It's time to take the Death Race out of the jail and into the desert. The desert jail. It's time for dune buggy action, an Oceans 11 plot that works less and less the more you think about it, and all of our main characters conveniently forgetting a very important plot point that they all figured out at the end of Death Race 2. It's kind of a weird mess, but it's nice to see some familiar faces (one of which we should NOT be seeing nearly as much as we are, FRANKENSTEIN.)Please rate, review, and tell your fiends.

Frankenstein's back, for the very first time! This week, we're going way back to the origins of Death Race, and the origins of Frankenstein.

We're finally returning to the Death Race world, with the remake/requel/whatever series. This one stars the second coming of Arnold Schwarzenegger, aka Jason Statham, and it takes place in the far-flung future of 2012. It's um, believably dystopian. Join us as we gush about Ian McShane, give this film the autism representation seal of approval, and talk about the Mario Kart-ification of the For Profit Prison Industrial Complex.

Tim Kirk is back, and we are headed to 1950s-era Germany, a weird time for Germany, and the world. Join us as we talk about this campy, bonkers, sci-fi romp that is almost certainly a response to some of the darker events of World War II. We both got way more out of this movie than we expected to! This week, Tim Kirk is back to discuss a... challenging film. We're both lovers of amateur and independent films and we both really struggled with this one. It's a strange mess of a film with a couple really cool ideas that only make the strange mess of it all that more frustrating. But we did our best all the same, and definitely had a good time talking about it, even if we didn't have fun watching it. Join us! Tim's new music video for The Mountain Goats' "Charlie Sheen Reaches Out To The Feds" can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PEJmPTIzqk And his book All His Damned Mother's Sons is still available! Purchase it at https://pelekinesis.square.site?cc=FRANKENCAST or just go to pelekinesis.com and enter code FRANKENCAST at checkout. And you can always find more from Tim at tim2kirk.com!

Anthony is back with another Tubi deep-dive and this one is quite a gem! This is another present day sci-fi-focused Frankenstein story, similar to the Bernard Rose film we recently discussed. But this film asks the question, what if stem cell research helped up make a PSYCHIC FRANKENSTEIN?!? It's sad, brutal, and campy, and features modern-era scream queen Tiffany Shepis as one of many mad scientists working at the Prometheus Project. Join us! Please rate, review, and tell your fiends.
