Episode 271: Bruceploitation Month: 'All You Need is Death' (2024)/'Fists of Bruce Lee'
April 26, 2024 12:45 - 56 minutes - 51.4 MBWe have devoted plenty of time on our humble little podcast singing the praises of The Blair Witch Project over the years. But what do we have to say now that the original cast has made some pretty heavy demands? We also talk about a video game adaptation taking place in El Paso and why the opinions of video game fans may be the most reliable. All You Need is Death is a great title for a comedy horror. Have some fun musical numbers and an ending involving a bad looking George Harrison looka...
Episode 270: Bruceploitation Month: 'The Coffee Table' (2024)/'Bruce Lee Fights Back from the Grave' (1976)
April 19, 2024 12:56 - 1 hour - 66.4 MBA 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. Quotes from critics talking about how uncomfortable it will make audiences fee...
Episode 269: Bruceploitation Month: 'Sting' (2024)/'Enter the Clones of Bruce' (2024)
April 12, 2024 13:06 - 1 hour - 59.5 MBDecades ago, Anne Rice showed us that placing vampires in the southern United States usually leads to great storytelling. While it is all rumors, there may be a new horror movie using the same formula. With names like Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan attached it sounds interesting. Killer clowns have been a thing for a very long time. You would figure that two guys who love horror movies would dig. At the very least, they would have seen the Terrifier movies. As it turns out, one of us ha...
Episode 268: 'Under the Skin' (2013)/'Glorious'(2022)
April 05, 2024 13:14 - 1 hour - 56.3 MBWe 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. Big as in second box office ...
Episode 267: Easter Horror 'Easter Bunny Massacre: The Bloody Trail' (2022)/'Easter Bloody Easter' (2023)
March 29, 2024 12:54 - 58 minutes - 53.1 MBIt is not often that we cover box office blockbusters. There is the occasional special edition, but most of the films we cover tend to fly under the mainstream radar. Late Night with the Devil does not change that, but it has done some interesting business. But as is par for the course nowadays, it comes with a bit of controversy. We love hearing about movies that have taken things too far. The First Omen had already hooked up thanks to its awesome trailer. It was recently revealed that it ...
Episode 266: An interview with Joe Bob Briggs & freaky found footage!
March 22, 2024 12:47 - 1 hour - 57.4 MBSince its 1988 release Beetlejuice has been a fan favorite. The story mixes outrageous moments of humor and horror while the characters are some of the most memorable in film. We knew there was no way to avoid it, but there was no need for a sequel. And yet decades later we are presented with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. As with any remake, it was hard not to greet the news with trepidation. The original was such a big part of our childhoods we did not want to see it sullied in any way. That b...
Episode 265: From SXSW: 'Dickweed'/'Dead Mail'
March 15, 2024 13:14 - 58 minutes - 53.9 MBSure, the Academy Awards are a joke. But they are usually good for something. No, it was not an opportunity to make a real social statement. And who cares about Donald Trump’s nonsense? The Satanic ritual smack dab in the middle of the ceremony, however… It has been a tough year for the Scream franchise. When everything hit the fan a few weeks ago, it looked like there was nothing that could save the fan favorite series. We thought there was one thing that could turn people’s opinions aroun...
Episode 264: Dune: Part II Special Edition
March 08, 2024 14:00 - 45 minutes - 41.7 MBThere have been plenty of attempts to adapt Dune, but none seemed to have captured the magic of the source material. Is Frank Herbert’s classic unfilmable? Whether you are a series expert or are just watching the new films in a vacuum, there are some noticeable flaws in the movie. Characters are a big part of the movie, and there is one who stands out from the rest. We talk about the amazing performances, the baffling decisions, and how Dune: Part II’s most important character is done a di...
Episode 263: Look Before You Leap: '13/13/13' (2013)/ 'Amelia's Children' (2024)
March 01, 2024 13:47 - 59 minutes - 54.1 MBIt’s something of a throwback episode for Look Before Your Leap week. We review two nonsensical movies: one is a release from The Asylum and the other is a Portuguese import. Both are fun in their own way, but one is horrible while the other has to be seen.Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network. Morbidly Beautiful is your one stop shop for all your horror needs. From the latest news and reviews to interviews and old favorites, it can be found at Morbidly Bea...
Episode 262: She's Lost Control: 'Night of the Cobra Woman' (1972)/"Stopmotion' (2024)
February 23, 2024 13:47 - 55 minutes - 50.6 MBWe may give our opinions on a few movies each week, but it is rare that we go back and remind the audience that they have to go out and watch something. Lovely, Dark, and Deep is the rare exception. We have absolutely gushed about it since we first saw it last year and are glad to see it has finally been released in theaters. There are a lot of options on what to spend your theater bucks on, but this is an absolute must-see. True Detective: Night Country was over before it began and we have...
Episode 261: Toxic & Erotic: 'The Lair of the White Worm' (1988)/ 'No One Would Tell' (1996)
February 16, 2024 13:54 - 1 hour - 55.5 MBWhen over 100 million people watch something, there is no way we can avoid talking about it. We discuss our favorite trailers from this year's Super Bowl. And yes we chose to talk about Knuckles instead of Wicked. And was there a commercial for Scientology during the big game or are people just messing with us? Bram Stoker is a horror icon, but not in the same way as other creators like Stephen King or John Carpenter. Stoker is known for Dracula and nothing else. It is the rare case where t...
Episode 260: Fear the Unknown 'Gods of the Deep' (2024)/'Out of Darkness' (2024)
February 09, 2024 13:50 - 59 minutes - 54.8 MBIt seems like cult movies are a thing of the past. Sure, there are ones that find a big following on streaming networks, but it is not the same as the little films with the outrageous box art that was always rented out. They were the movies whose titles would spring up constantly even though they never played at a theater. Those day are definitely long gone, but one indie film is making noise in the United Kingdom. We have talked a lot about the inglorious fall of the Alien franchise. We ha...
Episode 259: Teen Slasher Week 'Hide and Go Shriek' (1988)/'Departing Seniors' (2024)
February 02, 2024 13:53 - 1 hour - 55.4 MBThere are not enough haunted attractions. There are haunts set up all over the country during October. And most cities have some type of ghost tour, but there are very few year round places that are devoted to horror. Blumhouse is doing something to fill that void. But can the studio responsible for The Exorcist: Believer and Truth or Dare really give horror audiences what they want? There are so many zombie movies to choose from that even the good ones tend to be forgotten. 28 Days Later i...
Episode 258: Let's Dance 'The Death Tour' (2024)/'Realm of Satan' (2024)
January 26, 2024 13:49 - 59 minutes - 54.5 MBWe began the year by talking about the movies we liked the least and most from 2023. Unsurprisingly, we had little crossover with the Academy Awards but the Razzies did have some of our picks, but is that a good thing? Oppenheimer was one of the biggest movies of the year. So why did it take so long to get a Japanese release date? The answer might surprise you. We also talk about the Chinese box office and how it can affect our show in the future. The Death Tour is probably not about what ...
Episode 257: Just Your Average Vampire 'A Vampire in the Family' (2023)/ 'Sunrise' (2024)
January 19, 2024 14:00 - 51 minutes - 47.1 MBDune: Part 2 is slated to be one of the biggest releases of this year. What better way to commemorate its release than to revisit David Lynch’s version of the Frank Herbert classic? Forty years after its controversial initial release, Lynch’s Dune will see a limited release in theaters. Is there anything more that we need to say about The Exorcist: Believer? We have made it clear since watching it that we absolutely detested the sequel to one of the most important horror movies of all time....
Episode 256: Our favorite movies of 2023
January 12, 2024 13:54 - 56 minutes - 51.9 MBBefore we gush about 2023, we talk about one of the most underrated remakes of all time. Largely ignored at the time of its 1988 release, The Blob is an excellent remake of a sci-fi classic. With the news that David Bruckner is attached to the next iteration of the film, we talk about what excites us - and why Bruckner has his work cut out for him. A lot of big news came out of Hollywood this past year. From strikes to a billion dollar phenomenon, the movies were constantly in the news. So ...
Episode 255: Least favorite movies of 2023
January 05, 2024 14:11 - 1 hour - 64.7 MBBefore we get down to business, we talk some movie news. Mickey Mouse has entered the public domain - sorta - and on cue a pair of horror movies and video game were announced. When the same thing happened with Winnie the Pooh, people were amused. This announcement has been met with widespread anger and we cannot figure out why. The news of a new horror prequel arriving in 2024 is no big surprise. Still, it is hard not to get excited after seeing the trailer for The First Omen. Great music a...
Episode 254: New Year's Evil: 'Angel Baby' (2023)/'Blackwood Evil' (2000)
December 30, 2023 03:33 - 1 hour - 55.1 MBIt has been a tumultuous few weeks for Scream VII. After losing its two leads, the movie was rocked with the news that its director had quit. There will still be a future for the popular franchise, but should there be? American television is a strange thing. Shows either go on for too long or are canceled before their time. It is rare to see a series come to a satisfactory end. But it looks like that is exactly what is going to happen with What We Do In the Shadows. When we spoke about the ...
Episode 253: Last Holiday Episode 'Mister Organ' (2023)/'Anna and the Apocalypse' (2017)
December 22, 2023 13:55 - 57 minutes - 52.3 MBThere is a surprising amount of genre film news this week. Godzilla Minus One has done well among critics and audiences. This has led to a re-release that sounds pretty cool. For the time being, it is only in Japan, but we are sure it will come to America. We also talk two upcoming sequels. One has us excited; the other? Not so much. We have been planning on talking about Mister Organ for weeks now. The documentary sounds innocent enough. An investigative reporter finds out about a strange ...
Episode 252 Stocking Stuffers: 'Emanuelle's Revenge' (2023)/'The Sacrifice Game' (2023)
December 15, 2023 21:39 - 1 hour - 56.4 MBIt has been a while since we last talked about video games, but some announcements at The Game Awards sparked our interest. (At least on the show.) We also speak about Smile 2 and its imminent release. Plus, how the change from Ryan Gosling to Christopher Abbott in Wolf Man may actually be a good thing. Whether the original French or the Italian spin offs, the Emanuelle franchise holds a special place in the memories of a certain age group. Short on plot, but highly sexual, the films eased...
Episode 251: Holiday Horror 'A Creature Was Stirring'(2023)/'It's a Wonderful Knife' (2023)
December 08, 2023 15:23 - 1 hour - 55.7 MBHollywood was crippled by strikes earlier this year. This led to a number of delays and changes including Dune: Part II. Thankfully, some great character posters were released. We also talk about one of the least talked about movies from one of our favorite actors. Plus, a look at the potentially great genre offerings coming at the end of the first week of December. A Creature Was Stirring sounds like it is going to be a goofy holiday horror movie. A mother carefully takes care of her daugh...
Episode 250 Banned Movies: 'No Reason' (2010)/'Beyond the Darkness' (1979)
December 01, 2023 20:54 - 1 hour - 59.9 MBLast week came some stunning news that seems to have crippled the Scream franchise - at least for the time being. What does the future hold for one of horror’s most iconic series? Perhaps even more stunning has been the success of Blumhouse Five Nights at Freddy’s. Against the odds, it has become the studio’s highest grossest movie of all time. We also talk about the Nosferatu adaptation from Robert Eggers. Over the course of 250 episodes, there has been no more appropriate title than 2010...
Episode 249: Thanksgiving Special Edition: 'Thanksgiving'
November 24, 2023 15:17 - 41 minutes - 38.3 MBSPOILER ALERT! AS WITH EVERY SPECIAL EDITION WE WILL BE DISCUSSING SPECIFIC PLOT POINTS Eli Roth is a lot like Rob Zombie. (Or is it the another way around?) That is a bold statement, but we talk about what the two horror fans have in common - and it is not the fact they both had trailers in Grindhouse. The difference is Roth knows how to put together a movie. Still, there have been some missteps along the way. Does Roth let his worst instincts take over Thanksgiving or is it more like the ...
Episode 248: Origins of Horror: 'Leprechaun: Origins' (2014)/'Hell House LLC: The Carmichael Manor' (2023)
November 10, 2023 15:26 - 58 minutes - 54 MBWe may not have spent much time talking about it, but the actors strike loomed over our humble little podcast. Now that it is apparently over, we talk about the ramifications it had and what it means for the future. We also have a discussion about the the prequel to Stephen King's It, Welcome to Derry. There are plenty of stories to be told and the possibilities for a strong King property are there. Leprechaun is a strange franchise. It is well-known with even people who have never watched...
Episode 247: Squeal Like a Pig Week: Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey (2023)/'Squealer' (2023)
November 03, 2023 12:46 - 55 minutes - 51 MBHollywood has all but come to a complete halt in recent months. One thing that has not changed is the news of more installments of established franchises. We talk about the interesting history of Highlander, the odd decision to make another Hocus Pocus movie, and how we feel about each one. We all knew that Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey was not going to set a new standard. It was clear from the beginning that it was going to coast as far as it could with its beloved children’s story adap...
Episode 246: Halloween Traditions: 'Spirit Halloween: The Movie' (2022)/'Hayride to Hell' (2023)
October 27, 2023 12:49 - 1 hour - 59.4 MBViewing habits have changed drastically over the years. We talk about how delays have become a bigger part of the film calendar than ever before and how it now seems to take more than tentpole franchises to draw audiences. Plus, Mike Flannagan has another Stephen King adaptation coming and you may be surprised to hear who is part of the cast. We have not done too many - if any - family friendly horror. This may be because there is so little to find on Shudder. This week’s show covers both b...
Episode 245: True Crime Week: 'The Man in the White Van' (2023)/'Last Stop Larrimah' (2023)
October 20, 2023 12:58 - 1 hour - 59.8 MBTo call Piper Laurie an underrated genre icon would not be entirely correct. She was an award winning actress who grabbed the spotlight in pretty much everything she was in. It is not until looking at her entire career that her contributions can be truly appreciated. We also revisit the idea of a Halloween television show and talk about the future of the V/H/S franchise. True crime stories have real life horror naturally built into them. The Man in the White Van decides to lean into horror ...
Episode 244: 'The Exorcist: Believer' Special Edition
October 13, 2023 12:43 - 42 minutes - 38.8 MBSPOILER ALERT! AS WITH ALL SPECIAL EDITIONS, WE HOLD NOTHING BACK AND DISCUSS MAJOR SPOILERS! There is so much to unpack when it comes to The Exorcist: Believer. How the rights almost cost half a billion dollars. The fact there is literally not one exorcist in the movie. Trying to connect it to the original. But we mainly talk about how disappointed we were. Do we have ourselves to blame? It is hard not to go into some movies with high expectations - especially ones that have trailers as a...
Episode 243: Ride or Die Week: 'Scream Park' (2013)/'Spooktacular!'(2023)
October 06, 2023 12:42 - 1 hour - 61.4 MBAkela Cooper has become a low key regular on our humble little podcast. We raved about M3gan earlier this year and covered Hell Fest previously. We talk about her latest project which covers one of horror’s most popular tropes. Earlier this year, we were shocked to hear that Glen Danzig would be making an appearance at the Cannes Film Festival. He recently showed up at Fantastic Fest and made waves at a screening of V/H/S/85. Nothing says Halloween like a good old fashioned haunted amusemen...
Episode 242: 'Killer Nun' (1979)/'Demonic Toys: Jack Attack' (2023)
September 30, 2023 01:29 - 1 hour - 61.1 MBLast year was supposed to be the end of Halloween. It would have been the worst possible way for the celebrated franchise to end, but it was time for it to go away - at least for a lonnnnnng time. Hollywood is never afraid to keep recycling ideas, so we start the show with a talk about the future of the series. Netflix has been a major player in the streaming wars from the beginning. What few remember and even fewer know is that it got it start as a DVD rental company with a novel idea. As ...
Episode 241: 'Shaky Shivers' (2023)/'The Origin of Evil' (2023)
September 22, 2023 12:44 - 1 hour - 55.1 MBWe love covering indie films. It is especially fun when you get to see something really special. Still, it is hard not to worry that these little movies will not find a home. We do not expect these releases to have Barbie levels of success (though that would be awesome); we just want audiences to have the chance to see them. This is why channels like Shudder are so important. Movies like You’ll Never Find Me have an opportunity to be seen and hopefully appreciated. We also talk about the ge...
Episode 240: Erotic Thrillers?: 'Undying Love' (1991)/ 'Dance with Death' (1992)
September 15, 2023 20:08 - 1 hour - 55.9 MBWe love a good mystery. Hercule Poirot, ensemble casts, television shows, we enjoy them all. Though its target audience has always skewed older, we are huge fans of Murder, She Wrote. Recent news of a movie has us excited and we talk about who would make a great Jessica Fletcher. The 2019 Hellboy remake was a critical and commercial disaster. Still, few were surprised another reboot was in the works. The latest version seems to be taking a more streamlined approach but will audiences care? ...
Episode 239: 'Transylvanie' (2023)/'We Kill for Love' (2023)
September 08, 2023 12:55 - 1 hour - 55.4 MBThere is not much in the way of movie news this week (at least not the kind we are interested in talking about) so it begs the question: are the two ongoing strikes in Hollywood starting to shows their effects? On the other hand, it is one of the slower movie months of the year, so how much would there be to talk about even if things were going smoothly. Plus, there were plenty of posters and trailers that came out. We also talk about the career arc of Bill Maher. It has been a while since ...
Episode 238: 'Bootyology' (2023)/'The Black Mass' (2023)
August 25, 2023 19:59 - 1 hour - 60.6 MBBarbie finally relinquished the top box office spot in a close race. It was extremely close and did nothing to make us believe that the pink phenom is done at theaters. The question becomes will it reclaim number one? We also talk about National Cinema Day and why 50 Cent is so pissed. Bootyology is a refreshing change of pace. Even the silliest movies we cover have an air of seriousness around them. A mockumentary about two white rappers who rap exclusively about butts has nothing serious...
Episode 237: 'The Last Episode of the Demeter' Special Edition
August 18, 2023 20:23 - 49 minutes - 45.6 MBThis podcast was recorded during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the work being covered here wouldn’t exist. SPOILER ALERT!!! THIS IS A SPOILER FILLED REVIEW OF THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER As iconic as Dracula is, there are not many blockbusters centered around him. The most well known ones enter the pop culture lexicon and have long lives. Except at the box office. The vampire movies that have sprung from Bram Stoker’...
Episode 236: Zach Passero talks 'The Weird Kidz'
August 11, 2023 12:43 - 49 minutes - 45.2 MBIt has been a Barbie world for the past few weeks. On our last episode, Blake made a bold prediction. We check up to see how well his comment aged and also go back to a time before “Go Ninja! Go Ninja! GO!” had entered the lexicon to see how well the Ninja Turtles of three decades ago would have fared against Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster. Scary movies and coming of age stories traffic in the familiar. This is not a bad thing. The relatability and comfort they bring is part of what makes them ...
Episode 235: 'The Passenger' (2023)/'Natty Knocks' (2023)
August 04, 2023 20:10 - 57 minutes - 52.9 MBBarbie continues its box office onslaught but how did it fare against Haunted Mansion? And what would have happened if it came out at the same time in 2019? What kid has not at one point or another dreamed of being an astronaut? Who has not gazed at the stars or wondered what is out there? How many have demanded the upcoming streaming service from NASA? We have reviewed four movies with Kyle Gallner on our humble little podcast. From his underserved role in Smile to the amazing Dinner in A...
Episode 234: From Fantasia: 'Lovely, Dark, and Deep' (2023)/'Sympathy for the Devil'(2023)
July 28, 2023 12:55 - 54 minutes - 49.7 MBThe show starts with a talk about Barbie. It has been a strange year at the box office and Greta Gerwig’s latest release surpassed expectations in a record breaking opening. The question becomes what can stop it? It may not be until the October release of The Exorcist: Believer. The trailer sure looks awesome. Fantasia is the biggest genre film fest in North America and each edition has some great offerings. This year is no different as it not only boasts some of the most exciting indie fil...
Episode 233: Listen to Your Mother Week: 'Mother, May I' (2023)/'Cobweb' (2023)
July 21, 2023 19:54 - 1 hour - 64.5 MBWithout the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the work being covered here wouldn’t exist. We have never been shy about our opinions on fair compensation. That being said, we have not formed an opinion on the ongoing actors strike because we have not done enough research. We do address the topic as it pertains to our show and also understand that this is an age in which people have to take a stand on every single issue, one way or another. Before shouting your opinion fro...
Episode 232: Wacky Creature Features: 'The Flood' (2023)/'Final Cut' (2023)
July 14, 2023 12:39 - 55 minutes - 50.4 MBIt is the summer blockbuster season and that means week after week of memorable movies and huge box offices. At least, it did in previous years. We talk about the surprising successes and failures, the great showing of recent horror releases, and whether there will be a bonafide hit during the biggest movie time of the year. Alita: Battle Angel came and went without much fanfare. When one of our biggest memories is that fact that a certain subset of people supported the film for the dumbest...
Episode 231: 'Horror in the Forest' (2023)/'Biosphere'(2023)
July 07, 2023 12:44 - 1 hour - 55.2 MBClickbait has been around since the dawn of the internet. So, it is little surprise that the news of a third Dune movie sent shockwaves throughout the internet. Of course, there has been no confirmation there will be a trilogy, but that did not stop fans from celebrating and both of us from complaining. For years, people have warned about the increasing reliance on streaming networks. The chance of shows and movies being lost forever means little to people who grew up during the 1980s. Back...
Episode 230: Chattin' about Chattanooga Film Festival
June 30, 2023 12:59 - 50 minutes - 45.8 MBWhen we spoke about the disappearance of Julian Sands in January , we took for granted that we would be found. Regrettably, his remains were found this week. He was a great actor who will be missed. We admit it. There has been too much talk about comic book movies on this show lately. But the casting of Superman and Lois Lane is impossible to ignore. We give our opinions on the new actors and what it means for the DC Extended Universe. It has been a while since we talked about cryptids. Ou...
Episode 229: 'Venomous' (2000)/'Mad Heidi' (2023)
June 23, 2023 12:54 - 58 minutes - 53.9 MBWe start the show with a tale of two box offices. It does not come as a surprise The Flash has underperformed at the box office. It was definitely a combination of superhero fatigue, the DCEU never catching on, and Ezra’s Miller's past problems, but what factored in the most? And how far up his own butt is Wes Anderson? The passing of Treat Williams was a major blow to genre cinema. Treat has been around for decades and was a great leading man. We decided to cover one of his more recent mov...
Episode 228: The Good, the Bad, and the Soft & Quiet of the first half of the year
June 16, 2023 15:29 - 1 hour - 73 MBBefore we talk about movies, we talk about the passing of author Corman McCarthy. One of the best American writers of all time, McCarthy’s influence on cinema cannot be overstated. He was unconventional, but he was a true credit to American literature. Remember when Fede Alvarez was a good director? A lot of people seem to since whenever they talk about him they are sure to mention 2013’s Evil Dead. That was a decade ago and he has not done anything worthwhile since. Which is just part of t...
Episode 227: 'Somewhere Quiet' (2023)/'The Robert Englund Story' (2023)
June 09, 2023 12:51 - 52 minutes - 48.1 MBAction movies just aren't our thing. Sure, there are exceptions like John Wick and Sisu, but for every Hobbes & Shaw, there is the entire Fast & Furious franchise. The Expendables has never caught our fancy and the poster for the latest installment pretty much sums up what we think of the entire series. We spoke a few weeks ago about the surprising number of genre films that are showing at this year's Tribeca Festival. We start the show with one of fest's many world premieres. Somewhere Qui...
Episode 226: 'Spiral'(2019)/'Follow Her'(2023)
June 02, 2023 12:52 - 52 minutes - 48.3 MBYou know there is not much going on in the indie and genre world when the possible KISS biopic starts off the show. That being said, it is a fun discussion that includes street festivals, the mystique behind KISS, and what it is like to see the most mountains you have ever seen in your life. What does Chris Rock have to do with queer horror? Not much. Then why are we covering Spiral? Believe it or not, there were actually two horror movies with the name released within a few months of each ...
Episode 225: Matt Angel & Suzanne Coote on 'The Wrath of Becky'/ The Attachment Diaries (2023)/ Shark in Venice (2008)
May 26, 2023 13:33 - 1 hour - 55.5 MBWe begin with a talk about two of this year’s biggest and most controversial releases. The latest Indiana Jones film was met with a mixed reaction at Cannes. Meanwhile, on this side of the ocean the director of The Flash releases a huge spoiler. How is this good news for Indy and bad news for the DCEU? One of our most popular episodes was a show we did centered around erotic thrillers. For whatever reason, we have not covered one in a long time. This week we return to the subject with a fre...
Episode 224: 'Moon Garden' (2023)/ 'Soft & Quiet' (2022)
