TOTAL MASSACRE

TOTAL REQUEST MASSACRE month continues with our good friend Brian Smawley's pick CASSHERN, billed as the first live-action anime adaptation! It's, uh, a lot, as Rowan and Kev join Chef Lu Bu to talk about cool masks, genocide, WWII guilt, adapting...

It's a Patreon request special as TOTAL MASSACRE takes on 1998's DARK CITY! Is this the most 90s film in existence? Who is even the protagonist here? Is it even really science fiction? Wait, that leading man isn't a time-traveling Oscar Isaac? Carli,...

2003's PAYCHECK came out at the nadir of John Woo's and Ben Affleck's career, and it was nearly universally panned. Was that fair? TOTAL MASSACRE says no! Mostly! Is it a secret gem, up there with MINORITY REPORT and BLADE RUNNER? uhhh....also no....

All these episodes....like tears in the rain. Rowan, Kev, and special guest Jon Arthur check out the programming of the seminal science fiction BLADE RUNNER for Dickcember. It's a film we all respect but none of us truly love, which we try to puzzle...

Dickcember opens with a nasty little 1990s b-movie that leaves the our panelists a bit torn up: SCREAMERS, starring Peter Weller. Rowan, Carli, Kev, and special guest Jack McDonald (also the creator of our intro!) get a lil' rowdy talking matte...

Steven Spielberg month on TOTAL MASSACRE concludes with MINORITY REPORT, which also kicks off Philip K Dickcember -- it's a double whammy! It's also a double whammy for Steven Spielberg, who manages to balance a taut sci-fi thriller with a bouncy,...

Spielberg month continues with one of the most divisive films we've seen, Spielberg and Kubrick's ambitious, wildly atonal, mesmerizing 2001 film AI. Good? Bad? Treacly? Cynical? Hard science fiction? Metaphor for love? Herald of the robot apocalypse?...

Alien Invasion month concludes, and Spielberg November begins, with CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, an incredibly influential film for several of our most beloved Fox shows of the 1990s, although not Melrose Place. Is this a dry run at other films...

Alien Invasion month continues with TOTAL MASSACRE heading to Scotland for a little sexy creepiness with Scarlett Johansson and 2013's acclaimed science fiction film UNDER THE SKIN. "This whole thing smacks of gender!" Rowan Kaiser proclaims, and...

TOTAL MASSACRE is back! In science fiction form! We've rebranded to a science fiction podcast, promoted Carli and Kev to co-host/regular panelist/organizers, gotten a new intro and art, and decided to explore a derelict spaceship in order to make sure...
