Read it and Weep

We're celebrating the Internet's favorite man, Keanu Reeves, by watching him in probably his least appropriate roll: British Gentleman. Still, the weirdness of this version of the vampire world makes it a fun watch.

Anthony really likes Schitt's Creek.

Alex likes The Thing, especially the head spider.

Hunter is keeping it Keanu with John Wick 2 (and recommends watching them out of order).

Heading back through the Stargate with SG: Atlantis

It's our Spooktober Spooktacular Slightly Condescending Film Spook episode. We watched the 1970s Italian horror movie about the intersection of ballet dancing and witches. It's a hoot. A spooky hoot!

Anthony feels okay about Dr. Who.

Alex thinks you should give up and join the Evil Dead.

Hunter thinks you should play Paradise Killer and run around the Internet solving crimes.

Keanovember is here and we're watching Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)

If you're in the mood for some intergalactic colonialism, then you're going to love Stargate. Just make sure you cover your tummy!

Thanks to Shannon for sponsoring this wild ride!

Anthony wants you to look at the makeup for Colin Ferrell as Penguin.

Phoebe thinks you should RSVP to the film Muriel's Wedding

Alex liked Cabin in the Woods and will not tell you anything about the movie.

Anthony and Phoebe suggest watching The Sixth Sense even though you already know the ending.

Getting spooky with the Italian horror film Suspiria (1977)

Happy #TheRocktober, everybody. Ezra's back to chat about the sequel to the Jumanji sequel. Oops, we're all Jumanji-ed again!

Ez recommends Zathura: Space Jumanji

Hunter likes The Exorcist as a movie

Alex went to Stranger Things: The Parking Garage Haunted House

Marmaduke / Lost / The Daily podcast

Chuck E Cheese / Great British Bake-off / Law & Order

Back to the Future / Can't Hardly Wait / The Muppets

Stargate (1994)

Amandable is back to help set the record straight about Emily Dickenson in this hilariously low-budget revisionist comedy. They can't afford a real cat but they've got the real story.

Hunter still likes the game Disco Elysium

Amanda likes Star Trek: TNG (but it's better if you start in the third season or you're 10).

Alex loves the commercial-turned-sitcom Ted Lasso on Apple TV.

Anthony suggests getting a kitten:

Jumanji: The Next Level (2019)

Another new guest Dalia Malek brought us the first movie she ever saw, the Don Bluth animated film about smart and sometimes magical rats. Alex doesn't like it and bullying ensues.

Hunter likes the game Disco Elysium

Anthony finds The Great Pottery Throw Down to be soothing

Dalia thinks Pen15 is cringe but great

Alex needs you to watch live streams of Fat Bear Week

Listener Hannah recommends the book "Anxious People" by Fredrik Backman about a Swedish bank robbery.

Listener Alethea recommends this interview with Jon Ronson and the guy who wrote Rebecca Black's "Friday."

Wild Nights with Emily (2018). Currently streaming on Hulu.

We've got another first time guest this week, video game designer Neven Mrgan (@mrgan on Twitter) brought us a sweaty New York movie, Dog Day Afternoon. It's a terrific watch with lots to talk about so stop reading and let's get into it!

Neven's other sweaty New York movies: After Hours and Daddy Longlegs

Anthony watched the opposite Al Pacino movie: Heat

And Hunter explain the game Among Us to the normies.

The Secret of NIMH (1982). Currently streaming on Amazon Prime.

We welcomed back Irene Tu (@irene_tu on all platforms) to chat about the 1991 action/buddy movie Thelma & Louise. Plus we talked about whether we'd be good friends to run from the law with, what to pack in a bugout bag, and we unveiled the new game "Two Brags and a Lie."

The Thing + Pingu = Thingu (h/t Katie)

The DC Comics version of The Flintstones really improves on the characters (h/t Brian)

David's very unsafe core workout for guitarists.

A different David recommends the crowd funded movie Blue Ruin.

Welcome to a very special episode of Read it and Weep. This week we throw back to our Season 1 days with our original panelists and basically the same Twilight book Stephanie Meyer has written two other times already. This time we're living in Edward's head and let me tell you, it's an unpleasant place to be for 25 hours. This feels like a series that maybe should have remained dead but instead walks the earth.

Happy Anniversary, Andy! It's a throwback to last year's Does It Hold Up? season as we check in on the 2001 stoner comedy about highway patrol officers who drink syrup. Is it still funny or is it time to #DefundSuperTroopers? Find out!

Plus: in a special bonus segment, we teach you how to hunt caribou.
