Miriam confesses she turned this movie off after watching the first 30 minutes and originally found it boring. Chris forces her to watch this southern dramedy classic and she loves it! We talk about the original cafe the film is based on, bee charming, southern foods and our personal experience at The Whistle Stop Cafe. Towanda!

Mark Jones joins me this week to talk about creating the franchise that made audiences fall in love with a whole new kind of monster. I am of course talking about 1993's "Leprechaun." Jones talks about the research that went into making the cult classic (which sequels are still being made), the experience of first time directing and discovering an actress that would become an icon to the world. Also, we chat about the possibility of a 30th anniversary of "Leprechaun," which would be jammed packed with never-before-seen footage!

Miriam has never heard of the early 2000’s thriller that made audiences see Robin Williams in a different light. Chris talks about the making of the film, and the nods to famous photographers, while Miriam explores the history of the actors, where it all began for them and what some of them originally wanted to do as a career.

Miriam has never heard of the courtroom comedy and it is up to Chris to make sure she finds out the true meaning to the word, “yute.” Tune in to learn about mud in the tires, grits and what Joe Pesci has been up to ever since he left the business. Also, the planned sequel and novel sequel to the 90’s classic that made Marisa Tomei a star.

A lifelong fan of KISS and a lover of movies, Carl Dupré, created one the the coolest movies of my teenaged years, “Detroit Rock City.” With a killer storyline and amazing soundtrack, Carl crafted a 90’s classic that stands the test of times. The movie was made by KISS fans with so much heart and so much love, that the making of the film is as wonderful as the actual film.

Chris introduces Miriam to the film he saw at the drive-in when he was starting out in college. Miriam discovers the history of DB Cooper, Chris does a deep dive in the history of the crew of the film, and together they discover the true meaning of the film.

Turns out Miriam already knew about this one, but that doesn't stop Chris from showing it to her again. We discuss the history of Wakita (the town where the movie was filmed), Miriam talks about T.O.T.O. (where the idea of Dorothy came from) and Chris ends the internet rumors about rip offs of “Twister.” Together, they discuss the possibility of sequel and the planned remake.

John A. Russo is one of the most iconic names in horror. Back in the 60's with George A. Romero, he co-created one of the most iconic horror films of all time, "Night of the Living Dead." Together, John and George re-defined the zombie genre, inspiring millions of people worldwide and frightening audiences for generations. This is a personal favorite of mine, as I have loved "Night" since I was a small child, watching it every Saturday from a VHS purchased for $2.50. After listening, please check out his latest work, "My Uncle John is a Zombie!" and on YouTube, "Eve of Destruction 2020."

Miriam was a little skeptical on seeing this 2007 classic that brought improv comedy films back into public eye. However, you can't go wrong with a movie that was almost an instant success, launching many careers and enhancing already established actors. Chris reflects what his college friend thought of the movie, at the time it came out; Miriam does a deep dive in the history of the film and together, they discover what it means to be Superbad.

Chris and Miriam discuss one of their favorite movies of all time. Miriam talks about her love of this movie, and Chris does a deep dive in to the difficult making that brought dancing back in to movies. Together, they have the time of their lives.
