Episode 17: Harmagedon (1983)

The Brain Palace is back in business after our longest ever hiatus and boy do we have a treat this time.  Zach McCue from Colony Drop joins us for a dissection of one of the more infamous films to come out of the ‘golden’ age’ of Japanese theatrical animation: Rin Taro’s Harmagedon.

Episode 11: It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963)

MW

In this episode, we tackle one of Chris’s favourite comedies often considered a screwball classic: It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Does 60′s slapstick still reign supreme?

Episode 9: The Big Lebowski (1998)

We’re compensating for the rug which comprises of our exceedingly erratic posting schedule with an episode focusing on the Coen Brothers’ cult stoner epic, The Big Lebowski.

Episode 8: Anatomy of Hell (2004)

AOH

At least the title is self explanatory……….ugh. We trudge through ‘auteur’ Catherine Breillat’s torrid exercise in pretentious stupidity, Anatomy of Hell. Warning: Contains epic nerd rage.

Episode 7: The A-Team (2010)

AT

We love it when a plan comes together, which is why this episode is about the 2010 re-jigging of the classic cult television show. Everytime you click that ‘play’ button, Liam Neeson will puff out a big, fat cigar. No comment.

Episode 6: Bridge To Hell (1986)

BTH

(Apologies for the massive delay in uploads, significant technical issues attacked in full force; but we are now back in business.)

The two of us have taken a bridge too far as we tackle exploitation auteur Umberto Lenzi’s unknown WWII action drama Bridge To Hell.
