Out Now With Aaron and Abe

We made it! 5 weeks and 5 podcasts devoted to horror films. Aaron is joined by the full crew: Brandon Peters from Naptown Nerd, Jimmy O from JoBlo, and Jason Coleman form Star Pulse, but that’s not all. Abe finally joins in as well, as the group goes over the last few decades of horror, the 1990s up to present time. Listen in, as the guys discuss the state of horror following the 80s, the revival of horror in the mid-90s, the impact of films such as Scream, The Blair Witch Project, Saw, Paranormal Activity, and more. It is a packed episode, with lots of great information and a lot of fun to be had, as these horror hounds wrap up their thoughts concerning this month-long discussion of horror films spanning nearly a century.

This week’s episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe features guests Mark Hobin and Markus Robinson joining the duo to discuss the film, Whiplash. Among topics covered, this episode features a fun round of Know Everybody (4:45), some Out Now Quickies™ (8:42), Trailer talk for Avengers: Age of Ultron (22:32), the main review of course (30:17), Out Now Feedback (1:05:12), a fun Game (1:18:00), What’s Out Now (1:27:20), and some Bloopers following this week’s close out song (1:34:05). So now, if you’ve got an hour or so to kill…

This month’s commentary is a special one. We have fun doing these commentaries every month and while we try to pack them with info, as well as entertaining discussions, every now and then the films connect to some of us personally. In honor of Jim Dietz, who is on this commentary track, along with Out Now commentary regular Brandon Peters, we now have a commentary for a Dietz favorite, Escape from New York, the John Carpenter/Kurt Russell cult classic. The group goes over all the details they can in regards to the film, the careers of the filmmakers involved, the impact of this film, and more!

We are just having a blast putting these horror specials together, even if we don’t have nearly enough time to put in all the work we want to on these discussions of various decades of horror films. That being said, this week’s special has Aaron, Brandon, and Jimmy O talking for a long time about the 80s. Lots of early discussion about where horror was at this time, especially given the rise of slasher films, before going into a year by year breakdown of many of the most notable films from each year in the 80s. Clearly there is a lot of love for this decade from Brandon and Jimmy, who relish in a chance to go into some underpraised and underseen gems (and it is unfortunate that Jason was not able to participate). With all that in mind, slashers, dream demons, werewolves, gore, possession and plenty more is all gone over in this week’s fun bonus special.

This week’s episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe features guest Ken Noffsinger from his own home, as we recorded a special ‘in person’ episode this week, while discussing Fury. Among topics covered, this episode features a fun round of Know Everybody (7:51), some Out Now Quickies™ (12:59), Trailer talk for In The Heart of the Sea (20:04), the main review of course (24:20), Out Now Feedback (44:48), a fun Game (59:29), What’s Out Now (1:04:20), and some Bloopers following this week’s close out song (1:12:39). So now, if you’ve got an hour or so to kill…

Now for the 70s. Continuing our weekly horror specials for the month, Aaron is joined once again by Jimmy O from JoBlo.com, Brandon Peters from The Naptown Nerd, and Jason Coleman from Starpulse.com with the intention of talking more horror. This time the guys are dealing with horror from the 1970s, which ranges from prestige and mainstream entries like The Exorcist to experimental efforts like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, which has obviously gone on to become a classic. Various directors are discussed, the impact of films like Halloween and Jaws is given attention, and plenty of other films are brought up in this fun conversation. And stay tuned for next week’s episode discussing the 1980s, where the guys will go over B-movie fun, gore, slasher films, and more!

This week’s episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe features guest Michael Lee from MovieViral.com to discuss The Judge. Among topics covered, this episode features a fun round of Know Everybody (5:00), some Out Now Quickies™ (10:16), Trailer talk for American Sniper (17:25), the main review of course (23:10), Out Now Feedback (50:10), a fun Game (1:05:50), What’s Out Now (1:14:52), and some Bloopers following this week’s close out song (1:21:12).

Time for round 2. The horror bonus episodes continue, as Aaron is joined by Naptown Nerd’s Brandon Peters, Starpulse’s Jason Colman, and JoBlo’s Jimmy O to discuss horror films during the 1950s and 60s. This time period revolves around more movie monsters and Hammer Horror, how the atomic age and the Cold War became a factor, the works of Vincent Price and William Castle, the big changes taking place in the 60s, which included the shift into the supernatural-themed horror, the early days of slasher films coming from some great filmmakers, and plenty more, which the guys try to get all into. It is another fun episode and stay tuned for next week, when the guys talk entirely about 70s horror, when things get experimental, bloodier, and grittier.

This week’s episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe features guests Peter Paras and Just Seen It’s Aaron Fink stopping by to talk Gone Girl. Among topics covered, this episode features a fun round of Know Everybody (5:22), some Out Now Quickies™ (10:51), Trailer talk for Inherent Vice (17:45), the main review, of course (23:33), Out Now Feedback (1:08:37), a fun Game (1:29:35), What’s Out Now (1:36:37), and some Bloopers following this week’s close out song (1:43:39).

So it begins! Thanks to some prodding by Joblo.com’s Jimmy O, we were inspired to do something special with the podcast for the month of October. The idea is to release a new bonus episode every Friday this month, in an effort to cover the various decades of horror. For this first week, Aaron is joined by Naptown Nerd’s Brandon Peters and Starpulse’s Jason Colman to discuss horror films up to the 1940s. This of course revolves around the silent film era, the early days of Universal’s Monster Movies, famed horror legends from that time, the many sequels and remakes that came during that time, and more. We sort of jumped in head first on this podcast concept and ended up having a lot of fun the first time around, so we hope you enjoy and stay tuned for next week’s episode: Hammer, Sci-Fi & Price in 3-D!
