The Fall of the House of Usher

This week we are discussing the latest series from Mike Flanagan, The Fall of the House of Usher. We also play a little catch up on some of the other things we’ve been watching lately. We apologize if we have missed some weeks lately, but the perfect storm of busy work schedules and sicknesses that won’t go away have made it a little bit difficult to record new shows. We promise to try and do better in the new year. Also, we haven’t forgotten about the several episodes that we still owe a few listeners out there. That is also something we hope to correct soon.

Enjoy!

Fear Street Trilogy

I am not sure I will ever understand why Netflix decided to release the Fear Street trilogy in the middle of the summer instead of in October, but I am sure some algorithm told them it would be more successful that way. Whatever the reason, we decided to wait until the spookiest month before we released our episode on the three movies. If you’ve ever listened to this show before, you may know that Roy is very particular about the naming of sequels, and we barely get through the opening before he makes his feelings known. Guess you’ll have to listen to the rest to find out how we felt about the actual movies.

Enjoy!

The Old Guard

We took a couple of weeks off to prepare ourselves for the new Netflix action movie, The Old Guard. When the trailer first dropped, we responded with mixed levels of excitement. There’s a change that some minds were changed from what we thought this movie would be. We also catch up one what we’ve been doing, since we clearly haven’t been talking to each other.

Enjoy!

The Wrong Missy and The Lovebirds

This week we discuss two Netflix movies, The Wrong Missy and The Lovebirds. In a time where original content is scarce, these two movies have been very popular, but do we share in that excitement? I mean, you kind of have to listen to the show to find out…that’s kind of the whole point of this. We also talk about why comedies can be an especially polarizing genre, and what movie theaters will look like going forward. We’re all over the map this week.

Enjoy!

In the Tall Grass

When I used to work in a video store, I remember that there would be full sections of one particular title, if it was a big enough movie. There was also a row full of single title films, and this is usually where your low budget horror films would end up. Netflix, as a way of replacing video stores, seems to be making both types of movies. I know that you might see that In the Tall Grass is a horror movie based on a Stephen King story, and think that this would have been the kind of movie that gets a whole section at the video store, but I promise you, this is a “single title” film all the way. I hope you like movies that only take place in a field.

Enjoy!

Netflix Originals

We’ve done an episode like this before, but with so many Netflix original movies being made, we had to do it again. Polar, Triple Frontier, The Unicorn Store, The Perfect Date, and The Silence…We tried to cover as many genres as we could, but we apologize if we couldn’t get to everything. Since there are no less that 50 new Netflix movies released each week, if you saw one that you think we should talk about, please let us know.

Enjoy!
