Hollywood has all but come to a complete halt in recent months. One thing that has not changed is the news of more installments of established franchises. We talk about the interesting history of Highlander, the odd decision to make another Hocus Pocus movie, and how we feel about each one.We all knew that Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey was not going to set a new standard. It was clear from the beginning that it was going to coast as far as it could with its beloved children’s story adapted into a

Viewing habits have changed drastically over the years. We talk about how delays have become a bigger part of the film calendar than ever before and how it now seems to take more than tentpole franchises to draw audiences. Plus, Mike Flannagan has another Stephen King adaptation coming and you may be surprised to hear who is part of the cast.We have not done too many - if any - family friendly horror. This may be because there is so little to find on Shudder. This week’s show covers both bases as we

To call Piper Laurie an underrated genre icon would not be entirely correct. She was an award winning actress who grabbed the spotlight in pretty much everything she was in. It is not until looking at her entire career that her contributions can be truly appreciated. We also revisit the idea of a Halloween television show and talk about the future of the V/H/S franchise.True crime stories have real life horror naturally built into them. The Man in the White Van decides to lean into horror tropes and

SPOILER ALERT! AS WITH ALL SPECIAL EDITIONS, WE HOLD NOTHING BACK AND DISCUSS MAJOR SPOILERS!There is so much to unpack when it comes to The Exorcist: Believer. How the rights almost cost half a billion dollars. The fact there is literally not one exorcist in the movie. Trying to connect it to the original. But we mainly talk about how disappointed we were. Do we have ourselves to blame?It is hard not to go into some movies with high expectations - especially ones that have trailers as awesome as

Akela Cooper has become a low key regular on our humble little podcast. We raved about M3gan earlier this year and covered Hell Fest previously. We talk about her latest project which covers one of horror’s most popular tropes. Earlier this year, we were shocked to hear that Glen Danzig would be making an appearance at the Cannes Film Festival. He recently showed up at Fantastic Fest and made waves at a screening of V/H/S/85.Nothing says Halloween like a good old fashioned haunted amusement park

Last year was supposed to be the end of Halloween. It would have been the worst possible way for the celebrated franchise to end, but it was time for it to go away - at least for a lonnnnnng time. Hollywood is never afraid to keep recycling ideas, so we start the show with a talk about the future of the series.Netflix has been a major player in the streaming wars from the beginning. What few remember and even fewer know is that it got it start as a DVD rental company with a novel idea. As that era

We love covering indie films. It is especially fun when you get to see something really special. Still, it is hard not to worry that these little movies will not find a home. We do not expect these releases to have Barbie levels of success (though that would be awesome); we just want audiences to have the chance to see them.This is why channels like Shudder are so important. Movies like You’ll Never Find Me have an opportunity to be seen and hopefully appreciated. We also talk about the genius of

2023/09/15

We love a good mystery. Hercule Poirot, ensemble casts, television shows, we enjoy them all. Though its target audience has always skewed older, we are huge fans of Murder, She Wrote. Recent news of a movie has us excited and we talk about who would make a great Jessica Fletcher. The 2019 Hellboy remake was a critical and commercial disaster. Still, few were surprised another reboot was in the works. The latest version seems to be taking a more streamlined approach but will audiences care?Undying

There is not much in the way of movie news this week (at least not the kind we are interested in talking about) so it begs the question: are the two ongoing strikes in Hollywood starting to shows their effects? On the other hand, it is one of the slower movie months of the year, so how much would there be to talk about even if things were going smoothly. Plus, there were plenty of posters and trailers that came out. We also talk about the career arc of Bill Maher.It has been a while since we have

Barbie finally relinquished the top box office spot in a close race. It was extremely close and did nothing to make us believe that the pink phenom is done at theaters. The question becomes will it reclaim number one? We also talk about National Cinema Day and why 50 Cent is so pissed.Bootyology is a refreshing change of pace. Even the silliest movies we cover have an air of seriousness around them. A mockumentary about two white rappers who rap exclusively about butts has nothing serious to say,

THIS IS A SPOILER FILLED REVIEW OF THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETERAs iconic as Dracula is, there are not many blockbusters centered around him.

It has been a Barbie world for the past few weeks. On our last episode, Blake made a bold prediction. We check up to see how well his comment aged and also go back to a time before “Go Ninja! Go Ninja! GO!” had entered the lexicon to see how well the Ninja Turtles of three decades ago would have fared against Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster.Scary movies and coming of age stories traffic in the familiar. This is not a bad thing. The relatability and comfort they bring is part of what makes them so

Barbie continues its box office onslaught but how did it fare against Haunted Mansion? And what would have happened if it came out at the same time in 2019? What kid has not at one point or another dreamed of being an astronaut? Who has not gazed at the stars or wondered what is out there? How many have demanded the upcoming streaming service from NASA?We have reviewed four movies with Kyle Gallner on our humble little podcast.

The show starts with a talk about Barbie. It has been a strange year at the box office and Greta Gerwig’s latest release surpassed expectations in a record breaking opening. The question becomes what can stop it? It may not be until the October release of The Exorcist: Believer. The trailer sure looks awesome.Fantasia is the biggest genre film fest in North America and each edition has some great offerings.

That being said, we have not formed an opinion on the ongoing actors strike because we have not done enough research. We do address the topic as it pertains to our show and also understand that this is an age in which people have to take a stand on every single issue, one way or another.

It is the summer blockbuster season and that means week after week of memorable movies and huge box offices. At least, it did in previous years. We talk about the surprising successes and failures, the great showing of recent horror releases, and whether there will be a bonafide hit during the biggest movie time of the year.Alita: Battle Angel came and went without much fanfare.

Clickbait has been around since the dawn of the internet. So, it is little surprise that the news of a third Dune movie sent shockwaves throughout the internet. Of course, there has been no confirmation there will be a trilogy, but that did not stop fans from celebrating and both of us from complaining.For years, people have warned about the increasing reliance on streaming networks. The chance of shows and movies being lost forever means little to people who grew up during the 1980s. Back then, you

When we spoke about the disappearance of Julian Sands in January , we took for granted that we would be found. Regrettably, his remains were found this week. He was a great actor who will be missed.We admit it. There has been too much talk about comic book movies on this show lately. But the casting of Superman and Lois Lane is impossible to ignore.

We start the show with a tale of two box offices. It does not come as a surprise The Flash has underperformed at the box office. It was definitely a combination of superhero fatigue, the DCEU never catching on, and Ezra’s Miller's past problems, but what factored in the most? And how far up his own butt is Wes Anderson?The passing of Treat Williams was a major blow to genre cinema. Treat has been around for decades and was a great leading man.

Before we talk about movies, we talk about the passing of author Corman McCarthy. One of the best American writers of all time, McCarthy’s influence on cinema cannot be overstated. He was unconventional, but he was a true credit to American literature.Remember when Fede Alvarez was a good director? A lot of people seem to since whenever they talk about him they are sure to mention 2013’s Evil Dead. That was a decade ago and he has not done anything worthwhile since. Which is just part of the reason
