Movie Meltdown - Episode 66.2

Come on down to the creek!!

This week's Sofa Theater  feature is BLOOD CREEK. Joel Schumacher brings us this take on a supernatural nazi zombie. But where does this movie fall on the Schumacher scale... near the top with The Lost Boys or all the way down to Batman and Robin??

Plus feedback from our supportive podcasting family and news of our upcoming Sofa Theater features.

"It's actually kind of a thinking horror movie." 

 "Which I'm not used to."

Warning:  Lots of zombie horses and spoilers!

Movie Meltdown - Episode 65

This episode we welcome back Steve (aka The Stranger in the Video Store) to kick off our new independent film review segment. Steve gives us his take on the indie films Mantra and Zombie Cheerleading Camp.

Keep in mind, the makers of these films specifically asked us to review these movies, so... you guys asked for it. We take no responsibility for what Steve says. He's a tough but fair reviewer. Filmmakers, remember that if you submit your films in the future.

Regardless, if you are interested in these films, you can find them at: http://www.mantramoviesite.com/ and http://www.zombiecheerleadingcamp.com/

"Imagine a Jason movie - on Jason's day off."

 Warning: Possible spoilers (if you are going to seek out and watch these movies).
