Sci-Fi Malady

This month, courtesy of the Ragemaster, we are reviewing low budget knockoffs of major science fictions properties made in Turkey. Get ready for bad, horrible, terrible films. Thanks Rage!

What do you do if you want a horror film with disturbing imagery and a sci-fi film that carries a significant meaning? Thanks to Videodrome, you can have both in one film. We are finishing off horror month with a sci-fi tale that introduces us to the unbridled debauchery of media influence in our lives and how it can control or destroy us.

Krusty The Klown’s version, not Sinatra’s.

Send in, the Klowns. Those murder happy Klowns. Send in those space-bound and homicidal schmaltz, by the bowlful. Klowns. Send in, the killer Klowns. Sci-fi Malady reviews them heeeeeeeeere!

We are joined by our friend Matt from Cosmic Anomaly Productions as we discuss TerrorVision. What is Cosmic Anomaly Productions you ask? It is fan produced audio play adapted from the Darth Krayt saga done by DarkHorse Comics. Ragemaster might also be involved. So, our friend Matt joins us to breakdown the awesome 1980’s sci-fi horror film Terrorvision. It is slapstick, gruesome, over the top and full of shall we say adult themes.

It is our favorite time of year, Horror Month, or as Ethan calls it, Streetwalker Month. All this month we review great or not so great, or just plan terrible sci-fi horror, and make sure we enunciate really well.

What happens when you mix GM seatbelts on a spaceship, Roger Corman, a violating space slug, and Freddy Kruegger all in space? Today we find out with our kick off episode Galaxy of Terror.

Today’s episode, according to Scott, is about a deadbeat dad, a mother chasing her loopy kid, and a Frenchmen trying to contact aliens through a game of Simon. What makes this possible is that the US military has decided to let their D-listers take over guarding this ultra-important mission to make contact and get back missing persons, allegedly abducted by aliens. Despite there being an actual story arc with a plot that one can track on a traditional plot arc, Scott will insist it is an Abrams style mystery box with no answers or discernable plot. Luckily, our friend Ethan from Age of Geek and Drive Back the Night podcasts, joins the crew to try to set Scott straight. Good luck Ethan, for when Scott’s confused, he’s confused.
