Yeah, we know that October is over, and most podcasts are probably moving onto those very well know Thanksgiving movies, but we watched a lot of horror last month, and that means you get more horror episodes, and run on sentences. The Night House is the movie that brought Ryan back to the theaters after being closed for so long. Did it do justice to such a notable honor? Just listen and find out.
Enjoy!
Sometimes you use the 45th anniversary of a movie as an excuse to talk about one of your favorite movies. The OG summer blockbuster is just as good now as it was in 1975, but now also serves as tragic allegory for the world we live in now. So sit back, try to relax, and don’t go in the water.
Enjoy!
After our last episode, we thought maybe we should go with a more “traditional” horror film. That said, It: Chapter 2 still wants to go toe-to-toe with Midsommar in total runtime…so you know…that’s cool. While this sequel to the smash hit from 2017 may not be as good as its predecessor, there are still plenty of good things to talk about…but damn, it is really long. And how did they do such a great job of casting some people…and really drop the ball with other choices?
Enjoy!
On this week’s episode we talk about Mary Poppins Returns along with a number of other Disney films that have been released lately or are scheduled to come out later this year. I know that a lot of people are upset about the number of live action remakes of popular animated films that are being released in the near future, but please keep in mind that it is okay for these movies to be in the world, and that they in no way diminish the source material. Plus, as we briefly discuss, if all goes well, maybe we will get a Great Mouse Detective live action version!
Enjoy!
This is always a fun episode to record, and usually quite long. It is usually entertaining to see what makes the list, and what criteria we use to get there. Some of us lean more towards the unknown, others toward what makes a great “film”, and we all try and include movies that were just really enjoyable to watch. Sometimes a movie just manages to stick with you, even if you’re on an island with that opinion. That is what’s great about these lists, they always manage to spark an interesting conversation.
Enjoy!
