UPDATE! Just a note, the episode was unable to land today as planned :( Will keep you posted on when you can hear my thoughts, and those of MuGumBo and Manifesto, on Frankenstein's Army! No, I'm not jumping ship and leaving The Basement. No way, no how. Shawn and I threatened that at one point, and quickly realized this is home. Good 'ole home. But I was invited by Lewis Cougill, AKA MuGumBo to join himself and Dave "Manifesto" Gibson for the third-season premiere episode of his Traumatic Cinematic podcast. The film he put on the chopping block? Frankenstein's Army. Now, I'd already shared my thoughts on Frankenstein's Army right here , but couldn't resist the opportunity to sit in on MuGumBo's show. He and I have shot the shit since he launched his hit podcast almost two years ago. He's the dude who created the #twitflix hashtag that I often tweet under when reviewing movies. The episode recorded last night and I had a blast rap...

It's not very often that a movie comes along and totally rings my bell, but Frankenstein's Army is one of them. Wanna know why? Read on, constant reader! Toward the end of World War II, Russian soldiers pushing into eastern Germany stumble across a secret Nazi lab, one that has unearthed and begun experimenting with the journal of one Dr. Victor Frankenstein. I have but one complaint with this movie, and that's that it's yet another entry in the found-footage genre. But it has a traditional score etc. Why? What's the point? The film would have been better served as a straight-up narrative, in my opinion. End of short rant. Everything else about this flick is bad to the ass. In fact, there's an entire sequence where I was glued to the screen, my jaw wide open, shocked and awed at what I was watching. This is an old-school monster movie, with multiple monsters the likes of which I've only seen in nightmares. And they do terrible things to people over...

A Second World War found-footage movie about Russian soldiers squaring off against an army of Nazi monsters created by the mind of Dr. Victor Frankenstein? Sign me up! That is indeed the premise of co-writer/director Richard Raaphorst's flick, due in theatres and on VOD July 26. While found footage is dead and done in my opinion, the Frankenstein/Nazi/WWII angle is a gooder. And the preview below certainly promises some fucked up shit, if you'll pardon my French. Behold: Frankenstein's Army stars Karel Roden, Joshua Sasse and Robert Gwilym. Trust me, Shawn and I will hammer out a podcast for this one! Source: Arrow in the Head
