This week, we here in the states are celebrating Thanksgiving! The time honored tradition of gluttenous eating among family and friends, football (if you're into that sort of thing), and avoiding the inevitable clash of politics that comes when you invite your boomer Uncle Larry to dinner. But aside from food, there are a few movies we've come to associate with the holiday. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (see our back catalog) is one of the go to films to come from the mind of John Hughes. But did you know there is another Thanksgiving classic out there. Dutch, the 1991...

This week, we are answering a listener request! John and I are heading to Freddy Fazbear's Pizzareia to review Five Night's At Freddy's. A movie we both tried to avoid, but we love you the listeners so much that we can't turn down a request. So what is it about this demented knock off of Charles Entertainment Cheese that has captured the minds of little kids and teens and turned what was an indie game into a billion dollar enterprise with toys, books, onesies, and now a major motion picture? And what is the result of Freddy, Chica, Foxy, and the gang's move to the silver screen?? We'll strap...

Aside from an impressive resume of music videos, he is also the man behind the cult classic, Mothman Prophecies. A film that demonstrates how effective visuals and subtle horror can be at inducing terror and dread in your audience. It also has one of the absolute best disaster...

This week we are time traveling back to the 1930’s to examine the legacy of the Universal Monster Movies. Why is it that these classic films about gothic castles, mad scientists, vampires, mummies, and more have for nearly 100 years captivated our collective imaginations? Could it be that these films were made so well? Or maybe that the filmmakers themselves brought elements of their own personalities to these characters. We'll find out today as we examine the classic monsters from Universal Studios. DISCORD!!! Take the conversation...

info_outlineThis week, we are returning to our well of dark comedies and misunderstood misfit movies to analyze one of the darkest comedies to come out of the "edgy" and "extreme" 1990's- Very Bad Things. A movie that plays to the trope of a bachelor party gone horribly horribly wrong and illustrates the lengths that people will go to avoid consequences. Starring Daniel Stern of Home Alone fame, future Iron Man Director and Star Wars Savior John Favreau, and a very sinister Christian Slater, this movie was deridded by critics during it's original run, but is it really that awful?
