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.

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.
