Summary

We discuss the filmography of THE ASYLUM, the production company that brought us the Sharknado series, and shamelessly release 'mockbusters' like TRANSMORPHERS, ANTANTIC RIM, and EXPENDABELLES 3.0 to an unsuspecting public. Plus, a special guest drops by to discuss TIFF's Midnight Madness line-up. On this week's Patreon episode, we discuss a rediscovered MAC AND ME, A NIGHT TO DISMEMBER and lost films.

0:07.8	And you're listening to The Important Cinema Club. And today, we're visiting the asylum.
0:13.3	So I'm here at the local video store and I'm looking at the shelf and what I really want to see is my favorite movie of the summer, Transformers.

1:15.7	And who could forget, Shark Nato 1 through 5?

1:19.4	Sure, why not?
1:22.8	They call themselves the asylum, but really they should be in jail.
1:27.0	So, the asylum is a company that makes mock busters.
