Hello friends! We made it back to the talkies this week to bring you some fresh trash down the chute. This time on the Garbage Chute, Dalton is joined by Caleb Masters, of The Cinematic Schematic podcast, and Kirsten Therkelson, the Frightful Femme, to discuss the new release A Real Pain. The film is directed by Jesse Eisenberg and stars Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin. Is the movie worth your time in a bloated movie season? Dalton, Kirsten, and Caleb parse it out to let you know their thoughts on the film. Tune in now!

Good day to all of our friends, foes, fiends, and familiars! Welcome to the Pod-iseum! With Ridley Scott's new legacy sequel now playing in theaters, we thought it would be a prime time to visit the original epic hit Gladiator. After 24 years, does the acclaimed sword and sandal picture still have something to offer? Are we entertained? Found out which way our thumbs go as we bring Gladiator to the analysis table.

Hello friends and familiars! We're back with some of that cherry-picked trash. Dalton loves discourse. So, we picked a focal point of discourse from 2020, Emerald Fennell's Promising Young Woman. Is it a femme Joker? Is it a superhero movie? Is it a high-heeled noir in disguise? We talk genre, vengeance, discourse, and much, much more as we bring Promising Young Woman to the analysis table.

Hello dear friends! This week, we make the rare trip into international waters when we go to Hong Kong and take a look at a young Jackie Chan doing inhuman things in Police Story.

Tune in now to join the conversation!

As we move into the fall season, we thought we'd go to the great white north and hit the ice with the cult comedy Goon. This hockey sports comedy is irreverent but also very sweet. We talk about Sean William Scott, team dynamics, Au Hasard Balthazar, and much, much more. Join us at the analysis table as we unpack Goon.

Hello dear friends, due to a production issue—there is no new episode this week. Instead, to finish out Shocktober the 13th: Taped Terrors, we rewind back to Shocktober 7 and our discussion of Oren Peli's blockbuster found footage hit Paranormal Activity from episode 287. 

"Dustin decided ghosts and found footage was the way to go for the second entry in our 7th annual Shocktober marathon. We quickly discuss whether we like the film or not, and then break into our game. This week's game is a discussion of our favorite cinematic demons. Finally, we get down to business to break open Paranormal Activity. Topics of found footage, film mythos, masculinity and more come up as we discuss Oren Peli's Paranormal Activity."

Shocktober the 13th rolls on through our "Taped Terrors" selections with a haunted asylum story in the form of Grave Encounters. This faux reality series is the ideal setup for a found footage tale. We talk a lot about it, and its sequel. We discuss asylums, ghost hunting shows, and much, much more on this week's episode over Grave Encounters. Tune in now!

Are you recording? We're on? Great! Hello pals! We're back for the next chapter in our Shocktober the 13th Marathon. "Taped Terrors", our investigation into found footage, continues with pair of mumblegore moments in the form of Creep and Creep 2. With the Shudder premier of The Creep Tapes right around the corner, the duo of stories about an eccentric man and the videographers he hires felt right. We discuss people, places, things, and ideas as we break open Creep and Creep 2. Tune in now!

Hello ghouls, gals, and pals! It's the spooky season, and that means it is officially SHOCKTOBER! This year marks Shocktober the 13th, and we're looking at "Taped Terrors". This month, we're exploring the form of found footage. We kick things off with friend of the show Daniel Bokemper (The Cinematropolis; Flick Attack) as we discuss found footage and our first movie of the marathon, Lake Mungo. This Australian faux-documentary is quite disturbing, but is it found footage? We talk definitions, grief, trauma, and much, much more as we bring Lake Mungo to the analysis table. Join us now!
