    Neon Brainiacs (A Retro Horror Movie 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.

    April Ghouls, maniacs! We're bringing you a special bonus episode recorded live at the Riverside Drive-In during day two of the April Ghouls Monster-Rama.

    Show notes

    What's your favorite scary movie, maniacs? 90s Month ends with a hell of an episode as we discuss Wes Craven's 1996 horror blockbuster Scream! While we discuss how this film affected our childhoods, we also chat about topics such as SlasherPhone, Fun Lovin' Criminals, and a what-if scenario of who we would be without this script's horror movie references.

    We're headed to North Dakota this week, maniacs, as 90s Month continues with 1993's Leprechaun! As we dissect this early role for Jennifer Aniston, we also discuss topics such as creepy singing child voices, the works of Mark Holton, and Leppy's penchant for small vehicles.

    Show notes

    Hail to the king, maniacs! We're in the midst of 90s Month and we're talking Sam Raimi's legendary Army Of Darkness this week! As we geek out over this bonafide cult classic, we also discuss other topics such as Duke Nukem ripping off Ash's lines, the one time Bruce Campbell looked like Jay Leno, and we have a ton of "Maniac Feedback" from you, the listeners!

    Show notes

    Sorry Jack, Chucky is back this week! That's right, maniacs, you did not read the episode wrong... We're breaking our own rules all month long and delving into the 90s, starting with 1990's Child's Play 2! As we reunite with Uncle Charles, we also discuss topics such as car phones, Chicago style sushi, and foster parents discouraging their foster kids from working.

    Show notes

    The "Band" is back together, maniacs! This week we're talking the Full Moon classic Puppet Master, and we welcome full-time co-host Lance Parkin into the fray! While we discuss one of the more impressive films of Charles Band, we also chat about topics such as our nickname for Pinhead, Paul Le Mat's awkward acting style, and why this film wasn't called Ballroom Master.


    237 - The Running Man (1987) Mar 23, 2022
    Show notes

    We're getting punny this week, maniacs, as we try to catch Arnold in 1987's The Running Man! And guess who else is back? Ben! While we try to process all of the modern inventions this movie predicted, we also chat about topics such as someone you idolize knocking you out, Fleetwood Mac being too good for the future, and the Climbing For Dollars spinoff we never got.


    236 - House (1985) Mar 16, 2022
    Show notes

    Knock knock, maniacs! We're finally circling back to talk about the movie that started a very weird franchise, Steve Miner's 1985 horror-comedy House! While we unpack all of the popular names in horror and sitcoms that pepper the credits of this film, we also talk about topics such as uncomfortable chairs, intrusive late-night Chinese food deliveries, and Big Mouth Billy Bass.
