90 Under 90

It's officially October, which means it's officially our Halloween themed month of episodes, and for the first time on our show, we're doing a true miniseries!  It's "Scary Movie" month all October, and we kick it off with the original Scream spoof that spawned a whole slew of parody "(BLANK) Movies" with diminishing returns each time.

Keenen Ivory Wayans directs the premiere franchise film which stars Anna Faris, Shannon Elizabeth, Shawn Wayans, Marlon Wayans, Regina Hall, Jon Abrahams, and Lochlyn Munroe.

Everyone loves "Evil Dead II", and we already covered "Army of Darkness" so we said fuggit and went back to the original!  Ken Palmer joins us for a little Halloween appetizer to discuss the original Sam Raimi movie that launched a very odd franchise.

This week, well we're talking about Christopher Nolan's first movie then, aren't we?  Kevin Kirchman is back to complete his own viewing of Christopher Nolan's filmography with this all British precursor to "Memento", the black and white indie known as "Following".

Take a ride with us for another one of Charlie Wein's picks, the 2013 film "Locke" written and directed by Steven Knight.  This is a really great movie that plays almost more like...well, a play.  Tom Hardy literally drives this movie with the help of a supporting cast of vocal performances by Olivia Coleman, Ruth Wilson, Andrew Scott, Ben Daniels and Tom Holland.

It's Rex Manning Day on 90 Under 90 as we revisit the mid-90's with "The Breakfast Club" of its time: "Empire Records" directed by Allan Moyle and starring an ensemble cast (including Liv Tyler, Renee Zellweger, Rory Cohrane, Robin Tunney, Ethan Embry to name just a few!) that would mostly go on to do great things.  Joining us for this Gen X coming-of-age tale is the biggest Gen X-er we know, Casey Freund.

Since no one asked, Jer shares his thoughts on a certain superhero franchise that's long overdue for a cinematic adaptation.

It's not often we talk about legitimate classics on our show, but this week we're going old school as Patrick Lewandowski joins us to talk about the first cinematic adaptation of "The War of the Worlds", a very non-Orson-Welles sci-fi with an odd structure.

We're not exactly sure when David Zucker reached his comedy peak, but it's surprisingly not with this classic spoof comedy "The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!" based on the TV series "Police Squad!"  Leslie Nielsen stars in his most popular role of Frank Drebin in this 1988 trilogy-starting movie that, again, is not as funny as its reputation.

On a recent episode, Jer mentioned that stop motion movies tend to put him to sleep.  So it seems only appropriate that we confirm that this is still the case.  Katie Binkley returns for her birthday episode wherein she chose to discuss the 2005 snoozer "Corpse Bride" AKA "Tim Burton's Corpse Bride" despite the fact that he's only a co-director.
