Married to the Idea

It's that time of year again, where you snuggle up on the couch with loved ones and hot cocoa to watch your favorite Christmas movies. But which ones are the best of the best? Join us, along with special guests Jon Hash and Steven Mees, as we countdown our top five favorite Christmas movies.

We sit down with special guest Katie to talk about this overshadowed holiday, along with our yearly traditions, singing spontaneous Thanksgiving carols, and our favorite Thanksgiving episodes from TV.

With this large a cast of suspects, we bring on TWO special guests to discuss Kenneth Branagh's latest iteration of Agatha Christie's famous mystery novel, Murder on the Orient Express. *SPOILERS*

Unpopular opinions for everyone! We discuss the importance of avoiding the shot-for-shot remake, the journey from fan-fic to original content, and the sinking feeling you get when you realize that even nostalgia can't save a movie. Screw your courage to the sticking place...it's not gonna be pretty. *SPOILERS*

Our final Halloween episode of the year is here, and we're tackling the 2015 adaptation of one of the most memorable and prolific children's book series of all time: Goosebumps. Does the movie pay true homage to R. L. Stine's works, or was it too meta for its own good? *SPOILERS*

If you're gonna do a remake, you better have a reason. Did the 1983 Twilight Zone movie, amid real life tragedy, manage to bring new life to these four Rod Serling stories? *SPOILERS*

​Did the 1990 movie adaptation of Roald Dahl's children's horror novel The Witches pay proper homage to the dark humor, childlike logic, and grotesque villains of the original, or was it a huge pile of dog's droppings? *SPOILERS*

We're back to Bradbury, master of the macabre, as we discuss both the original short novel and animated movie adaptation of The Halloween Tree, a loving send-up to the history and mythos behind the feast of All Hallows Eve, as well as a confrontation of darkness and the inevitability of death. You know, for kids! *SPOILERS*

We get mysterious, spooky, and altogether ooky to discuss The Addams Family movies, including the perfect casting of Christina Ricci, the relationship goals of Morticia and Gomez, and the joy of watching this quintessential Halloween family any time of year. *SPOILERS*

Our first editorial! In keeping with the Halloween season, we discuss both our childhood and adult fears, and what makes scary movies truly scary.
