Killbots (aka Chopping Mall Redux) (1986)

A group of teenagers must fight for their lives in a mall guarded by malfunctioning killbots!  For this 100th episode of Bad Movie Date Night, Nigel and Kaitlyn decided they needed a chance to redeem their favorite of all the "bad" movies, Chopping Mall, the classic film about malfunctioning robots blowing up heads and chasing down teens in a mall after it closes. This episode is chock full of soapboxes as Nigel discusses how far the podcast has come, the fine line between horror and horror-comedy, the lack of respect the horror genre receives, and why so many other shows look down on films.  You won't want to miss this!    Chopping Mall Directed by: Jim Wynorski Written by: Jim Wynorski, Steve Mitchell Starring: Kelli Maroney, Tony O'Dell, Russell Todd, Karrie Emerson, Barbara Crampton, Nick Segel, John Terlesky, Suzee Slater Don't forget to hit that subscribe button!  Support us on Patreon at www.patreon.com/ajourneyintofilm Want merch?
