Hellraiser (1987)

Hellraiser is the story of a man who opens a puzzle box revealing to him the ultimate pleasure, but actually the ultimate pain. It's administered with chain hooks by a guy with pins sticking out of his head. This episode finds the answers of why horror movies are studied, why demons wear sunglasses, and which clubs hire blue grass bands for S&M parties. Let's get started, Satan's-a-waitin.

Sleeping Beauty (2014)

In a crash grab attempting to get in on that big, big Maleficent money, Asylem created this pile of schlock retelling the story of Sleeping Beauty. Only this time it has zombies, an iguana dragon, simulated rape, and Johnny Rico from Starship Troopers taking on Karen Arnold from The Wonder Years. Do you want to learn more?

Ughh!

Lady Luck lights some scented candles and draws a hot bath for the soap opera disguised as a movie...Soda Springs.  Eden was arrested for killing people while drunk driving.  He returns to his hometown after serving his time to find his ex-wife remarried, his child playing baseball, his mother obsessively pining over his dead father, a pair of cops who take orders from a used car salesmen, and a ghost.  You got all of that?

My name is Odd Thomas

A clairvoyant detective of sorts fights a mallpocolypse and CG creatures call Bodeks.  Based off a Dean Koontz series of books, Odd Thomas dares to be uneven in tone, ignoring simple editing cuts, and yet still manages to be fun.  Lady Luck is making Zac and Biggs scratch their heads.

It's holding, Captain

When a megashark breaks out from an iceberg being towed by a tugboat to Egypt, the US military upgrades their mechashark to do battle with it.  Scientist Debbie Gibson also stars in Megashark vs Mechashark.  Seriously, Lady Luck?

Big uppercut by Martinez

Lady Luck really sucks right now.  She forces Biggs and Zac to watch the so-bad-it's-terrible movie Never Back Down 2:  The Beatdown.  It's so horrible that massive amounts of alcohol are consumed and the show is turned into a commentary just so that they didn't have to watch it and talk about it later.  It's the story about MMA fighters punching notebook paper.  No, really.

Don't worry it's just a pack of wolves

Lady Luck splits Zac and Biggs with the 1995 family adventure Jumanji.  A child finds a game uncovered by an excavation.  He begins to play and finds himself stuck within the game for twenty-six years.  The game then falls into the hands two children (one played by Kirsten Dunst).  They free the child now grown into a man (Robin Williams) and realize they have to finish playing the game before the town's torn up by Bad CGI animals.  May God have mercy on our souls.

So...where are you?

Lady Luck blesses the podcast with the classic:  Memento.  Christopher Nolan directed this film about an insurance agent (Guy Pierce) who gets in an accident and loses the ability to make new memories.  He spends his life tracking down his wife's killer.  Or does he?  This brilliant film moves forwards in one half of the movie, backwards in the other.  Finally the stories collide in great ending that won't be easily forgotten...unless your the main character.

It's 7:15

An American ex-patriot in Belgium is on the run with his daughter after his past in the CIA comes back to haunt him.  Aaron Eckhart stars in Erased, a thriller that Lady Luck threw at us.  Zac and Biggs change the pace and do this film as a commentary that you don't necessarily need to watch while listening.

Six years ago NASA discovered the possibility of alien life within our solar system

Godzilla director Gareth Edwards made this independent film about monsters, which isn't about monsters at all.  Scoot McNairy plays a photographer trying to scrape by off of taking pictures of tragedies committed by tentacled monsters in Mexico.  His boss forces him to help his daughter (Whitney Able) back over the border into America.  Along the way they learn about the creatures, humanity, and love.  They even learn a thing or two.  And if you're not careful you may learn something too.  Lady Luck's gonna have a good time.
