MPM: Ep. 112 - StopMo Rulz

Coraline | Corpse Bride - Hello everyone! Welcome again to another episode of Motion Picture Meltdown! Our MPM contest winner, Alisa Hamilton has joined myself, Mark, Philip, and Dehart in a specially requested episode for her prize! She has asked us to roast a couple of Stop-Motion animation films from the past decade. We go through Henry Selick's Coraline as well as Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. In this episode, you will hear Mark's unbridled rage for Tim Burton (once again), a story of skeletons and monsters from my past, and that uncatchy songs and unlikeable characters don't fair well for a musical. Enjoy!

MPM: Ep. 111 - We've Got Shrinkage!

Honey, I Shrunk The Kids! | Innerspace - Hello everyone! Welcome to episode 111 of Motion Picture Meltdown! This week we honor our second place winner in the first MPM quiz out there, Clay Nevels! Clay wanted us to roast through a couple of 80's science fiction movies and we did just that! We go through the ever elusive scyfy thriller/comedy, Innerspace as well as a more popular Disney hit, Honey, I Shrunk The Kids! In this episode you'll hear such interesting topics as question why Mexican Cheerios are so small, the unwise choice of putting dildos in kid's movies, and that the Air Force doesn't really care about their men anyway. Enjoy!

MPM: Ep. 110 - Let The Games Begin!

The Garbage Pail Kids | Clue | Transformers: The Movie | GI Joe: The Movie | Transformers | GI Joe | Battleship - Games Into Movies Special - Hello everyone! Welcome to episode 110 of Motion Picture Meltdown! Mark, Philip, Dehart, and myself decide to roast through a plethora of mostly shitacular movies in a genre that seems to be seldom talked about amongst the movie world (and rightfully so!). We go through movies based on popular toys and board games! Roasting through the timeline of movies, we touch up on early films like Clue and The Garbage Pail Kids, 80's cartoon movies like Transformers: The Movie and GI Joe: The Movie, all the way up to current blockbuster movies like Transformers, GI Joe, and Battleship. In this episode, you will hear our votes for the worst game-movie that could possibly be made, or college knowledge on battleship anchors, and touch more Philip's inner fear of Tim Curry. Enjoy!

MPM: Ep. 109 - InSITHious

Insidious | Insidious: Chapter 2 - Hello everyone! Welcome to another episode of Motion Picture Meltdown! The whole crew is back together as we get back to our roots a little bit and explore the horror genre with a couple of newer horror movies. We all discuss the footprint that James Wan has left in the horror scene and focus on his two possession/ghost movies Insidious  and Insidious: Chapter 2. In this episode, you'll hear us talk about the transition of Darth Maul from Star Wars to horror, the stupidity of adding any aspects of time travel into a horror movie, and the importance of dissonance in horror music. Enjoy!
