpen your Excalibur sword and zip up those Dave Matthews pants — class is in session at Sleepy Hollow High!
Plus: listener feedback, a Halloween Battle of the Bands, and Heather unleashed!

Regional DIY SOV horror at its finest: BMX kids dig up a cursed gargoyle, a mullet brigade faces demonic puberty, and a new Movie Melt Saint ascends. Plus: we uncover what nobody else has about director Chuck Lang's secret Vegas empire. ALSO: Battle of the Bands and lost films from Down Under.

September 24, 2025 S02E04 Boxer's Omen (1983) #214
We hit the Shaw Brothers jackpot with the most insane film they ever produced — Kuei Chih-Hung’s The Boxer’s Omen (1983)! What starts as a simple boxing revenge flick spirals into flying severed heads, throat eels, Buddhist black magic battles, and crocodile strippers. Top-shelf mind-melting insanity.
PLUS: Battle of the Bands: Crocodile Edition, What We’ve Been Watching, and so much more!!

August 15, 2025 S02E02 Gimme an F (1984) #212
Movie Melt’s cheer squad is back on the megaphone for the booger-sugar-fueled camp comedy Gimme an ‘F’. Expect pom-poms, pee-pee-filled balloons, saucy Mad Max role-play, new wave cheerleaders, the Jan Hammer soundtrack, and enough dazzling dance routines to knock your pom-poms off.This criminally underseen gem’s got male cheerleaders breakdancing-in-wet-tightie-whities-while-doing-Gymkata-on-the-water-pipes — for a full five minutes — during a shower scene!! Give me a B! Give me an O! Give me an N-E-R! What’s that spell? BONE… errr, never mind!

July 31, 2025 S02E01 Vampiro: Warrior of the Night (1993) #211
A wrestler, a madman with a super-powered rubber glove, and a space princess with an Ewok sidekick walk into a neon-lit fever dream. What do they find? Chubby motorcycle luchadores, bald men with ponytails, and an El Santo movie tailor-made for the early ’90s.
This week, CDR beams with national pride as pleather-clad Canadian hero Vampiro sinks his fangs into the role he was genetically engineered to play: himself!

July 17, 2025 MM#210 Evil Toons (1992)
We’ve name-dropped him dozens of times… and yet this is our first actual Fred Olen Ray episode?! Unbelievable, but true. Carlo stays up way past his bedtime to tell us all about Evil Toons (1992)—a movie full of unkept promises. It definitely does have a haunted book, Monique Gabrielle, and 45 seconds of a bad scary wolf that’s animated though!
Plus: Gary Coleman news, Heather rearranging magnets on her fridge in an effort to not lose her mind, what we’ve been watching, and so much more!

July 04, 2025 MM#209 Traveling to Olympia (2001)
Too much gay crashed Matt’s hard drive (yes, another one!), and so our final 2025 Pride episode is dropping on the 4th of July. Fitting, because what’s more American than repressed senators dating twink heirs to a popcorn fortune?
Just like this week's movie: Traveling to Olympia (2001), a queer shot-on-video headscratcher set in the Pacific Northwest—the Wakanda for Gays, apparently. We follow Johnny, a traumatized twink with a duffel bag and one facial expression, as he washes dishes, processes trauma, and parties at gay cowboy bars—with beautiful musical interludes from the PNW greatest crooners. This is a weird one!

June 11, 2025 MM#208 Suroh: Alien Hitchhiker (1996)
Happy Pride! We get probed by Suroh: Alien Hitchhiker (1996)—the queer, trippy, E.T. sci-fi oddity about interdimensional lust, alien contact, and sexual awakening in the Arizona desert.
Plus: A gay Battle of the Bands, Auntie Boy (!), orgone energy, what we’ve been watching, and more!

May 27, 2025 MM#207 GETEVEN aka Champagne and Bullets (1993)
Possibly the greatest vanity project ever made... again! We’re revisiting GetEven (aka Champagne & Bullets, aka Road to Revenge)—a redux of Episode 3 where we first stumbled into one of the most tippy-top-shelf vanity projects in existence.
This episode’s a three-fer. It puts a temporary end to our evil "feel-bad" movie streak. It gives us a chance to revisit a film we love. And it continues our tribute to the patron saint of the podcast, Wings Hauser.
This one’s got heavy hitters—William Smith, Pamela Bryant, Wings—and at the center of it all, a man with an ego... err... dream, trial lawyer John Isaac De Hart III.
Plus: Battle of the Bands, what we’ve been watching, slick stuff, neat stuff, etc.!
