What is “B-Movie inspirations”? It is one part movie review and one part RPG game master idea seeds. Many of my ideas have come from cheesy movies that I somehow find time to watch. I decided to start writing theses ideas down in reviews geared towards RPG game masters like myself. In some ways, this is me watching these horrible movies and drawing the ideas from them, so you don’t have to.

A decided to re-watch At the Earth’s Core on TubiTV…
Since I have been getting into Masters of the Air, I have also been watching some older WW2 movies. Here is a list of the movies I have watched so far. I am all over the place with the eras of these movies and I got a little out of each of them, so I…

I found this movie on Tubi TV and the poster for it had me with tentacles. I watched the subsequent trailer and I got even more interested despite the fact that it looks like a bad-SyFy movie made by Gravitas Ventures (just as much a red flag as Asylum Productions). The movie takes place in…
Mother/Android is a 2021 American post-apocalyptic science fiction film, written and directed by Mattson Tomlin.

It is one of many underwater-themed movies released around 1990, including The Abyss, Leviathan, DeepStar Six, The Evil Below, Hunt for Red October and Lords of the Deep. I found this going down…
Stumbled on this movie on Tubi. Saw that Claudia Black was in it (big fan!) and watched the trailer. It intrigued me. The style of the movie had a strong Alien crossed with 2001: Space Odyssey and I liked the dark tone. So I sat and watched it, not really thinking I would write about…
