Disenfranchised

"Ah, the ol' express train to Hell! No lines, no waiting."

Welcome, boils and ghouls, to Spooky-thon 2021! This year, we're celebrating diversity in the horror community and who better to kick it off than our good and gory friend, Enola Lugosi! Listen in as we gather around the campfire discussing our love of Jeffrey Combs, our shock that John Astin is still alive, and Michael J. Fox's inability to remember which movie he's filming. 

You can find Enola at these haunted locations:

"I'd buy that for a dollar!"

It's the moment you've all been waiting for! Come one, come all, to witness the launch of the Disenfranchised Patreon! 

"There's always something formal about the point of gun."

In honor of the newest Daniel Craig Bond film releasing next week, we've decided to cover the one and only Bond not to continue his mission! We'll discuss the potential reasons this one didn't succeed, which kind of spy film we each think is superior, and pine over what could have been in "Peregrine Carruthers: Secret Agent."

"All you ever cared about is nugs, chillin', and grindage!"

Hold on to your butts, folks, because this episode gets pretty weird! We pay tribute to the great Brendan Fraser as we talk about his career and resurgence. We also discuss how deeply embedded in the '90s this movie is, how we let Pauly Shore become a cinematic phenomenon, and Brett does his best to not get himself or the entire podcast cancelled. 

"We're meant to die -- that's what makes anything about us matter."

This week, we're talking another poorly-made adaptation of a beloved cult classic media property! We love those! We'll discuss director Karyn Kusama's career, the terribly misguided studio meddling, and how much of a teen rebel Brett was! 

"The franchise rights alone will make us rich beyond our wildest dreams."

Don't worry - you are seeing this correctly: we've decided to drop a special bonus episode and backdoor pilot for some potential Patreon exclusive content! Join us as we take a victory lap reminiscing about the past year as we discuss our favorite guests, our favorite topics, and make tons of callbacks! So, you may want to get caught up before listening for that full "Disenfranchised Experience"!

"You don't know if you want to hit me or kiss me. I get a lot of that."

Welcome, one and all, to season two of Disenfranchised! We're kicking things off with a movie Stephen has been dying to talk about and, boy, does he ever talk about it! We'll discuss the careers of the principal cast, the long and storied history of both Dick Tracy and this film's production, then round it all out with a look at the various Dick Tracy video games in Brett's Video Game Corner.

"This isn't the end, not even close."

Welcome, friends, to our Season One finale! We're going to celebrate by discussing a film Brett's been itching to talk about because that man loves his zombies and the book this movie is based on! We'll spend a good long while on the genre, the lore, and undead running speeds. Then, stick around as we talk about the troubled production history and how much you should really go listen to the World War Z audio book. 

"What is below, stays below. That is the law!"

In honor of Clive Barker's return to cinema this week with the Candyman remake (yes, we know he didn't direct it - calm down!), we're going to talk about one of his most notorious films! We'll discuss the troubled production history and various cuts of this movie, Stephen schools us on the religious iconography present in the film, and Brett has a lot of questions about the lore. 

"Nice weather? You think we're having 'nice' weather? I guess you didn't lose the only one that meant anything in your life. I guess you don't feel burned out by the human misery and despair perpetrated by the criminal vermin that infest every pore of this decaying city, forcing you to guzzle cheap wine and cheaper whiskey to dull the pain that shatters your heart, rips at your soul, and keeps your days forever gray... What flavor of ICEE you got today?"

It's our 50th episode and we're celebrating in the wackiest way possible! So, hold on to your butts because we're going off the rails with the help of our friend Jim Rohner from the Cast of Cthulhu podcast! We'll discuss the various careers of Samuel L. Jackson, Emelio Estevez, and even Dennis Leary. We also try to uncover what a "parody" film even is exactly and Stephen tries in earnest to get Brett to talk more this episode to varying degrees of hilarious success.
