January 31, 2022 Night of the Living Dead (1968) with Janalee Minton
This episode of A Cosmic Void Jeremiah, Biggs, and Janalee Minton tackle the zombie movie that started a genre: Night of the Living Dead! We examine the racial message of this movie…even if Romero didn’t intentionally insert it. We talk about what the modern movies grabbed from this, and what they discarded. We note that this movie was the most gory horror movie of the time because for five months there was no rating system. And that’s barely scratching the surface.

January 03, 2022 Ghostbusters II (1989)
A Cosmic Void closes out it’s holiday block and celebrates the new year with a movie internalizing all your bad feelings, and expressing the good ones (I’m sure that’s healthy). It’s a movie about busting ghosts. But most of all, it’s a movie that we selected not just because it takes place at New Years Eve, but also is synergistic with what’s at the theaters right now. Because that’s what sequels are for, baby! We’re talking about Ghostbusters II.

December 27, 2021 Bad Santa (2003)
Just in time for your hangover after Christmas, A Cosmic Void brings you our breakdown of Bad Santa. We examine the messed up story of an alcoholic safecracker who dresses as Santa and swears at kids. The level of aggression in this movie is off the charts, but Jeremiah and Biggs do their best to chart it anyway.
