Schlock Treatment returns, and this week we celebrate in two special ways: First, with the great Therese Mahler (from WFMUs Depravity’s Rainbow) who joins us this week with her cinematic pick! Which spurs our second means of celebration with another musical! Hooray! Therese even managed to choose a musical that ties to the upcoming zombie-worshipping … Continue reading Treatment 119 – Jesus Christ Superstar →

Sometimes a movie is a bit like a computer generated household pet that waits until you are fatigued, unable to concentrate, bleary-eyed, a little bit gassy, and just hanging on for dear life to run at you on a dark night, leap 40 feet through the air, and crash headlong into your face in a … Continue reading Treatment 118 – Black Dog →

Is it the 80s? Is it the 90s? Is it a vehicle for a washed-up rocker? Or is it a shitty movie with a 5 minute cameo from a washed-up rocker who was doing the film-makers a favor by even appearing? Spellcaster Adam Ant makes his Schlock Treatment debut (lucky him) in this intensely schlocky … Continue reading Treatment 117 – Spellcaster →

It’s back to TV for us, as we revisit a second 80s action classic. This time instead of the charm of Richard Dean Anderson, we’re stuck with the gruff, unlikeable, and slightly rapey Jan Micheal Vincent. Airwolf Yep, it’s the show you probably thought was really cool as a kid. We cover the pilot film … Continue reading Treatment 116 – Airwolf →

Okay, so we slipped a bit last week. But don’t worry, because this week we are back on form (though minus one). And we jump back into the swing of things with a heaping helping of kid glurge in the shape of… Solarbabies! It’s a post-apocalyptic feel-good bit of cheese with a cast of thousands … Continue reading Treatment 115 – Solarbabies →

This week’s show is full of posturing, name-calling, tension, anger, and drama!! Oh, and we also cover a movie about a giant slime monster made of oil. Phantoms This one features the wonderful Peter O’Toole, and the slightly less wonderful Ben Affleck. Oh, forget it. What’s the point? I never wanted to be a podcaster … Continue reading Treatment 114 – Phantoms →

Coming off our high from Sleepaway Camp, we descend into the DTs of moviedom. And what could be more appropriate for coming down, than a horror/sci-fi/fantasy film that was so awful it needed seven directors? It’s so bad, that Doug ends up bowing out for this episode…that bastard! The Dungeonmaster Richard Moll makes his debut … Continue reading Treatment 113 – The Dungeonmaster →

This week we welcome special guest Maggie Serota, of the Low Times Podcast, to the show! And as our first ever female guest, Maggie certainly doesn’t pull any punches when she decided we should cover a film that’s practically a master-class in gender issues! Sleepaway Camp Yes, it’s probably one of the most infamous slasher … Continue reading Treatment 112 – Sleepaway Camp →

Does this episode hold the record for the longest film title we’ve ever covered? Does it hold the record for our longest episode ever? Do we ramble endlessly about this weird-ass movie? Do we sing it’s praises? Do we skewer it mercilessly for its faults? Meh. Little from column A, little from column B. The … Continue reading Treatment 111 – The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension →

This week we tackle yet another anthology film, and sadly it does entail a Stephen King writing credit. It’s another cat story…seems cats are his “pet” peeve! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! Ahem…anyway, sorry. As a consolation, we also welcome back Christopher Boerger for another guest appearance on this week’s show. Tales … Continue reading Treatment 110 – Tales from the Darkside:The Movie →
