Finally, the conclusion of The Zeroes! And if you're thinking, Hey, wait a minute! I thought the last one was the conclusion!? May I remind you that if the movies have taught us anything, it's that when an installment of a series is titled The Final Chapter, it's NEVER the Final Chapter!
The Zeroes continues as the next generation of brave Cinephobiacs offer up their best and worst film picks of the past decade.
First up, it's the apple of my eye, the love of my life and the bane of my existence: Toronto artist Nicola Miranda Bendrey. You can viddy some of her bile filled balloons and cotton candy inspired carnage at www.nicolabendrey.com.
Welcome to a very special edition of The Zeroes: Best and Worst of the Decade! This time, we celebrate the thriving genre movie scene in Cinephobia Radio's current home base of Toronto, Onterrible, Canada.
In recent years, the city has emerged as a veritable epicentre of cult film culture, due in large part to the work of the contributors featured on this episode. They all represent organisations that, while based in Toronto, Onterrible, have had a far reaching, 'international' impact on the spread of genre film.
Yes, we're back! To once again scale the sublime cinematic heights and plunder the dreck-strewn depths of the decade known as 'The Zeroes.'
And when I say, Attack of the Chones, I'm not necessarily referring to myself or any of the contributors. I just couldn't resist riffing on what was easily one of the worst films of the past decade, if not of all time.
IT WAS THE BEST OF TIMES, IT WAS THE WORST OF TIMES
It was the first decade of the 21st Century and now it's gone, just like a stream of cat atoms flying through space. But like many of you, I'm still not sure what to call it. Was it 'The 2000's,' 'The Noughts' or 'The Noughties?' Personally, I think a more fitting moniker is 'The Zeroes!'
Back in March of 2009, I sat down with Steve 'Lips' Kudlow and Robb Reiner from iconic Canadian thrash metal band Anvil and the subjects of one of the greatest rock documentaries ever made: Anvil! The Story of Anvil, a film that was truly a lifetime in the making.
I am thrilled to welcome to Cinephobia Radio, legendary visual effects genius and the man responsible for igniting the imaginations of kids all over the world, Mr. Ray Harryhausen.
At the tender age of 13, Ray fell madly in love with the 1933 classic King Kong. From that moment on, all his thoughts were bent on a career in stop motion animation.
