Loud soundtracks. Wild colors. Outrageous gore. Movies that grab you and refuse to let go. This Friday, we're drafting "Sugar Rush" movies: cinema with every dial cranked up to 11.
Griffey, Heath, Sam and Sophia each build a four-film lineup of sensory overload, from the relentless action of Mad Max: Fury Road and Run Lola Run to the splatter insanity of Braindead and Re-Animator. Add Mandy's psychedelic nightmare, Suspiria's colors and Goblin score, and the anything-goes madness of House, and subtlety is officially off the table.
Of course, agreeing on the category turns out to be harder than picking the movies. Do Kill Bill and Natural Born Killers have too much story to qualify? Why does The Neon Demon get rejected? And where exactly is the line between a sugar rush and a drug trip?
We also revisit Peter Jackson's outrageous early films, argue about Jimmy and Stiggs, and make room for killer llamas, Speed Racer and some deeply questionable puppets. Then the final swaps lock in our lineups.
Who built the best four-movie marathon: Griffey, Heath, Sam or Sophia? Vote in the comments and tell us your ultimate Sugar Rush pick.
Spoilers for several films discussed.
