Screening Roomers, if you like your midnight movies weird... ponderous... and featuring a shirtless Sean Connery in thigh-high leather boots, ponytail and a red space diaper... then boy do we have the film for you - 1974's ZARDOZ! A heady sci-fi mind trip that is guaranteed to confound and confuse, but also tantalize and titillate while defying all expectation, logic and reason. And joining us this week is the renegade writing team of Kevin Burke and Doc Wyatt, who are determined to meditate on level 2 about the film in the hopes of making some sense out of all this 1970's sci-fi nonsense. ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN!!!

Screening Roomers, you wanted the best... you got the best... a special Tribute and Halloween Holdover Episode featuring the biggest rock band in the world - KISS! So, it's time to rock'n'roll all night and party everyday as FM and his guest, writer/producer/director and the creator of the original Celebrity Death Match on MTV - Eric Fogel - head to the Magic Mountain amusement park circa 1978 to ride the rollercoaster of the most important TV movie ever made as the rock band KISS stars in their only feature film - KISS MEETS THE PHANTOM OF THE PARK! And to make it extra special - we honor the memory of KISS lead guitarist, Ace Frehley. This one's for you, Space Ace. ACK!

We know Predator: Badlands ripped the spine out of the box office this past weekend... smashing records and thrilling audiences alike (congrats!)... but can recent franchise success boost the original 1987 PREDATOR film to take the Tuesday Morning Screening Room championship belt - Unstoppable Galactic Lifeform Division - from its oldest and most hated rival - 1979's ALIEN! Who knows?!? So, joining FM this month for every bite and scratch in a 10-round, no-holds-barred cinematic smackdown of crazy film-relevant categories is someone that knows a little something about the sweet science of deathmatching - director/writer/producer, Eric Fogel - the creator of the original Celebrity Deathmatch for MTV! FM & Eric hope to answer a question that not even two AvP films could answer... but remember, Screening Roomers, no matter who wins - WE ALL LOSE!!!

With PREDATOR: BADLANDS hitting theaters this week... it's time to celebrate one of the most iconic movie monsters in film history and one of our favorite sci-fi/action/horror franchises ever in the TMSR - The Predator and THE PREDATOR MOVIE FRANCHISE! And joining FM this week to tackle all six Predator films... plus two Alien vs Predator films... is TV & comic book writer, Jordan Morris, recent scribe of the new Marvel Comics Anthology - Predator: Black, White & Blood! Well, should you listen, Screening Roomers? To quote Ah-nuld from the '87 original... "C'MON! DO IT NOW!"

Screening Roomers, we have one last Halloween treat for you before we wrap up our month of horror-related episodes... a midnight movie slasher about a midnight movie slasher... a forgotten little gem that might also be one of the better meta-horror-comedies of the last 30-years - 1991's POPCORN! And joining FM in the Screaming Room to help make some new Popcorn '91 fans and discuss his experience on the film is Popcorn's Pvt. Corky Bivens - actor Thom Adcox-Hernandez. Happy Halloween, Screaming Roomers!

Hey, Screening Roomers, have you ever heard of 1980's FADE TO BLACK? Probably not. Should you? Definitely yes! And actor Yuri Lowenthal joins FM in the Screaming Room to make the case to why this is such a criminally underrated Cable Box cult classic and single-handedly the best horror-comedy made in 1980 about a disturbed young man obsessed with old Hollywood films who enacts his revenge through highly theatrical kill fantasies starring Dennis Christopher.

Help us... Help us.... as this month's MOVIE DEATHMATCH has a special Halloween season Creature Feature twist!!! As we pit three revered Creature Classics (1951's THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD, 1958's THE FLY & 1958's THE BLOB &) against their spirited and spunky Remakes (1982's THE THING, 1986's THE FLY & 1988's THE BLOB) - in a 10-round, no-holds-barred, tag-team cinematic smackdown to see who will win the coveted Tuesday Morning Screening Room championship belt - and claim Overall Movie Concept Supremacy! And joining FM for every bite, scratch and evisceration is someone that knows a little something about the sweet science of deathmatching - director/writer/producer, Eric Fogel - the creator of the original Celebrity Deathmatch for MTV... with our special guest referee - actor/impressionist, Piotr Michael! WHICH TEAM WILL REIGN SUPREME???!!! WHO KNOWS... but we do know this... to quote Geena Davis in The Fly '86 - "be afraid... be very afraid..."

1966's WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS... is it a sequel... a reboot... a based on the comedy of... just what the (bleep) is it! Well, whether it is in fact the follow-up to 1965's FRANKENSTEIN VS BARAGON (aka FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD) or not - both films remain two of our favorite monster mashes! So, this week our resident Kaiju expert, writer/author Todd Ludy, returns to the Screening Room to help FM solve this Kaiju conundrum once and for all... and hopefully not break their brains in the process.
