We're dropping twin episodes this week! First up is the 1961 Hayley Mills classic The Parent Trap.

Discussions include: Accent choices or lack thereof, Maureen O'Hara the icon, Patterson Hood's "Pollyanna," 1960s relationship standards, and fake Boston parks.

Direct from Rome, Brad and Beth cover the brand new Gladiator II.

Discussions Include: A busy holiday week, the indirect reveal that Brad and Beth know each other from dating, Denzel's ubiquity, an attempt to recap a new release with no notes, and Legacyquel pitfalls,

Brad and Beth prepare for their first legacyquel by watching Ridley Scott's Gladiator.

Discussions Include: Thinking about the Roman Empire, Ridley Scott's late period, Stoicism, Philosopher Kings, Joaquin's baby face, and the long tail of sword and sandals political intrigue.

We're taking a week off, but in the meantime we have a little clip episode previewing our Patreon releases. This includes clips from our episodes on the True Lies TV show, the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Musical, and Horror Express. We'll return next week with Gladiator!

The 2024 Edition of Creepy Cuts concludes with the coverage of this not-quite-forgotten-because-we-didn't-know-it-existed-in-the-first-place reboot!

Discussions Include: Barbenheimer overshadowing this movie's release, product placement, Danny Devito is like Teddy Roosevelt, Tiffany Haddish and Owen Wilson doing their thing, and we're not mad, just disappointed.

Creepy Cuts moves into a new pair of movies with The Haunted Mansion!

Discussions include: Disney centrism, being spooky yet safe, Eddie Murphy's phases, gaslighting/hitchhiking ghosts and a special sibling phone call!

Brad and Beth conclude their discussions of The Thing remakes with this 2011 prequel.

Discussions include: Hollywood breaking directors' spirits, Mary Elizabeth Todd Lincoln Winstead, prequelitis, and failing at existential horror.

Thanks for your patience since this episode was a couple of days late! We'll be back on schedule next week with The Haunted Mansion (2003).

Creepy Cuts continues with John Carpenter's masterpiece, The Thing!

Discussions include: Whether authorial intent matters, John Carpenter's college days, how 80s directors are all really just Jughead from Riverdale, all the goo and smoke used in a studio film, and why this movie definitely doesn't pass the Bechdel test.

Our very first Creepy Cuts episode! We begin a triptych of episodes about Things in cold places!

Discussions Include: John W. Campbell is a big deal, Howard Hawks' antics, the mad scientist trope, 50s movies getting risqué, and a Godzilla sidebar.
