The definition of cult cinema, "Killer Klowns From Outer Space" is a masterclass in mayhem.

One of the greatest monster mash-ups of all time! 1988’s Waxwork takes a peek behind the creepy curtain of a malevolent wax museum where the blood is real. An underrated gem of a movie that still hasn’t got the critical adulation and or reappraisal that it deserves. This week on The Offering we’re gonna change that. Let’s discuss how this cult classic got made, and some little known history regarding it’s production. Here’s your VIP ticket to the Waxwork!

This week on The Offering, I’ll be discussing one of the most essential Science Fiction films of 1988, John Carpenter’s "They Live". We’ll be discussing the film’s origins, how Carpenter saw Roddy Piper as the next big action star, and the subsequent effect of the film on the zeitgeist at large. This film has an incredibly fascinating trajectory within pop culture itself. Did I mention it has the always great Keith David squaring off against Piper in one of cinema’s greatest (and overtly long) fight scenes? Tune in and OBEY.

This week on The Offering - we’re bringing you the bone crunching, hard hitting, no holds barred classic "Bloodsport".

Learn all about how the film was made, was it really a true story and why we never got a true sequel. Tap or snap, this is a can’t miss episode of The Offering!
