Years ago, we excitedly discussed the upcoming remake of Salem’s Lot. It was unclear whether it was going to hit theaters or go straight to streaming, but we could not wait. The release date came and went but the movie never came out. Supposedly, it comes out this October. Do we still care?The Running Man seems to have gotten lost in the plethora of 1980s action movies. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger at his peak and written by Stephen King, the dystopian sci-fi flick stands apart from the rest of

Few kids in the 1990s would have believed that Trent Reznor would go on to become an Oscar winning film composer. For some of us, it is even more surprising that Nine Inch Nails will be providing the soundtrack for the next Tron movie. We also talk about a recent casting announcement for Soulm8te.Where to even begin when talking about Caligula? The stories behind the constantly changing screenplay are interesting. How actors refused huge paydays based on moral grounds is also ironic considering how

David Lynch is one of our favorite directors. We talk about his recent announcements and look back on some of his films. The Babadook was one of the first horror movies to garner huge internet buzz. It was a “You gotta see this!” that had everyone talking. For its ten year anniversary it will be rereleased in theaters. Will it leave the same impression?We continue our look at sex and horror with a topic we have never discussed before. Both of this week’s movies claim to deal with sadomasochism. One

Bioshock is one of the greatest games of all time. It is not just a one off either as it has two impressive sequels. The stories tackle individuality, class, race, and a myriad of themes in a world filled with 1950s art deco and futuristic technology. They are the definition of “must play” video games.How we overlooked that an adaption is coming to Netflix is beyond us. But we did see the news that the budget has been lowered for it. Will this negatively impact a story filled with awesome powers and

Before we get to Fantasia we talk about the rumored Spawn movie. There have been reports about this film for literally decades. Is there any reason to be excited this time around? Plus, a remake that has taken surprisingly long to see the light of day. And sharks, folk horror, and more sharks!We love exploitation films. We have also been known to enter the world of arthouse cinema on our humble little podcast. But what happens when the two worlds collide? Hollywood 90028 is not the only movie to

SPOILER ALERT!!!!! THIS SPECIAL EDTION INCLUDES DISCUSSION ABOUT SPECIFIC PLOT POINTS IN LONGLEGSWe have talked about the marketing of the film for months. Using old school viral marketing and trailers that never showed Nicolas Cage, Longlegs was a creepy throwback that worked. The movie opened in the top five and became Cage’s biggest opening in decades. Should other movies go this route?The unintended consequences of all the talk is that opinions have been split about Longlegs. Critics may love,

Horror has plenty of well-known franchises, but there are not many cinematic universes. Except for one very popular one. The Conjuring universe is probably not going away anytime soon, but the final movie in the series has been announced. We also talk about a franchise that was popular when we were younger, went away for a few years, then came back stronger than ever.The Inheritance sounds cut and dry. A rich family comes together for the first time in years in order to celebrate their father’s 75th

When we discussed an Emmanuelle movie earlier this year, we had no idea there was another one coming. And this one with a top flight notch cast. We also discuss Inside Out 2 crossing the $1 billion dollar mark at the box office and what it says about how we look at flops today. Though it probably will not make as much money, we are still excited about the upcoming Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and its upcoming world premiere.We all already know the country has an awful choice to make.

Since Jordan Peele’s next movie is not scheduled to release until 2026, there is not much to talk about. It does lead into a conversation about new ideas in Hollywood, however. We also talk about the awesome marketing behind Longlegs.Sometimes, there is too much importance placed on being wholly original. We get so caught up in seeing something completely different that we forget that bringing a new perspective to an old idea can be just as exciting. The Weekend is a great example. It is your basic

We were not the only ones who loved Late Night With the Devil. It has set box office records for all independent film and has been critically praised. We talk about what its immediate future holds.

David Lynch recently made an announcement, and in typical Lynchian fashion, nothing is as simple as it seems. One thing is for certain: it will be a treat for our eyes and ears. We also talk about one of the strangest musicals we have ever heard of.

It is almost impossible to quantify what Roger Corman has done for horror. He pretty much invented B horror, launched the careers of some of the most talented directors of all time, and is behind some of the most iconic genre films of all time. His influence can be seen in the video box art that older fans pine about and in podcasts like our own. He is a true icon.Typecasting is an interesting part of Hollywood.

We talk about a major casting decision for the show and how the original movie is overrated.The Strangers is one of the best home invasion movies of all time.

A few weeks back we discussed unfilmable books. One that is often brought up is Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian. Reportedly, another adaptation is in the works. There is a reason that the many attempts to adapt it have fallen apart, however.As the name implies, Southern Gothic is a subgenre that is heavily influenced by elements of the American south. Anne Rice and A Streetcar Named Desire are two of the most well known examples. This week we look at one author’s struggle to complete her

A few weeks ago we talked about The First Omen and how it needed to make cuts in order to avoid an NC-17 rating. Blake brought up an interesting point. What if the movie was horrible and was relying on being over the top to garner word of mouth? And cinema history has shown that an entire film being gross just for the sake of it is not usually a good thing.The first movie we review this week is The Coffee Table.

We have franchises on our minds this week. We did not think The Pope's Exorcist was a big hit. It underperformed at the box office and any time we heard about the Russel Crowe movie, it was just about how awful it was. Apparently, it has gathered a cult following. How big of a fanbase? Would you believe a trilogy? We also talk about the new Matrix movie and the importance of knowing when to quit.Scarlett Johansson is one of the biggest movie stars in the world.
