On today’s Dead Times we are joined by April to talk about the classic biddy psychodrama “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?” We analyze all the behind the scenes drama and just how much Joan and Bette hated each other. We talk about the studio system and the movie’s legacy. It’s a great time.

We are still taking a break from our increasingly apocalyptic world. And are going to revisit the simpler, more caring world of Paddington. We talk about how all art is now irrelevant. We make jokes about Hugh Grant that are not as funny as the jokes about Hugh Grant the movie makes. And we have a generally nice time.

Today the Dead Times crew decides to take on the story of a death cult that sacrifices one of its own members. Yes, we are talking about the movie musical adaptation of Cats. We get into why this movie is so utterly wretched, all the weird sexuality, and how blatant it is about ritual sacrifice.

It’s a lot of fun.

Hello, and today we are continuing our journey through the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise with The Dream Child. We are joined by special guests Al and April! We talk all about the kills, the spills, and the missed opportunities. We talk about which ’90s comic book artist seems to have walked into the film. And we say the word “fetus” a lot.

And here is the fan art we recieved.

Peter and Tim discuss what just might be the final movie of 2020. Yes there is a pandemic on, but we have a lively discussion about just how good the 2020 release of The Invisible Man is. We praise Elisabeth Moss’s performance, talk about all the creepy shenanigans, and try to provide a little comfort while socially isolating.

Hello and welcome! On this week’s podcast we are talking about the absolutely seminal series Scooby-Doo! We delve deeply into all the different characters, the show’s very long history, and try to understand why this concept has been so successful for five decades!

And we are back with my good friends April and Al to continue to discuss the Nightmare on Elm Street series! This time we talk about what brought Wes Craven back to the franchise. We talk about the return of Nancy. And if this is the true sequel to the original film.

Hello! Today’s episode of Dead Times is about An American Werewolf in London. And I am very sick while we recorded. But we get into the history of werewolf literature, stories about wolf attacks in Europe, and the comedic bits the movie loves.
