    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.

    Show notes

    Grab your jester masks and fix your tractors, maniacs, because we're wrapping up our Back To School trilogy with the 1986 English slasher Slaughter High! This one's got gnarly effects but not much else. While we dissect the nasty kills, we also discuss topics such as terrifying tour stories, horror Fatheads, how to conceal a British accent, and once again the "free drugs" myth rears its ugly head!


    106 - Student Bodies (1981) Sep 18, 2019
    Show notes

    Class Clowning 101 is in session this week, maniacs, because we're continuing our Back To School trilogy with the 1981 slasher parody Student Bodies! Topics include horse head bookends, sad Big Bird, and plenty of Seinfeld tangents for all.


    BONUS - George Hardy Interview LIVE! (Troll 2) Sep 15, 2019
    Show notes

    Grab a glass of Nilbog milk, maniacs, because we've got a bonus live episode with actor/dentist George Hardy of Troll 2! We conducted a Q&A with George last night before a rowdy sold out screening of the film at Pittsburgh's own Row House Cinema and were able to capture it in all its wild glory. We talk about his life after Troll 2, his cult actor status, upcoming project he has in the wings, and there's even a surprise in the crowd towards the end. Eternal thanks to George for joining us, Travis for asking us to be a part of the event, Jamie and the rest of the crew at Row House for their hospitality (which they definitely did not piss on), and everyone that made the night a raucous success!


    105 - Night School (1981) Sep 11, 2019
    Show notes

    Take your seats, maniacs, because this week we're kicking off our Back To School trilogy! And what better way to start than talking about 1981's Night School? While we dissect this American giallo flick, we also discuss topics such as using the newspaper to find things to do around town, generic Kelsey Grammer, and Slimer's butt.

Topics include music references, Bob Newhart and Ben finally makes a Simpsons reference.


    103 - Near Dark (1987) Aug 28, 2019
    Show notes

    The sun's almost rising on our Vampire Weekend trilogy, maniacs, so that means we're closing it out with 1987's Near Dark! Our pal Brian from Start The Beat With Sikes joins us to discuss this cult horror flick. While we dissect all of Bill Paxton's amazing one-liners, we also talk about sick roller coasters, train math, a lengthy history lesson on King's Island, and ways to tell if your Sweetwater Sound representative is a vampire.


    102 - Fright Night (1985) Aug 21, 2019
    Show notes

    Lock your doors and windows tight, maniacs, because week two of Vampire Weekend brings us 1985's Fright Night! This is one of Ben's favorites so strap in. We'll talk about booking William Ragsdale when Crispin Glover isn't available, driving stories, and Chris Sarandon's A+ sweater game.


    101 - A Return To Salem's Lot (1987) Aug 14, 2019
    Show notes

    This theme sucks, maniacs! We're kicking off our Vampire Weekend trilogy with some returning guests, Sarah and Amanda from Ghoul On Ghoul, to discuss the Larry Cohen-directed sequel A Return To Salem's Lot from 1987. Topics include Canadian lingo and rituals, blood cake, and the darkness of child weddings.


    100 - Better Off Dead (1985) Aug 07, 2019
    Show notes

    We want our two dollars, maniacs, because we're celebrating our 100th episode! And to kick off the party, we're breaking format and talking about Gregg's favorite movie of all time, Better Off Dead! Returning to the show is Ben's film partner Blake, who watched this movie for the first time the night before we recorded. Topics include loose cereal, Ben's career as a paperboy, and weirdly sexual food signs in inappropriate places.


    99 - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) Jul 31, 2019
    Show notes

    Stop by the Cut-Rite and grab yourself a few chainsaws, maniacs, because we're closing out Savini Splatter Fest by going down south to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2! We're joined by our good pal and VHS collector Josh (@joshgoestohell) to dissect this one. While we tend to our achin' bananas, we also discuss fake southern restaurants, Dennis Hopper's secret to acting drunk, and get a good dose of Texas history.
