The Rocky Horror Picture Show | Sweeny Todd | Little Shop Of Horrors | Nightmare Before Christmas | Cannibal! The Musical - Horror Musical Special - Hey everyone! Get your singing voices ready for this special episode of Motion Picture Meltdown! By one of our fans requests, Philip, Dehart, and myself have decided to take a trip through cinematic history and go through a very special and specific genre of movie....the horror musical! Starting in the 70's we touch base on tons of horror musical films from The Rocky Horror Picture Show all the way up to Sweeny Todd: Demon Barber of Fleet Street. We even talk about other movies that could be categorized in the genre as well! Enjoy!

MPM: Ep. 107 - The Eddie Murphy Mindfuck

The Golden Child | Coming To America -Hello everyone! Welcome to another episode of Motion Picture Meltdown! We have ventured back into the 1980's once again to roast a couple of Eddie Murphy's first movies in The Golden Child as well as Coming To America. In this episode, Philip, Mark, Dehart, and myself question the logic of Eddie Murphy's movie choices, we discuss the art of cock snorkeling, the formation of our SKA band, The Big Fat Cokeheads, and the coincidences of Arsenio Hall and trannie hookers. Enjoy!

MPM: Ep. 106 - Jimmy Buffet, Entomologist Extraordinaire.

The Fly (1986) | Arachnophobia - Hello everyone! Happy New Year and welcome to episode 106 of Motion Picture Meltdown! We hope you enjoyed out Holiday episodes, and now its time to get back into the normal swing of things. With the absence of Mark, I took the liberty of inviting United Cypher's Dehart (who is now a full-time MPM co-host) as well as Phil to podcast a couple of creature feature horror flicks. We roast the popular David Cronenberg hit from 1986, The Fly as well as the core to all of children's nightmares, Arachnophobia. In this episode we debate over whether it would be better to be a fly or spider, we evaluate Jimmy Buffet's entomology expertise, as well as talk about some great special effects of the 80's. Enjoy!
