Brain Melt

Someone's Favorite Productions

Tv & Film

Frequency: 1 episode/28d. Total Eps: 5

Join us on a journey through the fringes of celluloid society. The dark corners drowned out in a cacophony of naysayers and ironic laughter. Hidden in these forgotten realms are a group of cinematic pariah that deserve a better fate. They deserve to be salvaged from the pit of lazy punchlines and viewed as joyous expressions of artistic integrity and passion.

We here at Brain Melt HQ will guide you, potentially kicking and screaming, into the hypnagogic void as we explore the beauty in the outsider artistry of movie madness. We hope you enjoy the ride!

Brain Melt Episode Zero

Friday, April 10, 2026 • Duration 23:16

The Brain Melt master list:
https://boxd.it/df2Ns

Welcome! This podcast was birthed from a Letterboxd list that Bill created to map his journey through the wild and unpredictable world of outsider cinema. Movies that take big creative swings, on any budget, and often represent the true voice of an auteur who fought to keep their vision in place.

In episode zero we provide the origin of the idea as well as a sneak preview for the two movies we'll cover in Episode 1. Excited for anyone who catches us early and can start to follow along!

Brain Melt Episode One: Doris Wishman and J.P. Simon

Tuesday, April 21, 2026 • Duration 01:20:56

The Brain Melt master list:
https://boxd.it/df2Ns

Welcome! This podcast was birthed from a Letterboxd list that Bill created to map his journey through the wild and unpredictable world of outsider cinema. Movies that take big creative swings, on any budget, and often represent the true voice of an auteur who fought to keep their vision in place.

In episode one we watch Doris Wishman's Night to Dismember and J.P. Simon's Pieces. Two true auteurs to kick off Brain Melt, both highly influential in their own way. We match each Brain Melt selection with a canonical arthouse favorite as well, and would love to hear if you agree or disagree with our choice. Excited for anyone who catches us early and can start to follow along!

Brain Melt Episode Two: Deep Franchise Surprises

Wednesday, June 3, 2026 • Duration 01:51:09

The Brain Melt master list:
https://boxd.it/df2Ns

Welcome to Brain Melt! A foster home for outsider art and the movies that make us fall in love with film. The theme for episode two is movies deep into an established franchise that come out of nowhere and blow us away.

We watch Producer Pierre David's Scanner Cop II: The Showdown and visionary director John Hyams' Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning. Listen as we dissect the wiggles, the scanpires, and JCVD in a sneaky surreliast masterpiece. We match each Brain Melt selection with a canonical arthouse favorite as well, and would love to hear if you agree or disagree with our choice. Excited for anyone who catches us early and can start to follow along!

Brain Melt Episode Three: Inanimate Object Horror

Wednesday, July 1, 2026 • Duration 01:48:08

The Brain Melt master list:
https://boxd.it/df2Ns

Welcome to Brain Melt Cinema! A podcast where we look at cinema like architects that bridge the absurd with the arthouse and treat both with equal respect. The theme for episode three is two movies from the insanely fun genre of inanimate object horror.

Very helpful genre list from user creo318
https://www.imdb.com/list/ls565353925/

We watch George Barry's Death Bed: The Bed That Eats (1977) and Michael Fischa's Death Spa (1988). A glimpse into poetic realism followed by a cross-genre possessed gym. We match each Brain Melt selection with a canonical arthouse favorite as well, and would love to hear if you agree or disagree with our choice. Excited for anyone who catches us early and can start to follow along!
