Episode 56 - The Necro Files (1997)
November 11, 2015 04:30 - 32 minutes - 18.6 MBIt's our one year anniversary! Woo. To make this episode extra special to us, we decided to watch the 1997 movie The Necro Files. Why is that special you ask? Our movie tonight was directed by Matt Jaissle, also the director of the first movie we covered Back From Hell (if you decide to listen be warned, it's rough)! We were lucky enough to interview Matt Jaissle about his work and you can find that episode here. Tom purchased this movie and waited for the right time to watch it and I think w...
Episode 55 - Night Trap (1992)
October 30, 2015 00:14 - 47 minutes - 27.1 MBOctober is just about over, Halloween is approaching and soon we will have nothing to do but transition into Christmas movies. We say goodbye to Horror Movie Month in a strange fashion with Erik's pick this week. Sega CD seems to come up a lot on this show as a reference of quality so Erik decided to choose the 1992 Sega CD release Night Trap. We know this is not a MOVIE but we viewed it as if it were one anyway. There are a lot of different versions of this on YouTube and you can see the on...
Episode 54 - May (2002) and The Loved Ones (2009)
October 28, 2015 00:19 - 1 hour - 44.9 MBWe are keeping up with Horror Movie Month by watching a DOOOOOUBLE FEEEEEATURE! We watched May and The Loved Ones, a couple of SCAAAAARY LAAAAAADIES! We had b-movie professional and our friend Fallon come on to help us dive deep in to the insanity of a woman. secondclasscinema.com @2ndClassPodcast
Episode 53 - Monster Squad (1987)
October 23, 2015 02:08 - 47 minutes - 26.9 MBIt's STILL Horror Movie Month here and we kept it going with another one of Brittany's picks, the 1987 movie Monster Squad. Special guest Dan comes on to help us discuss this childhood favorite! secondclasscinema.com @2ndClassPodcast
Episode 52 - The Kindred (1987)
October 16, 2015 00:50 - 50 minutes - 28.9 MBKeeping on with Horror Movie Month, we watched something a little more traditional in style, kind of. Tom picked the 1987 sci-fi/horror movie The Kindred! This was an interesting watch for us because we really had no clue what we were getting in to. Brandon came on to help us discuss this movie, and this is one of his personal favorites. He even brought an old Fangoria magazine that had an article about this movie. Where do you think this movie will measure on the Fuck scale? secondclassc...
Episode 51 - My Boyfriend's Back (1993)
October 12, 2015 23:27 - 45 minutes - 26.1 MBWe continue watching horror movies with Brittany's pick this month, the comedy/horror movie My Boyfriend's Back! We realize that for horror movie month we have been picking things that are horror second and something else first, but hey that's still ok, right? OH WELL! Special guest Tee comes on and helps us talk about this movie and we discuss whether or not this movie's original rating was warranted in contrast to some other movies from the same time period. We have some cool info about ...
Episode 50 - Wild Zero (1999)
October 07, 2015 01:59 - 35 minutes - 20.2 MBWe take in our 50th episode with Erik's pick for our horror movie adventure this month with the Japanese horror/comedy Wild Zero! Yes. We did in fact play along with the drinking game portion of this movie. Our friend Jimmy comes on to help us drink, discuss and debate. secondclasscinema.com @2ndClassPodcast
Episode 49 - Stitches (2012)
October 01, 2015 03:02 - 42 minutes - 24.3 MBOCTOBER IS HERE!!! That means horror movies and so this is Horror Movie Month... OBVIOUSLY! Tom picked the 2012 Irish slasher/clown movie Stitches to kick it off. We all pretty much went in to one side on this rating. What side do you think our ratings fell on? Listen up as Tyler comes on and helps us discuss this insane clown picture.
Episode 48 - The Neil Breen Spectacular!
September 23, 2015 03:25 - 1 hour - 60.8 MBOn this week's episode, we did something we've never done before.... We covered THREE movies. That's right. That means we sat through 3 movies in a row and then recorded this VERY long episode after. It was grueling. Aaron's back in town to discuss all three of Neil Breen's movies; Double Down (2005), I Am Here.... Now (2009) and Fateful Findings (2013). Listen up to find out how they all measured up during our ratings! This episode is a healthy 1 hour 45 minutes, so god bless you all.
Episode 47 - Lost After Dark (2014)
September 14, 2015 23:36 - 44 minutes - 25.6 MBThis week Brittany decided it's time to watch something new again and she picked the 2014 slasher Lost After Dark. Although this movie was new, it is stylized as being an 80s slasher, which totally works for us! Or did it work for us? Find out how this movie measures up on our newest episode! Also don't forget to check out our NEW website SecondClassCinema.com
Episode 46 - Thunder of Giant Serpent (1988)
September 08, 2015 02:49 - 39 minutes - 22.4 MBOn this week's podcast we discuss Erik's pick, the 1988 Godfrey Ho monster movie Thunder of Giant Serpent! This is Erik's second time picking a Godfrey Ho movie, the first being RoboVampire. We had our friend and fellow b-movie lover Fallon on to help get in to grave detail the deeper meanings of girls mounting snakes. It get's real analytical-like here on the Second Class Cinema this week so listen up and find out how it may have impacted our ratings! Make sure to check out our NEW websi...
Episode 45 - Blood Harvest (1987)
September 01, 2015 23:48 - 38 minutes - 22.1 MBGod Bless Tiny Tim! Seriously, because if it weren't for him this movie would have been more unbearable than it already was. That movie was the 1987 horror movie "Blood Harvest". This was Tom's pick because it missed getting watched "too many times". Yikes. Mr. Tim is a creepy clown in a small town where people are being hung upside down and... killed! Sounds promising right? Find out how we all rate this movie on this week's discussion!
Episode 44 - Blade of the Vampire (2005)
August 28, 2015 03:17 - 38 minutes - 22.2 MBOn this week's Second Class Cinema we finally got around to not only recording an episode, but watching a movie submitted to us! We watched 2005 horror/vampire movie Blade of the Vampire! Someone actually bought Blade of the Vampire for us to watch. Hard earned dollars. For us to watch this. Thanks for allowing us to watch this Scott! THANKS! We had an interesting time rating this one that's for sure. Check us out the NEW secondclasscinema.com
Episode 43 - Girl House (2015)
August 19, 2015 00:11 - 38 minutes - 22.3 MBOn this episode we watch something new for once! Brittany selected the 2015 slasher movie Girl House. We know what these types of movies can be capable of- for better OR worse- so either way we would've had something to talk about. What do you think we'd rate a movie like this and what would you rate it yourself? Let us know! @2ndClassPodcast on Twitter!
Episode 42 - Robowar (1988)
August 10, 2015 23:21 - 30 minutes - 17.5 MBWe watched Erik's pick this week and that was the 1988 movie Robowar! Predator meets RoboCop when a bunch of guys just wander around the jungle unloading their automatic weapons on things they think they see. Erik has a predilection towards "Robo" movies and I think we finally get it now. Listen up as this episode gets -GREASY-.
Episode 41 - Hollywood Cop (1987)
August 04, 2015 23:14 - 33 minutes - 19.2 MBOn this week's episode we watch Tom's pick, the 1987 action movie Hollywood Cop. This movie was directed by Amir Shervan, the same person that made Samurai Cop! You can expect a similar level of grime and crime in this awkwardly raunchy spectacle. This movie came out 4 years prior to Samurai Cop so we draw the parallels between the two and see how Amir Shervan differed from one movie to the other... If at all. IT'S NOT AWESOME!
Episode 40 - The Brood (1979)
July 27, 2015 23:10 - 28 minutes - 16.3 MBIt's Brittany's pick and she picked the 1979 horror movie The Brood, directed by David Cronenberg. Not quite sure we were expecting a very deep film today but hey what else can we expect from David Cronenberg? We certainly experienced some ups and downs with this AND we all gave it the same rating, find out how it measured up on the Fuck Scale!
Episode 39 - Laser Mission (1989)
July 24, 2015 00:14 - 29 minutes - 16.7 MBOn this episode we discuss Erik's pick, 1989's action movie Laser Mission. With Brandon Lee leading this one, it was difficult to dislike. We have some mixed reviews but also a lot of favorite parts. Enjoy this pretty short episode!
BONUS EPISODE 2 - Devil Story (1985)
July 20, 2015 03:42 - 26 minutes - 15.3 MBYES ANOTHER BONUS EPISODE! A day early as well! In this episode we "very quickly discussed" the 1985 French horror movie Devil Story. We went out in PUBLIC to watch this one though, that's right, The Arkham Film Society put on this show for us in Providence. Since we didn't have notes to take, nor did we have the immediate discussion on our side, we reduced this episode to a reaction to some of the major moments as well as rating it. This is the second AFS movie we've done on the show as we...
Episode 38 - The Rats (2001)
July 14, 2015 03:11 - 34 minutes - 19.8 MBIt was Tom's pick this week and he chose the 2001 movie The Rats. This movie had rats, rats, a guy that looked like a rat, more rats, and climaxes with a geyser of rats in a rec-center pool. THAT'S IT AND GOODNIGHT!
Episode 37 - Leprechaun: Origins (2014)
July 07, 2015 02:51 - 43 minutes - 25.1 MBIn this week's episode Brittany selected the 2014 horror movie Leprechaun: Origins! We find it hard to believe it's ACTUALLY a Leprechaun movie but hey, if he can go to space, he can be... this? Maybe, maybe not. We're certainly glad Kid's Movie Months is over because the "Fudge" rating just wouldn't have been enough.
Episode 36 - Nukie (1988)
June 29, 2015 23:55 - 39 minutes - 18.1 MBIt's the LAST day of Kid's Movie Month! YAAAAAY!!! We felt like wrapping the month up with something a little strange, and that was the 1988, sci-fi/thriller Nukie! Ok maybe it wasn't a "thriller" but Nukie IS terrifying. Jimmy came on to talk about this one with us to help figure out who Nukie is, why he's here, and why he just won't die. We go over whether or not this movie would be watchable for children today as well as a long detailed list of what we think Nukie is ACTUALLY made of. LIS...
Episode 35 - 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain (1998) & Surf Ninjas (1993)
June 23, 2015 00:29 - 1 hour - 30.7 MBIt's still Kid's Movie Month and we had ourselves a DOUBLE FEEEEATURE! It was ninja night here on Second Class Cinema as we watched both 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain and Surf Ninjas! Erik picked Surf Ninjas while we decided to pad out the ninja night with 3 Ninjas HNAMM as it's been requested by multiple people. Tyler decided to come on by (who is ultimately getting the blame for 3 Ninjas) to help us to discuss these movies. Which one of these is ultimately the best ninjas movie fo...
BONUS EPISODE 1 - Interview with director Matt Jaissle
June 18, 2015 03:46 - 31 minutes - 14.4 MBI know it's Kid's Movie Month and all here on Second Class Cinema but this opportunity was too good to pass up. We had Matt Jaissle, the director of Back From Hell, reach out to us wanting to talk about his movie! He had listened to our review of Back From Hell which was also our first episode (if you'd like to listen to it, enter at your own risk because it's a bit rough around the edges). Anyway, we had him give us a call and we chatted about his movie and his upcoming screening at The Al...
Episode 34 - Sidekicks (1992)
June 15, 2015 23:25 - 47 minutes - 22 MBIt's still Kid's Movie Months here and Tom chose the 1992 movie Sidekicks starring Johnathan Brandis and Chuck Norris!!! YAAAAAY!!! Special guest Eric comes on to help us with this childhood gem. Only by listening will you know how great Joe Piscopo really was in this movie. And sponsoring the Kid's Movie Month is none other than Fat Foot Films http://www.fatfootfilms.com! They're pretty awesome people over there so you should check out their new feature length comedy How I Dumped My Ex-Bo...
Episode 33 - Max Magician and the Legend of the Rings (2002)
June 09, 2015 00:48 - 48 minutes - 22.1 MBFor the second episode of Kid's Movie Month we had our friend Aaron come over with a movie and he brought the 2002 fantasy movie Max Magician and the Legend of the Rings! Not only did he bring that but he also came with a very big secret to let us in on as well, as a matter of fact we all let everyone in on a personal secret. We'll cover the movie and much, much more all on a great episode of Second Class Cinema. Sponsoring Kid's Movie Month (for no other reason than they are also giant chi...
Episode 32 - Stay Tuned (1992)
June 01, 2015 23:50 - 52 minutes - 24.2 MBIt's time to kick off Kid's Movie Month! YAAAAAAY!!! To kick it off, Brittany picked the 1992 kid's comedy Stay Tuned. Arguably not a b-movie but hey it wasn't profitable and not many people I've met have actually watched it so fudge off. We change it up this month and focus on 2 main questions; was the movie successful for kids at the time, and then would it be successful for kids today? Special guest Taryn helps us break this movie down. And out of respect for the youngsters, we empl...
Episode 31 - Counterforce (1988)
May 28, 2015 00:02 - 38 minutes - 17.5 MBOn this week's episode we discuss Erik's selection, the 1988 action movie Counterforce! Listen on as we're both confused and bewildered with this movie's motivations, plot, characters, and whatever the hell else is even in a movie.
Episode 30 - Death Force (1978)
May 21, 2015 00:49 - 34 minutes - 15.6 MBIn this episode Tom picked the 1978 blaxploitation revenge film Death Force. AKA Vengeance is Mine. Alternate title: Fighting Mad. Ratings were all over the place and almost entirely ruined by one specific moment of the movie. If you've seen this film you might know what it is. All of that and more as we discuss successes, failures and risks of this samurai vengeance story!
Episode 29 - Death Bed: The Bed That Eats (1977)
May 14, 2015 01:37 - 46 minutes - 21.5 MBOn this week's episode, Brittany selects the 1977 killer bed classic Death Bed: The Bed That Eats! I think the only way to truly understand it's meaning is to indulge in as many drugs as the creators of this film did. Find out what our ratings are of this absurd 70's horror movie about a bed eating people.
