25. A Dog for Christmas (2015)

December 14, 2017 13:00 - 1 hour - 74.6 MB

Our friend Christy Admiraal (@AdmiralChristy on twitter) joins us to discuss A Dog for Christmas, a movie with Dean Cain, Dustin Diamond, Santa Claus, and (maybe?) a dog. It is a TERRIBLE film, but we have a blast discussing it. If you like the show, rate and review us at iTunes, and tell a friend!

Mini Ep 21

December 07, 2017 13:00 - 13 minutes - 12 MB

The holidays are here and they're going to the dogs (and also Dean Cain). That's right, we've got two Dean Cain-and-dogs-and-Christmas-and-Santa movies coming up this month, and we've got two special guests to help us keep our sanity. In this mini episode, we reveal our special guest and the film for next week's episode. We also have a lot of questions regarding whether the dog will talk.

24. Arctic Heart (2016)

November 30, 2017 13:00 - 1 hour - 59.9 MB

Month of Thanks wraps up with Arctic Heart, a movie suggested by author (and our friend) Beau North that is way crazier than we initially gave it credit for. In this episode, we discuss insanely athletic sex acts, adorable fake penguins, UPS's arctic delivery division, and much more. If you like the show, rate and review us on iTunes. And tell a friend!

23. The Similars (2016)

November 23, 2017 13:00 - 1 hour - 55.7 MB

Happy Thanksgiving! Month of Thanks rolls on with a suggestion from friend of the show Tyler Petty. He's brought us a treat from Mexico that perfectly scratches that Twilight Zone itch. The Similars is at once horrifying, hilarious, and (as with previous Month of Thanks films Pin and Valerie and Her Week of Wonders) contains imagery that is sure to be seared upon our brains for some time to come. If you like the show, rate and review us on iTunes and tell a friend!

22. Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (1970)

November 16, 2017 13:00 - 1 hour - 69.6 MB

In our most rambling episode to date, we discuss the 1970 Czechoslovakian surrealist cult classic Valerie and Her Week of Wonders. We can't seem to make heads nor tails of this thing, but we're not sure if it matters. All you need to know is that there are vampires, magic jewelry eating, and a 30 year old grandmother who's painted white. Many thanks to Caroline Fulford for recommending the film. Check out her excellent podcast The Loose Canon wherever you listen.

21. Pin (1988)

November 09, 2017 13:00 - 1 hour - 83.1 MB

We kick off our Month of Thanks with a recommendation from comic artist Felipe Sobreiro. Pin tells the story of an anatomical medical dummy and the boy who loves him, and it's a whole lot of crazy. Topics of discussion include: Terry O'Quinn's quiet intensity, one-side face-licking make-out sessions, Leon's awful poetry, and the best boyfriend in movie history.

Mini Ep 20

November 02, 2017 12:00 - 15 minutes - 13.8 MB

On this mini episode, we kick off our Month of Thanks! Throughout the month of November, we're thanking you, the listener, by diving into our list of recommendations and picking four films that listeners have suggested for the show. That means four weeks of full-length episodes. Will we survive this? Let's find out! Rate and review us on iTunes if you like the show. Follow us on twitter and Instagram @predictocast.

Halloween Bonus: Eight Days, Seven Nights

October 30, 2017 12:00 - 7 minutes - 6.61 MB

Josh and friend of the show Christy Admiraal (who may or may not be on an upcoming episode) produced this short story for the spooky Halloween season. Now we share it with all of you. Eight Days, Seven Nights Written by Christy Admiraal Produced by Joshua Hollis Starring: Jody Skinner Shannon Campe Joshua Hollis Christy Admiraal 2017 All Rights Reserved

20. Trick or Treats (1982)

October 26, 2017 12:00 - 1 hour - 74.4 MB

The last of our Halloween-centric episodes is here and we aren't sure if this film is a trick or a treat. What do a porn director, Orson Welles, and the Log Lady from Twin Peaks all have in common? This movie! Josh also declares his choice of best Halloween snack, and much like Skinner's choice last episode, it probably isn't something you'd expect. If you like the show, rate and review us on iTunes. If you'd like to suggest a movie, drop us a line at [email protected]. Tell a friend!

Mini Ep 19

October 19, 2017 12:00 - 17 minutes - 16 MB

In this mini episode, we reveal next week's film and then talk about some our most memorable Halloween tricks and treats.

19. Halloween Hell (2014)

October 12, 2017 12:00 - 1 hour - 72.9 MB

Halloween Hell is less a movie and more a collection of scenes intercut with a guy in demon makeup punching at the screen. Also, Eric Roberts is here in Dracula cosplay. And... that's about it. Enjoy?

Mini Ep 18

October 05, 2017 12:00 - 9 minutes - 9.15 MB

We're getting into the Halloween season by talking about horror movies (we've never done that before right?)! Actually, we talk more about "Halloweenifying" our names on twitter than we do about the movie we're discussing next week.

18. Thunder and the House of Magic (2013)

September 28, 2017 12:00 - 1 hour - 76.8 MB

On this week's episode, Skinner's daughter Holly bestows upon us a magical tale of a cute talking cat, an evil real estate agent and an old man who brings robots to life. What was that last part, again? Don't worry, it'll all be explained (it won't be explained)! If you like the show, rate and review us on iTunes and tell a friend!

Mini Ep 17

September 21, 2017 12:00 - 8 minutes - 5.74 MB

This mini episode was recorded during my visit to Minnesota and as a result, Skinner's daughter Holly picked the movie that we'll be talking about in full next week. Listen in on this mini as we predict the movie's plot just based on its (rather descriptive) title. We also invent a fake Subway restaurant chain and quiz Holly on armadillos.

17. Robot Wars / Kill Box (2016)

September 14, 2017 12:00 - 1 hour - 46 MB

We recorded this episode together in the same room for the first time ever! The experience was great; we're just sorry the movie we picked isn't better. You can literally chart how far our excitement falls from Part 1 of this episode into Part 2. We really thought it was gonna be a good one! Why did they think calling this Robot War was a good idea when there is literally only one robot in the film? Why doesn't every sci-fi movie have a character named Decker? Why is Kyle such a nothing char...

Mini Ep 16

September 07, 2017 12:00 - 18 minutes - 13 MB

For this mini episode, we decided to try something different: recording in the same room. For the first time, we recorded an episode in person. Because this is a special occasion, Skinner decided to put our fate in my hands with something he called a Redbox Challenge. Will I pick something good? Will we survive? There's only one way to know for sure!

16. Dr. Hackenstein (1988)

August 31, 2017 12:00 - 1 hour - 48.2 MB

We close out our Spooktacularly Funny Summer Scare-a-thon with the absolutely lackluster Dr. Hackenstein. There is tons of potential here, but it just isn't explored in any memorable way - so we explore it for them by taking their premise and trying to make it better. Josh also takes a bold stance of the fate of crusty old deans.

Mini Ep 15

August 24, 2017 12:00 - 9 minutes - 6.51 MB

We prepare for the end of summer by revealing the last movie in our Summer Scare-a-thon Spooktacular Special Marathon (or WHATEVER we've been calling it). If only Dr. Hackenstein was actually about a computer hacker and not a lame retread of Frankenstein (probably! We haven't watched it yet!).

15. Hunk (1987)

August 17, 2017 12:00 - 1 hour - 62.6 MB

We're heading to the Yuppie-filled beach in this week's episode on the 1987 supernatural comedy Hunk. Just how hunky is this hunk? Why is the devil a time traveller? What exactly IS included in the Yuppie Program? Some of these questions will be answered!

Mini Ep 14

August 10, 2017 12:00 - 10 minutes - 7.45 MB

We gamed the system a little bit for next week's movie, the selling-my-soul-to-the-devil-to-be hot comedy Hunk, but I can guarantee it won't reach the dizzying heights we predict it will in today's mini episode.

14. My Mom's A Werewolf (1989)

August 03, 2017 12:00 - 1 hour - 61.6 MB

We continue our summer series of supernatural comedies with the aptly-named My Mom's A Werewolf. This movie's got it all: cheap-looking werewolves, John Saxon being a creep, a visit to a very weird dentist, and a man with the excellent name Lou Lamont (or does it?).

Mini Ep 13

July 27, 2017 12:00 - 13 minutes - 9.16 MB

We keep rolling right along with the Summer Spooktacular (or whatever it is we're calling it) by revealing our next film: My Mom's a Werewolf. This title is so obvious, it'll probably zig when we expect to zag and have no werewolves at all!

13. High Spirits (1988)

July 20, 2017 12:00 - 1 hour - 55.3 MB

We finally tackle a Steve Guttenberg film as we continue our unintentional Silly Summer Spook-A-Thon (or whatever we're calling this) with 1988's horror comedy High Spirits. Why isn't Beverly D'Angelo attracted to Steve Guttenberg? Why is Daryl Hannah so attracted to Steve Guttenberg? Just how tall is Liam Neeson? Why is that horse talking? Was Peter O'Toole really drunk all the time? Will we answer any of these questions? You'll have to listen in to find out.

Mini Ep 12

July 13, 2017 12:00 - 8 minutes - 5.7 MB

In this mini episode, we come up with a much better movie than High Spirits could ever be. If this movie is not about stoned ghosts, then what are we even doing with our lives?

12. Rockula (1990)

July 06, 2017 12:00 - 1 hour - 53.8 MB

In our most musical episode to date, we sink our fangs into the super goofy horror/musical comedy Rockula, wherein there are good songs, bad songs, and absolutely AWFUL songs. Plus: our hero has a sassy reflection, the ability to turn into a walking fart, and a band with Bo Diddley. We also invent an absolutely killer song about monsters mashing things.

Mini Ep 11

June 29, 2017 12:00 - 8 minutes - 5.85 MB

In this mini episode, we break down the title of our next film and try to figure out what it could be. Rockula sounds pretty awesome on its face: a cool rock 'n roll vampire, but can it match the awesomeness of our pitch? Tune in next week to find out for sure!

11. Dino King (2012)

June 22, 2017 12:00 - 1 hour - 46 MB

This movie was suggested by friend of the show Spencer Seams (who co-hosts High & Low: An Akira Kurosawa podcast) and boy oh boy, it is not good. Still, there are good goofs within this episode and a special appearance by Skinner's daughter, who is just the best. You should listen for her commentary alone.

Mini Ep 10

June 15, 2017 12:00 - 8 minutes - 5.55 MB

Friend of the show Spencer (cohost of the Akira Kurosawa podcast High & Low) suggested this film to us, so here we are. Will this be another smashing success like previous listener-suggested Turkey Shoot or another disappointing mess like the animal-themed Army Dog or Bunnyman Massacre (turns out we've done a ton of movies with animals in the title)? Only one way to find out...

10. Turkey Shoot (1982)

June 08, 2017 12:00 - 1 hour - 60.6 MB

This is what we've been waiting for! We usher in the double digits by diving into one of the coolest, sleaziest 80s action ozploitation films to ever exist: Turkey Shoot. If you don't know anything about this movie, watch it now because we are going to spoil the greatest moment in the movie (and one of the greatest moments in movie history) and you need to see it for yourself before we do. Seriously, this movie rules. Big thanks to our pal Felipe Sobreiro (@therealsobreiro on twitter) for re...

Mini Ep 9

June 01, 2017 12:00 - 12 minutes - 8.54 MB

In this mini episode, we prepare ourselves for a film suggested by listener and comic artiste Felipe Sobreiro (@therealsobreiro on twitter). We haven't been looking forward to a movie this much since the release of Crow Stab.

9. Equals (2015)

May 25, 2017 12:00 - 1 hour - 53.1 MB

In this episode we take a look at Equals, a sci-fi romance suggested by previous guest Beau North. Spoilers: We absolutely nail the predictions this week, so really no need to listen to the second half of the episode. But if you do, you'll hear our thoughts on the nature of love, what it must be like to feel emotions for the first time, especially in regards to kissing and boners, as well as whether this future understands what werewolves are, and we predict what an Equals sequel might look ...

Mini Ep 8

May 18, 2017 12:00 - 9 minutes - 6.44 MB

Beau North, our special guest on last week's City Island episode, sticks around to reveal the film she chose to fall prey to our prediction powers.

8. City Island (2009) w/ special guest Beau North

May 11, 2017 12:00 - 1 hour - 54.2 MB

In this episode, we're joined by author-podcaster Beau North to discuss the 2009 family dramedy City Island. We talk bad Marlon Brando impressions, accents, secret smoking, feederism, and introduce a new term into the Predict-O-Cast lexicon that's sure to capture the hearts and minds of everyone listening. Find out more about Beau North at her website BeauNorthWrites.com.

Mini Ep 7

May 04, 2017 12:00 - 10 minutes - 7.36 MB

In this mini episode, we have two things to reveal: the film we'll cover next week as well as the name of the special guest who will be joining us!

7. Deidra and Laney Rob A Train (2017)

April 27, 2017 12:00 - 1 hour - 63 MB

There's fewer goofs than normal in this one mostly because (SPOILER ALERT) we really enjoyed this movie! Listen in to find out if, in fact, Deidra and Laney do rob a train (SPOILER ALERT: yep!).

Mini Ep 6

April 20, 2017 13:00 - 8 minutes - 6.07 MB

We learned our lesson with Army Dog, so now we're prepared for a movie to shake off the premise of its title at minute 11. Still, what ELSE could a movie called Deidra and Laney Rob a Train be about?

6.5. Easter, Part 2

April 16, 2017 13:00 - 20 minutes - 14.4 MB

In this non-prediction Special Report mini episode, we discuss an Easter-themed horror short that manages to accomplish a task in 10 minutes that Bunnyman Massacre couldn't in 100: be good.

6. Easter Special!

April 13, 2017 13:00 - 1 hour - 58.5 MB

In this special Easter episode, we cover TWO horror movies with bunnies at their centers, just like the delicious prizes inside plastic Easter Eggs. These films certainly didn't put us in the mood for eating chocolate, though we wouldn't turn down some greasy breakfast meats or jerky if you had some.

Mini Ep 5

April 06, 2017 13:00 - 5 minutes - 3.99 MB

We provide some clues as to the TWO films we'll be covering on next week's Easter special. Can YOU solve the riddle?

April Fools Special: April Fools Rush In (1996)

April 01, 2017 14:15 - 1 hour - 50.3 MB

Surprise! On this high holy day, we take a look at 1996's romantic comedy April Fools Rush In, where we predict something that shouldn't be possible in this film, but somehow is. Also, lots of talk of pagers. It was the 90s after all.

5. The Avenging Fist (2001)

March 30, 2017 13:00 - 1 hour - 56 MB

In our first foray into international cinema, we absolutely cannot stop talking about finger phones. Wanna know what that is? Well, you have to listen (but it's probably exactly what you're thinking)! We also explore the history behind this film, and look at how it was originally supposed to be an adaptation of a video game but the filmmakers forgot to get the rights. But seriously, it's all about the finger phone. Ring-ring-ring. "Hello?" "It's Predict-O-Cast."

Mini Ep 4

March 23, 2017 12:00 - 6 minutes - 8.99 MB

Wonder what a movie called The Avenging Fist might be about? So do we! Find out next week for sure, but first, listen to us describe what we think it could be.

4. Army Dog (2016)

March 16, 2017 12:00 - 1 hour - 62.6 MB

We venture into the world of family-friendly animal movies with the Casper Van Dien film Army Dog. Don't let the title or marketing materials fool you: there's not a lot of army to be found in this one. This movie completely blindsided us, and everything we predicted for this one is better than what it actually is. So enjoy?

Mini Ep 3

March 09, 2017 10:00 - 8 minutes - 5.88 MB

In this mini-episode, we reveal the title of the next full episode and try to figure out what exactly a movie called Army Dog would be about. That's right, our next film is called Army Dog.

3. Stretch (2014)

March 02, 2017 06:40 - 1 hour - 59.9 MB

In our longest episode yet, we trudge through the 2014 action-comedy Stretch, starring Patrick Wilson, Jessica Alba, an occasionally green Ed Helms, and Chris Pine in Charles Manson cosplay. We predict so many things in this film, including the identity of the mysterious Jovi (you'll never guess who it is!). Additionally, we discuss how much a person can be bleeding before a diner in L.A. refuses them service.

Mini Ep 2

February 23, 2017 14:19 - 5 minutes - 8.05 MB

In this new mini-episode, we reveal the film we'll cover in the next full episode and predict its storyline based solely on the title (secret movie-based-on-a-1970s-toy, maybe?).

Oscar Prediction Special

February 21, 2017 14:29 - 1 hour - 80.9 MB

It's Oscar Season, and we've come down with a bad case of Oscar Fever! Join us in this super-sized special edition of Predict-O-Cast where we discuss every Oscar category and predict every Oscar winner -- with 100 percent accuracy guaranteed!* *accuracy not actually guaranteed
