Evil podcasts tonight! Join us as we take a look at Halloween Kills and discuss how far into a horror franchise you can get before you're really just beating a dead horse. Enjoy!

Spice up your life! This week we are joined by Science (fiction) expert  Ryan Terry and Jake's wife Tori as we take a closer look at all things  Dune! Does Villenueve's new adaptation do a better job than the 1984  David Lynch version? Do the worms look more like a vageen or a cat's  butthole? We ask all the important questions!

Good morning, y'all! This week we dive into the Criterion Collection to examine the debut film from Guillermo Del Toro and talk about the malleability of vampire lore, director trademarks, and much much more. Enjoy!

"Whenever Aleister isn't on screen, the audience should always be asking 'Hey, Where's Aleister?'"

It may seem like we're stuck in an unending time loop here at Pop and Schlock but that simply is not the case. This week we're discussing Palm Springs starring Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti as they attempt to navigate a recursive existence in the desert at a wedding even more uncomfortable than the last one Jake officiated. Discourse and tangents abound. enjoy! *Marked as explicit for a few random F-Bombs*

This week we take a frank look at the concepts of grief, mourning, and  loss as we do a deep dive into the Nicolas Cage film that everybody and  their mother wanted us to cover-- Pig; directed by Michael Sarnoski and co-starring Alex Wolff and Adam Arkin. Enjoy!

Is it possible that the universe conjured up a movie that was built from the ground up to fit precisely in the wheelhouse of both of our hosts? Apparently so, as we discuss Malignant, the new film by James Wan that has been dividing audiences sharply since its debut! Join us as we discuss why this film WORKS despite not being aligned very much with the modern American horror zeitgeist!

Blessings upon us as we discuss the latest film featuring the patron saint of Pop and Schlock-- Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

Join us as we discuss the Netflix original featuring a supporting class boasting Woody Harrelson and Jun Kunimura. Topics of discussion include cultural sensitivity in the depiction of Japan as a setting, the importance of physicality in building a believable action performance, appropriate placement of CGI, and more. We also get a post-storm update on Meredith's carnivorous plants, so that's cool.

Enjoy!

We have returned! And we decided to exercise our Lit major tendencies by analyzing A24's The Green Knight, an adaptation of the 14th century romantic poem. Follow along as we try to avoid making too many Monty Python references and try to be as tactful as we can regarding medieval sex acts. Fun for the whole family!
