May (2002) - Additional Crew

“I feel like the one-legged man in an ass kicking contest.”Welcome to Additional Crew. Today we bring you “A deadly entity from space crash-lands near a small town, and begins consuming anyone in its path. Panic ensues, as shady government scientists try to contain the horrific creature.” I am of course talking about Chuck Russell’s sci-fi horror remake The Blob from 1988. Or as I like to call it the movie with that lady from Becker and Babe Ruth from the Sandlot. This remake is rather well received by the audience, will it be able to suck Additional Crew into its gelatinous orbit?The Blob, 1988 horror, practical effects, movie analysis, cultural commentary, sci-fi horror, film discussion, nostalgia, special effects, capitalism The Blob, practical effects, 1980s horror, special effects, cult movies, sci-fi horror, movie analysis, Chuck Russell, Shawnee Smith, horror effects

“Ain’t no romance without no ***damn finance.”Welcome to Additional Crew. Today we bring you “A con-artist hires two low-lifes to cover him during a deal, ending with three criminals, two dueling pistols, and one night they'll never forget.” I am of course talking about the 2000 flick from director Oz Scott, Spanish Judges. Oz Scott who has primarily directed TV episodes of basically every series since the 1980s gets to hang with Vincent D'Onofrio, Matthew Lillard, Valeria Golino and Mark Boone Junior to make a crime drama. Critically panned, do the judges ultimately have it wrong? We have our animal cruelty review, clip of the week, and of course the discussion of the themes and artistry of the movie. #thriller #crime #matthewlillard #vincentdonofrio #moviereview #hiddengems

“This racist propaganda psychobabble; he learned this nonsense, Murray, and he can unlearn it too.”Welcome to Additional Crew. Today we bring you “A neo-Nazi is released from prison a changed man and hopes to prevent his younger brother from following in his footsteps.” We are of course talking about Humpty Dumpty’s (aka Tony Kaye’s) film American History X. Widely known as the movie where Edward Norton was nominated for best actor for playing a white supremacist that performed a curb stomp, what does the movie really stand for? Is it worth re-visiting? Before we get into that I’m going to flatly state that this podcast is going to have to tackle some political, moral, and ethical ideas. This isn’t a movie that you can discuss without bringing anything up. We are not attempting to sway opinions on any political party directly, and we are not advertising for anyone to do anything other than thank about a movie and think about the relation to life.#movies #filmreview #americanhistoryx #90s #thriller #drama

“So, are we like best friends now that you've seen what's in my freezer? ”Welcome to Additional Crew. Today we bring you “A socially awkward veterinary assistant with a lazy eye and obsession with perfection descends into depravity after developing a crush on a boy with perfect hands.” I am of course talking about Lucky Mckee’s second film, May from 2002. The film won 9 awards despite only being nominated for 8, an anomaly explained only in the annals of IMDB.Featuring:- Shoutouts to Chat Pile!- Best New Finds- Spoiler Free Review- Spoiler Heavy Discussion- Animal Cruelty Review- Clip of the Week#May #Horror #Review #Moviereview #luckymckee #filmreview #00s #indie

Welcome to Additional Crew. Today we bring you “In the 1950s, a young boy living with his troublesome family in rural USA fantasizes that a neighboring widow is actually a vampire, responsible for a number of disappearances in the area.” I am of course talking about Philip Ridley’s 1990 cult flick The Reflecting Skin. This British movie set in the remote location of Idaho seems to be a love-it or hate-it passion project of an artist. Do the Brits really know how to capture 1950s Americana?

Welcome to Additional Crew. Today we bring you “In a distant future scarce of water, space pirates get caught after stealing ice from a spaceship. They are sold to a princess looking for her dad. He might have found a planet abundant with water.” I am of course talking about Stewart Raffill’s “The Ice Pirates”. A sci-fi/parody/action/comedy/adventure spoof of sorts that competes with the most asinine cult films from the 80s.#80s #scifi #comedy #adventure #action #specialeffects #costumes #cultmovies #moviereview

RIP Screaming Mad George. A wonderful talent lost in 2026.“Those early days of fascination are over. Now I think the whole thing’s just a fucking headaches.”Welcome to Additional Crew. Today we bring you “A vain actor, his best friend, and an activist end up at a mutant freak farm run by a weirdo scientist.” I am of course talking about Alex Winter’s Freaked. A comedy flick made to showcase a bunch of quirky characters and Screaming Mad George’s creations.

“I have a podcast I've never seen. I know it's mine, but I deny it.”Welcome to Additional Crew. Today we bring you “When a team of explorers venture into the catacombs that lie beneath the streets of Paris, they uncover the dark secret that lies within this city of the dead.” I am of course talking about As Above So Below the 2014 movie by John Erick Dowdle. This is the only movie that was ever given government permission to film in the famous Paris catacombs, does the setting give it life? Before we jump into that allow me to introduce our hosts. I am Nic, and I don’t have a philosopher’s stone inside me. With me is Adam, frequent host, known on the instagram as VHSgoblin.

“Me? I've had so many names. Old names that only the wind and the trees can pronounce. I am the mountain, the forest and the earth. I am... I am Additional Crew. Your most humble servant, Your Highness. ”Welcome to Additional Crew. Today we bring you “In 1944 Francoist Spain, an imaginative young girl meets a faun who tells her she's a princess and that she must prove her worthiness by completing three dangerous tasks.” I am of course talking about the 20 year old film Pan’s Labyrinth, titled in its original language as El laberinto del fauno. Guillermo Del Toro made his true international statement with this film, and broke onto the scene despite a few solid-to-amazing movies before this. One of my favorite little details on this one is that the opening weekend netted less than $600,000 but by the time it left the box office worldwide it made almost $89 million.#guillermodeltoro #horror #fantasy #podcast #filmreview #panslabyrinth #spain
