B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast - Episode 2

Chopping Mall (1986)

Welcome back to the B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast, where your hosts Duncan & The Baz once again plunge deep into the cinematic swamp of so-bad-it’s-brilliant cinema. In Episode 2, we’re tackling the mall madness mayhem that is Chopping Mall (1986)...a sci-fi/horror/electro-corporate-slaughterhouse hybrid that answers the age-old question: what if RoboCop did mall security... and had zero chill?

---

In This Episode:A brief plot breakdown: teens looking for romance, robots looking for revenge, all in a mall where health and safety regulations were clearly vaporised in the opening credits.

---

Our Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments, including:*The robot’s polite “Have a nice day” catchphrase... after incinerating someone.*That head-exploding laser shot — because brains should detonate in slow motion.*The baffling idea of after-hours partying in a furniture store. (Who brings champagne to a mattress?)*Lightning strikes that somehow make robots sentient murder machines, not just...fried scrap metal.*One character’s absolutely heroic death via elevator, because of course.A detailed dissection of the many moments where logic took a lunch break (and never returned), including how these ‘killbots’ were greenlit in the first place. Spoiler: capitalism.A special shout-out to the wardrobe department, who managed to kit everyone out in the finest collection of neon workout gear and tube tops the '80s ever produced.And finally, the official B-Movie Blitzkrieg rating: does Chopping Mall earn a shiny five-missile salute, or is it more of a two-mall-cop meltdown?

---

Whether you came for the cheesy charm, the budget-conscious effects, or the inexplicably aggressive cleaning robots, this episode’s got enough camp and chaos to power a whole food court.Until then, stay groovy, stay grindhouse and remember, here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg…the bizarre meets the brilliant one B-Movie at a time.

---

Next Episode Drops Friday, August 1st 2025We’ll be diving into the kung-fu, jive-talking, pimp-powered powerhouse that is Dolemite (1975)...where rhymes are tight, punches are wild, and subtlety is left bleeding in an alley.You won’t want to miss it...unless you hate joy.
