Producer: Neil Breen

Writer: Neil Breen

Stars: Neil Breen, Viad, Kathy Corpus

Release year: 2016

PROMO: Movie Wars (@MovieWarsPod)

SHOWNOTES: On this year's first installment of Bad Movie December, we are embracing the Breenius yet again as we cover auteur/actor/ex-CIA/messianic entity/skilled hacker with magical powers/artificial intelligence from the future/AI humanoid Neil Breen's fourth feature film, Pass Thru! In what is both his most dreamlike and arguably unhinged film up to this point, Breen yet again astounds us with his unique approach to filmmaking, script beyond mortal comprehension, and showcase of surreal performances. But is there a point where a Neil Breen film becomes just another Neil Breen film? If you enjoy this review, stay tuned for our next Bad Movie December episode on Samurai Cop 1 & 2 (with Geek Freaks), as well as our Holiday Special on Terrifier 3 (with Abyss Gazing) and Post-Holiday Director's Cut! on the Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!

Ep 91: Robert Zemeckis & Bob Gale's Back to the Future (1985) – Collateral Cinema Movie Podcast (SPOILERS)

Title: Back to the Future [Wikipedia] [IMDb]

Director: Robert Zemeckis

Producers: Bob Gale, Neil Canton

Writers: Robert Zemeckis, Bob Gale

Stars: Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Crispin Glover

Release date: July 3, 1985

PROMO: Anime Talk (@AnimeTalk12)

SHOWNOTES: LISTENERS! WE HAVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE FUTURE! On the latest episode of Collateral Cinema, Robert, Beau, and Ash discuss a perennial 80s classic and a quintessential watch for any movie fan: Back to the Future! That's right, the original 1985 film that spawned Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale's media franchise as well as helped establish an entire branch of science fiction cinema. The trilogy as a whole is a highly regarded piece of our collective childhoods, but the first movie in particular stands out for its phenomenal script, excellent performances, and unforgettable soundtrack. Preserved in the National Film Registry and widely considered one of the best films ever made, Back to the Future is a flick we're genuinely surprised we've taken eight seasons to talk about! If you enjoy our take on it, just wait for our takes on the atrocities of Bad Movie December coming soon: Neil Breen's Pass Thru and Samurai Cop 1 & 2. And if you don't, well, I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet, but your kids are gonna love it!
