Plus, we can't resist a few cheeky comparisons to modern-day UFC and some classic wrestling references. So grab your popcorn and get ready for some laughs as we unpack this action-packed classic!

Diving headfirst into the wild world of cult classics, we kick things off with a chat about the 1971 gem, *The Abominable Dr. Phibes*. This flick, featuring the legendary Vincent Price, is a blend of revenge, music, and, let’s be honest, some bizarre artistic choices that leave us both scratching our heads and applauding. Who knew a disfigured organist could pull off such intricate murder methods inspired by biblical plagues? We dissect the film’s over-the-top styling and Vincent’s commitment to the role, showcasing his unique charm and manic energy. It’s not just a horror flick; it’s an artistic statement where every kill is more elaborate than the last, and we can’t help but cheer for Dr. Phibes as he takes out the bumbling medical team that failed his wife. Expect witty banter, fun insights about film festivals, and a whole lot of love for the creative madness that is this film.

Wrapping things up, we bring it back to the festival, sharing our excitement for the upcoming Anomaly Film Festival in Rochester, New York, and how this film fits perfectly within the genre celebration. With our casual banter and playful commentary, we aim to engage our listeners and encourage them to watch this cult classic. So, grab your popcorn, tune in, and let’s get weird with Dr. Phibes!

Queen of the Damned

Fri, 01 Apr 2022 07:46:00 -0400

The podcastronauts get together in person to discuss 2002's Queen of the Damned! The energy in the room is off the (wallet) chain in this one as we discuss Lestat's violin aptitude, Anne Rice's extreme dislike for any media she didn't create, dancing at goth clubs, Nu Metal, the herculean effort of cramming two books worth of plot into a 2 hour movie, and what kind of vampires we want to be. Also, a significant but not uncalled for amount of admiration for the late, great Aaliyah.

Candyman 1992 & 2021

Fri, 11 Mar 2022 10:20:00 -0400

It's arguably the most focused film discussion we've had yet! Following the double feature at the Little, KP, Meghan and Matt, take a deep dive into Candyman, both the original and last year's "Requel". We talk bees, hypnosis, and the power of legend and myth.

We're back with our first post-festival episode, and it's a doozy. For the first time ever, we recorded in front of a live audience! We talk Ghostbusters in our inimitable style, with plenty of digressions, some swooning over Sigourney Weaver, and talk about things that go bump in the night.

Grease 2!

Tue, 05 Oct 2021 20:25:00 -0400

We're about a month out from the festival, which means it's the most wonderful time of the year...Thirsty Month! Most movie podcasts would choose horror movies for October, but we're not most movie podcasts!

We get parched over Cool Rider Maxwell Caulfield, Michelle Pfeiffer’s Stephanie, and there's a little bit of cottonmouth for Tab Hunter in this, the thirstiest episode of Anomaly Presents to date.

It's time. JCVD. John Woo. Podcastronauts. It's Hard Target. The Most Dangerous Game done New Orleans style by way of Belgium and Hong Kong. It's packed full of great fights, and enough weirdness to keep KP, Meghan and Matt laughing. It's the perfect Van Damme movie.

Blood Conscious Q&A with Timothy Covell and Christina Behnke

Wed, 25 Aug 2021 21:06:00 -0400

Recorded live at the Little Theatre in Rochester, NY, our own Vanessa Cheeks had an opportunity to sit down with writer/director Timothy Covell and producer Christina Behnke and discuss their new film, Blood Conscious.

Highly recommend seeing Blood Conscious (now available on VOD everywhere) before listening for a full experience.

Also, the sound quality is not perfect, but we think the conversation is well worth listening to.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2

Sun, 02 May 2021 19:34:00 -0400

What do you get when you cross slapstick comedy with Tom Savini's trademark splatter, then add Dennis Hopper to the mix?

You get a sequel that's a complete and total 180 from the original! The gritty, creepy vibe from Texas Chainsaw Massacre is dismantled and replaced with a dayglo 80's slasher cartoon.

Listen to KP, Megan and Matt break down one of the wildest sequels of all time, with some bonus fun facts about the Stanley Cup on the side!

The Great Muppet Caper

Sun, 11 Apr 2021 11:59:00 -0400

The Anomaly podcastronauts harness every bit of their chaos Muppet energy to discuss one of their favorite movies of all time.

We debate what makes a muppet, Miss Piggy's alignment, the greatest visual joke ever committed to film, and about a thousand other topics in this one.

Grab your favorite caffeinated beverage and try to keep up.

(The audio is a little janky, we were trying a new recording system. But we think it's still listenable, and adds some muppety magic. Just picture us at the Happiness Hotel.)

Meet the Feebles

Sat, 21 Mar 2020 16:12:00 -0400

Thanks to a generous donation to the Anomaly Film Festival from our friend Eric Resznyak, your loyal Anomaly podcast friends watched Peter Jackson's magnum opus, Meet the Feebles.

It's full of sex, violence, drug abuse and...puppets. It's aggressively stupid and as one of us found out, not really work-safe.

Join us for the finest New Zealand made puppet gross-out show business farce ever made.

Show Note: This was recorded on 3.9.2020, prior to the social distancing/quarantining required for the COVID-19 outbreak. We were all together in one room.

We mention Glenn Danzig's VEROTIKA as our next selection, but we'll be holding off on that until we can all be in one room together again. Hopefully very soon.

In the meantime, Anomaly Presents will continue with all of us in our respective homes, watching movies and talking about them remotely. Stay safe and stay home, everybody.
