Messed Up Movies

Today Griffey and Dandino enter the alien filled District 9. They discuss the films use of powerful use of imagery of insectoid aliens to highlight how humans often dehumanize entire populations, the horror of the oppressor becoming the oppressed, and the films nightmarish body horror leading to realizations in the audiences mind. This film is a blend of sci-fi and reality that will hit home for audiences in a truly Messed Up fashion.

Today Griffey and Dandino blur the line between man and machine in Demon Seed. They discuss the films blend of technological and exploitative horror, the focus on man as the evil ghost in the machine, and Proteus's insane plan for the future of his AI mega brain.

Synopsis: A scientist creates Proteus--an organic super computer with artificial intelligence which becomes obsessed with human beings, and in particular the creator's wife.
Starring: Julie Christie, Fritz Weaver, Gerrit Graham
Directed by Donald Cammell

It's New Movie Monday! Today, we find ourselves in a tournament of endurance as we fight our way through a conversation about a movie that is far more video game than film. Griffey, Heath and Sam conjure their special powers of bs to analyze the merits of Mortal Kombat II, how it compares to past iterations of the franchise, the lore it invokes from its arcade origins and ask why it was packaged as an R-rated ride instead of a movie aimed at kids.

Synopsis: The fan favorite champions -- now joined by Johnny Cage himself -- are pitted against one another in the ultimate battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn that threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders.
Starring: Adeline Rudolph, Karl Urban, Martyn Ford
Directed by Simon McQuoid
