Weird Science vs The Stepford Wives (1975)

This week the theme of the podcast is movies where men create women. First Wyatt and Gary use their computer to create a smoke show that has magical powers and bends to their every whim in Weird Science. Then, tackling misogyny in a very different way, we discuss 1975's The Stepford Wives where Joanna is forced by her husband to move away from her life in New York only to give up her very identity in this classic film.

Club Dread vs Jennifer's Body

 

This week on the podcast Box Office Battle does horror follow ups to the creator's most successful movie that also bombed. First a Jimmy Buffet knockoff has an island getaway where partiers get offed one by one in Broken Lizard's Club Dread. Then Diablo Cody wrote the tale of a teenage girl who gets sacrificed. She returns as a succubus who murders young men and antagonizes her best friend in Jennifer's Body.

Predator 2 vs. Brain Dead

This Bill Paxton themed episode of the podcast stars Danny Glover as a police chief who is tracking down an alien in the jungle of Los Angelos in the future year of 1997.  He discovers the first cinematic tie-ins to AVP, as well as the fact that he's too old for this shit.  That's right...1990's Predator 2.  Also, Bill Pullman stars along side Bill Paxton in a trippy Roger Corman movie about two brain surgeons.  One is employed by a wealthy corporation, the other lives off of grants.  But what happens when they team up and one of them begins to lose his grip on reality?  Brain Dead is what happens.  No matter who wins, Bill Paxton loses...or wins...I guess.
