  • Killbots (aka Chopping Mall Redux) (1986)
    May 17 2022

    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.
