This week on the podcast, we head to Charles Band Land and the 1980s, for a curious post-apocalyptical sci fi horror and Demi Moore’s uh…breakout role?

Dr Paul Dean was compelled to create a bio-weapon for an evil corporation on behalf of the mysterious group, The Merchants. Once he realizes the error of his ways, he tries to destroy it…BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.

This week on the podcast, a 2019 Aussie production titled, The Furies.

This is a survivalist/dystopian horror, occupying Battle Royale / Rollerball territory, but a hell of a lot gorier. Billed as Halloween meets The Hunger Games (wholly inaccurately) this one focuses on women who wake up in strange black coffins, only to find themselves in a fight to the death in a mining town hellscape in NSW, Australia.

There’s a harrowing atmosphere, to be sure, but things unravel toward the end, an unfortunately all too common occurrence in horror.

Tune in, check it out!

On this episode of the Really Awful Movies Podcast, a brief detour and foray into post-apocalyptic wasteland movies.

Some movies, like Jaws and Mad Max, are so popular, well made and influential that they spawn a host of imitators. In the case of the latter, it’s even got its own name: Maxploitation.

There is quite a laundry list of Mad Max ripoffs, of which Exterminators of the Year 3000 is one. Hell, the poster art even shamelessly admits it: “meet the new breed of road warriors.” Brazen!

These movies are always so much fun, and aren’t too taxing on the ol’ noggin.
