Cult Cinema Circle

This week, we’re shedding one single, sexy tear for Cry-Baby (1990), John Waters’ delightfully deranged teen musical where bad boys ride motorcycles, good girls lose their minds, and everyone’s got more hair grease than sense. We’re talking prison chic, awkward tongue kisses, and a world where courtroom scenes turn into doo-wop numbers. Johnny Depp smolders, Ricki Lake twirls, and Traci Lords steals every scene she struts through. So grab your leather jacket, pout like your life depends on it, and join us for a wild ride into Waters’ world of love, lust, and one seriously committed tear duct.----Intro/Outro Music: "Phantom Fun" by Jonathan Boyle----Show E-Mail: cultcinemacircle@gmail.com----Follow Cult Cinema Circle on Instagram, Bluesky, and Letterboxd

It’s April 1st, and we’re celebrating the only slasher movie where the real killer might just be… vibes?Join me and my special guest, Shawn Williams, as we revisit April Fool’s Day (1986), the horror movie that asks, “What if Clue, but with hotter people and way more shoulder pads?”We’re talking booby traps, bizarre accents, mystery mullets, and one twist ending that had ’80s audiences either applauding—or flipping tables. Is it a slasher? Is it a comedy? Is it just one long prank gone too far? Grab your champagne and your trust issues, because this island getaway is anything but relaxing.Intro/Outro Music: "Phantom Fun" by Jonathan Boyle----Show E-Mail: cultcinemacircle@gmail.com----Follow Shawn on InstagramFollow Cult Cinema Circle on Instagram, Bluesky, and Letterboxd

This week, we’re infiltrating the highly classified, absolutely ridiculous world of D.E.B.S., the 2004 spy spoof where top-secret agents are recruited via… standardized testing? Join me as I salute the absurdity of crime-fighting schoolgirls in mini skirts, Lucy Diamond’s gay villain era, and a love story that somehow bloomed in the middle of a laser gun fight. I'm asking the tough questions: Who funds this academy? Why is there zero adult supervision? And most importantly—where can we get a pleated plaid uniform of our own? Pack your eyeliner, sharpen your sass, and prepare to suspend every ounce of disbelief.Intro/Outro Music: "Phantom Fun" by Jonathan Boyle----Show E-Mail: cultcinemacircle@gmail.com----Follow Cult Cinema Circle on Instagram, Bluesky, and Letterboxd

In this episode, me and my buddy Mark J. Parker are diving headfirst into the chaotic, punk-fueled world of Tank Girl (1995)! Based on the cult comic series, this dystopian sci-fi action-comedy follows Lori Petty as the rebellious, tank-driving heroine taking on a corrupt megacorporation in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With wild visuals, a killer soundtrack, and a supporting cast that includes Naomi Watts, Ice-T as a mutant kangaroo, and Malcolm McDowell as the villainous Kesslee, Tank Girl is an anarchic ride like no other. We’ll explore the film’s production, its reception, and why it remains a beloved cult classic. Grab your water rations and buckle up—it’s going to be a bumpy ride!Article About Tank GirlCLICK HERE----Intro/Outro Music: "Phantom Fun" by Jonathan BoyleShow E-Mail: cultcinemacircle@gmail.com----Follow Mark on InstagramFollow Release Date Rewind on Instagram and YoutubeFollow Cult Cinema Circle on Instagram, Bluesky, and Letterboxd

Buckle up and keep an eye out for signs—this week, we’re diving into Final Destination (2000), the horror classic that made us all fear plane rides, highways, and even showering. We’ll revisit the film’s iconic death scenes, discuss its eerie premonition-fueled premise, and break down why Death itself is the ultimate villain. Plus, we explore how Final Destination kickstarted a franchise of elaborate, Rube Goldberg-esque demises that kept audiences on edge for years.
