I know what you're thinking. And the answer is, "Yes, the bees." In episode two of the DIE!gest we're discussing two certified cult classics in the original "The Wicker Man" and the remake made 30+ years later starring Nicolas Cage. Two movies that are revered for...well, different reasons. If you want to watch/listen along, our next double feature in TWO WEEKS is going to be "Sisters" and "A Tale of Two Sisters". Watch and join the discussion!

I’m thinking of ending this show, because this episode is YUGE and we may never top it. The master himself, Charlie Kaufman, is back with another film and the Cream Team is here to give their thoughts. Stick around after the review to catch up on what we’ve been watching in the weeks since our last episode.

You know the Cream Team. Now it’s time to meet the SCREAM Team! Matt and Paris will be recording the DIE!gest in the off-weeks of the mainline podcast. What should you expect? Well really it can be whatever we want it to be, so long as the movies or topics fall in the horror genre. To start we’re going to be selecting double features to watch and discuss, with this first episode covering Rob Zombie’s first two films, “House of 1000 Corpses” and “The Devil’s Rejects”. You can expect comparatively shorter episodes (45 minutes to 1 hour), appearances from the other members of the Cream Team (Travis frequently, and Tom…well, who knows), and lots of (s)laughter. Get into it!

Tom is out this week, but we’ve brought in fan-favorite Paris to fill his shoes! This is a little bit of an unconventional episode, but we figured now would be a good time to cover 2020 releases we’ve caught up with since our last recording. We also have a listener-submitted discussion question that we get into toward the end of the episode. Thanks for listening, and we hope to be back on a semi-regular recording schedule moving forward from here.

It’s been awhiiiiiiile, since we have…posted a new episode. We’re back with a vengeance after a Spring hiatus of four months. Matt is leaving for Florida at the end of June, so we figured we should probably get our shit together and try recording remotely. This episode is that first attempt. Please join us as we discuss “Da 5 Bloods”, the new Spike Lee joint from Netflix. We also tackle “Do The Right Thing”, which was a first-time watch for two of us. Please excuse Tom’s poor audio quality, as Travis is currently in possession of his recording mic. That should hopefully be fixed in time for Episode 79. Thanks for sticking around, and we hope you enjoy this episode!

The previous decade gave us many great things: Cardi B, nacho fries from Taco Bell, Minecraft, and Supreme Overlord Trump, among other touchstones. We saw the atmospheric rise of Marvel Studios and the oversaturation of the streaming market. To mark the occasion, we assembled our lists of the Top 10 Films of the 2010s. If you’re a long-time listener you can probably guess a lot of our picks, but we’re here to entertain. We’re guessing you’ll be pleasantly surprised (or infuriated) by a few of our choices. Enjoy.

We're starting off the new year with reviews of two major releases: "Uncut Gems" starring The Sandman, and "Little Women" written/directed by Geta Graywig. Next episode is our best of 2019 blowout special. Do these two films have a chance of squeezing onto our year-end lists? Listen and find out our thoughts.
