Cult Following

Batman v Superman v Cult Following. Let's do this, SPOILERCAST-style! Victor of Cult Following posted a spoiler-free review of BvS:DoJ on our CultFollowing.co webpage but now it's time to get to the nitty-gritty. All three of us have seen it and we're ready to talk! The gloves are off and we're not holding back so do we bleed? Join in on the discussion if you have opposing or supportive opinions. Also make sure to check out our simulcast now on YouTube!

Let's talk FUNDAMENTALS. The three of us should be familiar with particular film classics but, for whatever reason or circumstance, has been missed. We, therefore, etch a critique based upon age, perspective, and longevity. Respectively tasked: Young Frankenstein (Victor), The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (Kirby), and House 1977 (Adam).

The Academy Awards have handed out their Oscars and even though Adam has some choice words about what he thinks about award shows, we are doing an Academy Awards Trivia Challenge! How much do you know or could guess about the last 88 Academy Awards? Play along and tally up your scores against Victor and Kirby's results! Share them with us in the comments, if you dare. We also get in some slaphappy weirdness discussions and fantasies revolving around Tim Allen... don't ask, don't judge, just listen. cultfollowing.co Apple Loops used under fair use permissions.

2016 is chock full of big stars and bigger action! We discuss what we are feeling about close to 30 hand-picked films that have our attention... could be for a good reason or a not so good reason. Do you agree or disagree with our opinions? Share your thought in the comments on Soundcloud, iTunes, or join the discussion at cultfollowing.co CultFollowing.co

Other than catching up on what we've been seeing as of recent, we've also been saturated with video store closings. Video Paradise was an almost 3-decade run of video rental and sales. We wax nostalgic on our favorite finds, missed opportunities, and optimistic re-releases in a very in-depth and concise episode of Cult Following. cultfollowing.co

2015 is complete and we have gathered our respective favorites to share. What do we agree are the top dogs? Where do we differ and when do the gloves come off for a heated debate? It's all in good company and fun so listen, share, contribute, and follow! cultfollowing.co

Happy 2016! We hope everyone had a great holiday. We're back for the New Year with a Cult Bracket. We take 64 cult entertainment media and pit them head-to-head until there is one winner!

Have you felt it? Well, we have! The Force Awakens has been released upon the majority of the world so, LET'S DISCUSS! This episode is FULL of SPOILERS so if you haven't seen the movie or haven't been exposed to major plot points it's probably best to come back after you've seen it, you'll thank us later. Did all of us like it? Did we begin to poke holes in the plot? Highlights and disappointments? Listen to find out, and comment to share your opinion. Adam Rutkowski, Joshua T Ruth, and Mark Doebler are in the podcast arena, once again, for this round of A Cinema Fantastico Podcast. cultfollowing.co

Do you like money? Yeah, well, so do video/movie production companies! When a movie such as Pacific Rim or Avengers: Age of Ultron is set for theatrical release, there are independent production companies looking to capitalize on its momentum. Have you run across the $5 DVD bin at Walmart? Did you notice a movie cover that looked like Pacific Rim but was called Atlantic Rim? How about Avengers: Grimm? That is what we discuss in episode 26 as Mockbusters! When is it a genre as opposed to a direct rip-off? When did it start and has it ever transcended the original source? www.cultfollowing.co

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the undisputed giant of 2015. I, Adam Rutkowski of Cult Following and Cult Classics, have recruited a couple of my most favorite Arizona die-hard Star Wars fans: Joshua Ruth and Mark Doebler to discuss not only what we think about what could be in The Force Awakens but also discuss what could be a setup for future franchises. Are we gun-shy or are we on-board? Are the Knights of Ren on the side you think or not? We ask the hard questions in this first Cinema Fantastico Podcast.

Total Recall? Basic Instinct? Starship Troopers? Or how about Showgirls? Oh boy, you're in for a treat! Dutch-born Paul Verhoeven dominated American sex and violence on-sceen during the 90's.

Then you'll find out what what each of us are doing this Halloween, the answer may or may not surprise you!

Many surprising things are revealed as we present episode 21 of Cult Following! Listen, rate, comment, and SHARE! cultfollowing.co

This is the episode where we do something a little bit different. How would we recast a 2014 blockbuster if it were made back in 1994? Who will we pick? Why did we pick our recast? Is it because of the recast director? Is it because of the lead character? Is it from the corporate cash-cow perspective? Listen and let us know who you'd choose! Let us know if you like our selections or if you would go with someone else! We also catch up on what we've been up to for the last few weeks and dig in to the Disney Frozen phenomenon. cultfollowing.co

This episode was recorded before Wes Craven's passing.

Geeks and nerds unite! cultfollowing.co

On this episode we invite a fourth co-host to sit in and talk movies that are about or inspired by video games. When it comes to video game movies Joshua T. Ruth brings a well-rounded knowledge and enthusiasm to the table. It's no surprise that he's a guest co-host as we dig deeper and deeper into the mechanics of video games for the silver screen. We're just in time for an anticipated Cult Classics AZ screening of The Last Starfighter! Join us! Like, comment, and share! www.cultfollowing.co www.cultclassicsaz.com

In light of 2014 and (so far) 2015 raking in some serious Hollywood "blockbuster" deficits worse than the deadbeat dads making excuses to Judge Judy, we as fans of cinema examine the past while looking toward the future of the how and why of Big Budget Box Office Failures. As always, we catch up on what we have been doing since episode 16 as well as show much love and sadness for the premature passing of Roddy Piper. Come with us as we laugh, debate, and shed a tear or two for our biggest show yet! cultfollowing.co
