Get Your Popcorn

Join me today for food, drink and ghosts and perhaps even a few murders. We are deep diving House on Haunted Hill, isn't that amusing? It is a classic B-Horror movie featuring the legendary Vincent Price. He hosts a party offering his guest $10,000 if they stay the night....and survive286/5000

A monster mash mini episode! Get your backpack and pencils because this week we are headed back to school.... Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School is a 1988 made for television movie that is far weirder than I remembered before my rewatch. There is no actual mystery to this, just progressively bizarre plot points, but that didn't stop me from absolutely loving it. Tune in to hear my full thoughts!

As far back as I can remember I always wanted to cover Goodfellas! This week Zach returns to help me  close out our Summer of Scorsese with the 1991 crime epic. A film cemented in pop culture and is arguably the greatest gangster film of all time. Ray Liotta brings to life the true story of Henry Hill and his life of crime. Unforgettable supporting performances by Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro that blur the lines between Crime/Drama and Comedy make this film endlessly re-watchable. So join us and remember if you hear something you don't like….never rat on your friends.

Thank you again Zach for joining me on the show!

This week, Killers of the Flower Moon. A four hour epic masterpiece deserves two parts and one fully dedicated to the plot itself. This is the true story of the terrible crimes committed against the Osage Nation in the 1920s. A truly incredible work of art from Martin Scorsese.

Please take care when listening, there is frank discussion on the reign of terror, residential schools, and systemic oppression.

The reason for the post today, John, is I heard a podcast and it is perhaps the best thing I’ve listened to in the last six months….

Drake is back this week for The Wolf of Wall Street! Released in 2013 it tells the true story of Jordan Belfort and his pursuit of sex, drugs and a “fuck ton” of money. It is excessive, crass, debauched and undeniably a masterpiece.

Tune in because it’ll be nothing but short skirts 👀

Make sure you give Drake's podcast a listen and to follow his socials. Links below

Podcasts are cheap in this town, darlin', and I got a lot of money. I am back this week with The Aviator! Martin Scorsese's 2004 film on the life of legendary Director Howard Hughes. It covers his highs and lows across 30 years of his life. Cameos from all your favourite stars posing as other stars. Grab your favourite brand of banana nut ice cream and tune in.

Get out from behind those lace curtains because this week we are covering The Departed. 

Zach joins me to deep dive what we both consider to be Scorsese’s best film. Everything about this film works to pull you in, chew you up and spit you out. 

So make sure you tune in…maybe, maybe not, maybe go fuck yourself? 

This is the first in a summer series on the films of  Martin Scorsese

To celebrate Father's Day & the 51st anniversary of the film itself, I am re-releasing last years episode covering JAWS!

Take a bite out of this week's episode on JAWS! We are joined again this week by guest my dad Michael Moroz. Together we unpack this 1975 horror classic, the first ever summer blockbuster. Steven Spielberg's masterful direction keeps you on your toes through the entire movie, strategically hiding the shark until it can make maximum impact. The political themes in this movie of the mayor wanting to keep the beach open in order to protect business above people seems more relevant now more than ever? (Sounds very 2020) So let's dive deep into the waters of Amity…if you dare.

This week I am joined again by Writer/Director Andrew Koltuniuk to discuss Schindler’s List. An adaptation of the real story of Oscar Schindler. A German man who begins as a Nazi member and turns to active resistance against The Final Solution. This ground breaking film brings to life the horrors of the holocaust and is a stark reminder of what happens when we allow hate and blame to fill our hearts. 

A film that should be shown to each and every person, especially given the time we are living in now where there is active propaganda telling us to hate our neighbours. 

We are all one, never again….for anyone.

This is a tough one guys, listen with care.

Thank you for joining me Andrew.
