He seems to be the ideal guy: attentive, caring, interesting, funny, charming, etc. Things are going well until he invites her to a weekend getaway she'll never forget ...

Join us as we talk about this very cool movie! As we discuss the scenes that stand out the most, we also try to interpret its themes in relation to the expectations that society has on people's personal and dating lives.

Join us as we talk about this fine movie! We try to explain the timeline in which this takes place, but we probably will get you even more confused with our ranting. Of course, we also talk about the plot and its key scenes.

For the second part of the episode, we have a discussion on the possibility of having one's mental health be affected by consuming too much violent media, the prevalence of subliminal messages and hidden meanings behind colors, and why people might be attracted to consuming gruesome multimedia content.

A group of young people go to Crystal Lake in an attempt to reclaim some illicit drugs. Unbeknownst to them, the area is constantly under the watchful eye of Jason Voorhees, a murderous hermit whose mother was killed years before. Let's just say that things don't end well for them.

Inexplicably, another group of young people visit Crystal Lake after the initial series of murders take place. They intend on having fun by partaking in recreational drugs, alcohol, and, perhaps the biggest offense of all, premarital sex. As such, it's up to our good pal Jason to stop them :D

Join us as we talk about this remake of one of the all time classics of horror! We talk about the bad decisions the characters make along the way, the different ways in which Jason disposes of the youngsters, among other things. For the second part of the episode, we share some facts and connections to the first four movies in the original series, and we also try to put Bel at ease by answering her pressing question: "why does Jason run so fast in this movie?!"

A family moves into what seems like a dream home. The house has ample room for activities, there's also a smaller guest house, it's right next to a lake, and best of all, it was sold to them at a pretty good deal. Oh yeah, and it was the site of the multiple homicide of a family by one of its own members. Soon enough, the house becomes the site of weird activity, people become ill when they visit, and the father's personality changes quite drastically ...

Join us as we discuss this film, which was based on the alleged true story of the Lutz family. In addition to talking about its weird visuals, unresolved plot points, and choppy editing, we then talk about some of the information we found about the true story of the murders of the DeFeo family.

(This episode contains discussions about suicide. Listener discretion is advised.)

We present to you the conclusion to our epic saga about both cinematic versions of It!

Along the way, we find out about Chuy's apparent phobia of babies, among many other curious things ...

We then move on to discuss some psychological aspects of the characters we did not cover in the previous episode, namely Richie, Stan, and Mike. We present hypothetical scenarios in which their destinies could have unfolded as well.

Unfortunately all good things must come to an end, but not before we give these movies and incarnations of Pennywise scores! We can say that one of us was pretty harsh when it came to their ratings ...

The second episode of our 6th season is upon us!

We decided to keep trying some different things for our new format, so we'll be covering both cinematic versions of It for this episode, but only their respective first halves. Even so, there is a lot to discuss, from some plot points and key scenes, to the Pennywise characterization in each version.

Besides that, we then move the discussion into clown related rants, only to finish things off with a discussion of the psychological themes for some of the characters in the movies.

We hope you enjoy this one! :D

We are back in business!

This is episode 66, which marks the beginning of Season 6 ... muahaha :P

Also, it is the debut of Bel as the new EMBL cohost! Her commentary will be funny and insightful, so we're sure you'll enjoy our content moving forward. Also, we are now a Rated R podcast, so you will be hearing a few naughty words on our episodes from now on ...

As for the topic, I decided to give Bel a warm welcome and talk about her favorite scary movie villain, which is none other than the Creeper from the Jeepers Creepers series. In the spirit of our format change, we actually talked about all three movies in one episode, and we focused our attention on the character more than the plot. We speculate as to what his true nature might be, as well as talk about what the expectations would be in the upcoming fourth movie in this series.
