The weather's getting nice - let's head to summer camp! We somehow find our way into Jumanji, Magic Johnson, and a large amount of Davids in this one. Grab your can of mixed vegetables and come on down!

'The dust and the screaming
The yuppies networking'

Today we venture into the world of Patrick Bateman - business cards, pop music, thousands of crunches, and oh so much blood. It's American Psycho time!

We're looking at a real gem of cinema here as we ride a true roller coaster of emotions thanks to the ill-fated, Hanna-Barbera produced, KISS vehicle: Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park.

'... and how about the time we were the hard-rocking quartet of Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley, and the bat?'

Hi all,

In light of allegations of abuse recently made public about Richard Stanley, director of Color Out Of Space, we don’t feel it’s appropriate to put any more of a spotlight on that film and are wrapping up this season of Cage Match as is. We unequivocally believe and support Scarlett Amaris and survivors of domestic abuse everywhere. We urge you to look into the groups and organizations fighting domestic abuse if your community and support them in any way you can.

In place of our usual programming, here are a few friends we recommend you check out: 

Huge thanks to our amazing friends Gerry and Jon for making Cage Match possible. Find Gerry on twitter @d_apollo and catch Jon as co-host of the podcast Damn That Television. 

For more movie talk, check out For Her Consideration - each episode sees our friends Tim and Cassidy watching through past years’ best picture noms and judging the Academy’s decision. 

Story Chat Radio is by our friends Carly and Jeni, professional editors, who look at a different film each episode to see how you can use its strengths to improve your own writing. It's great stuff even if you’re not a writer!

We’ll be back with our regular programming on April First.
