This week, we're diving headfirst into a true 80s cult classic that has sparked some serious debate behind the scenes: Paul Verhoeven's RoboCop (1987)!

Join us as we break down this gritty, satirical sci-fi action film set in a near-future, crime-ridden Detroit. The plot follows the brutal murder of honest police officer Alex Murphy, who is then resurrected by the Omni Consumer Products (OCP) corporation as RoboCop, a cyborg law enforcer. As RoboCop dispenses justice with extreme prejudice, fragments of his past life begin to haunt him, leading him on a path of revenge against those who took his humanity.

Expect our usual deep dive into the film's themes, iconic moments, and its lasting legacy. However, we have to address the elephant in the room: our very own Marc is adamant that this movie does not qualify to be featured on our show, arguing that it's simply not a horror movie. Is he right? Or does the sheer body horror, dystopian dread, and visceral violence push RoboCop into a genre it might not initially claim? Tune in to hear our full discussion and decide for yourself!

Get ready for a trip down memory lane that's funnier than it has any right to be! In this episode, we're diving deep into the absolute comedic chaos that is Scary Movie (2000). More than just a horror parody, this film is a vibrant, hilarious time capsule, perfectly encapsulating the late 90s and early 2000s humor, pop culture, and cinematic landscape.

From its relentless send-ups of iconic horror flicks like Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and even The Matrix, to its rapid-fire gags referencing everything from "Whassup?!" to The Sixth Sense, Scary Movie is a masterclass in turn-of-the-millennium satire. We'll be breaking down what made this movie such a massive hit, why its humour still largely holds up (with a few cringe-worthy exceptions, of course!), and how it perfectly reflects the era it was made in.

Join us as we revisit the iconic characters, the unforgettable spoofs, and the sheer audacity of a film that dared to be so ridiculously funny. Whether you're a long-time fan or curious about the origins of modern parody films, this review will have you laughing and reminiscing about a truly unique period in cinematic comedy.

👻🌈 Get ready for some seriously unhinged fun! In this episode, we're diving headfirst into the delightfully campy French horror-comedy, Poltergay (2006).

Join us as we dissect the plot – three friends buy a haunted disco, only to discover the ghosts are all fabulous gay men who died in a foam machine incident in the 60s, and now they need help finding peace!

We're joined by two incredible guests: Jim from Jim's Retro Emporium and Jay from The Girl and The Gay Podcast.

Fair warning: this episode goes completely off the rails from start to finish and is laugh-out-loud funny. You won't want to miss it! #Poltergay
