This week, Jessica and I venture into the dream-scoured deserts and fractured psyche of Phantasm IV: Oblivion, though unfortunately, Brad was unable to join us for this episode.

In this entry, we also discover a touching local connection: the real Reggie Bannister actually resides right here in our mountain area of California.

May he find peace and light on his final journey before heading to a reunion with the Tall Man.

All That Glitters Is Gold

This week on Projected Hues, Jessica and I are back from our break with something special, our very first listener request episode. We’re diving into Roeg to Nowhere, a one-off deep dive into the fractured brilliance of Nicolas Roeg.

Our film is Eureka (1983), a dazzling gold rush of chaos, greed, and dark humor, joined by our special guest, Bradford C.

Then we’ll get a head start on spooky season, rolling into October with one of my all-time favorites, Phantasm (1979).

Back to the Ground

This week on Projected Hues, Jessica and I mark one full year and 25 episodes of this podcast by revisiting where it all began: Soylent Green (1973). Our very first episode gets the anniversary treatment as we return to this sweaty, overpopulated, and weirdly foretelling vision of the future.

Life’s a bit busy for us right now, so we’re hitting pause for August. But don’t worry, we’ll be back in September with Roeg to Nowhere, a series celebrating the fractured brilliance of Nicolas Roeg.

First up: Eureka (1983), a glittering gold rush of chaos, greed, and existential despair.

And for those needing a fix, we’re hoping to cook up at least one After-dark episode this August to keep things weird.
