The Primevals (2023)

Manborg is too good for the podcast.

House III… except it's not really House III. This week on Bad Movie Night, we're talking about the bizarre 1989 horror movie The Horror Show, starring Lance Henriksen and Brion James.

We are back to talk about our gal Ethel. She is criminally insane in the brain, but she makes a sick ice cream sundae.

I can't believe we still make this podcast

Ian already received a three-year movie-picking ban for Hard Rock Zombies. Then we foolishly let him return and he made us watch Shut Up and Shoot! This unbearable 2006 Hollywood "comedy" somehow assembled Gary Busey, Tom Sizemore, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Daniel Baldwin, and Joe Estevez, then trapped them inside one of the worst movies we have ever covered. We discuss the atrocious music, painfully unfunny characters, bizarre celebrity cameos, and whether this movie is actually worse than Wickedness. By the end, Ian faces the only reasonable punishment: a lifetime ban from choosing movies.

The Primevals looks like a forgotten adventure movie from another era because it basically is. Filmed largely in 1994 and completed decades later, this wild stop-motion epic begins as a Yeti expedition before exploding into hidden civilizations, prehistoric creatures, reptilian aliens, lasers and gladiator combat. We review the movie, its incredible production history, its Ray Harryhausen-inspired effects and whether this long-lost passion project was worth the wait.

Is House of the Dead really one of the worst video game movies ever made, or has Uwe Boll's chaotic zombie disaster aged into something genuinely entertaining? We revisit the 2003 film to discuss its endless gun battle, Matrix-style action, bizarre editing, practical zombie effects, terrible storytelling, and why many of its biggest problems are also what make it so much fun. Plus, Aaron and Spiv take over the movie poster in ways nobody asked for.

It's New Jersey, so of course, there are deadly spawn everywhere.

For some reason we came back to do more episodes. This week we are covering the new Philip J Cook movie, Echoes of Dread!

There is a dinosaur robot, it's Blade Runner, I don't freakin know what happened during this episode.
