Made for TV Mayhem Show

We’re back with a very special episode! February 6th, 2021 marks the 40th anniversary of This House Possessed, which aired on this day in 1981. It’s looking good at 40, and to celebrate, I sat down with Parker Stevenson to discuss the great little horror telefilm that keeps on going. After the interview join Dan, Nate and myself for a discussion of the film. And thank you, Parker Stevenson for being so kind and giving us a little background on This House Possessed. Hope everyone enjoys, and as always, thank you for listening!

It hasn’t even been a month, and we are back! We couldn’t let the holiday season pass by without inviting our great friend Joanna Wilson of Christmas TV History back for our annual yuletide episode! We spend a little time stuck behind a forcefield with a lovable (but deadly) alien named Glim Gilm, who was a part of the Monsters TV series. And we play the holiday movie game, which is always fun. So grab your eggnog and celebrate the season in style.And a big thank you to everyone who stuck it out with us this year. I know it hasn’t always been consistent, but, like everyone else in the year 2020, we’re doing our best. We appreciate all of you, and hope you have a wonderful end to a not-so-wonderful year! See you next year. It’s gonna look a lot like the 1970s-1990s for us!

We are back with a brand new episode, and it turned out to be one of those marathon recordings… Just like the olden days, which is a bit kismet since we’re going back to the Old West as we take a look at two surreal and fascinating Horror/Western hybrid TV movies, Black Noon (1971) and Into the Badlands (1991)! We are joined by a very special guest, James Newton, who helps Dan and Amanda dissect Frontier living. (Spoiler: Life was difficult!)James, a podcaster, filmmaker and writer, is someone worth checking out. Please follow his social media on Twitter at @JamesEdNewton, visit his website and make sure you give his excellent podcast Newton Talks a listen. You can also watch some of James’ amazing films on his YouTube page (might I suggest you start with Grace?). And, you can check out the trailer for Black Lizard Tales, which is currently playing fests, and see his latest short Man/Rabid as well! We had so much fun talking with him about these haunting little films, and we hope you enjoy listening.

Happy Halloween! We’re here to help you ring in the spookiest time of year with two supernatural telefilms: Midnight Offerings (1981) and The Sins of Dorian Gray (1983). We’re joined by one of our favorite people on the planet, Justin Kerswell of both the website The Hysteria Lives and the companion podcast The Hysteria Continues! We do hope you have a safe and happy (and scary) Halloween!

Welcome back! We are a little late getting our head gear and Swatches in place, but we’re here to help you go back to school with two CBS Schoolbreak Specials: Portrait of a Teenage Shoplifter (1981) and The Drug Knot (1986). Lots of illegal shenanigans to behold. We do hope you enjoy!

Welcome to a very special episode of Shades of Love. Amanda interviews Ken Atchity about his wonderful direct to video romance series Shades of Love. Then Amanda and Dan discuss two entries from the series, Echoes in Crimson and The Rose Cafe (both 1987). Ken was a wonderful guest and provides a lot of info about this great series where you will only want to speak of love. We do hope you enjoy!

Welcome back to episode 53, where all of our love is given to the amazing Aaron Spelling! Dan and Amanda are joined by Jon Larkin of Screaming Queenz to discuss The Old Man Who Cried Wolf (1970) and the Charlie’s Angels pilot telefilm (1976). We had a blast, and we hope you do too! Thank you for listening!And if you’d like a little more of Amanda and Jon, you can listen to them talk about John Carpenter’s telefilm Someone’s Watching Me! (1987) on Screaming Queenz!

Welcome to a very special minisode dedicated to Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood. We talk about how QT’s amazing film truly comes from the heart and pays a lot of respect to a golden era of television, as he presents TV as its own form of cinema. We hope you enjoy this one! Thanks for listening!

Welcome back! This is a very special episode for us because we got to talk about Shannen Doherty’s wonderful and underrated TV movie career. On tap: Satan’s School for Girls (2000) and Another Day (2001). We are joined by our great friend Erik Threfall of The Hysteria Continues, who just happens to be a huge fan of Beverly Hills, 90210. It was kismet! However, please be patient with some of the edits. I had to cut and paste a few things here and there! And Dan’s internet was playing tricks. But we do love Shannen so much and we hope you seek out some of her teleflms, if you haven’t already.

We’re back with a special minisode for everyone with a little extra time on their hands. We resurrected the Name that TV Movie Game, and added a new segment! Hope you enjoy!
