This week we are discussing the latest series from Mike Flanagan, The Fall of the House of Usher. We also play a little catch up on some of the other things we’ve been watching lately. We apologize if we have missed some weeks lately, but the perfect storm of busy work schedules and sicknesses that won’t go away have made it a little bit difficult to record new shows. We promise to try and do better in the new year. Also, we haven’t forgotten about the several episodes that we still owe a few listeners out there. That is also something we hope to correct soon.

Today is Sean’s birthday! To celebrate, here is our episode on The Marvels. This was the lowest opening movie in the MCU, yet most people seem to agree that it was actually pretty good. Are we “most people”? Well I guess you’ll have to listen to find out. And If you haven’t yet, wish Sean a happy 42!

This we are discussing the films of John Carney. Mostly his latest outing, Flora & Son, but also our quick ranking of his other offerings. Historically, Carney’s films have been well loved on COTR, so you’ll just have to listen to hear if this film is another feather in his cap, or just another straight to streaming movie.

What a treat, this week you get an episode on three movies! We are hoping that since you get three movies, you won’t notice that the better half of the show hosts aren’t on this one. So here’s a little horror/comedy, a little science fiction, and a little video game underdog sports story. Surely there isn’t something for most people in here.

We thought it would take a little longer for Sean to get through the second season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but we were pleasantly mistaken. So this week we are talking about the first half of season 2, but don’t worry, you’ll get the second part in the next week or two. That should give you plenty of time to go to Hulu and watch them all.

The weather is getting cooler, which means it is time to start talking about horror movies. We know that horror is good any time of year, but it just seems a little better when it isn’t 90º outside. This we are talking about a pair of movies that now available to stream, No One Will Save You and Talk to Me. We didn’t plan it, but these two movie pair unbelievably well together. For the most part, we really like both of these, so if you want to watch before you listen, please do so, because we will be spoiling them.

For 75% of us, Buffy the Vampire Slayer genre defining television. Sean was the one holdout…until now. Our plan is to record an episode recapping each season as Sean makes his way through, and just get his general thoughts, while also talking about some of our favorite moments and episodes. So in that spirit, this week we are discussing season 1.

This week we are breaking down our collective ranking of all the films in the TMNT universe. The debate was lively, as we discuss which holds more weight, quality or nostalgia. There isn’t a right answer, but the conversation is still a blast to have.
