B-Movie Babylon
B-Movie Babylon
Mike Bracken
B-Movie Babylon is a safe space for cult cinema lovers where we firmly believe the "B"in B-Movie stands for brilliant. From cult exploitation, horror, action, skinemax flicks, and beyond, I'll be taking a deep dive into some of the greatest trash films ever made.
The Alien Abduction Movie That Fooled UFO Experts!
Today's movie is famous for two reasons...it's the first example of what we think of as modern found footage cinema (predating Blair Witch and The Last Broadcast by roughly a decade) and the film that had UFO enthusiasts convinced they'd seen real footage of a violent encounter with extra terrestrials!

My Favorite Star Wars Ripoff Ever!
Today we're venturing into the B-movie vault to tackle what may well be my favorite Star Wars ripoff in Luigi Cozzi's wildly entertaining Starcrash! This one's got Joe Spinell as a Darth Vader wannabe, Christopher Plummer as the Emperor, The Hoff in one of his earliest roles, and the inimitable Caroline Munro traversing space in a bikini years before Leia would don one on Jabba's barge! This one is a stone cold cult classic. Want to support the channel? https://www.patreon.com/Horrorgeek https://ko-fi.com/thehorrorgeekGet Your Horrorgeek Merch!https://horrorgeek.creator-spring.com/ Purchase Star Crash here: https://amzn.to/3Gh63uBBattle Beyond the Stars: https://amzn.to/40U4X1iDisclaimer: this is an Amazon affiliate link.
