It's nearly Halloween so I thought I'd meet with Joe & Rob from Caliber 9 From Outer Space to share some recommendations for spookytime movie watching. Whether you're into actually scary movies, gory movies, or just silly goofy movies with a horror bent, we got something for you in this episode.
And stay tuned at the end to hear which presidential candidate earns the coveted official Cinema Oblivia endorsement!

DON'T YOU SAY THAT.
Emmett Watkins Jr. returns to the podcast to talk about this wacky Blaxploitation spoof that helped to launch the Wayans family empire. We had a lot to say about this one, it may be my longest episode yet! We also talk about its lesser-known sequel/spin-off (yes, really!) and another attempt at Blaxsploitation homage that did not work nearly as well, Original Gangstas. -

What's more terrifying than a circus full of clowns? A circus full of vampires!
Joe Odber from the Caliber 9 From Outer Space podcast returns to Cinema Oblivia to talk about Vampire Circus, a 1970s Hammer horror flick that's oddly disturbing when compared to their other flicks featured fanged villain. Slight content warning on this one, there is some icky stuff in this one!
-
Anthony Abatte joins me once again to talk about Catch The Heat, an utterly forgotten late-80s B-grade action flick written by Sterling Silliphant and starring his wife Tiana Alexandra. It's a mess! But it's a charming mess. When it's not throwing out really bad racial slurs in its attempt to criticize racism.
Yeah, um, content warning on this one.
-
Rob Hill of the Bad Movie Bible returns with possibly the most British thing I have ever seen in my entire life. If you've never seen Mr. Jolly Lives Next Door, for God's sake go on YouTube right now and watch Mr. Jolly Lives Next Door, it's only 53 minutes long! Then come back and listen to us laugh about Mr. Jolly Lives Next Door for over 90 minutes.
-
Doris Day makes her long-awaited debut on Cinema Oblivia!
I put together this episode with Anthony Abatte and Diamond Feit because I wanted to introduce them to the wonderful world of Doris Day. And while we did that, I think we spent even more time talking about the amazing wit of Eve Arden and the inhuman dancing of Gene Nelson!
-
I've been unable to record lately due to my ever-so-fun health issues, so I thought I'd throw together this quick episode going over the multitude of Charles Bronson films I've seen recently. There are a lot, and most of them aren't the first flicks people think of when they think of Bronson. Lots of fun movies here, I hope you come away from this with some movies you want to check out!
-
It's the goopiest episode of Cinema Oblivia yet! Is Species II an unfairly maligned sequel? Madeleine Koestner thinks so, and she makes her case that this movie has a bad rep that is, well, at least partially unjustified. I mean, let's not get crazy here.
-
Last week I watched Batman & Robin for the first time and I unironically loved it so much. Seriously, I think it's an amazing movie and maybe the best Batman movie ever made.
I needed to talk to someone about it! Thankfully, superhero movie aficionado and Batman superfan Anthony Abatte was able to join me to offer a more sane opinion on the film. We also talk about other films where our opinions deviate from the norm, sometimes we all have really out-there opinions!
-
Diamond Feit and I cannot stop talking about 1970s plane disaster TV movies! We're back with two more, the ludicrous Murder on Flight 502 and the absolutely bonkers SST: Death Flight!
We, as a culture, lost something when we stopped making star-studded TV movies, I tell ya.
-
The 70s were rife with TV movies about bad things happening on planes, and we're talking about two of them today! Diamond Feit joins me to talk about William Shatner, ghost druids, Marjoe Gortner, drunk doctors, Christopher George, and more!
-
I'm back! And I brought Anthony Abatte with me so we could talk about The Last Stand, a movie starring one of the biggest movie stars of all time (Arnold Schwarzenegger) that only came out 11 years ago, but has somehow managed to be completely forgotten. Which is a shame because while it ain't high art by any stretch of the imagination, it's damn good.
-
Hey everyone! I'm still here!
Covid sucks, don't get it. It (and other things) are keeping me from recording a proper episode this month, so I thought I'd record this mini non-episode to let you all know what's going on, and rattle off the 30+ movies I've watched in 14 or so days.
I had a lot of down time.
-
Italian cinema fanatic Joe Odber is back to talk about The Italian Connection, a classic Italian crime flick about a pimp who is having a very bad day. It was also a major influence on Pulp Fiction, features a dope as hell score, and 70s lapels galore. It's fantastic.
-
Okay so there's a pig zombie monster wearing a Nazi jacket. And some kind of zombie lady? There's definitely a ghost horse and a shotgun with infinite ammo. But where does the mummy fit into all of this?
Madeleine Koestner returns to try and help me digest one of the most inscrutably bad(?) movies ever made, Devil Story.
We also delve into what we think makes an honest-to-goodness worst movie ever made, and why many people's picks for the worst movie of all-time are bullshit.
-
In what might the be sleaziest episode of Cinema Oblivia yet, Diamond Feit returns to talk about De Palma's Hitchcockian thriller Body Double, one of the most ludicrously horny films ever made. It puts the 'cock' in 'Hitchcockian.'
It's also the greatest film ever made that incorporates a Frankie Goes to Hollywood video in its narrative. And before you ask, yes there is another. No, I won't tell you what it is.
Content warning: Lots of ribald sex talk in this one.
-
Since the last episode of Cinema Oblivia, my boyfriend got Covid, I flew to America, landed myself in the ER and [redacted personal drama]. Basically, it's been a hell of a month, so I felt like talking about movies that cheer me up. Anthony Abatte joins me to discuss his comfort films, what we feel makes a good comfort film, and our go-to emergency "cheer someone up" flicks.
-
Drew Mackie from The Gayest Episode Ever returns to Cinema Oblivia to talk about the 1986 fantasy classic Troll, aka the one true Harry Potter film (seriously). We talk about the movie's fantastic cast, great special effects, and what we want from a REAL Troll sequel.
-
I found Scott Sharkey wondering in the desert, put a microphone in front of him, and had him talk about the lesser-known Vincent Price/John Carradine horror anthology The Monster Club.
This swan song of British horror anthologies is goofy as hell. Find out what a humgoo is and why Shaddocks should NEVER WHISTLE. And hear some great (and horrible) monster-themed rock and/or roll!
-
Rob Hill from the Bad Movie Bible returns to the podcast to discuss one of his favorite films of all-time, the obscure 1961 British murder mystery, What A Carve Up! (The exclamation point is in the title)
You definitely haven't heard of that movie but I hope you give the episode a listen regardless.
