Podcasting After Dark - Cult Movies and TV Shows

Remote Control (1988) synopsis: “Aliens are trying to take over Earth using a supposed 1957 sci-fi movie to mind control Earthlings into killing each other. Can two video store clerks prevent this?”

Starring: Kevin Dillon, Deborah Goodrich, Christopher Wynne, and Jennifer Tilly
Director: Jeff Lieberman

Video stores, new wave style, and deranged psychopaths receiving signals from a VHS tape! Could there be a better crossover movie for $2 Late Fee and PAD? We don’t think so! Grace, Zak, and Corey celebrate Remote Control, discuss the similarities with another cult classic from the 80s, reminisce on the glory days of going to the video store, and so much more!

Look for Zak and Corey’s interview with writer/director Jeff Lieberman coming later this month!

Blue Sunshine (1977) synopsis: “A bizarre series of murders begins in Los Angeles, where people start going bald and then become homicidal maniacs. But could the blame rest on a particularly dangerous form of LSD called Blue Sunshine the murderers took ten years before?”

Starring: Zalman King, Deborah Winters, Mark Goddard, and Robert Walden
Director: Jeff Lieberman

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey kick off the Two Dollar Late Fee crossover month with Blue Sunshine!

Memory: The Origins of Alien (2019) synopsis: “An in-depth voyage into the sci-fi film Alien (1979) with the visionary filmmakers who created it. See how one of the most terrifying movies of all time came to life 40 years ago, inspired by ancient mythology and our universal fears.”

Starring: Dan O'Bannon, Diane O'Bannon, Ridley Scott, and Ben Mankiewicz
Director: Alexandre O. Philippe

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey review Memory: The Origins of Alien! A documentary film that focuses less on the technical side of things and more on the philosophical side. Memory dives into Dan O’Bannon’s cinematic influences, Greek influences, and artistic influences to examine why Alien made such an impact on the cultural zeitgeist.

Enter The Clones Of Bruce (2023) synopsis: “Enter the Clones of Bruce dives into the Bruce Lee exploitation craze, otherwise known as Bruceploitation.”

Starring: Bruce Le, Bruce Li, Ryong Keo, and Godfrey Ho
Director: David Gregory

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey kick off their month of cult film documentaries with Enter The Clones of Bruce Lee by Severin! The film focuses more on Bruce Lee’s untimely death and immediate legacy than the man himself, as it’s framed through the lens of the martial artists that tried to fill his shoes. It’s a great documentary and we hope everyone gets a chance to check it out!

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey breakdown and review the sci-fi classic, Aliens! Not only is this Corey’s favorite movie but it’s also our first two-parter. There’s just no way the boys can tackle a movie this long in one sitting, especially since they are covering the 1990 Special Edition version. That’s right, they’ll be talking about Ripley’s dead daughter, life on LV-426 before the Xenomorph infestation, and robot sentry guns! So, get on the ready line and enjoy the episode!
