“Okay, I’d appreciate a prophecy with more relatable stakes.”
This week, we’re joined by a LONG overdue returning guest, our friend, author and Hellboy enthusiast Cat Scully to talk about the ill-fated (and maybe unfairly maligned) Neil Marshall reboot of the Mike Mignola-created franchise! Along the way, we make some time to chat about our personal Hellboy histories, why Ian McShane always hits, and how David Harbour fares in a role made iconic by the great Ron Perlman!

“But cheer up! There's at least one bright side to this! One day you're going to die and, when you end up in Hell, at least it'll be a step up from this place!”
It's our 200th episode and, for this very important milestone episode, we've opted to let Tucker write the show notes!
Gosh f***ing darn it you guys, this is a pretty rad episode. We talk about the movie and some other stuff and it's just so good. You're going to love it. Also, you may notice that the theme song has been remade, so please enjoy that as well. Love you, bye! - Tucker

And now for something completely different…
We promised in the early days that we’d make sure to cover any sequels to any film we’ve ever covered… and that means that Brett, Stephen, and Tucker all made their respective ways to the theater this weekend to catch the latest Tim Burton offering in order to make good on that promise! Join them all as they discuss the highs, the lows, and all points in between in this spoiler-heavy conversation about this long-awaited sequel!

“I’ve seen The Exorcist about 167 times… and it keeps getting funnier every time I see it!”
In anticipation of the long-awaited sequel to the original dropping in theaters this week, we’re revisiting the topic of our earliest episodes from our very first ever Spooky-thon back in 2020 - 1988’s classic Beetlejuice! Only this time, there’s a Tucker onboard! Listen to him rant about the function of adverbs and discuss the Ghostbusters legasequels with our own (returning!) Brett Wright! We also talk about the double-edged sword at the intersection of Art and Capitalism and speculate wildly about what Beetlejuice Beetlejuice might contain before we cover it next week (as we are honor-bound to do)! Join us, won’t you??

It's time once again for our quarterly foray into Tucker's cinematic influences with an all-new installment of Straight Up! This week, we're visiting the theater of the underground, doing art for its own sake, and taking a deep dive into the minds that created Ernest P. Worrell! Oh, yeah… and Brett's back! Join us as we cover this truly bizarre film experience!
Check out the standard version of the film on YouTube: https://youtu.be/NVHYjHapvsY?si=clqIuapbrbXrK8lA
As the second podcast to ever cover this film, we would be remiss if we didn't acknowledge the first, The Projection Booth, whose 2016 episode on Existo was a vital source of research: https://youtu.be/end_CuTDAas?si=D30OuyvGE3EfecaN

“Sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right…”
This week, with a remake of The Crow coming to theaters, we’re talking about a fairly obvious ripoff of the original film… or, more accurately avoiding talking about it! Join us for a slew of tangents that includes the films of Steve Oedekerk, ads on streaming services, the Muppets and SNL, the directing career of Jason Reitman, and Tucker’s relationship with the movie Day of the Dead! (Hey - this movie takes place on the Day of the Dead!)

When life, uh, finds a way to keep you from discussing the Will Smith superhero movie during your Will Smith theme month, it’s better if it, uh, finds a way to let you have a stellar guest on when you do get to it! This week, we’re joined by DeVaughn Taylor of the Specter Cinema Club and The Pod & the Pendulum to discuss this film’s unrated extended cut and its effect on the film’s bad reputation, the Los Angeles-ness of Hancock, the collaborative history of director Peter Berg and Mark ‘Not Appearing In This Film’ Wahlberg, and the introduction of a project we’re calling ‘Hamil-cock’! You won’t want to miss this one!
Let DeVaughn know he did a ‘good job!’ in this ep and follow all the other great work he does in the following spaces:

In honor of Deadpool & Wolverine in theaters now, we’re looking back to the first time Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds played these characters together in a feature film waayyy back in 2009! We’re talking about our personal histories with the X-franchise, our feelings on Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds in the roles they’ve come to embody, and trying to figure out where Tucker knows various actors from this film! Join us!
