Welcome to Brain Melt Cinema! A podcast where we look at cinema like architects that bridge the absurd with the arthouse and treat both with equal respect. The theme for episode three is two movies from the insanely fun genre of inanimate object horror. 

Very helpful genre list from user creo318
https://www.imdb.com/list/ls565353925/

We watch George Barry's Death Bed: The Bed That Eats (1977) and Michael Fischa's Death Spa (1988). A glimpse into poetic realism followed by a cross-genre possessed gym. We match each Brain Melt selection with a canonical arthouse favorite as well, and would love to hear if you agree or disagree with our choice. Excited for anyone who catches us early and can start to follow along!

A Someone's Favorite Production Podcast]]>6488falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/brain-melt-episode-two-deep-franchise-surprises--72333111https://boxd.it/df2Ns

Welcome to Brain Melt! A foster home for outsider art and the movies that make us fall in love with film. The theme for episode two is movies deep into an established franchise that come out of nowhere and blow us away.

We watch Producer Pierre David's Scanner Cop II: The Showdown and visionary director John Hyams' Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning. Listen as we dissect the wiggles, the scanpires, and JCVD in a sneaky surreliast masterpiece. We match each Brain Melt selection with a canonical arthouse favorite as well, and would love to hear if you agree or disagree with our choice. Excited for anyone who catches us early and can start to follow along!

Welcome! This podcast was birthed from a Letterboxd list that Bill created to map his journey through the wild and unpredictable world of outsider cinema. Movies that take big creative swings, on any budget, and often represent the true voice of an auteur who fought to keep their vision in place. 

In episode one we watch Doris Wishman's Night to Dismember and J.P. Simon's Pieces. Two true auteurs to kick off Brain Melt, both highly influential in their own way. We match each Brain Melt selection with a canonical arthouse favorite as well, and would love to hear if you agree or disagree with our choice. Excited for anyone who catches us early and can start to follow along!
