Movie Melt! Podcast - Psychotronic and Outsider Cinema ·

2026/09/24

Four college students head to a cemetery for a little fun and meet Sean: a skull-masked occultist with opium, tarot cards, a jester belt, and enough speeches about the mental plane to make them wish they'd stayed home.Originally released as Scorpio, this Florida shot-on-video nightmare was written by John Brodie, who also cast himself as Sean. Ron Atkins flew in from Las Vegas to shoot it in four days. Jeremiah digs through Atkins's Cutthroat Video catalog, while Matt opens Brodie's actual book on

Shot on Video September starts here — but not with a horror movie?!In 1998, Kathryn Hudson wrote, directed, scored and starred in her own vanity project as an alien monarch from the planet Neberon: crash-landed on Earth at nine, raised by Himalayan mystics, running a Santa Monica dance studio, and defending the beach from a businessman who turns swimmers green and sells them the antidote for a million dollars. Then she never dropped the act. Twenty-eight years later she's still Queen Kathryn —

The catch: it sells only pineapple pizza, has basically no customers, and the van isn't even paid off. His solution is to put the stripper-school dancers to work delivering the pizzas. The pizza remains terrible, but after one

Continuing with our Sensitive Boy Summer, the gang dives into one of the sleaziest, stupidest, and most shameless sex comedies of the 1980s, The Party Animal (1984), the infamous tale of eternal virgin Pondo Sinatra and his spectacularly misguided quest to become the world's greatest ladies' man.Along the way, we uncover the film's bizarre production history, the unbelievable reshoots, and ask whether this forgotten cult oddity is merely offensive, fascinating... or both?

2026/06/10

Your sensitive boys are back! Listen as we pack into a grimy little Beach House and spend 76 sweaty minutes obsessing over one of the most forgotten sex comedies of the early 80s. From Jersey boardwalk hangouts and chaotic house parties to doo‑wop punks, softball grudges, and one especially questionable horndog named Marty, this hangout movie somehow dodges the usual sleaze and lands as a genuinely sweet, punk‑rock time capsule.Along the way, the crew digs into the tangled history behind the film:

It's spring break. We're skipping the belly-flop contest and going artifact hunting — which is exactly what the cast of Camp Fear (1991) thought they were doing before the earthquakes, bikers, and George Buck Flower showed up. Betsy Russell stars in what was intended to be a Cheerleader Camp Sequel, but as will be explained, things went whacky in all the right ways to make a very very interesting film. Plus, we crack the case about the mysterious one-credit director! Also on this episode: Waffle

YouTube tried to erase us — but they can’t kill the tapeHalfway through our live breakdown of The L.A. Riot Spectacular (2005), the broadcast suddenly disappeared with zero warning while we were still on air, still talking, still laughing at the mysteriously empty viewer count. No strike notice. No explanation. Just gone. So here it is — the full, resurrected episode.
