"Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S." (2003), Episode 26
<p>Whether you are a fan of Godzilla movies and the Kaiju genre or not, this film is truly authentic to the genre. For a film like this to come out in 2003 with real, scaled set design, real actors in costume, and minimal special effects, particularly when CGI and Michael Bay-Style explosion sequences were the order of the day, is a testament to the discipline and rigor of the filmmakers. I recommend watching this film on as large a screen as possible in a completely blacked out room for the best possible experience. And if you have young children, even better. This is a film the whole family can enjoy.</p>

"Body Parts" (1991), Episode 25
<p>In this classic 90s body horror sci-fi flick we have Jeff Fahey star as the recipient of an arm transplant with some questionable ethical ramifications, not to mention some serious lifestyle consequences for the recipient and the family he loves. Worth mentioning is a standout performance from supporting actor Brad Dourif (Chucky, from "Child's Play", Billy Bibbit, from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest") who plays the other arm transplant recipient. This film is totally bonkers and everything you'd hope to find in an over the top body horror flick from the turn of the 90s decade.</p>

Episode 24: "Freak Out", 2015
<p>In this Kafkaesque Israeli Horror Comedy, one nerdy desk jockey sets out for a weekend of compulsory military patrol with his three machismo counterparts who bully him incessantly. It's not clear what the hell is happening on this military base, but something strange is afoot. In this episode, we invite you to explore this peculiar film, full of political and social symbolism and allegory dealing with many layers of Israeli culture and society.</p>
