Mini BOP - THE SLEEPER MUST AWAKEN: MAKING DUNE

From the darkness of De Laurentiis, the author longs to see. One shoots out in Mexico City, space fetus walk with me. Streaming exclusively on Arrow Video comes The Sleeper Must Awaken: Making Dune, and Mike n' Jamie are here to talk about the documentary the whole seitch has been waiting for! With attention on the recent adaptation, many have revisited the first attempt to bring Arrakis to life (the first to make it to screen, at least). A critical and commercial disaster, the movie is remembered mostly for burning David Lynch on the Hollywood system and setting him down a stranger, owl-strewn path. But this doc shows just how much love and innovation went into a film deemed impossible, and even the most jaded Dune Dude might find themselves looking at the desert planet with a fresh wonder. Not to mention more gimp-suit content than you can shake an Everett McGill at!

Mini BOP - IN SEARCH OF DARKNESS PART 2

You've heard the BOP Crew talk about their love of genre cinema before, but not their love of watching other people express that passion with more eloquence and sex appeal! This episode, we're talking about IN SEARCH OF DARKNESS II, the second leg of CreatorVC's critically-acclaimed journey through the horror cinema of the 1980s, with new interviews from Nancy Allen, Linnea Quigley, Clancy Brown, and at least one member of Slipknot. With a longer length and more diverse subject matter, is it as entertaining and rewatchable as the original, or is this the Halloween II (either of them) of horror docs?

SHOCKER: A Nightmares & Schlockscapes Spotlight

Welcome to Nightmares and Schlockscapes, where movies that go bump in the night are dragged from beneath your bed and into the spotlight. The Gothic classics of yesteryear, the bodacious B-grades, and those celluloid chillers best watched through your fingers.

Horror. It's versatility and the importance of it's tropes to other genre spectrum's make it transcend tone, becoming a language all it's own. Beside the great Greek masks of Sock and Buskin that represent the pillars of storytelling - Comedy and Tragedy, respectively - there should be a third with barred fangs and splattered blood. Horror can be thrilling or unnerving, inducing cheers or screams. It may expand your mind with philosophical waxings on life, society, and the psyche. Or, you know, maybe just have a hockey mask wearing super-fiend beat someone to death against a tree. All shapes, all sizes. It's the oldest form of storytelling, and be it grandiose rumination or splatter-punk, it tingles that primitive part of our brains. There's one variety of fright flick I have a particular soft spot for, and it shares a namesake with the title of this feature: Schlock. A term that carries with it... mixed connotations. Many negative, for sure. But, when used in the context of a certain breed of horror film, it can be quite endearing.

So, it's only fitting to start this series with the film that birthed this love of schlock. Wes Craven's SHOCKER is a frenzied, nutso, tonally whiplashed delight. It is also, sadly, a near ignored entry in the late horror maestro's filmography. Craven placed the unmitigated definition of over-the-top into a stew pot, poured a sizable helping of earnest melodrama so thick it could choke you on top, stirred in a pinch of spit in your face pop culture, and what brewed was a film born to be rented on V/H/S over and over again.

BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II Commentary Track

Nobody calls this podcast chicken! NOBODY! You can call us fashionable, though. What, with our double ties and all. But, enough about neck accessories, our special BOP 'n A Movie series is blasting off into the future, the alternate present, and back to the past, for the next entry in the beloved trilogy -- BACK TO THE FUTURE PART 2! Featuring the first appearance of President Trump. Sigh. But, that unfortunate prediction aside, it also features one of the most interesting uses of time travel in a story, ever... even if it is to it's own detriment. We dig into topics such as production history, the thought process that went into breaking the story, why said story is kind of broken, it's approach to future design, Zemeckis' push to do things totally unique, why you gotta respect Part 2 at the end of the day, and the sad, sad story of replacement George McFly. So, if you got the POWAH - along with a copy of the movie - join us for this feature audio commentary!

Where you're going, you won't need ROADS. But you'll need ears for listening! Download the commentary here!

Starting right here with the film that changed a cultural landscape, the Steven Spielberg produced, Robert Zemeckis directed, cinematic classic -- BACK TO THE FUTURE! Exactly how much about the nuts and bolts of this touchstone have we all overlooked? Breaking it all down proves it to be a one movie film school, we discover. From the sheer inventiveness put into it's design, the near cosmic series of coincidences that led to it's lightning strikes clock tower perfection, and how it gifted us a new breed of story and film-making. And the hit Huey Lewis song Power of Love. A GIFT, I say!

CLUE Commentary Track (with Carter Lee)

Was it Cody in the Billiard Room with the pipe? Was it Jamie in the Kitchen with the candlestick? Perhaps Mike in the Library with the revolver? Or, in the most likely scenario, our special returning guest Carter Lee in the Dining Room with the rope!? No matter the answer, Communism was JUST a red herring, we assure you. You see, on this date of December 13th, but in the year of 1985, one of the greatest comedies ever produced was unappreciatively released in theaters. But, decades later, we're here to appreciate! And delve into what makes this classic satire of whodunits so special -- and it's not just the fact a movie based on a board game was actually good. And so, BOP 'n A Movie cordially invites you on this dark and stormy night to our Manor of Many Rooms, for a dinner date of brandy, blackmail, and MURDER! But before we stack any corpses onto the couch, enjoy this feature commentary track for... CLUE!

READY PLAYER ONE

A podcaster who hates his podcast. A hidden cameo, and tangents not forecast. Click the link, ignore our past, and this episode of BOP will be yours at last! As you can tell by CGI Cody feeding you wizard riddles, The Crew is logging on to The Oasis to talk Steven Spielberg's ode to pop culture - READY PLAYER ONE! We dig into the film's surprisingly nuanced approach to nostalgia, compare Ernest Cline's book to Zak Penn's nearly unrecognizable script, debate whether Wade Watts is a nice guy or a "Nice Guy", and remind ourselves periodically that, yes, Steven Spielberg directed scenes with THOSE characters.

Tales From The BOP: NEKROMANTIK

What lurks behind this seemingly normal german apartment window? Allow a still shell-shocked Mike to spin a tale of love, low budgets, and the depths of sexual depravity for you and the rest of the BOP Crew. Even though NEKROMANTIK pulls back the satin sheets from it's sexy, sexy grave and invites you into it's crisp blu-ray re-release -- do not! Don't make the same mistake I did! Run! Run! RUN! And instead, run right into this installment of the spine-tingling bastion of the ghastly... TALES FROM THE BOP!

Tales From The BOP: WOLFEN

Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may get stuck watching WOLFEN when the VHS player blooms and the autumn moon is bright. On this new BOP segment, Cody recounts his harrowing encounter with the kinda-sorta werewolf movie WOLFEN to the rest of the crew, preventing them from a grizzly fate of actually having to watch this train wreck of a movie for themselves. It’s a descent into hell, horror, time-warping runtimes, and a nude Edward James Olmos in the very first TALES FROM THE BOP!
