September 16, 2023Ghost of Frankenstein (1942)
The first Frankenstein franchise film without Karloff and it shows! In this episode:
Jason tries to see how many times he can call Ghost of Frankenstein's plot "bonkers".

William still finds plenty to like about this movie even though today's Frankenstein fans are unimpressed.

See Dr. Henry Frankenstein transform from to Colin Clive to Cedric Hardwicke after he dies. The afterlife has not been kind to the not-so-good-Doctor.

Can this franchise get worse? Maybe, but Bela Lugosi's Ygor is still the best! Can't kill him, can you?

William bubbles over the frothing soupy serum of this movie's production history.

And that Arthur song about Dr. Jekyll is a bop and nobody will tell me otherwise.

June 10, 2023 We Watched Across The Spiderverse, How Was It?
Exclusively in theatres currently, we just watched Spiderman: Across The Spiderverse, the 2nd installment in a 3 part series rivaling the Spiderman trilogy and The Amazing Spiderman duology. In this video, we talk about this great animated masterpiece, so great it had to be split in 2, making us want more from the amazing universe. We discuss the character arcs in this movie and how they made these characters we've grown to love so much more human, and how jam-packed with Easter eggs to find this movie is.
Follow us on your favorite platform so you don't miss when we watch and review the last installment Spiderman: Beyond the Spiderverse coming out next year!

May 22, 2023Dr. Cyclops (1940)
I guess when you go to this doctor, you'll have to learn to be a little patient. In this episode:
William elaborates on this movie's crazy convincing special effects!

Then Jason bloviates this movie's contrived and silly diegesis. (2 new words!)
