About Cinema Psychos - A Movie Review & Comedy Podcast

Welcome to the madhouse where film freaks and film fans of all types come to get their fix. The Cinema Psychos Show is hosted by indie filmmakers Brian Cottington and John Wooliscroft. Every week they dig into new movie reviews, cult classics, horror films, bad movies, forgotten gems, and whatever's currently breaking (or disappointing) on streaming; all from the perspective of two guys who actually make films for a living. This isn't a recap show. Expect real film analysis, genuine comedy, deep dives into what makes movies actually work, and plenty of unfiltered opinions on why Hollywood keeps getting it wrong. New releases. Cult horror. 80s classics. Streaming disasters. If it's worth talking about or too insane to ignore; it's fair game.

Killer Tomatoes, Helicopter Crashes, and B Movie Madness: Inside The 50 Year Legacy of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes | Costa Dillon

Published 14 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And just the title, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, popped into my head, I think because I had just seen Attack of the Mushroom People. And I just substituted tomato for mushroom people. And that was that. We kind of then eventually formed a story around it, something into a story. And the whole conceit of the concept is that we understand it's not like watching Godzilla where you think Godzilla could kill me. We don't expect anybody watching a killer tomato where we think those tomatoes could kill me. But everybody in the movie thinks it. So that's what that's what makes the movie work is everybody in the movie is afraid of the tomatoes, but everybody audience recognizes it's ridiculous. […]
