Is The Phantom (1996) a secretly GREAT bad superhero movie, or just purple-spandex pulp trash? In this episode, we dive deep into Billy Zane's cult classic, The Phantom, and ask if it actually holds up in 2026.​ We break down the film's weird production history, its roots in classic pulp comics, and why Treat Williams' gloriously over-the-top Xander Drax performance might be one of the last great campy '90s villains.​ In this episode of Cinema Psychos Show, Brian and John cover:​ The Phantom as one of the earliest costumed superheroes and pulp icons How a Joe Dante spoof script morphed into a straight-faced '90s studio superhero movie Billy Zane's committed himbo-hero turn in purple spandex and that infamous skull cave "dead dad" dynamic Treat Williams chewing the scenery as Xander Drax, murder microscopes, magic skull lasers, and all The Phantom's place alongside Batman '89, The Shadow, The Rocketeer, and Batman & Robin in the '90s superhero boom Why this once-maligned flop now plays like cozy, Saturday-afternoon cult comfort cinema CHAPTERS: Introduction and Show Open [00:00] Why The Phantom Now? 30 Years Later [01:17] Movie Synopsis and Xander Drax Impressions [02:25] Personal Memories: Seeing It in Theaters [06:01] History of The Phantom and Development Drama [10:30] Plot Breakdown: Origin and Skull Cave [14:00] Introducing Diana Palmer and New York Intrigue [19:00] Plane Hijacking and Femme Fatale Fight [29:30] Skulls Unite: Museum Heist and Chase [35:00] Pirate Island Showdown and Skull Powers [43:00] Climax Explosions and Finale [49:00] Audience Reviews and Reactions [59:00] Final Thoughts and Plugs [01:18:00] Follow The Cinema Psychos Show on Socials ❤️‍🔥: https://discord.gg/7GZ9uuTJhttps://www.tiktok.com/@cinemapsychosshowhttps://www.instagram.com/cinemapsychospod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cinemapsychospodhttps://www.threads.net/@cinemapsychospod Listen to The Cinema Psychos Show on: https://rebrand.ly/0v6eenohttps://rebrand.ly/j5nrkp7 https://rebrand.ly/5x5hznghttps://rebrand.ly/picstv6 OR LISTEN ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCAST APP! https://cinemapsychosshow.com/follow MAIN TITLE: "Red Alert" AUTHOR: Jack Waldenmaier PUBLISHER: Music Bakery Publishing (BMI) WARNING: UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THE MUSIC CONTAINED IN THIS PRODUCTION IS SUBJECT TO CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) might be one of the most toothless horror sequels of the decade – and yes, this movie kinda sucks. In this episode of The Cinema Psycho Show, we dive into the messy lore dump, the bloodless PG‑13 kills, the bizarre FazFest setup, and why Toy Chica somehow ends up being the star of the show for all the wrong reasons. We also talk about: The opening Charlotte flashback, useless 80s parents, and the Marionette Abby's home and school life, plus the world's worst science teacher Mike as a guardian, generational trauma, and the total lack of therapy The "Call me Michael" reveal and whether this works at all if you're not deep into FNAF lore If you're a Five Nights at Freddy's fan, a horror nerd, or you just enjoy listening to two exhausted millennials suffer through bad IP movies so you don't have to, this one's for you.

Luc Besson finally made a Dracula movie in 2026… and somehow turned it into a boring, horny, perfume‑addled fever dream instead of a gothic horror classic. In this episode of The Cinema Psychos Show, Brian tears into Dracula (2026) and explains why this shiny new take on the Count feels more like a knockoff of better Dracula films than a bold reinvention. We break down everything that went wrong: Vlad accidentally killing his own wife, God apparently "rewarding" him with vampirism, the unhinged sex‑perfume subplot, cartoonish suicide jumps, rubbery CGI gargoyles, and a tone that ping‑pongs between tragic romance, goofy comedy, and Axe body spray commercial. Brian also digs into Caleb Landry Jones' off‑kilter Dracula, Christoph Waltz on autopilot, and a Danny Elfman score that deserves a much better movie. Along the way, we compare Besson's vision to Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula, modern Nosferatu takes, and other adaptations that actually respect the character, and ask the big question: what the hell happened to Luc Besson as a filmmaker? Plus, we dip into some wild online reviews from people who genuinely think this is the best Dracula in years. If you're a horror nerd, Dracula obsessive, or cult cinema sicko who loves hearing a beautiful mess get taken apart scene by scene, you're in the right madhouse. Follow The Cinema Psychos Show on your favorite podcast app so you never miss an episode, and hit us up on socials or by email to let us know: does Dracula (2026) suck as hard as Brian says… or are you one of the weirdos who actually loves it?

Author Brian Raftery joins us to explain how Silence of the Lambs didn't just give us a scary villain—it invented a whole new type. Before Hannibal Lecter, horror villains were mostly slashers in masks. Lecter changed the rules: he was clever, charming, and used his mind as a weapon. That's why this movie—and this character—still haunts us decades later. We break down what made Lecter different, why he's scarier than a guy with a knife, and how this film changed scary movies forever. Brian also shares secrets from his new book, Hannibal Lecter: A Life. 📘 Buy Hannibal Lecter: A Life: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Hannibal-Lecter/Brian-Raftery/9781668070581 CHAPTERS Introduction [00:00] Welcome to Cinema Psychos Show [00:45] First Experiences with Silence of the Lambs [08:38] Why Silence of the Lambs Endures [08:56] The Realism and Grounding of the Film [14:37] Buffalo Bill as the True Villain [19:21] The Terrifying Basement Scene [25:00] Development and Rights Issues [27:59] Favorite Scenes from the Film [37:13] The Book: Hannibal Lecter, A Life [44:16] Research and Writing Process [56:27] Horror vs Thriller Debate [01:04:03] Wrap-Up and Where to Find the Book [01:08:33] Follow The Cinema Psychos Show on Socials ❤️‍🔥: https://discord.gg/7GZ9uuTJhttps://www.tiktok.com/@cinemapsychosshowhttps://www.instagram.com/cinemapsychospod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cinemapsychospodhttps://www.threads.net/@cinemapsychospod Listen to The Cinema Psychos Show on: https://rebrand.ly/0v6eenohttps://rebrand.ly/j5nrkp7 https://rebrand.ly/5x5hznghttps://rebrand.ly/picstv6 OR LISTEN ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCAST APP! https://cinemapsychosshow.com/follow MAIN TITLE: "Red Alert" AUTHOR: Jack Waldenmaier PUBLISHER: Music Bakery Publishing (BMI) WARNING: UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THE MUSIC CONTAINED IN THIS PRODUCTION IS SUBJECT TO CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.

The legend is true. We watched the infamous 2003 bomb "Gigli" so you don't have to, and the reality is somehow worse than the reputation. Starring Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez at the peak of "Bennifer" mania, this Martin Brest-directed disaster is a baffling mix of mob thriller, offensive rom-com, and unintentional comedy. In this episode, we break down: The cringeworthy plot of a hitman trying to "convert" a lesbian mob enforcer (J.Lo). The controversial and poorly handled portrayal of an intellectually disabled character by Justin Bartha. How studio interference ruined the director's vision, creating a tonally insane mess. Whether this movie truly killed J.Lo's film career and ended Martin Brest's. The random, inexplicable cameos from Al Pacino and Christopher Walken. We answer the question: Is Gigli a so-bad-it's-good classic, or just a painful, offensive relic of 2003? The answer might surprise you (but probably not).

Was this movie unfairly maligned for being too real, or did it miss the mark? We explore its tone, social satire, and why it might be one of the most relevant films of the year. In this episode, we discuss: How this 2025 adaptation compares to the original Schwarzenegger film and its faithfulness to the Stephen King novella. The film's potent social satire and why its dystopian themes of class warfare and media manipulation feel "way too fucking real."
