Hey Cannon Cruisers fans! This week, we’re diving into Cube (1997), a Canadian indie sci-fi thriller that traps seven strangers in a deadly maze of rooms rigged with lethal traps. Directed by Vincenzo Natali and made on a tiny $350,000 budget, this cult classic stands out for its tense atmosphere and unique premise.

We get into the film’s claustrophobic setting, sharp character dynamics, and the hidden meaning behind the characters’ prison-inspired names. From the clever use of numbers to the minimalist design, there’s a lot to unpack. We also talk about a key character shift that changes the tone and impacts the story. Tune in as we break down what makes Cube such a memorable entry in Canadian cinema.

Hey Cannon Cruisers fans! This week, we’re trudging through Grizzly 2: Revenge (2020), a film that spent 27 years in limbo before finally being released. Featuring blink-and-you’ll-miss-them early roles from George Clooney, Laura Dern, and Charlie Sheen, this bizarre sequel to the 1976 original blends horror with concert footage in a way that barely holds together.

We break down the film’s messy plot—vengeful grizzly, nature poachers, and a rock concert in the woods—while tackling its disjointed storytelling, odd editing, and pacing that makes the bear seem more supernatural than terrifying. A true cinematic train wreck, Grizzly 2 is proof that some movies should probably stay unfinished.

Hey Cannon Cruisers fans! This week, we’re diving into The Lake Michigan Monster (2018), an adventure comedy horror film that follows an alcoholic sea captain and his misfit crew on a mission to take down a mysterious lake monster. Made for just $7,000, this indie oddity is packed with absurd humour, wild storytelling, and a distinct low-budget charm.

We break down its black-and-white aesthetic, ambitious effects, and chaotic narrative, along with the surprisingly creative monster design. With nods to classic horror and a style that swings between clever and completely unhinged, this episode explores what makes The Lake Michigan Monster a true indie curiosity.
