High Concept/Low Budget, Ranked
Episode 207
Monday, 9 February, 2026

High concept ideas don’t need studio money, just nerve, invention, and a willingness to get weird. This week on Binge Movies, Jason is joined by Paul from The Slashers and The Countdown to rank and eliminate a lineup of high-concept, low-budget films that swing big with limited resources. These are movies built on bold premises, scrappy execution, and the kind of creative problem-solving that only comes from constraint. Some stretch their ideas to the breaking point. Others prove that a great hook can outweigh a thin wallet. All of them raise the same question: when money is scarce, what really matters? El Mariachi (1992) Cube (1997) Primer (2004) The Man from Earth (2007) Coherence (2013) Coming to you from the last video store in the universe...this is Binge Movies.Credits Host: Jason Produced by: Binge Movies Franchisees: Heather, Dan, Jason, Matt, Pete Support: patreon.com/bingemovies
