Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions Podcast

John Williams, Ennio Morricone, John Carpenter, Danny Elfman. Names that are synonymous with movie scores for almost a century of film... so who better than 3 podcast weirdos to decide which one of them made the best movie theme song of all time! A bracket LOADED with iconic movie themes (one per movie, sorry Star Wars and Harry Potter fans), where Liz, Max, and Host Spencer vote to decide which is the most recognizable, most replay-able, and maybe just a little bit of bias on which one they love the most.

Happy Halloween! It's the best day of the year (or if you are listening to this afterwards, it WAS). Liz and Steven join Host Spencer to draft some perfectly SPOOKY topics: a Monster Squad of the best movie monsters, the perfect Halloween movie lineup (plus snacks), and finally the best horror movie kills of all time.

Welcome to Direct to Audio Reality, where we sell the best in movie houses. Today we are showing you a house that is totally normal, no murders in it, definitely not any hidden hallways just behind a curtain, and just avoid the acid bath in the basement. Great for multiple guests and parties! Host Spencer invites guest Liz in for a spooky season treat, as they discuss the Vincent Price CLASSIC that has everything you need for your spooky season delights.

Spooky season dives into some gore and chaos as Liz & Host Spencer talk about a monster/ zombie classic: Re-Animator. With a legendary character and performance of Herbert West by Jeffrey Combs, and a great ensemble cast to boot, it has everything you need... which I am assuming is just a movie full of great quips and TONS of gore.

(Content warning for the movie: S.A topics)

An awakening for many people (including Imhotep in this movie), it was about time guest Theresa was introduced to one of the best (and sexiest) remakes of all time. Her and host Spencer talk about what makes this take on the adventure movie great, including Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz's chemistry, the CG that looks pretty great, and again, just how hot everyone is in this movie.

Spooky season brings back some friends and a joke that has played itself throughout the podcast, as Liz, Max, and Host Spencer FINALLY watch an Ernest film! There are some fun scares, and maybe the best doggo we have seen on film (even though he tries to get rid of Ernest a few too many times). For the most part though, the trio just chats about other random things, and how much they appreciate Jim Varney.

Max is on BABY WATCH... which means he is on MOVIE WATCH as well. Since he is watching so many movies lately, the pod decided to do a draft episode! Liz & Host Spencer join in to do 3 different drafts:

1. Movies with a baby character

2. Non Disney Animated Movies

3. (because Max misread it) Non Animated Disney Movies

Also there's a Megan 2.0 review in here for some reason.

Being Kind is Punk Rock... but is rewinding punk rock too? Asking for a podcast friend. Liz, Max, and Spencer (and Theresa too?) get together to discuss the newest addition to the Man of Steel's filmography, and the film launch point for the new DCU.

Well, Max is having a baby so he is going away for awhile. That means we had to record all of our thoughts into one episode! From the comedic genius of Dan Akroyd, to the Goonies & Back to the Future's 40th anniversaries, to the blockbuster breakdown since Jaws came out, this podcast has everything.

(Original Airdate 5/13/22) It's the pod's favorite day as Friday the 13th has returned to our calendars. Which means we go back through ours to a classic episode where Morgan and Jamie come on the pod to discuss our little boy Jason Voorhees... and all the other iterations too, as we go through the franchise with them for the first time.
