Über den Podcast
Neon Brainiacs is a comedy podcast about retro horror movies with your hosts, and independent filmmakers, Ben and Lance (and former co-host Gregg). Your heroes break down the movie's plot, remember the good times, and get lost in plenty of humorous diversions. We love to engage with our audience, and hope you're willing to be in on the joke. While we do a play-by-play of the movie, this show is tailored a little more for those looking to laugh at their work desk. Nostalgia and laughs rule the day. We open with some fun banter, then Lance does some production history and BTS info with his "Shpiel", and finally we break down the movie's plot beat-by-beat via Ben's rigorous note taking. From fan-favorite films to deep cuts of the '70s, '80, '90s, and 2000s, no stone is left unturned regarding these retro horror movie gems.

If Nancy doesn't wake up screaming she won't wake up at all.
It's both Ben and Lance's birthday month, so we picked a very special theme for July: Freddy and Jason July! Two Freddy movies. Two jason movies. Then, finally, the crossover showdown. However, we already did most of these movies... Or did "we"? Because Lance wasn't there! So Lance gets his turn as we revisit a classic: A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984).
When a sinister figure starts invading their dreams, a group of friends realize that what happens in their sleep can have deadly consequences in real life. One teen must confront the threat where it feels most inescapable: inside her own sleep. And that's not all! We're also joined by frequent guest, and the other half of BPO Films, Blake O'Donnell!Also this week: Man on the street interviews, Blake yelling at Micheal Keaton, and remember Channel One News?
All this--and a whole lot more--on this week's episode of NEON BRAINIACS!!
