From time to time, we here at School of Schlock like to tackle the lesser-known films of classic filmmakers. And other times we watch films made by James Franco. Guess which one we're doing today! In a post-apocalyptic world, can a son find a cure for his mother's disease? Can a robot find love? Join Tom and Ryan as we discuss drug lords, barn-frame towns, and dead oceans. It's our review of Future World!

It's time for a dose of classic schlock in the form of a 50's monster movie. How are a series of murders linked to a carnival hypnotist and a monster that seemingly died out millions of year ago? Join Tom and Ryan as they talk about unscrupulous rich dads, soul transmigration, and lobsters with boobs. It's our review of The She-Creature!

We don't often get to review award-baiting, well-shot historical dramas on this show, but when we do we make sure they contain at least 50% Nicholas Cage. This time an Italian officer falls in love with a young woman on a Greek island in the middle of World War 2. But will the war tear them, or at least parts of them, apart? Join Tom and Ryan as they talk beautiful cinematography, less beautiful accents, and the difficulties of adapting novels to the screen. It's our review of Captain Corelli's Mandolin!
