Action movies just aren't our thing. Sure, there are exceptions like John Wick and Sisu, but for every Hobbes & Shaw, there is the entire Fast & Furious franchise. The Expendables has never caught our fancy and the poster for the latest installment pretty much sums up what we think of the entire series.We spoke a few weeks ago about the surprising number of genre films that are showing at this year's Tribeca Festival. We start the show with one of fest's many world premieres. Somewhere Quiet is the

You know there is not much going on in the indie and genre world when the possible KISS biopic starts off the show. That being said, it is a fun discussion that includes street festivals, the mystique behind KISS, and what it is like to see the most mountains you have ever seen in your life.What does Chris Rock have to do with queer horror? Not much. Then why are we covering Spiral? Believe it or not, there were actually two horror movies with the name released within a few months of each other. We

We begin with a talk about two of this year’s biggest and most controversial releases. The latest Indiana Jones film was met with a mixed reaction at Cannes. Meanwhile, on this side of the ocean the director of The Flash releases a huge spoiler. How is this good news for Indy and bad news for the DCEU?One of our most popular episodes was a show we did centered around erotic thrillers. For whatever reason, we have not covered one in a long time. This week we return to the subject with a fresh take on

TRIGGER WARNING. ONE OF THE MOVIES THIS WEEK DEALS WITH SEXUAL ASSAULT AND STRONG LANGUAGEThere is lots of movie news this week. Beetlejuice is an absolute classic, so the news of a sequel was met with lots of excitement. But the original came out over three decades ago. And Tim Burton has not made a good movie in decades. And sequels made years after the fact do not tend to do well. Are we still excited? Plus, the surprising Five Nights at Freddy's trailer and Danzig's adventures on the French

A pair of interesting trailers dropped this week. With a sequel coming soon, We remember how Bird Box took the world by storm, and how much we did not care. For those who have not seen the trailer for Meg 2, rush to check it out. We saw it and were dumbfounded and amazed.It is hard to believe just how popular the BlackBerry was. It is even more surprising that it’s rise and fall happened within the past quarter century. Starring Glenn Howerton and Jay Baruchel, the film about the world’s first

We do not know anything about the current writers strike in Hollywood. But that won’t stop us from giving our opinions. Plus, the Dune: Part Two trailer and a new Babylon 5 movie.Science fiction has long explored the intersection between humanity and technology. The Artifice Girl seems like it is going to be just another to add to the pile - an AI program used to catch online predators has advanced beyond its original purpose. It defies expectations, but will audiences like it?During the opening

There is nothing we can say about our love of Evil Dead that has not already been said by Deadites around the world. So, it was a no brainer that we were gonna give Evil Dead Rise the Special Edition treatment. This is one of our most anticipated movies of the year and we could not wait to talk about it.No matter your personal opinion of the movies, there is little arguing that Evil Dead is one of the most consistent horror franchises out there. Through sequels, remakes, and television series, it

***SPOILER WARNING!!! AS WITH ALL SPECIAL EDITION WE WILL BE DISCUSSING SPECIFIC PLOT POINTS***Every trailer for Renfield made a few things clear. The film was going to be silly and it was going to be bloody. Very very bloody. There are lots of great comedy-horror movies, but when the mix does not work, it makes for a bad viewing experience. We talk about how well it worked here and how it is closer to The Naked Gun than Nosferatu.Another big part of the trailers was the support group that Renfield

We have never denied our ability to peek into the future. A few weeks back we talked about the lack of Star Wars movies. We really did not car, but it was surprising. And wouldn’t you know it, we get news is three new films. We also talk about another spinoff of from a major horror franchise.Like most horror fans, we love found footage movies in spite - or maybe because - of all of their faults. The first film we review this week gave is a chance to review the a modern take on the genre. It is also

Johnny Depp has helped audiences through some difficult times. We are not talking about any of his movies. We mean his trial with Amber Herd which provided hours of entertainment during some dark moments. Just when it looked like Depp's career was over, he is back, and you will not believe where. Plus, our excitement over the cast details for MaXXXine.We recently saw John Wick: Chapter 4 and loved every second of it. When he found out one of the cast was in their own kung-fu movie, we knew we had to

Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the biggest movie stars of all time. His new movie comes out this October. We talk about his penchant for working with the same directors and his history with horror movies. Plus, we discuss the scientifically proven scariest movie of all time.Capsules has some cool ideas. It does a good job of building tension and has an interesting premise. But the writing ignores the characters, continuity, and its own logic. What good it does do is usually in scenes that do not make

A few weeks back we talked about 65. While we agreed it was an interesting idea, we were split about its prospects. As it turns out, it did not do so well at the box office. We talk about possible reasons why and the star power of Adam Driver. We have made no secret that if we hear a movie has been banned, it moves to the top of our must see list. Which country is refusing to show Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey and why?Only the Good Survive is one of the most unique films to screen at SXSW. It's

SPOILER ALERT! AS WITH ALL SPECIAL EDITONS, WE TALK SPECIFIC PLOT DETAILSThe first Scream is one of the most important films in horror history. It invented meta storytelling, Ghostface became an iconic character, and it delivered a number of memorable moments. In the quarter century since, there have been five sequels with very little change to the formula that made it initially successful. So far, it has worked with each installment delivering a good time. Scream VI continues some of the trademarks

It has been a while since we have talked Star Wars, but the current state of the once revered franchise has us reminiscing about what the movies meant to us as children and where it is now. We discuss the absence of movies, and how that is a good thing, and the surprising popularity of the television shows. Another favorite from our youths were the first two Alien movies. The series has fallen so far since that younger audiences may have trouble believing just how groundbreaking the original movie

Ricou Browning is one of the most important figures in horror. His iconic work on The Creature form the Black Lagoon is still studied and an inspiration today. The character has proven to be timeless as horror fans of all ages know and love the Creature. We talk about our memories of the man and the movie.Cocaine Bear was never high on our list of priorities. It's a funny idea, it just isn't enough to get us want to rush out and spend our money.

We wanted to cover two movies that exemplify Black excellence in horror. Sure, we picked a movie from one of the most polarizing sub-genres out there, but the movie's plot had so much potential. And this week's feature is an award winning film that had a lot of buzz coming out of Sundance last year. We go in with no preconceived notions whenever we watch anything, but we knew we had picked two winners.Before we talk about the two, we discuss someone we have never talked about on our humble little

The Super Bowl is over and done with, so you know what that means. Trailers!!! This year's batch had some good ones, but we were disappointed on a number of levels. From our fear of QR codes to trailers basically being a clip show, we have a lot of concerns. We also talk about the prospect of a three hour John Wick movie, and our guesses for who Ghostface will be.You do not have to watch Lady Snowblood for too long before seeing the influence on Quentin Tarantino. There are many shots from Kill Bill

There was lots of big movie news this week, highlighted by one of our favorite punching bags from a few years back. AMC unveiled a new ticket price plan and naturally we are...indifferent about it? We talk about live events versus movie theaters and the performances of 80 for Brady and Knock at the Cabin.Consecration has everything needed for a discomforting horror film. The poster and images released have been downright frightening, the Scottish location gives the proper gloomy atmosphere, and the

The Super Bowl is coming up, and you will be surprised by our predictions for the big game. We also talk about the upcoming merger between Paramount+ and Showtime and the new and somber Fast X poster. Believe it or not, we are anticipating the majority of these things. So who is the odd duck?Don't Look at the Demon is an awful name of a movie. It is not as bad as changing Eight for Silver to The Cursed, but few titles are as generic.

We have a lot to say about the two films from the Sundance Film Festival, but before we talk about them, we have a discussion about the Academy Awards and the Razzies. Neither of us are huge fans of the Oscars, but we understand their place in cinema. The Razzies, however... We also discuss the new Scream VI poster.We brush over Young Adult themes in genre, but never really cover any. During this week's Genre of the Future we do just that. We also cover a couple of lukewarm trailers and the edited
