Apologies for missing last week’s release; we had an editing issue that we hope is now resolved. Here is Episode 076 of THE WEEKLY WATCHLIST for Considering the Cinema, The Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of Movie Podcasting. During this show, you will hear from your hosts Jason Pyles (aka Jay of the Dead), Mack Robins (aka Mackula), and the esteemed host of The DVD Infatuation Podcast, Dave “Dr. Shock” Becker. Jason declares open season on “The Deer Hunter,” while Dave begins to revamp his Top 10 Movies of 1949 list. And Mack takes a closer look at the least popular movies on his IMDb list! Join us!

Note: This episode was recorded on July 31, 2024, and it released on September 6, 2024.

THE WEEKLY WATCHLIST is the type of episode where we simply talk about whatever we’ve been watching lately from our own, personal watchlists. Here’s how it works: Jay, Mack and Dave have zero “movie-watching homework.” We are completely free each week to watch whatever we want from any era, year, genre, country, etc! We can finally go through our own personal watchlists and catch up with the films we’ve been meaning to see. So, every week will be vastly different. Let us know what you think of this format.

Jay of the Dead also hosts a WEEKLY HORROR MOVIE PODCAST with Mister Watson at Horror Movie Weekly.com. And of course, every Horror fan should check out Jay of the Dead’s New Horror Movies, The Gold Standard of Horror Movie Podcasts.

Thanks for listening to Considering the Cinema Podcast and Considering Horror Cinema, The Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of Movie Podcasting… Don’t forget: You can email Jay, Mack and even Dr. Shock at [email protected] or post a comment in the show notes for this episode.
