Every three weeks one of us picks a series of three movies based on whatever theme that person wishes. We then spend the next three episodes watching and discussing those movies in chronological order from when they were made.

2021/11/30

Thank God someone who actually read the book (Kit) showed up to explain the bottom feeder depths this movie sinks to to make itself an adaptation, almost in name only. This one sucks, folks.

SHOCKTOBER RETURNS PT III - Bram Stoker‘s Dracula (1992)

Slow Motion Triple Feature ·

2021/10/30

It was recently pointed out to me that I think every movie is about movies. Which is awkward cuz…this movie, like most Coppola movies, is about movies. A poll for our many listeners: Is this film as well regarded as it should be? Doesn't it feel like this should enjoy much more iconic status than it does? Shouldn’t drag queens be dressing up as vampiric Lucy? What’s the deal? Sound off at slowmotiontriplefeature@gmail.com, I think.

SHOCKTOBER RETURNS PT II - The Lodger (1944)

Slow Motion Triple Feature ·

2021/10/19

"Were horror movies even scary in the olden days?" asks the plebe. The cinephile sheds a single tear. I mean, this one isn't really. Maybe like a two or three on the spook-o-meter. But it's good! Shadows! Fog! A very gullible lady! All the elements are there.

Slow Motion Triple Feature ·

2021/10/04

Oh, hello, creeps! It’s that time of fear again: welcome to the return of Shocktober—or, in this case, Rocktober! Mike’s first up with the 1986 heavy-metal horror film, Trick or Treat. What did we all think of this largely forgotten, low-budget spookfest co-starring Ozzy Osborne and Gene Simmons and picked by notorious prankster Mike? The answer may sur-dies boo.

What can be said about a TV movie you saw over 20 years ago and didn't rewatch for this episode because you weren't involved in the recording? Well, not a whole lot, so here's the Google synopsis: "Marnie and her kids get a big shock when they follow grandma home to Halloweentown - and find out they come from a family of witches. The town is the only place where supernatural beings can lead a `normal' life, but trouble is looming, and on her 13th birthday Marnie not only finds she is a witch, but

Mike and Kit discuss another reimagining of Phantom of the Opera but this time with the added bonus of Mickey Rooney.

Slow Motion Triple Feature ·

2021/08/10

Kit and Mike ditch Andrew like he never meant anything to them to talk about some movie that I can barely bother to remember the title of so I will just post the synopsis: A younger sister wishes to switch places with her popular older sister and the two bickering siblings awaken to find the wish has come true.

36) Out of the World Pt. III - Nightbeast (1982)

Slow Motion Triple Feature ·

2021/07/26

Nightbeast provided J.J. Abrams with his first screen credit. Shockingly, this was not director Don Dohler’s first screen credit; he had previously directed two features, a factoid far scarier than any of the alien action in this, his third film. One of the taglines for Nightbeast was “The Sci-Fi Thriller Made in Baltimore!” That’s the most enticing thing they could put on the poster without lying.

35) Out of the World Pt. II - Invaders from Mars (1953)

Slow Motion Triple Feature ·

2021/07/15

On this out-of-this-world episode, we’re talking proto-sci-fi classic Invaders from Mars. This is a film full of contradictions: a B movie by literally the world’s first production designer and de-facto director of Gone with the Wind; wildly original while relying heavily on stock footage; and a Cold War era fable about Americans coming together to defeat a foreign enemy that ends by implying they accomplished nothing. Kind of like this podcast, if you think about it.

34) Out of the World Pt. I - Communion (1989)

Slow Motion Triple Feature ·

2021/07/06

An unlikely combination of early X-Files and the South Park where Cartman gets an anal probe, Communion had all the makings of a classic abduction tale. So what went wrong? Why is Mike the only person who’s heard of this movie? Are aliens real? Is Christopher Walken? All that and more in this ep of the Peabody Award-winning podcast Slow Motion Triple Feature!

Papa, can you hear me? Papa, can you see me? Papa, can you see me through the pod? Papa, how’re the levels? Papa, can you hear me? Papa, what about my other co-hosts?

32) Actor/Directors PT II - Big Night

Slow Motion Triple Feature ·

2021/06/11

For this moving meditation on brotherly love, the immigrant experience, and art vs. commerce, the Tooch brought together a powerhouse cast including Isabella Rossellini, Ian Holm, and Tony Shaloub—but we all agree that Marc Anthony, in a role with possibly no lines, walks away with the movie. Plus: a genius screenplay idea; Andrew gets mad at his wife for daring to vacuum their house while he’s podcasting; and we ask the immortal question, “Who else is ugly, Mike?”

31) Actor/Directors PT I - Night of the Hunter (1955)

Slow Motion Triple Feature ·

2021/05/28

We discuss Charles Laughton’s only directorial credit, an undeniable masterpiece that flopped at the box office when it debuted in 1955. Comic book movies hadn’t been invented yet, so I don’t know what the supposed Greatest Generation’s excuse could have been. Kit recorded this episode in the midst of a bout with coronavirus, proving her dedication to podcasting about film no matter how disgusting she sounds.

Slow Motion Triple Feature ·

2021/05/13

Alternate title: Blow Out for Eyes. Hey, that’s fine. More movies should be Blow Out. Trigger warning: Mike argues controversially that this movie is actually about America. As a patriot, I disagree with what he says. As a cinephile, I will lay down my life to protect his right to say it.

Slow Motion Triple Feature ·

2021/05/07

In spite of being a nearly perfect film (number 18 on the American Friend Institute’s top 100) and featuring a career-best performance from John Travolta, this movie bombed. Imagine you were as good at your job as Travolta is at acting in this movie and instead of a promotion you got exiled so hard only Tarantino could bring you back. No wonder he hasn’t come out of the closet, John Travolta doesn’t owe us shit. Well, we see you, Travolta. We see you, De Palma. We see you and we love you. (Listen

Before Jim Steinman let the bat out of hell, back when all anyone thought to make was music of the day, there was a little flop called Phantom of the Paradise that went on to inspire everyone from Daft Punk to Del Toro. Step aside, Rocky Horror, there's a new techno-horror-glam-rock-musical in town!

SNYDER CUT: Journey's End - Zack Snyder's Justice...

Slow Motion Triple Feature ·

2021/04/09

In the span of a generation there are but a handful of events earth-shattering enough to change all of us at once. The fall of the Berlin Wall. The twin towers falling. A third thing that’s not something falling. No reasonable person can doubt that the release of the Snydercut marks one such harrowing hour (or four). Like Prometheus before him, Zach Snyder, the wily trickster, has stolen fire (the Snydercut) from the selfish gods (Warner Bros.) to bring mankind (us) into a new Age of Enlightenment

This week we continue our in-depth coverage of the Snyder Cut with a discussion of the little movie that launched a movement. Here's a tease for you: one of us kind of loves this film. Is it Andrew, The Optimist? Mike, The Contrarian? Or Kit, The One Who Would Let Henry Cavill Do Whatever He Wants to Her, Literally Anything?
