In this episode, we take a prehistoric plunge into The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas (2000), the flashy, goofy prequel to the 1994 live-action original. With a brand-new cast and a wild ride through young love, dino-driven limos, and Vegas-style shenanigans, this film aimed to show us how Fred and Wilma—and Barney and Betty—first found love in the Stone Age.But did this bedrock reboot rock our world or crumble like a fossil in the desert sun? We're digging into the casting switch-ups, the cartoon-to-live-action challenges, the bizarre creative choices, and why this movie is somehow both a time capsule and a fever dream.Grab your bronto-burgers and your rockin' Elvis impersonators—because it's Viva Rock Vegas, baby!

This week, we're stirring the pot with Gossip (2000)—a deliciously chaotic college thriller where one little rumor blows up way bigger than anyone expected. It's got hot young stars (hello, James Marsden, Lena Headey, Kate Hudson), questionable ethics, and enough plot twists to make your head spin.We're breaking down all the wild turns, the early-2000s fashion choices, and the film's surprisingly sharp take on manipulation and media. Is it a cautionary tale? A cult classic in disguise? Or just an excuse to watch beautiful people make terrible decisions? Let's find out.Grab your lattes and your lie detectors—it's gossip time.Intro/Outro Music: "Phantom Fun" by Jonathan Boyle----Show E-Mail: cultcinemacircle@gmail.com----Follow Cult Cinema Circle on Instagram, Bluesky, and Letterboxd Hosted on Acast.

This week, we're strapping on our scrunchies and doing synchronized backflips into the gloriously neon world of Girls Just Want to Have Fun (1985). Join us as we relive the tale of rebellious Catholic school girls, televised dance-offs, and the eternal struggle against buzzkill parents who just don't understand the rhythm. We're talking Sarah Jessica Parker before Sex and the City, Helen Hunt in peak “my accessories are wild” form, and a plot that screams, “What if Footloose and glitter had a baby?” It's cheesy, it's chaotic, it's got choreography—and yes, we're judging every dance move like it's 1985.Intro/Outro Music: "Phantom Fun" by Jonathan Boyle----Show E-Mail: cultcinemacircle@gmail.com----Follow Cult Cinema Circle on Instagram, Bluesky, and Letterboxd Hosted on Acast.

This week, we're shedding one single, sexy tear for Cry-Baby (1990), John Waters' delightfully deranged teen musical where bad boys ride motorcycles, good girls lose their minds, and everyone's got more hair grease than sense. We're talking prison chic, awkward tongue kisses, and a world where courtroom scenes turn into doo-wop numbers. Johnny Depp smolders, Ricki Lake twirls, and Traci Lords steals every scene she struts through. So grab your leather jacket, pout like your life depends on it, and join us for a wild ride into Waters' world of love, lust, and one seriously committed tear duct.----Intro/Outro Music: "Phantom Fun" by Jonathan Boyle----Show E-Mail: cultcinemacircle@gmail.com----Follow Cult Cinema Circle on Instagram, Bluesky, and Letterboxd Hosted on Acast.
