MPM: S04/E13 - The Devil's Eyes

John Carpenter's Halloween | Halloween - Happy Halloween to everyone from Motion Picture Meltdown! To go along with your trick or treating, Mark, Philip, and myself have a great special Halloween episode in store for you! We've gone back to 1978 to depict one of the most inspiring and staple horror flicks of all time, Jon Carpenter's Halloween, as well as go into great comparison and description between it and Rob Zombie's Halloween from 2007. In this episode, we talk about the scare factor of the unknown versus the known background of a serial killer, we compare motive to no motive, and not only do some harping on Rob Zombie's forced vulgarity, but also some natural harping on Cheats. Enjoy!

MPM: S04/E12 - The Van Dammathon.

Bloodsport | Kickboxer - Hello once again! Welcome to another episode of Motion Picture Meltdown! This week we travel back into my comfort zone, in the cushiony pillowyness of the 1980's as Mark, Philip, Trav and I it up a rarity in the MPM world and take on two martial arts movies, and combine some familiarity as we throw in Jean-Claude Van Damme and roast Bloodsport  and Kickboxer. There's no shortage of Asian racism in this one, as we discuss the full weapons grade bolognium that goes on. We talk about how being able to shimmy doesn't make you a badass, sometimes being the hero costs more money, and lets face it, anyone that gets a coconut dropped on their stomach from 100 feet isn't going to be ok. Enjoy!

MPM: S04/E11 - Video Game Movie Smoothie!

Super Mario Bros | Double Dragon - Hey Paizzanos! Welcome to another episode of Motion Picture Meltdown! This episode, Mark, Philip, Travis, and myself leave our 80's comfort zone to talk about some of the WORST video game movie adaptations in existence. We all know how bad video game movies are, so when we say the worst, we mean absolutely craptastic! Together we roast Super Mario Bros and Double Dragon! Some things to listen for in this episode are our opinions of of the logic of making a video game movie that has nothing to do with the game, what exactly is so hard about using red and green overalls in the wardrobe, and honestly, those 1990's pump up Reebok's didn't do shit. Enjoy!

MPM: S04/E10 - It Happens To The Estevez.

Maximum Overdrive | The Wraith - Hello everyone! Welcome once again to another great episode of Motion Picture Meltdown! In this episode, Mark, Philip, and myself get back into our comfort zone (the 1980's) and review some serious pieces of crap. With doing a Martin Sheen movie last week, we only felt it natural that we round out the Estevez family as we roast Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive and the ever flamboyant 1986 flick The Wraith, starring none other than seven-gram rock banger himself, Charlie Sheen. In this podcast, you'll hear such things as Philip trying to find logic in a movie about killer machines, some serious creeper responses to rejections, and Mark say the word "Coke" at least 350 times. Enjoy!

MPM: S04/E09 - Kiss My Harry Alf.

Harry and the Hendersons | Project: ALF - Hello everyone! Welcome to another episode of Motion Picture Meltdown! In this podcast, we're bored to tears as Mark, Philip, Travis, and myself take on two of America's favorite classic television creatures as we roast Harry and the Hendersons and the 1996 made-for-tv movie Project: ALF. These movies really suck. In fact, they suck so much, that half the podcast doesn't even focus on them! Be prepared to hear some interesting facts about how one of these movies won an oscar, tons of Multiplicity references, and once again, Mark Hinton explains to us exactly what "Squirt" is. Enjoy!
