Cinema Psychos Movie Reviews

Let's be real: The Wizard is a feature-length Nintendo ad. But is that the ONLY reason we still love this 1989 classic? We're diving headfirst into the 80s propaganda machine to find out! Join us as we break down the insane product placement, the CONFIRMED chip shortage conspiracy, and why no kid ever actually gave a damn about their Double Dragon score. We're talking Fred Savage, Christian Slater, Beau Bridges, the Power Glove, and that legendary first public reveal of Super Mario Bros. 3. Sure, there's heart buried in that little lunchbox, but was it enough to save this movie from its own ridiculousness. Was The Wizard a good movie or a masterpiece of marketing? What's your favorite moment? Let us know in the comments!

Is 1997's Mortal Kombat Annihilation the worst video game movie ever made? We're executing a fatality on Mortal Kombat Annihilation in this full episode movie review.

Was 1994's Street Fighter movie a glorious masterpiece or a total disaster? The answer is YES. In this episode, we defend our claim that it's the ultimate "so bad it's good" video game movie adaptation ever made. We're breaking down why this cinematic chaos works, focusing on the legendary, scene-chewing performance from Raul Julia as M. Bison, who famously took the role for his kids and elevated the entire film into a cult classic. We also dive into the infamous behind-the-scenes drama, including Jean-Claude Van Damme's reported $10,000-a-week cocaine habit that brought production to a halt. It's a fun, nostalgic trip back to a time when video game movies were wonderfully weird. Love it or hate it, you can't ignore the madness of Street Fighter!

This week, we’re diving into Stay Tuned (1992), the bizarre cult comedy that’s basically a 90s time capsule. From TV parodies like Wayne’s World and Diff’rent Strokes to giant satellite dishes and clunky graphics, this movie captures an era before smart phones and streaming when a 45 inch tv was considered "Big" and worthy of selling your soul to the devil. Joining us is special guest Kt Baldassaro (MovieRunTime on TikTok, What If I Don’t Like It? podcast) as we discuss why Stay Tuned’s rapid-fire skits, dark humor, and PG edginess couldn’t be made today—and why it remains a fascinating cultural artifact of pre-internet TV obsession. If you love nostalgic 90s movies, cult comedies, or just want a trip back to the analog age, this review is for you.

ZombieCon Vol. 1 is a wild indie zombie horror-comedy from director Kyle Valle, where a group of cosplaying friends accidentally unleash a zombie outbreak in Los Angeles after one of them makes a wish to eliminate every toxic jerk in the city. Featuring SNL’s Punkie Johnson as the heart of the group, the film blends geek culture, anime cosplay, and gory DIY effects with sharp commentary on fandom, bullying, and convention life.

28 Years Later (2025) marks a bold return to Danny Boyle and Alex Garland’s rage-infected world — but this time, the zombies are smarter, the stakes are higher, and the themes dig deeper into what it means to survive. In this episode of The Cinema Psycho Show, we break down the film’s post-apocalyptic setting, emotional core, and how it evolves the zombie genre with stars like Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes leading the way. We’re joined by horror filmmaker and ScreamBox Programming Director Tony Wash (The Rake, Skeletons in the Closet), who shares his insights on the genre and introduces his new horror trivia game show, Better Luck Than Chuck.

🌟 Help us shape future episodes by filling out our quick audience survey — https://forms.gle/kQ65Q64fPVkBB7aa8 Planet of the Apes (1968) isn’t just a sci-fi classic — it’s a chilling reflection of humanity’s worst tendencies. Directed by Franklin J. Schaffner and starring Charlton Heston, Roddy McDowall, Kim Hunter, and Maurice Evans, the film offers a grim warning about power, dehumanization, and the self-destructive path of civilization. We explore the social commentary embedded in Michael Wilson and Rod Serling’s screenplay, the groundbreaking special effects by John Chambers, and why the story’s themes of class, race, and nuclear paranoia still resonate today. From its iconic twist ending at the Statue of Liberty to Heston’s unforgettable performance, we break down why Planet of the Apes remains essential viewing for fans of science fiction and dystopian cinema.

Think you’ve seen every kind of vampire movie? Think again. In this episode, we dive deep into Sinners — the genre-defying horror drama directed by Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan in a dual role as Smoke and Stack. Blending supernatural lore, Southern Gothic vibes, and powerful cultural commentary, Sinners isn’t just a vampire flick — it’s a bold exploration of race, religion, and romance. We’re joined by returning guest and vampire film aficionado Jordan The Grey Witch who helps us unpack the film’s unexpected love stories, its themes of belief systems, and that wild third-act twist.

We dig into childhood nostalgia, River Phoenix’s breakout role, and why this forgotten gem deserves more love despite the weird alien flirtation.

In this episode of The Cinema Psychos Show, we’re joined by Pittsburgh filmmakers Aero Rae and Jake Hecht to unpack the chaos that is Final Destination: Bloodlines. From MRI-induced body horror to Tony Todd’s emotional farewell, we dissect how this sixth entry turns death into a Rube Goldberg cartoon — and why we might secretly love it. We dive into the franchise’s tone shift, the absurd kill setups (yes, the lawnmower and the exploding piercings), and whether this over-the-top sequel actually earns its place as one of the highest-grossing Final Destination films ever. Is Bloodlines a smart-dumb horror gem or just entertaining slop? Let’s get into it. NEWSLETTER and UNCUT REELS!!!!!

What makes Heretic (2024) one of A24’s most divisive horror films to date? In this movie review, we dive into a slow-burn thriller where Hugh Grant channels cold charisma as a philosophical villain challenging everything you believe — literally. Directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods (A Quiet Place), the film traps two young Mormon missionaries (Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East) in a psychological mind game that unpacks faith, control, and the seductive power of certainty. Buckle up — this one’s going to stir up some serious spiritual discomfort. NEWSLETTER and UNCUT REELS!!!!!

The twist wasn’t the only betrayal… In this episode of the Cinema Psycho Show, we dig into The Village (2004), the film that marks the moment M. Night Shyamalan may have officially turned on his audience. With a nonsensical twist, stilted dialogue, and characters that act like NPCs in a period drama fever dream, The Village feels less like a film and more like M. Night yelling “You expected brilliance? Here’s a blind girl in the woods.” We dive into: This isn’t just a review — it’s a roast with receipts.

What happens when a devoted fan becomes your worst nightmare? Misery (1990) isn’t just a psychological thriller — it’s a terrifyingly accurate portrait of toxic fandom, long before the age of Twitter, TikTok, and Reddit backlash. In this episode of the Cinema Psychos Show, we dive deep into Rob Reiner’s chilling adaptation of Stephen King’s novel, breaking down why Annie Wilkes might be the most disturbingly realistic villain in horror movie history. We explore the real-life inspiration behind Misery, including King’s own battle with addiction and fame, and how the film eerily predicted modern fan entitlement. From Kathy Bates’ Oscar-winning performance to James Caan’s quiet brilliance, this movie packs emotional trauma, sharp social commentary, and one of the most infamous horror scenes of all time — the hobbling. We also unpack how Misery fits into the legacy of Stephen King adaptations, why horror grounded in reality hits harder than supernatural scares, and what this film has to say about celebrity culture in 2024.

Sometimes....Dead is Better This week, we are joined by returning guest, Anastasia Elfman to dig up the horror of Pet Sematary (1989), the unsettling Stephen King adaptation directed by Mary Lambert and starring Dale Midkiff, Denise Crosby, Fred Gwynne, and a murderous toddler you’ll never forget. They unpack what makes this film so brutally effective—especially for parents—while roasting Louis Creed for being the world’s worst doctor, husband, and homeowner. From zombie cats to Wendigo lore and that unforgettable Zelda nightmare fuel, we’re diving deep into grief, guilt, and gore. Plus, a few rants about embalming logistics, 80s parenting fails, and the movie's weirdly psychic side characters.

The master of horror himself, Stephen King, steps behind the camera in 1986’s “Maximum Overdrive.” A movie where the only thing that is frightening is the behind the scenes terror caused by an unhinged writer/director amidst one of their worst bouts of substance abuse. Master of Horror he may be, but King’s tale of sentient electronics and trucks (but not cars) is one of the most boring entries into his catalog of terror. But what is it that makes this movie so terrible? Join us with special guest, Dustin Goes to Hollywood from The Silver Linings Playlist Podcast as we rev up our engines to tackle Maximum Overdrive!

This week we are kicking off Stephen King month with his very first novel and his very first film adaptation! 1976’s Carrie directed by Brian DePalma and starring Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie. And back with us again is our good friend and collaborator, Anastasia Elfman! For those of us who were bullied in high school, Carrie hits home illustrating how cruel and how much of a nightmare high school can be for those of us who are different and can feel like a bit of a revenge fantasy for the “weird kid”. But what is it about this tale of teenaged angst that has led us to not only still talk about it after nearly 50 years but that has led to 2 remakes and a sequel. We’ll find out today!
