We're talking about the original Frankenstein this week! del Toro has been out talking about this was his big inspiration for...everything! With this, at the very least, being the inspiration for his new Frankenstein movie we figured we'd take a look and see what all the hub bub was about. Oh!

2025/10/29

This week we're taking a deep dive into Nick's childhood with a viewing of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein! This is a film Nick saw on TNT when he was young that stuck with him and was clearly formative in his views on monster movies and horror. Will it hold up? More importantly, what does it tell us about cinema views the pitfalls of literary horror? Also...did Chris watch this thing? I'm not sure he watched it!Somewhere on the Screen is a part of the Somewhere family of podcasts. You can find our

It's on to our first episode for Cycle 3! As we build up to discussing Guillermo del Toro's upcoming Frankenstien we thought we'd discuss his previous monster movie...The Shape of Water.

Future of the Show

Somewhere on the Screen ·

2025/10/06

Hey! We finally figured it out! Thank you so much for bearing with us as we worked to figure out exactly how we wanted to move forward and whether we wanted to move forward. Having Joe leave us was sad...wait, like "leave us" as in the show -- he's still alive. We talk. He just isn't recording at 1am with us any more. Point is, it was sad but we've found a way I think we can still continue and make it work.Take a listen to all the things here and let us know what you think. If you have

Episode 10 - Listers: A Glimpse into Extreme...

Somewhere on the Screen ·

2025/10/01

As we continue to discuss how to proceed, we wanted to take a moment to discuss a documentary that has sprung out of nowhere to take us into the shocking world of...BIRD WATCHING!!!We decided to talk about a new, documentary that's been making it's way across the internet called Listers. Is a facinating film about two brothers who, stoned out of their mind one day, decide to take up bird watching at the highest and most competitive level...and film it. What follows is the most amazing look into

2025/09/10

Oof...y'all. It's been a week. First and foremost, we want to apologize for the brevity of this capstone episode for our Toxic Avenger cycle. If you've been with us through all of this, you've put a lot of time into waiting for our thoughts on this episode and we're coming up short for you. Between some technical issues and emotional issues stemming from the news at the top of the episode, it was just a tough recording session. We apologize and promise to return to our usual extra long episode

Grab your notebook and a writing utensil, we're going back to school as it's a Chris episode this week! Chris is taking us through what many people likely think of when hearing about the toxic avenger...the Toxic Crusaders! If you don't know about the Toxic Cursaders, it's an early-90's children's cartoon about the Toxic Avenger. How does it play into the upcoming release of Toxic Avenger (2023)? Who knows! But we're going to find out how it plays into the history of the Toxic Avenger!Somewhere

Are you ready for a hideously deformed monster of superhuman size and strength! Well have I got good news for you! This week we're discussing The Toxic Avenger (1984) to see the origins of our choice for our second cycle!As we build toward the release of The Toxic Avenger (2023...yes, that's correct) we wanted to see where the series began and boy oh boy did we. This...this is a movie. Yup. It's a movie alright. I...I don't know what else to write here. Is it the world's most offensive piece

2025/08/04

And we're back at it! For our second cycle we're going to be prepping for upcoming release of The Toxic Avenger! It's a remake of the 1980's cult classic of the same name about -- and stop me if you've heard this before -- gets super-powers from toxic waste. I think? I haven't seen it yet. You'd think that maybe we'd start with the orignal film but what fun is that? Instead we're starting with......Cyrano!

Due to some personal things going on behind the scenes we weren't able to record our episode for this week. We're recording it tonight though and so we'll be back on track for our next episode! In the meantime, we thought we'd share a fun episode we did for our patrons! One of our Patreon tiers offers patrons the chance to choose a show for us to cover each cycle.

It's finally here! Superman has been released in theaters, we've studied, prepared, and watched the film while a bunch of teenagers kicked the back of our chairs!

Episode 4: All-Star Superman

Somewhere on the Screen ·

2025/07/02

Hey! It's a bonus episode! Sorta? Okay...it's a bonus regular episode!So somewhere along the line we realized our schedule meant we needed an extra episode before Superman (2025) comes out. After some discussion (and by that I mean Nick giving us a dissertation on James Gunn's influences for the upcoming film) we decided to watch All-Star Superman, the animated film based on the comic book of the same name. According to Nick, James Gunn has said it's a major inspiration for how he was thinking about

Episode 3 - Superman (1978)

Somewhere on the Screen ·

2025/06/18

As we continue to build up to the big release for James Gunn's Superman (2025) in July, we're talking about Superman (1978) in this episode! It's the gold standard of what a Superman film has been held against for decades. Between Christopher Reeves's iconic performance, John Williams's memorable score, and Margot Kidder's constant screaming this is the film James Gunn is trying to live up to...but how does the (nearly) 50 year old film hold up? The guys take a look at the film and see how they'd

Episode 2 - Brightburn

Somewhere on the Screen ·

2025/06/04

It's Nick's turn to choose our film for the cycle and he's going with Brightburn, James Gunn's original attempt at Superman through the lens of a horror film. Only...it's not James Gunn's attempt at Superman because he didn't direct it, only produced it...but it's still his? I don't know. It's all very confusing. Nick tries to explain his thoughts but mostly the guys just B.S. about the film.Somewhere on the Screen is a part of the Somewhere family of podcasts. You can find our other shows on

Nick, Joe, and Chris all come together to talk about about what they're doing with this show. Do they stumble around and forget to talk about just about every important detail they meant to hit? Absolutely. Did they record and edit this before they had any of their production details like music and such finalized? You betcha! But hey! That's the strong programming you
