2024/11/01

Matt and Ted Fagan catch up to the Scream franchise in what is still, at the time of this writing, the last entry in the series. But probably not for long. This episode was recorded well over a year before publication, and the future of Scream 7 has changed considerably!What hasn't changed is Scream 6. which is like a teenager in a slasher movie: horny and uncertain. But we still love our friends from Woodsboro, even when they do us a little dirty.

Scream 5 (the five is silent) corrects many of the mistakes of Scream 4, makes a few all-new mistakes, and generally entertains the heck out of us! Matt Fagan describes his perfect theatrical experience with the 2022 Scream, and even his less-forgiving brother Ted winds up having a good time. Until we have our dream sequel where all the dead Ghostfaces battle Pinhead in Hell, at least there's Scream 5!

Full video for this episode is available on the Depot Devoid Podcast channel on YouTube!Scream 3 might roll around at the bottom of the inverted bell curve that represents the arc of the franchise, but the Depot Devoid Podcast can't just skip over it. Our dear chums Gail and Dewey are, as always, a joyous company to keep, but for a movie from a genre master (in a franchise that acknowledges the mechanics of good horror storytelling) it falls short of expectations.Matt Fagan loves the Scream

Happy Halloween, friends, and we hope you packed your bags because... Woodsboro Goes To College! And Depot Devoid Podcast tags along for the ride. This rushed production is so full of holes, it's a wonder the actors didn't all fall out, yet for some reason it remains a delight to watch. Dewey limps. Gail streaks. Randy is full of more holes than the plot itself! Come on out to our party, and don't forget: harmonica style is okay!

They're starting with Scream One, famously regarded as the best of the prequels to Scream 3, and one of Matt's favorite Courteney Cox vehicles. Does anybody have anything new to say about Scream? Probably not! But Woodsboro is a kickass place to hang out in. If you're not getting stabbed.Also available as a full video on the Depot Devoid YouTube Channel.

A full video version of this episode is available on the Depot Devoid YouTube channel!Our TRANSFORMERS saga comes to a close with part 4, in which Matt and Ted reveal their terrible, terrible ideas for a new Transformers movie adaptation. It has been a difficult journey, mostly because we had to watch the 2007 Transformers movie to get here, but we started this quest with two living Fagan brothers and we finished with the same number. At the Depot Devoid Podcast, we consider that a victory.

The destruction continues in part 3! How can you make a worse Transformers movie than Michael Bay, if you don't watch the Transformers movie by Michael Bay? I promise you, if we could have found a way, we would have. Instead, stupid nerd loser brothers Matt Fagan and Ted Fagan endure the most epically punishing six or seven hours ever committed to screen: the running time of the 2007 live-action 'movie' Transformers.Our goal, this whole time, has been to study the Transformers franchise and, armed

Our quest: to make a worse Transformers movie than Michael Bay! The great labor continues in Part II, where we examine the 1986 animated film TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE, which we know is a beloved childhood classic. But is it a good Transformers movie?Are you sure?Fun, sorrow, nostalgia, disappointment, butt-rock, and anger will all be on the table, in this smorgasbord of giant robots and galactic conflict.

People have a lot to say about what Michael Bay could have done better. But what's lost in that discussion is a far more interesting question: how could Michael Bay have made the Transformers movie WORSE?Matt Fagan and Ted Fagan embark on an epic journey to understand the Essential Truth of the Transformers, with the ultimate goal of creating the worst, least satisfying Transformers movie possible!

My Other Brother D.A.R.Y.L.

2024/08/27

Matt Fagan and his brother Ted watch a beloved childhood favorite, the 1986 sci-fi blandathon D.A.R.Y.L.! Nostalgia and good will, our most powerful weapons, stand firm against the grownup problems of terrible pacing and muddled themes. And they are pretty big problems! But amazing child actors like Barret Oliver and Danny Corkill make this one a standout. One of the best pecker contests of the eighties!

Doppelganger? I Hardly Know 'Er!

2024/08/20

Join Matt Fagan as he grabs his brother Ted by the scruff of the neck and rubs his face in Doppelganger!We all make mistakes, but none of our mistakes from 1993 were released direct-to-video. Drew Barrymore, hot on the heels of her scathing memoir, and the title role in box-office bomb Poison Ivy, is desperate to show the world that she is an adult. Doppelganger was... not the right vehicle for that assertion.

Ted Fagan is not amused. Alien vs. Predator did not amuse him one bit! But Matt's enthusiasm will not falter beneath his withering gaze.

If we were David Banner and we needed something to make us mad enough to hulk out, we would watch Highlander II: The Quickening. For the first time since this turd was steaming up theaters in 1991, Matt Fagan and Ted Fagan view the original cut of Highlander II, complete with the alien prologue. A version so reviled that by the time it reached home video a few months later, all references to the alien planet had been removed - a wise decision which did nothing to improve the movie.

The Quest... or Frog Dreaming?

2024/08/01

Ostensible adults Ted Fagan and Matt Fagan return to a sacred space from childhood, the 1986 kids' adventure movie The Quest. Or is it called Frog Dreaming? Henry Thomas (E.T.) plays an inventive fourteen-year-old, determined to expose the truth behind a monster that lives in a flooded quarry. The brothers have mixed feelings about the results, but a lot of fun revisiting this artifact that Matt hadn't seen for over thirty years.

Nothing Hides Evidence Like a Stew: Dr. Caligari (1989)

Should Matt Fagan have been allowed to watch this film at sixteen? Should Ted Fagan have been allowed to watch it at forty? Big brother Matt introduces Ted to one of the strangest films he ever saw, the 1989 avant-garde science fiction theater experiment Dr. Caligari. Matt was so obsessed with this movie that he once opened up a wholesale account with an adult film distributor because it was, somehow, the only legal way to obtain a copy on DVD. Ted once had a legendary twitch in Nagasaki, uh

...but Matt loves it! Never before have two brothers been on opposite sides of an issue so meaningful. Matt becomes a thirteen-year-old boy again, and Ted becomes your prudish old nan as they discuss the ten-inch party balloon filled with blood that is RoboCop. In a world where everyone is either the perpetrator of a crime, the victim of a crime, or Buckaroo Banzai, can Matt and Ted put their differences aside long enough to get distracted and talk about something else?

Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death

Depot Devoid: A Movie Podcast for Dead People ·

2024/07/02

Ted and Matt Fagan revisit a campy classic from their youths! Matt gushes about his weird girl-crush on Karen Mistal, and exposes the secret connection between this movie and the Pamela Anderson tv series VIP. Ted commits treason, and advocates cannibalism against Bill Maher. All this, and a movie that is pretty smart and feminist, for a dumb exploitation flick.
