How it was shot, camera work, dialogue, all things that can serve as an example or inspiration for filmmakers at all levels.

We tackle Blood Hunters in this episode. A low-budget horror that unfortunately falls short on horror, story, plot, and sensibility. We dissect this mess of missed opportunities and dive into some important lessons. Story, plot lines, character development, and the outdated use of jump-scares and why filmmakers need to stop using them are a few things we touch on. We were hoping for a good and fun horror. We were given a boring, disjointed, annoyingly sloppy mess.

It’s our first coverage of an The Asylum Films movie for the podcast. Dead 7 is a post-apocalyptic zombie western, filled with aging Boy Band members. Written by Nick Carter, we see why The Asylum has done so well with their B-movie formula all of these years. Filled with plot holes and bewildering location cuts, it’s actually not as bad in those areas as some A-List movies out there. We talk about the Asylum formula, b-movies, and why a director might want to pick up a project like this from a b-movie studio.

A true story with excellent portrayals, it is not to be missed. We talk about the technical aspects, which are superior, and the importance of the need for stories that have that human spark in them.

We start Pride Month talking about this great 80’s homage movie, Girl/Girl Scene, spawned from a successful web series of the same name. Following a group of friends we take a nostalgic run through what made 80’s friend films so great, including a very 80’s VCR look. Because the characters are lesbians this movie took a huge hit from bigoted trolls, but writer/director Tucky Williams did not stand for it. We talk about not just this fun movie but also how bigots got it knocked off of Amazon, and how Tucky fought and won to get it back on. This is an important episode for all filmmakers.
