Del Toro changed the rules of horror by humanizing the monster. Do you root for the creature or the humans?

Some movies hit so close to personal trauma that they completely change how you view a director's work.
Is Adaptation (2002) the greatest meta-film ever made, or did Charlie Kaufman just get too high on his own supply? We’re debating it on the new episode.
We're celebrating Brian's 41st birthday with a deep dive into Hellbound: Hellraiser II with special guest @robertbtaylor.bsky.social. It’s arguably the only sequel that truly expands on Barker’s vision. Do you agree, or do you have a soft spot for the later (very messy) sequels?
Here's a fun one! I guested on Pittsburgh's own @cinemapsychospod.bsky.social this week to talk about one of my favorite horror sequels of all time — Hellbound: Hellraiser II. Host Brian Cottington and I do a deep dive on Kirsty, Julia, the Cenobites, and the ending the movie SHOULD have had.

Revisiting I, Tonya (2017) for Sports Month. It’s wild how much of the Nancy Kerrigan story was just straight-up media-manufactured fiction. Does the film hold up as a commentary on the 24-hour news cycle? Catch our latest episode with KT Baldassaro. #moviereview
Did Spider-Man: Brand New Day actually save the MCU? Brian and I sat down for a bonus ep to debate why this one felt different—and why the Punisher eating chili is the highlight of the year.
Does James Gunn's 'Super' (2010) hold up? We sat down with Josh Axelrod from The Lindsay Theater to debate if this is a misunderstood dark comedy or just a problematic relic of the pre-MCU era.
Revisiting Fargo (1996) for this week’s pod. Still the absolute gold standard for dark comedy and tight screenwriting. Does the TruCoat scene hold up as the best 5 minutes of dialogue in the 90s? #Fargo #CoenBrothers #CinemaPsychos

Who else got the vibe that Obsession borrows a bit too much from the 1991 episode of Tales from the Crypt called “Loved to Death”?
Finally caught OBSESSION (2025) and it’s a masterclass in indie horror dread. Bear is an absolute disaster of a human, and that performance from Indi Navarrette? Give her all the awards. What did you think of the ending?
Spending 4th of July tackling Oliver Stone's 'Born on the 4th of July.' It’s the antithesis of a standard Independence Day flick. Does this movie hit differently in 2024, or is the propaganda message too on-the-nose? Let’s argue. #FilmTwitter #CinemaPsychos
Just recorded a deep dive on 'Born on the 4th of July' with Henry O'Brien. Hard to ignore how much this film feels like a prequel to the current American zeitgeist. Does it hold up as Oliver Stone's peak? #FilmTwitter
Born on the Fourth of July (1989) is Oliver Stone at his peak. We're dissecting the brilliant 5-act structure, Tom Cruise's career-best performance, and how the film's anti-war message feels like a prequel to our current political madness. Plus, guest Henry O'Brien joins us!
Did Dolph Lundgren have a line-item budget just for baby oil in 1987? Quite possibly. We're talking Cannon Films' MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE with Epic Film Guys! Frank Langella's Skeletor rules, Gwildor drools, and the time paradox at the end makes no sense. #FilmTwitter #HorrorPod
Old Jungle Saying...You never find the phantom, he finds you....Just like he has found our podcast. We're reviewing the 30 year old cult classic, The Phantom this week. Was this Billy Zane led film one of your favorites growing up?
