The Four Seasons Of Film - Winter: The Great Silence (1968)
Viddy Well Podcast
Join Aaron & guest host Rob Chenoweth as they close out this year's "Four Seasons Of Film" series by diving into the snowdrifts of Sergio Corbucci's cold-blooded late-60s western: The Great Silence. With chilling seasonal vibes and a bleak ending that's numbingly frigid, this winter western totally embraces its icy nature and paints the white snow spaghetti-sauce red. Boltered by beautiful cinematography, a killer score from Ennio Morricone, and a memorably menacing performance from Klaus Kinski as the loathsome Loco, the film offers a fascinating revisionist take on the western that sets...

Happy Home Invasion For The Holidays!: Gremlins (1984)
Viddy Well Podcast
On this latest installment of "Happy Home Invastion For The Holidays!," Aaron talks about irresponsible pet owners by having a midnight snack outta Joe Dante's 1984 Christmastime classic that famously contrasts the cheery lightness of the holiday season with devilish monsters and family-friendly horror: Gremlins! Written by Chris Columbus, and produced (alongside Warner Bros.) by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, Gremlins is a deliciously cheesy casserole with holiday dressing, and a true testament to why people should just follow the rules sometimes. Even after 40 years,...

Viddy Well Podcast
Aaron and a very special guest were able to attend an early screening of Robert Eggers' Nosferatu remake on Friday the 13th and lived to the tell the tale!

Of Vengeance & Valhalla: Robert Eggers' The Northman
Viddy Well Podcast
Grab your blade or battle axe, and join Aaron & guest host Chris Wolford as they go "berserker" and pillage the plot of Robert Eggers’ third feature-length film, The Northman. This epically sweeping Nordic revenge saga combines Viking mythology with Viking reality, culminating in a volcanic eruption of red-hot Viking vengeance and a valkyrie wail. Hypnotic, hallucinatory, stunningly Shakespearean, and utterly badass, the film takes Eggers’ unique true-to-period aesthetic to expensive new heights and channels the likes of Conan The Barbarian, Aguirre The Wrath Of God, Hamlet,...

Viddy Well Podcast
This ain’t no trick, kiddos, we’ve got a double dose of Four Seasons for Film: Fall this year! Join Aaron and Rob as they stick around Haddonfield, Illinois for another brush in with PURE EVIL! as they discuss Halloween II. Picking up right off the heels of its predecessor, the film marks another slow-burn slasher with a simple premise and a solid atmosphere, but it comes boasting a higher body count and a few memorably brutal kills — plus, McGuffin Myers and hospital horror. It's gonna be another killer time, so don't miss out!

The Four Seasons Of Film - Fall: Halloween (1978)
Viddy Well Podcast
For the Fall entry of this year's Four Seasons Of Film, Aaron and Rob brush shoulders with PURE EVIL! as they slice and dice John Carpenter's iconic seasonal slasher, Halloween! Since that fateful night when a young Mikey Myers carved up his older sister like a jack-o'-lantern, the streets of Haddonfield, Illinois were never the same, and in the year 1978, Myers is all grown up and returns to the streets of his hometown to stalk some unsuspecting babysitters and indulge in the Halloween spirit by committing all kinds of heinous tricks. It might be terror for its young characters, but it...

Scary Movie (1991) Q&A w/Daniel Erickson
Viddy Well Podcast
Nine years before the Wayans Bros. used the title for their spoof franchise, Daniel Erickson laid claim to it in his early-90s indie horror hangout comedy set on Halloween, Scary Movie, starring a young John Hawkes giving a fantastically committed performance that oozes Courage The Cowardly Dog vibes (well before that was a thing). Shot near Austin, Texas, it's not exactly on the same caliber as 1974's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, but it fully captures that Texas feeling and has a lot of Tobe Hooper lurking within its DNA. Aaron had the opportunity to see an anniversary screening of the film...
