Hello Excellent Humans!

Tabitha Rogers came back to watch Lifeforce (1985) a kinda sci-fi sexy space vampire movie that we thought was a lot cooler than that description sounds. We talk about this film’s pedigree, special effects, the appropriate noise to make between breasts, and Allison gets a bug up her butt about the neglected application of the metric system.

Hello Excellent Humans!

The Smokers (2000)

Frequent guest Tina Dillon returns, but Mark Wahlberg is nowhere to be found in this girl power gone wrong doozy of a flick chosen by Allison! Listen to how little they want to actually talk about teen drama The Smokers (2000). Bonus drinking game: do a shot anytime someone uses the phrase “hot garbage” and above all: beware The Marabou Phantom!

Hello Excellent Humans!

Shaun of the Dead (2004)

Our first official zombie movie (second depending on how you rationalize All Dogs Go To Heaven). First-time guest Celso Garcia joins us to talk Shaun of the Dead (2004) but kinda steals the show as, due to an audio snafu, it's a little hard to hear Allison and Hunter. Nevertheless, we think you'll still enjoy this one as Celso's a pretty big movie nerd in his own right and he's got a nice voice (and don't worry, we still manage to pop in here and there).

Hello Excellent Humans! You’ve been hearing Bill Guinan on every podcast but didn’t even know it (he composed our intro/outro music)! Finally he’s on officially to talk about the iconic 90’s horror movie Scream. There’s also a bit of Ghostface imitation (the slasher, not the rapper), a brief history of American porches, a lot of talk about horror movie tropes and clichés because of course there is.

Hello Excellent Humans!

Friend to the show and resident Mark Wahlberg expert Tina Dillon returns as we discuss teen thriller Fear (1996). Talking about this R-rated flick definitely bumps our language up to a PG-13 *at least* (we don’t want to point any fingers, but the rollercoaster scene especially threw us for a loop).

What do you get when you cross Frank Herbert, David Lynch, Kyle MacLachlan, Sting, and a desert? Allison, Hunter, and guest Carter Horton will tell you all about it as we talk Dune (1984). Allison might recite the litany against fear, and we definitely talk about the other Dune movie that never got made (if you don’t know the one, you will!)

Will Congleton joins us for Clint East'wood's art-collecting rock-climbing spy-crafting action thriller, The Eiger Sanction (1975).

Join us as we watch 90’s sci fi classic The Fifth Element (1997) with our friend Katie Hewko. Allison heard that some people don’t like this movie very much - listen up to find out why, and what we have to say about it.

On this episode we enjoy the rocking and rolling exploits of Alfie and Bibi in the rock musical The Apple (1980). Joining us is a more familiar B.B. - Bryan Bierman! Hear why this cult fave is one of our faves as well, and why Hunter loves the ending so darn much. Take a bite!

It turns out that Talladega Nights (2006) is one of our friend Tabitha Rogers’ favorite movies. We go beyond the film with some discussion about product placement in NASCAR and Hollywood and the origin of racing (and what would happen if a professional racer was involved in a police chase) among other audio antics. We also experience the limitations of radio, with some unexpected results (we accidentally brainstormed something horrifying, you guys! Listen in to find out what!)
