Strap in, horror fans and retro freaks! šŸŽ¬ This week on the Binge-Watchers Podcast, Johnny Spoiler crashes into The Vindicator (1986)—a robotic revenge flick with explosive practical effects from the legendary Stan Winston (yep, Predator), a synth soundtrack by Paul Zaza (My Bloody Valentine), and an early appearance from icon Pam Grier! 😱


šŸ“¼ Lost in time and overshadowed by Robocop and Terminator, The Vindicator deserves a full resurrection—and we’re here to do it. From killer cyborg suits to horrifying design choices (brain exposed?!) this sci-fi slasher hybrid is the kind of deep cut that cult movie fans dream of.
