It’s October, so that means it’s time for our “Shocktober” series, where we cover movies that go bump in the night! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt are joined by one of the hosts of the Mystery Movie Madness podcast, K-Tron, to discuss Fred Dekker and Shane Black’s unofficial prequel to Universal’s Dark Universe, 1987’s The Monster Squad!

A surprisingly cool middle schooler wearing loafers and smoking! Incredible creature FX from Stan Winston! Classic horror vibes that showcase the glory of unofficial versions of the Universal Monsters! 12 year old boys endangering their sisters because they’re insecure about their masculinity! A 2,000 year old dead guy walking around on his own! A dog somehow sneaking into a (really cool) tree house! A deeply-80s music montage and end-credits theme song! The origin of classic horror movie references such as “Wolfman's got nards!” and “Stephen King Rules!” Frankenstein's Monster being a bro! Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite! Rooftop Burger King! A shockingly-petty immortal screaming at children and spitefully destroying their property! A fun horror romp with a great concept that plays out like a slightly-more-adult Amblin movie! Were you a The Goonies kid, or a The Monster Squad kid?!

In addition, the gang shares some brief spoiler-free reviews of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, 1962’s Tales of Terror, Terrifier 3, Smile 2, and Timo Tjahjanto’s newest gory action-masterpiece, The Shadow Strays!

In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss David Cronenberg’s 1986 exploration of disease and aging via science-gone-wrong, The Fly!

A medicine cabinet full of body parts! Horny gymnastics! Seducing women by showing off your Telepod collection! Science making Jeff Goldblum even sexier than he already is! Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis not only turning in two of their best performances, but also documenting their real-life relationship in an incredibly bizarre way! John Getz as an oddly-endearing scumbag! Someone saying the word “flesh” a lot! Love in the face of intense goopiness! Arm-wrestling that puts Over the Top to shame! David Cronenberg cameoing as a gynecologist! An incredible, but frustratingly-messy loft apartment! Unforgettable FX from Gremlins-designer Chris Walas! One of the few perfect remakes of the 1980s, that also captures the struggle between art and love, in a movie that’s effectively a dark, alternate take on Spider-Man! Be afraid, be very afraid!

In addition, Matt shares his spoiler-free thoughts on The Wild Robot, Alex does the same for I Saw the TV Glow, V/H/S/Beyond, and Castle Freak, while Tim acknowledges finally seeing Deadpool & Wolverine!

Cloud fondling! Pizza printers! A dive bar full of human bones! A rich person’s underground lair that includes a surgery igloo! Kinetic camera work and shocking violence! A great score! Logan Marshall-Green being surprisingly funny while showing off his incredible robot dance moves and making you wonder why he’s not a bigger star! Tech-based classism in an eerily-recognizable future! Body horror via technology! Themes of post-humanism in this tale of an A.I. reliant dystopia that could make a perfect triple feature with RoboCop and The Crow!

The potential dangers of mech-fighting as a spectator sport! Subtle hints about the poor state of education in a post-apocalyptic future! Rocket hands! Shockingly disturbing PG violence! A chef who specializes in robot recipes! Special effects that were almost *too* ambitious for their own good! A movie that not only seemingly influenced Pacific Rim and Edge of Tomorrow, but is also kinda Rocky IV with giant robots! Crash and burn!

A wonderful cast that includes Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Richard Attenborough, BD Wong, Wayne Knight, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jeff Goldblum originating an iconic internet meme! Incredible animatronics from Stan Winston, and pioneering VFX from Industrial Light & Magic! One of the greatest blockbusters of all time, full of thrills and moments of horror, that harkens back to one of Steven Spielberg’s first films and the original blockbuster, Jaws! Is The Fabelmans a spiritual prequel to Jurassic Park, showing the seductive nature of connection through spectacle, a lesson which John Hammond learns the hard way?!

In addition, Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on Longlegs!

It’s July, so that means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “Julygantic” series! Where we cover monster movies! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss Matt Reeves’ found footage kaiju nightmare, Cloverfield!

The best music, mobile phone technology, and “indie sleaze” fashion 2008 had to offer! A strong cast of actors who were fairly unknown at the time, including Lizzy Caplan, Odette Annable, and T.J. Miller! A brisk pace with efficient storytelling and situational character development! A kaiju movie shot entirely from the POV of everyday people! A legitimately good-looking and effective found footage movie, with believable and well-integrated VFX, that’s full of surprises and scares!

It’s June, so that means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “Junesis” series! Where we cover movies based on/revolving around video games! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt are joined by artist and friend Chrissy Kurpeski to discuss Edward Furlong’s unfortunate run-in with a fictional video game, 1994’s Brainscan!

A fantastic concept with mixed results! Excessive milk drinking! A lovable musical motif that works no matter how often it’s overused! A very non-slashery slasher with a script from the guy who wrote Se7en! Potentially the most oddly “romantic” portrayal of voyeurism since Body Double! An entertaining cast that includes Edward Furlong being himself, a charmingly-sleepy Frank Langella, and T. Ryder Smith as the confusingly-likable gothic punk harbinger of digital doom, The Trickster! A 90s time capsule that examines the demonization of media, the growing obsession with video games, and the early stages of the internet! A movie that’s not only a great double feature pairing with 1986’s Trick or Treat, but also seems to suggest that violent video games are merely an escape from the true horrors of being a teenager!

In addition, Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on the newest entry in one of his favorite movie series, Bad Boys: Ride or Die!

It’s June, so that means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “Junesis” series! Where we cover movies based on/revolving around video games! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt are joined by comic book artist/writer Tony Sedani (Return to Rander, Skin Deep), to discuss Paul W.S. Anderson’s first journey into the world of video game adaptations, 1995’s Mortal Kombat!

Endearingly dated VFX! A lovably awkward-looking four-armed monster man with back problems! A delicious turkey dinner being heartlessly discarded! Surprisingly faithful character designs! An unexplained cybernetic eye! More high kicks than you can count! A committed cast that includes Robin Shou, Bridgette Wilson, Linden Ashby, Trevor Goddard, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, and a wonderfully-miscast Christopher Lambert! An iconic EDM soundtrack that not only influenced future Mortal Kombat games, but possibly also The Matrix and 1998’s Blade! An enjoyably sincere and campy movie with vibrant colors and impressive sets that looks shockingly expensive by modern standards, which despite its watered down gore, may also be one of the most faithful and successful video game adaptations of all time!

In addition, everyone shares their spoiler-free thoughts on Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, while Tony talks about In A Violent Nature, and Alex discusses the remarkably bizarre 1999 rom-com, Never Been Kissed!
