Megaplex is the most insane double feature the world has ever seen. With a running time of 80 minutes and thousands of cuts from more than 80 movies, Smash TV has spent the past year and a half cramming the most entertainment possible into every second. It's dense enough to pressurize these diamonds in the rough into gleaming treasures.nnMegaplex is the long awaited followup to the critically acclaimed Skinemax. Whereas Skinemax was a first attempt at an ambitious idea, this latest effort is much more fully realized, utilizing myriad editing and layering tricks picked up over the past five years. Deeper, darker, and definitely more bizarre. nnBorrowing from the Grindhouse tradition and from Tarantino’s more recent tribute, Megaplex is a double feature that both members of Smash TV worked on independently.nnAs a palette cleanser in between, Smash TV is proud to present Coming Attractions, a 15 minute collection of vignettes editing together previously unexplored genres and styles.nnPlease support the original works, these are film makers and musicians that have upheld the values of originality and creativity.nnThis video is protected under fair use copyright law.

It is the ultimate in-your-face, balls to the wall, no holds barred, over the top, end of the world electric boogaloo dance party, fueled by neon, spandex, ooze, and steroids. So many steroids.nnIt's the movie you and your best friends stumble across at the end of the night after frying your brain with nine straight hours of Sonic 2, Streets of Rage 2, and ToeJam & Earl on your Sega Genesis. Or is the whole thing just a Pepsi-induced sugar coma fever dream? It's impossible to say. But you probably shouldn't have drunk that fifth two-liter bottle.nnTurbo is utterly shameless in its love for the most ridiculous and awesome movies that the 1980s and early 90s had to offer. It's what would happen if Cannon Films and New Line Cinema got a little crazy at the club and ended up boning in the bathroom. It's the nights from your childhood that you'll never forget. Those nights are gone. But Turbo lives on in your dreams forever...and Beyond...nnTracklist:nnHBO 1983 IntronMr. Oizo - HunnActress - ImagenStephen Farris - PeppernJean Michel Jarre - ZoolookologienVHS Head - Camera EyesnPhono Ghosts - Suntan SpiesnHarold Faltermeyer - Fletch ThemenOliver - Light Years AwaynTiger & Woods - Gin NationnSolar Bears - A Sky DarklynnnCOMING ATTRACTIONSnnEdited by Brendan ShieldsnnComing Attractions is a collection of vignettes exploring different genres and themes.

Comprised of some of the strangest imagery from the 80s and early 90s, Beyond is a hallucinatory experience designed to amaze, bewilder, and terrify.nnHighlighting choice cuts from a strange time in the horror, sci-fi, and fantasy genres, Beyond harkens back to late nights of channel surfing, catching out of context glimpses of the bizarre and fascinating. Something unlike anything you'd ever seen before...something you weren't supposed to see...nnCombining the darkest moments of Skinemax with the layering experiments of Memorex, Beyond is a descent into euphoric madness as reality begins to unravel.nnIt's the unmarked tape lying in wait at an abandoned Blockbuster, anticipating its next victim. nnAn Ayahuasca trip at 24 frames per second.nnFantasia meets Videodrome.nnBeyond the limits of good tastennBeyond the subconsciousnnBeyond ego deathnnBeyond the starsnnBeyond...nnTracklist:nnFranco Micalizzi - Stridulum ThemenVHS Head - Farewell AfricanGatekeeper - SerpentnVHS Head - Angels Never SleepnMadlib - Gentle PilznADR - SidewindernPublic Image Ltd. - The Order Of DeathnFluorescent Grey - Gnoble Door Moo Rig RignVHS Head - FrozennTrust - Bulbformniamamiwhoami - Goods Less
