This week, the guys and special guest Scott Davis get depressing as we discuss election results and the passing of Tony Todd before cheering up and discussing the darkly funny Texas Chainsaw Massacre part two. Topics include the films sense of humor, 80's commercialism, Dennis Hopper, and if Stretch is a "final girl."
This week, we begin our coverage of the early installments of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series, beginning with Tober Hooper's original. We talk the intensity of the original film, the line between conventional storytelling and reality, and if the film should be compared with PSYCHO. The Saw is Family!
For this year's annual Halloween special, the guys discuss a All Hallow's Eve tradition: the watching of The Paul Lynde Halloween Special! Along with special guests Jenn Rich-Hartle, Mary Steadman and Leigh of the "Actual Leigh" podcast, we talk puns, witches, and KISS...all the staples of 70's variety show nonsense. Please enjoy and, of course, Happy Halloween!
The last of our Halloween month entries, we discuss the 2009 update of the NIGHT OF THE DEMONS franchise, with topics including problematic stars, halloween parties, and how the film feels weirdly wholesome about being edgy. No costume, No Candy!
Halloween month continues with the visually striking LADY IN WHITE, a combination of A Christmas Story and James Whale Universal films (and a little Giallo), and a Coming-of-Age film. We talk visual motifs, memoir tropes, and gush over quiet american decency. It's a lovely film, go check it out and give us a listen!
Halloween celebrations continue with the 2006 animated film MONSTER HOUSE, a strange combination of uplifting coming-of-age tropes and vaguely mean-spirited cynicism. We discuss the perfect pacing, heartwarming humor and general social ills, all while enjoying this offbeat little film.
We begin our Halloween season offerings with an offbeat choice: Don Coscarelli's early coming-of-age comedy KENNY & COMPANY, featuring cast and crew from horror cult classic PHANTASM. We discuss child safety, mortality, and, of course, Halloween shenanigans.
Guest choice wraps up with special guest Kelly Ahern and her choice CABIN FEVER. With her help, we discuss the way comedy can provide safety against the truly horrific, the nihilistic horror of the film, authority figures in film, and pancakes.
Guest choice month rolls on with DARKNESS, a weird little film chosen by special guest Janice Pratt! With Janice, we try to unravel the film with topics such as strong tropes, assured direction and some constructive views on how the film could have been stronger. So go smash open your living room and monologue at your grand-daughter and enjoy the conversation on DARKNESS!
Guest choice month rolls on with THE DARK TOWER! Jenn Rich-Hartle joins us once again as a last minute substitute guest to discuss the film and it's various ups and downs, with topics ranging from the strong casting of the film, the value of adaptations, and whether or not time has been kind to the generally lukewarm audience response to the film.
