The Midnight Mystery Show returns to kick off season four, and sadly we found ourselves paying tribute to Val Kilmer, to whom we said goodbye earlier this year. We opened with 1985's Real Genius, an excellent showcase for Kilmer's considerable comedic skills, and then paid tribute to his vaunted ability to walk away with a movie by covering the single greatest example of this: 1993's Tombstone.

In preparation for the new season of The Midnight Movie Show, our intrepid heroes ask the question that has puzzled humankind from the beginning of time: What if The Maltese Falcon, but worse? Join us as we investigate 1987's Alien Private Eye!

Every career has to start somewhere, and Academy Award winners have to pay their dues like anyone else. Sometimes you kick things off punching a stuntman through a glass wall, and sometimes you start out chasing a character actor behind a high school gymnasium. The third season of The Movie Show comes to a close by looking at the beginnings of some Best Actress award winners: namely, Michelle Yeoh (in 1985's Yes, Madam!), Sandra Bullock (1989's The Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman: Bionic Showdown), and Renee Zellweger (1995's Empire Records)!

No one ever lost any money by licensing a popular song and building a whole movie around it. Gold, Jerry! In that vein, we open things up with the 1985 ode to Helen Hunt and her ability to accessorize that is Girls Just Want to Have Fun! After that, if you listen carefully, you can hear our hearts break in real time while we try to explain a generation's affection for 1986's Pretty in Pink.

The holidays are known for three things: peace on Earth, good will toward men, and werecats. In that vein, the Borg Queen, Glenn Shadix, and Clovis the Very Good Cat combine to distract you from the extremely icky center of the Tootsie Pop that is 1992's Stephen King's Sleepwalkers. After that, we revisit the golden days of RKO Radio Pictures with quite possibly the very worst person ever presented to moviegoing audiences as a sympathetic protagonist, but at least it looks pretty good. That's 1942's Cat People!

We have another example of The Krull Exemption as 1993's Super Mario Bros.: The Movie proves that you can throw all the money in the world at something and it's still going to end up on basic cable after CSI reruns. Afterwards, we keep the Nintendo train rolling with 2007's The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters!

As everyone knows, rock and / or roll is the Devil's music, and, as a public service, we here at the WHXN home office watched two movies to really get to grips with the Satanic panic overwhelming our nation's soul. First, we were utterly bewildered and kind of confused by 1988's Hack-O-Lantern. Then, the goofy best friend from Family Ties both messed up his stereo and also summoned a hellbeast by playing his record backwards, just like Tipper Gore always told us he would. It's 1986's Trick or Treat!

Sometimes Hollywood screws up real good. When that happens, in times of direst need, podcasters will come together to teach the major studios the error of their ways by paying homage to the edited versions of these films they got us to buy a second time. We kick things of with 1990's Nightbreed: The Director's Cut, and wash that down with 1982's Blade Runner: The Final Cut. We sure showed them!

Have you ever said to yourself, "You know, I really liked Indiana Jones. I wonder if there's anything out there that's like that, but with no budget, a wildly varying tone, and just... so much racism? Like, a lot of racism." Wonder no longer! We venture into the heart of the Cannon Films archive to bring you 1985's King Solomon's Mines!

Ah, high school. The learning, the growing, the unrelenting PTSD. This week we recover some repressed memories with 1989's Heathers. Then, we watch the same movie, but with more 90s and Rose McGowan just being awesome, with 1999's Jawbreaker.
