Gosh, I Love Movie Marathons

It's Halloween season, and our October marathon this year was built around themes of dark magic, occult practices, and demon summoning... with an accidental sub-them of romantic liaisons with the undead. Light some candles, settle in with a witches brew, and Let's Summon Demons!

Our Fantastic Fest marathon is nearing its end, and this week we're back with the 2018 Swedish film Border, brought to us by our friend Sara Jones."A customs officer who can smell fear develops an unusual attraction to a strange traveler while aiding a police investigation which will call into question her entire existence."Best seen to be believed, you can find this gem streaming on Hulu and we highly recommend a watch before listening to our spoiler-heavy discussion.

The gang gets together to talk about all things Fantastic Fest 2019 - grief and loss, butts, space dicks, child deaths, butts, BDSM, time travel, butts - and lightly spoil some of the favorite, stand out films from this year's incredible lineup.

Join us for a brief view into the trouble production that was 1994's Cabin Boy... and stick around for how much Jenny 'tolerates' this movie.

Our next Fantastic Fest Marathon film is 2016's The Untamed (La Region Sauvage) from Amat Escalante, brought to us all the from Australia by our dear friend and fellow Fest volunteer Jesse Chick. 'A meteorite crashes onto an isolated mountain somewhere in Mexico. Meanwhile Alejandra and Angel are trying to salvage their unhappy marriage. When these two disparate elements collide, there’ll be consequences for all.' While this starts to unveil the inner workings of our characters and hints at the tinge of sci-fi sprinkled in, we have lots of thoughts about just what the hell is really going in this beautifully shot and superbly acted character study.

This month, we took a tour through some of John Lithgow's iconic villain roles. Expect the usual high-brow analysis - like how great yet another shitty American remake would be if Lithgow played every role.

Our second episode of the Fantastic Fest marathon is here! Our hosts Mike and Vinnie dive deep into the visceral and bloody monstrosities of 2016's The Void and the chunky, grindhouse sound aesthetic of 2017's Brawl In Cell Block 99.

This month, Vinnie sends Jenny on an existential journey into the stygian abyss of Sutter Cane's new reality, In The Mouth Of Madness.In a world where horror paperbacks are so popular that riots are breaking out in the streets, it's up to one daring insurance investigator to keep our world from unraveling. Stephen King meets H.P. Lovecraft by way of John Carpenter's signature practical effect work!

Our next marathon playlist has begun! Throughout September and October, we'll be discussing ours and our guest's favorite films from Fantastic Fest's past.Our first episode has our oft-appearing "friend" of the podcast, Jenny, enlightening us to the ecstatic ritual, danger and the absolute beauty of fireworks as well as the history of Tultepec's incredible celebration with the 2017 documentary Brimstone & Glory.

Teenage romance, PTSD, bad child actors, farting corpses, and a goddamn sexual tyrannosaurus - our latest movie marathon is here!
