The Cinemania Society Podcast ·

2024/01/03

The heretic renegades of the Cinemania Society have finally found some ground transport that keeps them out of the rain and cold, but Verifier Andy has something nefarious and diabolical planned for his turn as Pontifex of Presentment. The Society is forced to watch "How to Get Ahead in Advertising," yet another obscure British independent film, but this time another joint from HandMade Films, one that features Richard E. Grant delivering some truly maniacal monologues. It's Clockwork Orange time,

The heretic renegades of the Cinemania Society find themselves on the outskirts of an abandoned futurecore theme park (legally distinct from any other futurecore theme park you might be imagining), where they decide to hold their next Conclave examining the blockbuster sci-fi action spectacular from 1990, Total Recall! One can only imagine what manner of dreadful encounters the gang might have as they skulk through the rusting beams and mildewed thrill rides of this once grand (but oddly Soviet)

It's autumn, which means rainy weather. That, and long hours on the road have resulted in a tragedy which has left the cultists of The Cinemania Society in desperate need of a (temporary) rebrand and relocation to someplace dry to hold a conclave based on *shudder* books. Naturally, Auntie Hope has assigned the group to read the most dangerous book in existence, that dread tome NECRONOMICON. Listen in terror to this, the first (and possibly only) episode of the LIBROMANIA LEGION. This episode was
