ANTHONY "CITRIC" CAMPOS: From East L.A. Rap to King of the Hill - The Full Story   This week on Reza Rifts, host Keith Reza sits down with one of the most versatile and underrated talents in Hollywood Anthony "Citric" Campos. Actor. Stand-up comedian. East L.A. hip-hop legend. And the voice behind Emilio on the King of the Hill revival.   Citric's story is one of the most real, raw, and inspiring journeys in entertainment. Before the TV credits and film roles, he was just a kid from East Los Angeles hitting open mics, rapping at house parties, and hustling his way into a world that wasn't built for him. In this conversation, he holds nothing back.   We talk about how the nickname "Citric" was born, what it was like working alongside Christian Bale on Harsh Times, getting cast in the cult classic Idiocracy, the experience of voicing a character on one of America's most beloved animated shows, the very real challenges of Latino representation in Hollywood, and so much more.   If you've ever felt like you were grinding in the dark with no one watching this episode is for you. ⏱️ CHAPTERS   0:00  Intro & Welcome   1:20  Meet Anthony Citric Campos & The Home Studio   2:20  The Origin of the Nickname "Citric"   3:10  East L.A.

During her tenure as The New Yorker's television critic, Emily Nussbaum famously railed against ranking the year's best shows; she once wrote a piece entitled “I Hate Top Ten Lists.” But naming her favorite series of all time is an easier proposition, and the honor goes to a little-known Canadian production from the early two-thousands that dramatized the colorful characters and commercial struggles of a fictional Shakespearean theatre festival. In the final episode of this summer's Critics at Large interview series, Alex Schwartz talks with Nussbaum about her love of “Slings & Arrows,” which pioneered a complex balance of comedy and drama that would eventually become a hallmark of prestige television. Today, Hollywood showrunners including David Simon, the creator of “The Wire,” sing its praises—and yet it remains largely overlooked by audiences. Nussbaum, who's lately been writing as the magazine's theatre critic, is on a mission to change that.  “The history of TV is the confusion between whether something is good and whether it's popular and commercial,” Nussbaum says. “ ‘Slings & Arrows' is an example of a show that is the best show—regardless of how many people watch it.”  Read, watch, and listen with the critics: “Cue the Sun,” by Emily Nussbaum“Slings and Arrows” (2003-2006)“Hamlet,” by William Shakespeare“Macbeth,” by William Shakespeare“King Lear,” by William Shakespeare“30 Rock” (2006-13)“Orange Is the New Black” (2013-19)“Call My Agent!” (2015-19)“The Studio” (2025—)“Next to Normal” (2025)“Succession” (2018-2023) New episodes drop every Thursday.

In the second in a series of Critics at Large interview episodes devoted to the topic of cult classics, Naomi Fry talks with the New Yorker staff writer Hannah Goldfield about how that designation applies in the culinary realm. The two discuss specialty ingredients that appear on menus for only the briefest of moments, out-of-print cookbooks that go for hundreds of dollars on eBay, and once niche restaurants that have blown up in the TikTok era. Then, Goldfield makes her case for the particular staying power of Judy Rodgers's “Zuni Café Cookbook,” which has influenced countless chefs and food writers—including Samin Nosrat, whose  “Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat” immediately soared to the top of best-seller lists upon its release, in 2017. “The Zuni Café Cookbook,” though less accessible, has attracted such illustrious devotees for a reason. “It's text-heavy. It's huge in size. It's a bit intimidating at first,” Goldfield says. “But if you are interested in cooking—or if you have a curiosity about it, even—it's an incredible resource.”  Read, watch, and listen with the critics: “Heartburn,” by Nora Ephron “The Joy of Cooking,” by Irma S. Rombauer “Cooking with Love,” by Ruth Sirkis “The Surprising Endurance of Martha Stewart's ‘Entertaining,' ” by Hannah Goldfield (The New Yorker) “Entertaining,” by Martha Stewart “The Zuni Café Cookbook,” by Judy Rodgers “Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat,” by Samin Nosrat New episodes drop every Thursday.

When it dropped in January of 1997, Camp Lo's “Uptown Saturday Night” thrilled some listeners and confounded others. On the first in a series of Critics at Large interview episodes devoted to resurfacing beloved cult classics, Vinson Cunningham talks with Hanif Abdurraqib, a contributing writer for The New Yorker and a diehard fan of the Camp Lo project. Abdurraqib describes “Uptown Saturday Night,” which leaned on Blaxploitation tropes to paint a strikingly cinematic picture of New York City, as “essentially a heist film” unto itself. Together, they discuss the album's lukewarm reception at the time, and why its creative approach to storytelling seemed to land on deaf ears. One explanation is that the hip-hop marketplace of the era was increasingly demanding that musicians pick a lane: underground or mainstream, socially conscious or unapologetically opulent. “ ‘Uptown Saturday Night' got lost in that because it didn't really have a foothold in either world,” Abdurraqib says. “At a time when a lot of these guys with underground roots were bending to the hyper-commercialization of hip-hop, Camp Lo never changed who they were.” Read, watch, and listen with the critics: Camp Lo's “Uptown Saturday Night” Fugees' “The Score” “Uptown Saturday Night” (1974) “Midnight Express” (1978) “The Black Connection” (1974)Dynasty's “Adventures in the Land of Music” Elliott Wilson's review of “Uptown Saturday Night” (The Source) Slum Village's “Fan-Tas-Tic (Vol. 1)” Puff Daddy's “No Way Out” Pete Rock and Camp Lo's “80 Blocks from Tiffany's” Camp Lo's “Black Hollywood” Jay-Z's “American Gangster” Wyclef Jean's “The Carnival” New episodes drop every Thursday.

John is joined by Hen and Louis a.k.a. Joy Anonymous, to talk about how they wrote, recorded and produced a selection of tracks across their back catalog.  Joy Anonymous formed in 2018 with the aim of spreading joy through music and live performance. Their South Bank pop-up shows during the pandemic brought widespread attention, with recordings from these performances featuring on their debut album ‘Human Again' (2021). Since then, they have released ‘Cult Classics' (2023), collaborated with numerous artists, and continued to release new music, including their stripped-back ‘Source' versions. Their third record is set for release in the coming months. Sitting down together at Baltic Studios, the trio discuss getting inspired by the rhythm of spoken voices and their techniques for making dance music sound uniquely human, their secrets for building a club banger, how playing live with Fred again and Ezra Collective influenced tracks in the studio and much more, plus they answer questions from our Patreons!

Send us Fan Mailin this episode, Annie and Mr. A discuss their first time seeing the Paul Verhoeven directed (RoboCop, Total Recall, Basic Instinct) NC-17 rated film starring Elizabeth Berkeley (Saved by the Bell), Gina Gershon (Cocktail, Face/Off, Bound, Blockers, Riverdale), and Kyle MacLachlan (Blue Velvet, Dune, Twin Peaks, Fallout). To this point, it remains the only wide-release mainstream film with an NC-17 rating.

Send us Fan MailTwenty-five years after its release, GYPSY 83 has become something rare in independent cinema: a film that grew more meaningful with time.On this special episode of The Fixate & Binge Podcast, I am joined by writer/director Todd Stephens and actor Birkett Turton to celebrate the enduring legacy of a film that has evolved from an overlooked independent release into a beloved cult classic.Todd Stephens has long been recognized as a trailblazer in Queer Cinema, creating deeply personal stories centered around identity, belonging, friendship, and the search for connection. With GYPSY 83, he introduced audiences to an unforgettable road movie about two young people discovering themselves, finding confidence, and creating their own chosen family.We revisit the making of the 2001 film starring Sara Rue as Gypsy and Birkett Turton as Clive, exploring the incredible chemistry between its two leads, the challenges of bringing the story to life, and how a movie that was not initially embraced by critics has gone on to inspire generations of fans.Todd and Birkett share behind-the-scenes memories from production, reflect on the film's cultural impact 25 years later, and discuss why GYPSY 83 continues to resonate with audiences searching for stories about acceptance, individuality, and finding your place in the world.Before welcoming my guests, I also have a little fun discussing the early backlash toward Christopher Nolan's upcoming THE ODYSSEY and offering a playful message to those already writing off a film before they've even seen it.This episode is a celebration of independent filmmaking, Queer Cinema history, and the rare films that become more powerful as the years go by.Thank you for listening!

A cult classic movie often wasn't a mainstream hit upon release. But over time, a devoted committed subculture grew around the movie with the belief, nay, the knowledge that this was a masterpiece movie.  Cult classics like Elvira Mistress of the Dark, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, El Topo, Eraserhead, The Big Lebowski, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, may never get the mainstream recognition or popularity of an Avatar or Sinners but to its fervent audience, the cult classic is as beloved as great literature. Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill explores what makes a cult classic movie. And what we, as movie lovers and movie makers, can learn from them.

As a MaxFunDrive milestone goal, we set the challenge that if we got enough new/upgrading/joining supporters of Maximum Film!, one of those folks would get to pick a movie for us to do an episode on. Well, thanks to supporters like Molly, we hit that goal, and this episode is the result: PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE (one of Molly's faves) is a 1974 rock musical fantasmagoria from early in writer/director Brian DePalma's career. It's box-office flop-turned cult classic. And it is heavily reliant on the dubious cultural power of songwriter and actor Paul Williams.   As if this episode needed to be MORE special, we also mark the mid-year by naming some of our favorite films of the year so far.

Horror history spirals into paranoia and infection this week—from The Thing's frozen body horror to 28 Days Later's rage-virus chaos, The Omen's cursed bloodline, 1408's haunted hotel nightmare, and Quake's gothic digital terror. Henrique explores how June 22–28 birthed some of horror's most influential outbreak and supernatural films, dissecting what made them landmarks in horror legends and why they still feel dangerously relevant today.Inside this episode:• 1408 turns one hotel room into a psychological pressure cooker, trapping a skeptical writer inside a space that studies him, wounds him, and refuses to let him leave.• The Omen gives the evil-child movie one of its classiest and creepiest landmarks, with the Antichrist hiding behind privilege, elegance, and a terrifyingly calm little smile.• 28 Days Later drags outbreak horror into the 21st century with empty London streets, sprinting infected, digital grime, and the terrifying idea that civilization can collapse almost overnight.• Quake opens a slipgate into gothic castles, wet tunnels, shambling monsters, Lovecraftian dread, and a diseased industrial soundscape that helped reshape horror-tinged gaming.• The Deep-Cut Spotlight goes to The Thing, John Carpenter's 1982 alien paranoia nightmare about imitation, isolation, mistrust, Rob Bottin's legendary effects, and the terrifying question of who is still human.Plus: a horror birthday roll featuring Bruce Campbell, Peter Lorre, Isabelle Adjani, and Kathy Bates, a creepy look at how horror teaches us to distrust the obvious, and a weekly recommendation for Twilight Zone: The Movie, the complicated 1983 anthology film that brought Rod Serling's nightmare world to the big screen.From haunted rooms and Antichrist children to rage-infected streets, gothic gaming nightmares, Antarctic isolation, alien imitation, blood tests, body horror, and the cold collapse of trust, this week proves horror history can make monsters out of places, people, memories, machines, and the person standing right beside you.

This week on Big Trouble Little Podcast, we kick off Post-Apocalypse Month with The Blood of Heroes.Topics include:⚔️ Understanding the rules of Jugger

Episode 158: Return of the Living Dead 3 — We're kicking off our "Too Hot to Rot" triple feature with Brian Yuzna's gory, surprisingly romantic zombie classic. Joined by special guest Steven from The Nightmare Trials podcast, we dig into the practical effects work of Steve Johnson, the franchise's tonal shift from satire to tragic love story, and why these unkillable, conscious zombies are some of the most genuinely unsettling in the genre.

This week on The Tracklist, Daron and Chris are strapping in for the loudest, most ridiculous, and somehow most earnest rock soundtrack ever committed to film: This Is Spinal Tap (1984).Rob Reiner's mockumentary masterpiece didn't just parody '80s heavy metal — it became it. The music in this film is the joke AND the heart, and that's a genuinely hard thing to pull off. From Big Bottom to Hell Hole to the haunting, Stonehenge-adjacent opus Stonehenge, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer wrote and performed every track themselves — and somehow made songs that are both hysterically bad and undeniably catchy.We're breaking down the score, the songs, the performances, and asking the real question: Is this a Cult Classic?Follow us on Instagram: @thedaronjenkins | @chrissaunders_music | @tracklistshowRep the show and grab some Tracklist merch at tracklist-shop.fourthwall.comIf you enjoy the episode, leave us a rating, subscribe, and follow the show wherever you listen — it means the world and helps more people find us!

It was fated to happen sooner or later. For the third season finale, we highlight the debuts of directors given their start by the outrageous Troma Productions! James Gunn got his start in the industry with 1996's Tromeo and Juliet. Then, before co-creating MST3K, Jim Mallon gave the world 1987's Blood Hook. Finally, Trey Parker was finding his voice with 1993's Cannibal! The Musical. A shpadoinkle day, indeed.Email: info@channel-37.comTwitter: @WHXN37

We wrap up our IT'S VOODOO, BABY triple feature with Wes Craven's voodoo-doomed descent into near-death delirium.

This week on Geekstorians, Dave from Geektown looks at three films that did not behave the way Hollywood expected.‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show' arrived as a box office failure before midnight audiences turned it into a ritual. ‘Blade Runner' opened to confusion, studio interference and mixed reactions before becoming one of science fiction's most debated landmarks. And ‘The Big Lebowski' drifted into cinemas as a modest Coen Brothers oddity before fans turned The Dude into something far bigger, stranger, and, somehow, semi-spiritual.This is not a story about films that were secretly massive hits all along. It is about what happens when something strange, difficult or badly timed finds the people who need it later. Through late-night screenings, VHS, cable, DVD, festivals, quotes, costumes and arguments that refuse to die, these films became more than movies. They became communities.Season Two of Geekstorians has been about things that did not go to plan. This episode asks what happens when failure is not the end of the story, but the beginning of the cult.Presented by Dave from Geektown.For more on TV, film, gaming and geek culture, head to Geektown.co.uk, and check out Geektown Radio for the latest entertainment news, reviews and UK air dates.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/geektown.

WAMU speaks with documentary filmmaker Jeff Krulik about the 40th anniversary of his documentary "Heavy Metal Parking Lot" - which focuses on Judas Priest fans outside a concert at the Capitol Centre in 1986.

1990 was a strange, transitional year for horror… and a massively formative one for us.In this episode of the Gutted Horror Podcast, we dig into the BEST HORROR MOVIES OF 1990 — the movies that shaped our taste in horror, warped our brains at an early age, and sent us down the path of becoming lifelong genre obsessives. From studio horror classics to overlooked video store oddities, we're talking slashers, creature features, psychological horror, cult weirdness, and forgotten gems that deserve way more attention.Some of these movies became horror canon. Others disappeared into the void of VHS shelves and late-night cable… but all of them left a mark.

Returning guest Don Campbell joins us as we meet Charles Lee Ray in episode 156, tackling Tom Holland's 1988 classic Child's Play as the second entry in the "It's Voodoo Baby" triple feature. We break down all eight of Chucky's major reveals, from the voodoo soul transfer that opens the film to the battery scene confrontation between Karen Barclay and the Good Guy doll, to the fiery finale in the apartment. Along the way we explore Don Mancini's original "Blood Buddy" script, the Cabbage Patch doll craze that inspired the film, the raised soundstage set and practical puppet work that brought Chucky to life, and why Catherine Hicks' performance makes Child's Play as much a story about a struggling single mother as it is a slasher. The episode closes with our favorite reveals ranking, real monsters, and a round of "would you survive Chucky?"  Next up: Wes Craven's The Serpent and the Rainbow closes out the triple feature.

Mike shares what he believes to be the Top Cult Classics that defined the 2000s. These are the movies that either confused audiences, got dumped by studios, or flat-out failed at the box office… but later became beloved cult classics through DVD, cable, streaming, memes, and word-of-mouth. Mike talks to Emile Hirsch who talks about his love of the video store as a kid, landing the role of Speed Racer, working with his heroes, getting an early start as a child actor and his roles in Lords of Dogtown and Into the Wild. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Mortal Kombat 2. Johnny Cage joins other fighters in the ultimate, no-holds-barred battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn, a powerful tyrant who threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders. Mike shares why unfortunately it wasn’t better than part 1, Karl Urban’s lackluster performance and why it feels like an off brand Avengers Infinity War. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about The Odyssey directed by Christopher Nolan. Odysseus, king of Ithaca, embarks on a perilous journey to return home after the Trojan War. Mike shares why he is now hype for the movie after he initially thought it was going to be a snooze fest. New Episodes Every Monday!

This week's pick comes from Patreon supporter Graeme—clearly a man who woke up and chose absolute emotional devastation. Directed by Shane Meadows, Dead Man's Shoes (2004) is a raw, low-budget British drama that has steadily grown into a cult favourite. Shot primarily in and around Matlock, the film was made on a modest budget estimated at around £723,000. Meadows co-wrote the screenplay with Paddy Considine, who also stars in the lead role. The production leaned heavily on improvisation, giving the performances an unsettling realism that sets it apart from more polished revenge thrillers.Upon release, the film was praised for its intensity, authenticity, and grounded portrayal of working-class life in the Midlands. Toby Kebbell also received acclaim for his emotionally charged supporting performance. Though not a major box office hit, Dead Man's Shoes built its reputation through word of mouth, critical appreciation, and home media circulation—firmly cementing its place as one of the most respected British films of the 2000s.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISHe's been away… but now he's back.In a quiet Derbyshire town, a lone figure returns with unfinished business—and a stare that makes hardened men nervous. The locals don't recognise him… not yet. But they will. Oh, they will.Because this isn't just a homecoming. It's a reckoning. And as the tension tightens like a noose, one thing becomes clear: you can run, you can hide… but you can't escape what's coming.FUN FACTSThe film was shot in just three weeks, adding to its raw, documentary-like feelMuch of the dialogue was improvised rather than strictly scriptedShane Meadows has cited the film as one of his most personal worksPaddy Considine reportedly stayed in character for long stretches during filmingThe film's title is a reference to the idea of facing consequences for past actionsIt was filmed using handheld cameras to enhance realism and immersionThe movie is frequently ranked among the best British films of the 21st centuryToby Kebbell landed the role after an open casting callThe soundtrack features moody, atmospheric tracks that heighten the tensionThe film has developed a strong cult following through DVD and streaming platformsSupport the Show If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.
