The Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film

In this episode, Brian and Elric highlight Michael Weldon's amazing and influential book The Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film and each choose Five films to discuss from it (though it ends up being more than that). They also use a few clips from friend of the show Bill Ackerman's Supporting Characters podcast interview with Weldon from back in 2022.
