Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions Podcast ·

2023/11/28

The Holiday pods are coming to town! First up is a stocking stuffer of an episode, where Host Spencer discusses the impact and history of the Rankin/ Bass Animated Holiday specials. From Frosty to Rudolph to the Misers, these specials brought all your favorites to life, and deserved an episode to discuss where it all began, and the key contributors in the whole "animagic" process.

Blood Rage (1987)

Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions Podcast ·

2023/11/20

It's not cranberry sauce, but it sure is our Thanksgiving Episode for 2023! Liz is here to join the festivities, as the pod covers the Thanksgiving Slasher Classic Blood Rage, where turkeys aren't the only thing being carved. This might be the most obscure but most ridiculous movie to ever be covered on the pod. It's got it all: Sinister sinth, an actor playing 2 parts, too many scenes of cleaning or phone calls, nudity, and some of the best gore you will ever see. Put on your comfy

Anywho with Max - Midnight Movies

Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions Podcast ·

2023/11/13

Well, that got out of hand fast, didn't it? The plan was to have Max and Spencer talk about Midnight Movie experiences, and that just spiraled into the following: A Hugh Grant/ Jeff Goldblum impression comparison, a discussion of the Greatest American Rock Band, movie theater snack rankings, a discussion of Zack Snyder, and a whole bunch of trying to get back on track. Basically it's just 2 friends having a chat. Join us!

2023/11/03

Horror Movies have been alive (or dead) and well for over a century, with countless contributors, styles, and inspirations from every corner of the world. Join host Spencer in our farewell to Spooky Season with a tribute to the greatest genre there is, and an A-Z rundown of what has made horror so far, and what will make horror continue for another 100+years.

Scooby Doo (2002)

Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions Podcast ·

2023/10/27

Zoinks, Spooky Season takes a vacation to Spooky Island, as Natalie joins host Spencer to discuss the absolutely over the top live action adaptation of Scooby Doo. This might be the most early 2000's feeling movie ever made, with Sugar Ray, Matthew Lillard, Fart Jokes, and horrible CGI all over the place. So, why is this movie weirdly good, and why does it remind us so much of From Dusk til Dawn? Get your ticket, pack your bags, and join in on this last minute trip before Halloween is here!

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions Podcast ·

2023/10/20

ALRIGHT! YOU SIR, how about a pod? Now, this podcast might not come with the musical qualities of Stephen Sondheim, however we can sure talk about his masterful work alongside Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and the rest of this cast & crew that brought the iconic vengeful barber to life in 2007's Horror Musical classic. Listen, because we all deserve to... well, maybe not do EXACTLY what Sweeney wants us to do in the song, but maybe we deserve a little episode about blood,

Ki Ki Ki Ma Ma Ma it's Friday the 13th during Spooky Season? What a treat! So, to honor our favorite slasher, Morgan & Jamie join the pod to do what they do best: Participate in arbitrary brackets! Jason and his Crystal Lake cohorts have the highest body count of the genre, so we had to take a deep dive into the franchise to get the best of the best. 32 of the best from all 12 movies to find out the best/ goriest/ most creative. Did your favorite make the cut?

Snakes on a Plane

Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions Podcast ·

2023/10/06

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I have HAD IT with these MF'n epsiodes without any MF'n SNAKES. Everybody strap in, we're covering a creature feature. David is back, and we are talking about the absolutely ridiculous (yet oddly groundbreaking) 2006 Action Horror Creature Feature extravaganza. This movie was everything it needed to be and more, and honestly we consider this a classic and we will hear no slander.

Killer Klowns From Outer Space

2023/09/29

Spooky Season wouldn't be complete without a classic movie review, and this one is an kult klassic! Steven comes back on the pod to discuss all the krazy kills and khaos kaused by the Killer Klowns... okay I think we are done with the letter k. Grab your popcorn but make sure it isn't alive, and enjoy the ride!

Cinema Comparison: Ringu & The Ring

Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions Podcast ·

2023/09/22

Let's call this a video venn diagram, if you will. Liz is back for her Spooky Season Episode, and this time we are looking at 2 bona fide classics: 1998's Ring aka Ringu, and 2002's The Ring, aka the American version. Not a direct remake of the original, The Ring started a horror movie revolution in the US, with J-Horror remakes coming to cinemas for almost a decade. We discuss the merits of both, the differences, and of course, the spooky stuff. Make sure you share this with someone

Let's Rank the Evil Dead Franchise!

Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions Podcast ·

2023/09/15

Spooky Season has to take a pitstop to quickly Hail to the King, baby (also to all the queens who grace the last 2 movies). BUT STILL, it's time to talk deadites! Mike joins to discuss the 5 Evil Dead movies, in all it's chainsaw gory... sorry we mean glory. We discuss Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell's work on creating this iconic franchise, including the 2 spin off movies that have joined in the past decade, and all the crazy things that come with chainsaws and boomsticks.

Let's Discuss Our First Time: Candyman (1992)

Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions Podcast ·

2023/09/01

If you say Spooky Season 5 times in a mirror, nothing happens, but you might just hear the feint voices of Max and Spencer discussing a classic horror movie. That also might be because you left this episode playing on your phone. Either way, they discuss Max's first time watching the slasher classic from the minds of Bernard Rose and Clive Barker, and the iconic performances of Tony Todd and Virginia Madsen. They discuss the social and racial commentary it makes (both positively and negatively),

Zootopia

Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions Podcast ·

2023/08/14

This podcast has always been animal friendly, with official podcast cat Stormy taking up the whole outro, but this might take it to a whole 'nother level! Morgan joins the podcast to talk about this modern Disney movie that is way deeper than it's cute characters and name suggests. Oh, they also take 2 quizzes midway through to see what animals they would be. So, that too.

Barbenheimer

Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions Podcast ·

2023/08/09

It's the event of the year. 2 movies, 5 hours, $1.6 BILLION and climbing in the box office. Barbie and Oppenheimer combined to take over cinemas all across the globe, becoming a meme in the process that will be long replicated and referenced. So, naturally the pod had to go see for themselves! Host Spencer and his rootin' tootin' partner Theresa did the 5 hour double feature, and wanted to give their thoughts!

2 Words. 2 Syllables. Stars Jason Bateman, Rachel McAdams. Sounds like "Frame Fright". Okay... maybe that was too easy. Or maybe you're just really experienced in this game. Give yourself a pat on the back. While you celebrate your victory, also celebrate Max's Birthday and listen to this episode about this underrated 2018 comedy!

Paperback to Silver Screen: The Wizard of Oz

Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions Podcast ·

2023/07/25

We're off to talk about the Wizard, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz! Well, technically for half the episode, as the movie drops the "Wonderful" from the title. Either way, the pod is back with a book to film comparison, as we compare the 1900 classic novel by L. Frank Baum and the 1939 Technicolor Masterpiece staring Judy Garland, and both featuring all of our favorite characters we know and love. Grab your Red (or Silver) slippers and watch out for those flying monkeys, and join Spencer
