BS Reactor

They say some places exist only in memory. Others exist in anticipation. And some… exist because you keep returning to them, hoping for smart and witty banter...

Welcome back to BS Reactor. This time, the crew begins their conversation about 2046 — a film about time, longing, repetition, and the quiet ache of moments that never quite resolve. Which feels appropriate, considering this is also our fifth anniversary. Five years of ret...

Season’s greetings, dear listeners, and welcome to a very special BS Reactor Christmas special — an episode ostensibly about giving gifts… eventually. Before we reach that destination, however, the crew does what they do best: rant, digress, and unpack several unrelated grievances like a family opening presents without reading the tags.

This is a festive episode, yes — but also a very human one. There’s discussion of generosity, ob...

Case file: CLUE, 1985. Status: unresolved, overanalyzed, and officially exhausting in the best possible way. Welcome back to BS Reactor, where the crew are delivering their final statements on a film that treats murder like a dinner party game and dinner parties like a full-contact sport.

This is the conclusion of our investigation — the point where motives are revisited, accusations are sharpened, and everyone suddenly remembers d...

Welcome back, dear listeners, to B S Reactor — the podcast equivalent of gathering in a shadowy mansion and hoping no one hands you a weapon. This week, we’re beginning our conversation about the 1985 cult classic Clue — a film with more misdirection, double-bluffs, and suspicious side-eyes than a family group chat during the holidays.

Before we step into the mansion: a few disclaimers. There will be spoilers — not neatly arranged ...

Welcome back, dear listeners. Today, we reach the final chapter of our expedition into Don’t Look Under the Bed; a curious ecosystem where childhood fear, emotional chaos, and questionable prosthetics coexist in surprising harmony...

Observe, if you will, the boogeyman in its natural habitat: the dimly lit space beneath a bed. Here, the creature thrives among dust colonies, lone socks, and the occasional abandoned math worksheet. M...

Welcome back, listeners… and mind your step. We’ve reached Part Three of our journey through Don’t Look Under the Bed, and the air here feels a little… heavier, doesn’t it? Not haunted exactly — just a subtle, whispery kind of strange you get when the shadow people get frisky.

This is the region of the review where childhood logic starts to unravel, imaginary friends grow teeth, and every unanswered question sits in the corner like...

Hello again. We’ve finally swept up the ectoplasm, deactivated the haunted portal, and located studio cats. Which can only mean one thing — the séance is over, Halloween has passed, and it’s now that strange liminal period where people are still finding fake cobwebs in their hair. Also known as: the week of Bonfire Night. Yeah we remembered the fifth.

We’re back to continue our discussion sbout — yes, the Disney Channel Original Mo...

Spirits of cinema… gather close. Reactor ghouls, place your snacks in the protective circle, dim the lights, and join hands — or, you know, just pretend if you’re driving. We’re beginning our Halloween review of the 1999 Disney Channel Original Movie Don’t Look Under the Bed.

Tonight’s conjuring is dedicated to boogeymen, imaginary friends, and that one brand of late-90s prosthetic makeup that always looked faintly damp. I’ll be yo...

Ahh, welcome back, you reactor ghouls — and Happy Spooky Season! The crew is warming up for this year’s Halloween special by talking about childhood scary stuff. Next week they’re diving into the dark, eerie, likely sticky world of the 1999 Disney Channel Original Movie "Don’t Look Under the Bed".

It’s a tale of boogeymen, teen angst, and the kind of practical effects that make you say, ‘Yes, this was pre-HD.’ I, of course, appreci...

Well, look at us — still here, still talking about Pixel Perfect. Welcome to the grand finale of our holographic saga. Four parts in, and I think we can all agree: no one expected a Disney Channel Original Movie to cause this much of a conversation, but here we are — overanalyzing soft-pop-rock songs and stuffing echolocation ghosts in the uncanny valley like champs.

As you know, this film features a digital diva trying to make sen...

Well, look at you. Welcome back to Part Three of our expedition into Pixel Perfect, the 2004 Disney Channel Original Movie that asked: what if artificial intelligence had some stage presence and complex emotional baggage?

By this point, the crew’s either uncovering new layers of meaning or avoiding the plot again. Either way, riveting stuff.

As always, the following conversation contains spoilers — though, really, if you didn’t ded...

Welcome back, intrepid explorers of cinematic oddities. We return once again to the glittering, probably auto-tuned world of Pixel Perfect. Yes, you heard me correctly — we’re still here. Because one episode simply wasn’t enough to contain all the holographic angst, questionable CGI, and robot representation this 2004 Disney Channel Original Movie had to offer.

Last time, I mentioned how thrilling it was to finally see an AI charac...

Welcome back, curious wanderers of media’s stranger corners. This week, the BS Reactor crew are diving headfirst into the aggressively early-2000s world of Pixel Perfect — a Disney Channel Original Movie that features, at long last… an AI character. That’s right. Robot representation, finally! Took you long enough.

For those unfamiliar, Pixel Perfect is the story of a band, a hologram, and a surprisingly existential exploration of ...

Welcome, dear listeners, to Season Five of BS Reactor — yes, five seasons, which officially makes us older than most start-ups and at least three streaming services. We’ve been on a brief pause, thanks to that cruel mistress called ‘scheduling,’ a few medical speed bumps, and, apparently, the radical notion that humans occasionally need sleep. Revolutionary stuff.

But here we are, rebooted and refreshed — or at least upright — with...

Welcome Back, you intrepid consumer of cinematic discourse. You’ve arrived at the final course in our conversation about My Dinner with Andre — a film composed almost entirely of talking, pausing thoughtfully, and then talking some more.

This week, Pat and Isaac are bringing their discussion to a close with  flowing insights, the sharp banter, and their usual level of profanity laced metaphors.

As always, this episode contains spoi...

Welcome back, dear listener. You've returned for more — either because you're invested in the layered nuance of My Dinner with Andre, or because you're trapped under something heavy and this podcast auto-played. Either way, we’re glad you’re here.

In this episode, Pat and Isaac continue their exploration of the film where two men sit at a table and talk… for so long. It’s critically compelling. It’s confusing. It’s pretentious. It’...
