Ep. 321-Finch, The Beta Test, and More! Nov 05, 2021

Show notes

Ron, Steve, and John talk about the mixed-to-negative buzz around Marvel's newest effort, The Eternals, before moving on to a few recent releases they've actually seen, including the new emotional sci-fi road movie, Finch; Jim Cummings's latest dark comedy/thriller, The Beta Test; and the 7th Paranormal Activity flick, Next of Kin.

Ep. 320-Watchlist: Horror Movies You Might Have Missed Oct 29, 2021

Show notes

The guys celebrate the season by digging into a round robin discussion of (mostly) worthwhile horror movies that could be obscure to, or just under-appreciated by, modern audiences.

Ep. 319-Halloween Kills, Dune, DC FanDome Oct 22, 2021

Show notes

After comparing notes on recent online hype event DC FanDome, Ronald, Steve, and John take a long look at the divisive new entry in the Michael Myers series, Halloween Kills, and discuss why the The Shape endures. Ronald and John also have a few things to say about Dune, which is streaming on HBO Max as of today.

Ep. 318-Watch-em-all: Wes Craven’s New Nightmare, Freddy vs. Jason, and A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) Oct 15, 2021

Show notes

After 6 films in 7 years, the Elm Street franchise slowed down. Since 1991, only three entries have been released, each one a different attempt to jumpstart or reinvent the series: 1994’s Wes Craven’s New Nightmare, 2003’s Freddy vs Jason, and 2010’s widely detested remake. The films are as diverse in tone as they are qualitatively uneven. Ron, Steve, and John pop a few Sta Up tablets and lock in for a long night, because this Watch-em-all isn’t gonna finish itself.

Ep. 317-Fantastic Fest Recap Oct 08, 2021

Show notes

Ron, Steve, and John review the movies they saw via the virtual version of this year's Fantastic Fest, including the latest doc from friend of the show Scott Barber, This is GWAR. Then they discuss the avalanche of stuff they've seen recently, from The Many Saints of Newark to the full season of Midnight Mass and the finale of What If...?

Ep. 316-The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Midnight Mass Sep 24, 2021

Show notes

Ronald, Steve, and John talk about Marcia Lucas’s recent disparaging comments about the Star Wars prequels and sequels (aka any Star Wars film she didn’t work on); Michael Showalter’s emotional and funny new biopic The Eyes of Tammy Faye; and the latest Netflix horror mini-series from director Mike Flanagan, Midnight Mass.

Ep. 315-Malignant, The Morning Show Sep 17, 2021

Show notes

Movie news! Ronald talks about a few recent purchases of physical media (whatever that is)! Ronald and John report on the new season of The Morning Show! And, finally, earning all these exclamation points, the new James Wan film, Malignant, has hit theaters and HBO Max. WTF? The guys sort through their shattered brains to cut the answers out, including a spoiler section at the end of the episode.

Ep. 314-Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Queenpins Sep 10, 2021

Show notes

After its successful opening weekend, the guys discuss Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings's box office numbers, and John shares his thoughts on the movie itself. Then Ron and Steve compare notes on Queenpins, the new true crime comedy starring Kristen Bell, Vince Vaughn, Paul Walter Hauser, and Kirby Howell-Baptiste.

Ep. 313-Vacation Friends and Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed Sep 03, 2021

Show notes

Let's just put a happy little podcast right here.

Ep. 312-Candyman, Reminiscence, Coda and Stillwater Aug 27, 2021

Show notes

It’s another multi-topic catchup episode as Ronald, Steve, and John share thoughts on the first trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home and then discuss the new Candyman movie, Hugh Jackman’s noirish Reminiscence, the uplifting drama of Coda, and Matt Damon and Tom McCarthy’s unusual ripped-from-the-headlines thriller, Stillwater.
