BMMI Episode 052: Star Wipe
This week’s movie is full of stars. Star wipes that is! When a director unleashes an ancient horror into the world in the form of a star only his assistant director can stop it before the world fades to black.
Star Wipe is the most perfect movie monster ever conceived. It can control time and space. It can move the narrative away from characters discussing it’s weaknesses. It has no weaknesses. It’s like the alien from Alien but without an organic form that can be killed. How do you stop a star from wiping out the world?

BMMI Episode 048: The Great Molasses Flood
I remember when my great grandpappy would sit me on his knee and tell me about the wave of syrup that cascaded over Boston. I would sit wonderstruck as he told me about the brave men, women, and children that struggled through that day and the following weeks. I gasped in awe at the fact that no movie had been made about this tragic day, to my knowledge, until now!

We stroll through the flooded streets with our various protagonists all trying to comprehend the unimaginable scenario that they are living through.

BMMI Episode 045: No Horizon
This poster is an abstract landscape of ice for a movie that treats the open Arctic Ocean as an alien and hostile world. When a research vessel finds the rusted, destroyed husk of a ship–still floating–amidst ice floes, the crew unknowingly invites unceasing famine itself onboard when they rescue an unresponsive survivor. No Horizon reinvisions the myth of the wendigo, a creature conjured out of starvation’s last resort of cannibalism, as a mermaid symbol of decay and destruction that consumes everything that crosses its path. It’s a spaceship-meets-terrifying-alien movie set here on Earth. If the cold doesn’t get you, the hunger will.
