Earlier this month Marvel delivered its first Asian superhero in its cinematic universe with "Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings." But it's been a long hard road getting to this point in Hollywood. For the latest episode of Cinema Junkie, I speak with Brian Hu, artistic director of the San Diego Asian Film Festival, about the evolution of Asian images on screen from the stereotypes of yellow peril to Shang Chi. Hu will take us on a tour through early negative stereotypes of Fu Manchu to characters like Charlie Chan and Mr. Moto to the breakthrough stardom of Bruce Lee and finally to Shang Chi. I'll play lots of clips and Hu offers some exciting film recommendations to check out. Plus enjoy the decidedly eccentric rants and raves of Awkward San Diego's Ryan Bradford and Horrible Imaginings' Miguel Rodriguez on the latest Cold Turkey and Share Your Addiction. And check out the latest Geeky Gourmet video where I'll show you how to make Asian treats to eat with the films we discuss: https://bit.ly/CJGeekyGourmet I'd like to acknowledge the talented folks who make Cinema Junkie happen: podcast coordinator Kinsee Morlan, technical director Rebecca Chacon, and director of sound design Emily Jankowski.

Us horror fans know that we love a stigmatized genre. We have felt the chastisement of those around us for this love. But we also rest well on the knowledge that horror is embedded in the history of human storytelling. It is of utmost importance, and that any contempt thrown our way is born […] More

1-18-2018 "Trevor Dillon and Ian Hock are a SoCal based team of writer/directors. After meeting in college, they formed a filmmaking partnership under the title of Ghost Party Pictures. Through the self-funding and creation of multiple shorts, they've experimented with stories and styles across multiple genres, most particularly horror. Their latest project, Foxwood, is a horror comedy where a blind date takes a monstrous turn as a young couple meets on a cold Christmas night. Currently on the festival circuit, the short is a selection at Shriekfest Los Angeles and Orlando, Horrible Imaginings, Idaho Horror, Sacramento Horror, and is in final consideration with many more. Stay tuned as Dillon and Hock expand the Foxwood story while developing exciting new projects they have up their sleeves."

Rape Revenge films are perhaps the most replete with conflict for conscientious audience members who find themselves, for one reason or another, drawn to them.

Some of […] More

In a recent trend of referring to popular web based content as a means of retelling the modern horror story, the amount of viable source material to draw upon seems to expand in measure quicker than said supply can be depleted. We’ve seen Youtube provide us with creepypasta born series such as Marble Hornets and SyFy has tuned us […] More

Oh boy, am I a sucker for a good Japanese ghost story. There is just something about them that resonates with me. I think it is the focus on spirits that exact a cruel form of justice and vengeance. The cold callousness mixed with an almost deserved karma. It speaks to me. I first read […] More
In all the years I have done Storytime Edition episodes, I never did Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” because it just felt a little too obvious for some reason. I have been asked now for the third time to record a reading of it for the podcast, and I was even asked to read it […] More
It is the last day of September, which means Halloween is knocking at the door and ready to fill our homes with all the scares that we have come to love since childhood. One of the classic Halloween images, of course, is that of the abandoned old haunted house silhouetted threateningly by a glowing full […] More
Hello, listeners! Holy crap I can’t believe how quickly time has passed.

Horrible Imaginings Film Festival wrapped up earlier this month, and it was another great year embracing the darkness. Here's a reflection on the event and a look at the radio drama created specifically to debut at the festival.
Hello, listeners! Sorry for the long break between episodes as we plan the next film festival, on top of me moving, my cat dying, a violent car accident, and a lot of other bullshit. This show is not about any of that, though, but about something fun instead! That’s right… this past Saturday, June 3rd, […] More

Hello everyone! It is time for another episode of the Official Podcast of Horrible Imaginings Film Festival, and this is an exciting one because we get to nerd out about one of those horror franchises partly responsible for helping drive the passion that makes our festival possible: PHANTASM! Well Go USA has just released the […] More
It is one of the most terrifying mysteries of the 21st century. So many grisly and unexplained elements that it has gone viral and inspired hundreds, if not thousands, of conspiracy theorists, amateur detectives, and calls for action. It is the mystery of what happened to Elisa Lam. And What Happened to Elisa Lam? is […] More

Hello, everyone! We have a bonus episode for you today since I was asked if I wanted to interview some of the actors who are playing the new Lionsgate Power Rangers, and I just couldn’t resist.

Happy Halloween everyone! I have a bittersweet episode to celebrate our favorite holiday.

He lived to the rich old age of 98, and for monster kids of all ages, Zacherley has long been an important part […] More
Halloween is exactly one week away, and I have the perfect little tale of terror for you!

Sometimes things just happen that take you somewhere you didn’t expect to go, but there you are and it is freaking awesome. Everything about what happened Sunday feels like some kind of divine providence.

“Index Zero” is a new dark science fiction film from Italy, and a debut feature from director Lorenzo Sportiello. As with any good genre story, Sportiello uses high-concept cinema to explore some very real problems facing Europe today–namely the refugee and immigration problems that challenge many European countries. The film also boasts an impressive world-building […] More
Wow, another podcast episode more focused on classic film than horror! Horror can be peripherally involved, though, as the main thrust of our conversation is censorship and The Production Code that became the means for censorship in Hollywood for over three decades. I was graciously invited to join Cinema Junkie Beth Accomando at The La […] More
Once again, it is that time of the year where we focus on classic film in honor of the TCM Classic Film Festival, which has been hitting Hollywood, California in a big way every Spring since 2010.

Since the provocative promotional images first hit the internet, the new film “Nina Forever” has been garnering attention from the festival circuit and genre fans alike.

In 1973, African American director Bill Gunn was tasked with making the next “Blacula.” Instead, he gifted the world with the strangest rumination on identity, addiction, and religion that we are just beginning to appreciate.

Horrible Imaginings is bringing one trippy anthology film to San Diego’s Digital Gym Cinema in February! It’s called Southbound, and it tells the connected stories of some truly unfortunate people who find themselves in the loneliest parts of the American roadscape.
