The Greatest Movie EVER! Podcast
Reviewing only the finest films in the history of cinema. And robots, too.
Watch out for acid rain, because Creepozoids is the Greatest Movie EVER?
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host Jeremy Kaufmann (@whydoisay).
Review in a Nutshell: A low budget and unapologetic Aliens knock-off, Creepozoids, is a strange and inexplicable exercise in film-making that will leave your scratching your head.
Strap on your six-shooters, because Ghost Town (1988) is the Greatest Movie EVER?
Click on the Bluray cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Phillip.
Review in a Nutshell: Hampered by a troubled production within a collapsing studio, Ghost Town (1988) is a “Weird Western” horror movie with an identity crisis whose moments of clear potential sadly fall short. Cool poster, though.
Hold on to your alien weapons and your teenage dreams, because Laserblast is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Phillip (formerly known as Eeeper of Eeeper’s Choice).
Review in a Nutshell: A no-budget science fiction flick from the Seventies, Laserblast nonetheless has some outstanding pyrotechnics and a surprisingly meaty portrayal of alienation and suburban ennui.
Hang on to your soda cans, because Willy’s Wonderland is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie title or the Blu-ray cover above to download our review of the film, featuring Zoe of Friends From The Internet.
Review in a Nutshell: A horror-comedy starring Nicolas Cage as a silent protagonist murdering an abandoned theme park full of Satanic animatronics, Willy’s Wonderland is a fun little film whose obvious flaws are buoyed up by a great soundtrack and some quirky character acting.
Rev up the geospheres, because The Lawnmower Man is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the Bluray cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring “Celebrity Translator” Neil Nadelman.
Review in a Nutshell: A low-budget science fiction film with pioneering computer graphics and a burbling anxiety about the future abuses of virtual reality technologies that have as-yet failed to materialize, The Lawnmower Man bears no real resemblance to its source material, but the production design and performances are good despite a muddled narrative and inconsistent tone and pacing.
Get out your bag of treats, because Man’s Best Friend (1993) is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the Bluray cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Matt “Saint Mort” Kelly from Horror Movie Night.
Review in a Nutshell: A competently made film that can’t seem to pick a tone and stick with it, Man’s Best Friend (1993) is hampered as a horror film by some questionable characterization, tonal inconsistencies, and a canine antagonist that is entirely too adorable for his murderous role.
Hang on to your machetes, because Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the title or the movie poster above to download our review of the film, featuring Kyle “ChibiUFO” Foster.
Review in a Nutshell: A self-aware slasher made long before Scream cemented the conventions of subgenre, Jason Lives has a brisk pace and an irreverent sense of humor that make it both an interesting 80’s cultural artifact and an easy viewing experience.
Watch out for white kitty cats, because House (1977) is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the title or the Bluray cover above to download our review of the film, featuring Tom Pandich of Shonen Dump.
Review in a Nutshell: An extremely strange and relentlessly artsy “ghost and fantasy” movie, House (1977) is a unique cinematic experience and well worthy of critical consideration. It’s not so much scary as nightmarish, and everyone should watch it at least once, if only on a dare.
Light up your fireworks, because Silver Bullet is (probably not) the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the Bluray cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Matt “Saint Mort” Kelly of Horror Movie Night.
Review in a Nutshell: A werewolf movie plagued by odd directorial choices and studio interference, Silver Bullet nonetheless has strong performances from character actors such as Everett McGill that make it worth watching at least once.
Gas up the 1967 Chevy Impala, because Phantom Town (also known as Spooky Town) is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the VHS box cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.
Review in a Nutshell: As far as low budget, “Weird West” children’s films about a suburban family succumbing to the depredations of an unspeakable Lovecraftian eldritch horror go, Phantom Town isn’t bad. Okay, it’s actually pretty bad, but its bizarre premise alone makes it worth watching at least once.
