Podcasting After Dark - Cult Movies and TV Shows

Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) synopsis: “Kids all over America want Silver Shamrock masks for Halloween. Doctor Daniel Challis seeks to uncover a plot by Silver Shamrock owner Conal Cochran.”

Starring: Tom Atkins, Stacey Nelkin, Dan O'Herlihy, and Dick Warlock
Director: Tommy Lee Wallace

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Corey and Zak review their second Halloween-themed movie of October, Halloween III: Season of the Witch! If The Guest (the first half of this month’s pairing) is a quintessential modern cut movie then this is a quintessential 80s cult movie, and one that both of the hosts absolutely adores.

Some consider Season of the Witch to be the black sheep of the Halloween franchise, but we beg to differ. We think it’s like a fine wine that only gets better with age! Let us know what you think of the movie or our review on our social media pages.

Starring: John J. York, Chuck Connors, Lance LeGault, and Brian Thompson
Creator: Frank Lupo

This week on Podcasting After Dark presents TV Obscura, Zak, Corey, and Diallo review one of Fox’s inaugural television shows, Werewolf! Longtime listeners will know that this has been almost three years in the making. Unfortunately, we still don’t have a US Blu-ray or DVD set to enjoy (France has one) thanks to music rights but some internet hero uploaded the full series to YouTube.

Needless to say, Werewolf was worth the wait! Watch the entire series for free on our Patreon page!

The Guest (2014) synopsis: “A soldier introduces himself to the Peterson family, claiming to be a friend of their son who died in action. After the young man is welcomed into their home, a series of accidental deaths seem to be connected to his presence.”

Starring: Dan Stevens, Sheila Kelley, Maika Monroe, and Lance Reddick
Director: Adam Wingard

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Corey and Zak kick off spooky season with The Guest! A movie the boys knew they were going to bring to the show ever since PAD was first incepted almost four years ago!

The Guest is a quintessential modern cult film with a Carpenter-esque score that just happens to take place at Halloween… hence why it’s slotted this month! There are other connections between this and our second movie review later this month, but you’ll just have to wait and find out what they are.

Let us know what you think of The Guest or our review on Patreon or social media! And if you like the show please leave a 5 Star review on Apple or Spotify :)

Suburbia (1983) synopsis: “When household tensions and a sense of worthlessness overcome Evan, he finds escape when he clings with the orphans of a throw-away society.”

Starring: Chris Pedersen, Bill Coyne, Jennifer Clay, and Flea
Director: Penelope Spheeris

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Corey and Zak review Suburbia by Penelope Spheeris! This is another Patreon-selected film for review, and one that neither of the hosts have seen before. A rare thing to be sure! But the cool thing is, Suburbia feels right at home on Podcasting After Dark. This is an essential 80s cult movie and Corey and Zak are excited to have it in the PAD library!

A huge THANK YOU to Robert for picking Suburbia for us to review through Patreon! If you would like Corey and Zak to review one of your favorite movies, consider signing up to our highest tier!

Evil Dead: The Game (2022) synopsis: “Evil Dead: The Game is a 2022 survival horror game based on the Evil Dead franchise. It was developed and published by Saber Interactive. It features co-operative gameplay and player versus player combat.”

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Corey is flying solo while Zak recovers from COVID. That means you all are getting a video game review! It’s rare but he has done one before lol. The video game in question is one that should feel right at home on Podcasting After Dark- Evil Dead: The Game! That’s right! You get to play as either Ash Williams, one of his compatriots, or a Kandorian Demon. Spoiler alert: it’s as fun as it sounds!

Leave a comment on social media or our Patreon page and let us know if you’re playing Evil Dead and what you think of it or Corey’s review!

Diallo's Pick: The Amazing Cosmic Awareness of Duffy Moon (1976) - IMDb
Zak's Pick: The War Between the Classes (1985) - IMDb
Corey's Pick: The Day My Kid Went Punk (1987) - IMDb

This week on Podcasting After Dark presents TV Obscura, Zak, Corey, and Diallo review three afterschool specials from the 70s and 80s! Two of them are from the ABC Afterschool Special series and one is from the CBS Schoolbreak Special series (up yours, NBC)!

Full disclosure: the discussion gets pretty deep on this episode, but that’s the intention of these specials- to create a conversation about social issues that people are uncomfortable to talk about! Of course, the boys try to inject as much levity as possible but, to be honest, since most of these topics are just as relevant today as they were 40+ years ago, it can be a little hard to find the humor sometimes.

We hope you enjoy this very special episode of TV Obscura, and don’t forget to check out the episodes we reviewed this week for FREE on our Patreon page!

Bachelor Party (1984) synopsis: “A soon-to-be-married man's friends throw him the ultimate bachelor party.”

Starring: Tom Hanks, Tawny Kitaen, Adrian Zmed, and Robert Prescott
Director: Neal Israel

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Corey and Zak review another Tom Hanks movie from the 80s, Bachelor Party! As you heard on their review of The ‘Burbs, this is their favorite era of Tom Hanks, back when he had a devil may care attitude and did a lot of weird full-body gyrations lol. Bachelor Party is a great example of what made him such a star… and a great example why Barry Diamond isn’t a star!

A huge THANK YOU to Erin for picking Bachelor Party through Patreon! She chose Hard Ticket To Hawaii a few months ago and now this forgotten gem! Make sure you check out her cult movie podcast, Manic Movie Monday on Spotify.

Where you know him from: Die Hard 2 (1990), Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (1991), Demon Knight (1995), and VFW (2019)

This month on Interviews After Dark we talk to actor, William Sadler!

It was a huge honor to have William freakin' Sadler on the show! Like a lot of our listeners, both Zak and Corey grew up loving his movies. Everything from Demon Knight to Shawshank and all the ones too numerous to mention (we will mention VFW, though- check that out if you haven't)! 

So, you could say he was a bit of an idol for the PAD-boys, and you know what they say about meeting your idols: don't do it... except in this case! William Sadler was absolutely delightful to talk to. A true gentleman and extremely humble. Everything Zak and Corey could hope for!

Zak's Pick: Bionic Six (1987) - IMDb
Corey's Pick: C.O.P.S. (1988-89) - IMDb

This week on Podcasting After Dark presents TV Obscura, Zak, Corey, and Diallo review three of their favorite cartoon teams from the 70s and 80s! First up, Diallo discusses Battle of the Planets aka G-Force aka Gatchaman! A show with a very complicated history and backstory. Zak follows that up with the pseudo-spinoff of Six Million Dollar Man & Bionic Woman, Bionic Six, while Corey rounds out the show with artist Bart Sears’ brainchild, C.O.P.S.. It’s a fun episode full of nostalgia and love… and love for nostalgia lol!

Where you know him from: The People Under the Stairs (1991), Twister (1996), and Idle Hands (1999)

This month on Interviews After Dark we talk to actor, Sean Whalen!

By now you all should know, because he talks about it all the damn time: Co-host Corey went to the same high school as Sean Whalen (go Sherwood Warriors)! So, this interview was a pretty big deal for him. And for Zak too! The boys both loved the hell out of The People Under The Stairs (1991), and especially Sean Whalen's character, 'Roach.'

Let us know what you think of our interview with Sean Whalen on social media or our Patreon page!
