Uncanny Cinema episodes

  • Escape to Victory (1981)

    In honor of the World Cup, we look at the lesser-known film Escape to Victory, featuring the Michael Caine/Sylvester Stallone matchup we always wanted, with both of them playing World War II soccer like we always dreamed.

    Panelists: Chris, David

    1 hr 16 min
  • Radio Flyer (1992)

    We look at Radio Flyer, the strange, dark, and often beautiful film that surely made for some awkward family movie nights in the '90s.

    Panelists: Jack, Eric, Doug

    2 hr 8 min
  • Psycho Goreman (2020)

    For our final Halloween entry of the year, we behold the Archduke of Nightmares himself, Psycho Goreman. We talk about the film's humor, bonkers practical effects, hunky boys, and more. Happy Halloween!

  • Island of Lost Souls (1932)

    For our next Halloween selection, we take a look at the classic but little-seen film Island of Lost Souls, a pre-code Dr. Moreau adaptation featuring Charles Laughton, monster men, and DEVO lyrics.

  • Exists (2014)

  • The Company of Wolves (1984)

    The Company of Wolves, based on the works of Angela Carter, is our focus for this Halloween entry, and we take stock of the sets, stellar practical effects, Dame Angela Lansbury, and some very good boys.

    Panelists: Jack, Colin G

    1 hr 42 min
  • The Keep (1983)

    Michael Mann's bizarre horror fantasy The Keep is the focus of our second Halloween episode of the year, a dreamlike and meandering film that somehow makes monsters and Nazis boring.

    1 hr 26 min
  • Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (2004)

    Greetings, travelers. We kick off spooky season with the comedic masterpiece Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, a short-lived British series that's garnered quite the cult following.

    Panelists: Ryan, Steve, Jack

    1 hr 28 min
  • Love on a Leash (2011)

    The "Dream Team" tackles our worst movie yet, and perhaps the worst movie ever, in 2011's Love on a Leash, a film Eric described as being "defiantly incompetent."
