Podcast Part 3: The Part 3 Podcast

Happy Halloween, everyone! Will and Sam are pleased to give you all a glimpse of their brand-new series, The Dark Universe Variety Hour. It's a foray into one of our favorite genres, the Universal Classic Monsters. In the premiere episode, we compare 1931's Dracula to um... 1931's Dracula. One's in English, one's in Spanish. One has Bela, the other doesn't. Which one is better? Listen in to find out.

We bid you welcome...

Starring Charlize Theron.

Shriekquel Threequel season is back, and you need to choose a side... are you Team Edward (vampire who never leaves high school and doesn't believe in premarital sex) or Team Jacob (only wears jorts and wants to date a baby)? It's time to head back to Forks for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse!

Blessed are the cheesemakers (and all manufacturers of dairy products), and blessed are Podcast Part 3's listeners because Sam and Will are talking about Monty Python's legendary third feature film, The Life of Brian!

And since any good biblical epic needs three kings, they've brought back FM DeMarco of the Tuesday Morning Screening Room to provide the gold alongside their usual frankincense and myrrh.

It's called The Last Dance because An Extremely Goofy Movie was already taken.

Spoiler alert for Spider-Man: Brand New Day because Sam and Will couldn't stay on topic.

70s grindhouse meets Criterion arthouse in 1972's Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart to Hades. Basically it's The Mandalorian and Grogu with an excessive amount of sexual violence in the first act.

Nothing we like better than lovelorn fish men here at Podcast Part 3, so much so that we made it through nearly three hours of complicated maritime backstabbing with 2007's Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End!

THERE CAN BE ONLY THREE! (Or more...)

Also known as Highlander: The Final Dimension. Neither title makes sense.

On the latest Podcast Part 3, we pay a belated tribute to the great Catherine O'Hara by taking a look at 2003's A Mighty Wind, the third in Christopher Guest's mockumentary trilogy. Spoiler alert: It's very good. Another spoiler alert: She's great in it.

Turn up the Nine Inch Nails and/or Depeche Mode, because it's time for a third crack at making Tron a thing (the franchise, not the character... never the character). It's 2025's Tron: Ares, a movie that'll make you sad that Daft Punk broke up all over again.
