Fun Box Monster Podcast #136 Trucks (1997)

Fun Box Monster Podcast ·

2022/02/18

This is a clever idea. Remake a movie that was already perfect but take away anything enjoyable. That's bold. And that's the Trucks promise. Trucks takes the explosions, insane, bold, cartoonish characters, high budget set pieces, gore, and incredible AC/DC soundtrack and replaces it with four broken down farm trucks and a gravel pit. Contrary to everything you might expect, this formula fails create an entertaining film. So grab all the Canadian film tax credits you can find, a potato truck from

Fun Box Monster Podcast #135 Death Spa (1988)

Fun Box Monster Podcast ·

2022/02/04

When I'm looking to get buff, the first question I ask any potential gym is, "Am I going to have to lift that little key on the machine that changes the weights?" Inevitably these losers tell me I will. I storm off in a huff and swear off exercise forever. But at Starbody Health Spa they've fixed this. All you have to do is carry around a credit card and swipe it in the machine, probably talk to the guy in the computer room on an imbedded mic. He puts you in a cue of people who need similar help and

Fun Box Monster Podcast #130 Alligator 2 : The Mutation

Fun Box Monster Podcast ·

2022/01/21

The usual way a filmmaker tends to approach a sequel is to take what was successful about the first movie and amp it up. Alien had one alien, Aliens has a pile of aliens. Right? This concept is turned on its head with Alligator 2, where the Alligator seems to be considerably smaller than an average alligator, and the movie is free from blood or any other exploitation elements. The plot plays very much like a double episode of an eighties action tv show, but just add an alligator. Corrupt land

When you check in with the Ghostkeeper, your blues don't stand a...GHOST of a chance! It's a non-stop laugh fest when three wacky snowmobiling funsters crash a cannibal family's secret mountain ski lodge! When the stodgy old cannibal Ghostkeeper tells them that she's closing the cannibal ski-lodge to make room for cannibal condos, those nuts from snowmobile house come up with a plan for a topless ski-contest that might just save the lodge!

Fun Box Monster Podcast #128 Bloody New Year (1987)

Fun Box Monster Podcast ·

2021/12/31

When an experimental aircraft using time altering technology as a cloaking device crashes into an island resort celebrating New Year's Eve in 1959, the explosion traps the partygoers in a never-ending Groundhog Day style party. We don't see that story though. We see a 1987 group of teens arriving on the island and almost able to see the time-ghosts wandering around. Unsurprisingly these teens get picked off one-by-one. Then they become time ghosts too I guess. I'm not really sure. This thing is

Fun Box Monster Podcast ·

2021/12/28

Were you too happy this holiday? Well we have a movie for you. Depressing, mean spirited, and not sure if it hates women or men worse. Definitely not a poorly made movie, just really not fun. It does have Clint Howard, so there's that. And FX by Screaming Mad George. That's pretty great. Anyway, don't blame us, we warned you.

Fun Box Monster Podcast #126 Jaws The Revenge

Fun Box Monster Podcast ·

2021/12/10

Jaws the Revenge is, at its heart, a story about family. Specifically, a family that is going to be eaten by a shark. Many years after the events of the first movie, Sheriff Brody has died. Of fear. As is the custom on Amity, he passed the job down to his son. Unfortunately, this son has worse luck fighting sharks than his old man, and seconds after encountering our old friend Jaws the Shark, he’s dead. Due to trauma, his mother develops a psychic shark-sense. She follows her other

Fun Box Monster Podcast #125 : Alligator (1980)

Fun Box Monster Podcast ·

2021/12/03

This film gave me such nostalgia for my childhood in Chicago. I remember my parents would take us kids out to Lou Malnati's Pizza for a bowl of delicious pizza. Of course, we'd have to leave the family dog at home so he wouldn't get dognapped by the hordes of evil pet store owners roaming Chicago's historic streets for animals to sell to corrupt biotech labs. We'd take a leisurely stroll down the Miracle Mile, averting our gaze from the piles of mutated research animals that were abandoned in the

Fun Box Monster Podcast #124 Scanner Cop (1994)

Fun Box Monster Podcast ·

2021/11/19

This is a story about those horrible unrepentant killers with dangerous powers, but now one of them is a Scanner. When little Sam is only a lad, he watches his Scanner father have a complete psychotic break and get gunned down by the police. Standard operation procedure kicks in here and the responding officer takes the kid home and raises him as his own. He's such a positive influence that the kid grows up to be a cop himself. Cut to years later, some escaped villains from a Superfriends episode

Fun Box Monster Podcast ·

2021/10/29

In this unofficial, pseudo-sequel to Hell Night we again have a co-ed legion of doofuses locked in a fake haunted house to earn the right to join a fraternal organization. But this time, they remembered that they were making a horror movie, so they added blood, nudity and Brad Dourif, all in enough quantity to more than make up for the previous film. Also… they had just watched Evil Dead 2 and would very much like you to know that they are aware of how badly they’re ripping it off, but

Fun Box Monster Podcast #122 : Hell Night (1981)

Fun Box Monster Podcast ·

2021/10/22

Wow. This slasher couldn't have been softer if it was made for the Disney Channel. Made by a porn director and there's no nudity. Made with had the star of the Exorcist but barely had a single effective scare. They even had the star of Rock and Roll High School, and yet I didn't see a single Ramone. The sad part is that if you watched a half-hour reel of the greatest hits of this movie, you'd think it was the best horror movie ever made. Sadly, the rest of the movie is just boring kids either

2021/10/08

Little Jamie has always hated Halloween. No matter how much her adopted family tries to ply her with multiple scooped ice cream, she won't budge on the matter. She's simply too busy with her schoolwork and photo collecting to think about Halloween. Rachel is seventeen year old about to give up on love. When a surprise visit from Jamie's unconventional uncle sets the family on their toes, he changes the way little Jamie looks at Halloween forever, and sets Rachel on a collision course with love

Fun Box Monster Podcast #119 Mirror Mirror (1990)

Fun Box Monster Podcast ·

2021/10/01

Stay with me here. There's this mirror, right? It's got a demon in it. The witches of Salem used to use it, but literally all it does is seduce people and ruin their lives. It doesn't explicitly grant wishes, but clearly there's a wishing element. You can't ask it for stuff or bad things happen. You certainly shouldn't have sex with the demon that lives in it. That's a big no-no. Our story begins when a copyright infringing version of Lydia Deetz from Beetlejuice moves into a house that's haunted by

2021/09/17

Honestly, any attempt to describe this movie would be pointless. You have to see it. Yes. It is very slow. But, Bill Paxton is in it. Sure, it centers around a bunch of obnoxious rich kids who are also very stupid. Counterpoint: Bill Paxton. It would further be correct to point out that if given any small amount of scrutiny the plot completely falls apart. To that I would say... Bill Paxton. So join Matt and Tristan as they talk about the most Bill Paxton horror movie allowed without a prescription,

2021/09/10

Sometimes when you make a funny podcast about schlocky movies, you run across a movie that is...kinda perfect? Maybe the most underrated slasher ever? I mean there's some silly stuff...a guy does pull a hundred pound fish out of the water as part of his wooing of a lady. That was fun. But goddammit, this movie ruled. Sorry I'm so late to the party on this. Join Matt and Tristan as they have very little to complain about in a movie that I still can't believe I had never seen until now, Just Before

Hail, hail to the college days with the Fun Box Podcast. This week we're talking 1989's Rush Week. When a young journalism student notices co-eds vanishing, she becomes determined to unmask the killer, but long the way, I think she's going to unmask some laughs too.

A young student named Beverly has been given the opportunity of a lifetime. She's being invited to hang out in the woods of Serbia with classmates who absolutely loathe her and bully her ever chance they get. Once there she gets to sleep in a shack with no walls, and learn about her own heritage...which she clearly despises, plus she's going to marry the devil! All for only eight hundred bucks!?!
