Snowtown

The Kulturecast ·

2017/01/16

True Crime Month continues with a look at Justin Kurzel's first cinematic foray that landed him the job directing Assassin's Creed, Snowtown. The film follows Jamie as he is drawn into the charismatic orbit of John Bunting, a homophobic vigilante looking to dole out justice to Australia's pedophiles and homosexuals. It's an emotional rollercoaster ride that doesn't let up and is hard to watch at times.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on Twitter at@KultureStach, Sean Liang at @Seannifer and

True Crime Month chugs along with a look at the meta-sequel to The Town that Dreaded Sundown which focuses on the return of the Phantom Killer to the sleepy town of Texarkana.

Super Mario Bros.

The Kulturecast ·

2016/12/13

We open up the vaults to bring you our thoughts on the original video game movie: Super Mario Bros. Recorded last year, Chris is joined by Zach and Oscar to analyze one of the most infamous films in Hollywood. Based off the video game of the same name, the film is a nonsensical mess featuring two of the most iconic characters in video game history, Mario and Luigi.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on Twitter at @KultureStach, Sean Liang at @Seannifer and Kulture Shocked at @KultureShocked.

Doom

The Kulturecast ·

2016/12/01

Chris and Sean begin Video Game Movie Month with a look at Doom, featuring the highest paid actor in Hollywood, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. It follows The Rock and his crew of space marines as they attempt to quell a demonic invasion in the science base on Mars. It's a generic homage to a better film with aliens and marines but nonetheless a big dumb time.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on Twitter at @KultureStach, Sean Liang at @Seannifer and Kulture Shocked at @KultureShocked.

Dragonheart

The Kulturecast ·

2016/11/28

Chris and Sean round out a very abbreviated Fantasy Movie Month with a look at that one dragon1 movie with Sean Connery: Dragonheart. The film stars Dennis Quaid as a disillusioned dragon hunter who must team with Draco, played by Sean Connery, to not only con unsuspecting towns out of their money but also take down a tyrant king. It's as high concept as fantasy films from the '90s get.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on Twitter at @KultureStach, Sean Liang at @Seannifer and Kulture Shocked

Halloween (2007)

The Kulturecast ·

2016/11/01

Chris is joined once again by Wovoka's Eric Kniss to round out Horrortober with a look at Rob Zombie's remake of the classic Halloween. The film takes a decidedly more Michael Myers centric approach to the film with tons more gore than the first film. It's gory, unique, and distinctly Rob Zombie.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on Twitter at @KultureStach, Sean Liang at @Seannifer and Kulture Shocked at @KultureShocked.

The Loved Ones

Chris and Sean continue Horrortober with a look at some truly delightful Australian torture porn The Loved Ones. The film follows Brent, a teenager who lost his father, as he is kidnapped, mutilated, and tortured by a crazy chick he turned down for prom. It's a mix of Sixteen Candles and Hostel with a decidedly Australian flair.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on Twitter at @KultureStach, Sean Liang at @Seannifer and Kulture Shocked at @KultureShocked.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

The Kulturecast ·

2016/10/04

Chris and Sean kick-off the third year of Horrortober with a look at a wholly unnecessary remake of a truly classic horror film, A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010). The film stars Jackie Earle Haley on the scarred serial killer, Freddy Krueger, as he torments, maims, and murders the teenagers of Elm Street. It's a remake that does little to build upon the original and in doing so does little to stand on its own. We also talk our picks for this week's Stream Police.As always, you can follow Chris

Godzilla (1998)

The Kulturecast ·

2016/10/01

Chris and Sean finish up Kaiju Movie Month with a look at the unfairly maligned first attempt at bringing Godzilla across the ocean, Godzilla (1998). The film stars Matthew Broderick in the leading role as Nick Tatopoulos, a worm scientist who is tasked with taking down the King of Monsters and his babies. It's a slice of the 90's as presented by the masters of disaster, Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on Twitter at @KultureStach, Sean Liang at @Seannifer and

Godzilla (2014)

The Kulturecast ·

2016/09/26

Chris and Sean return from a self-imposed hiatus talk about the penultimate film of Kaiju Movie Month, Godzilla (2014). The film is the first entry into the Godzilla/King Kong shared cinematic franchise and it introduces a newer, shorter Godzilla. It follows Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Bryan Cranston as they try to stop the MUTOs with the help of Godzilla. It's a lackluster first entry into a new American Godzilla franchise but was met with critical acclaim.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on
