What’s better than Diana Scarwid, P.J. Soles and Dinah Manoff all in one movie? Easy: 1977’s THE POSSESSED also has a young Harrison Ford!

A 1970 made-for-TV offering in the style of What’s the Matter With Helen? and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, this one subs Anthony Perkins into what is usually the “old lady in peril” role. It also stars Julie Harris and Joan Hackett, and to discuss the melodramatic thrills, we have the wonderful Sherry Vine — drag queen, comedian and frequent collaborator of Sam’s in campy live stagings of classic sitcommery. They make delightful conversation.

There’s a woman in trouble and her only hope for rescue is… Olivia de Havilland, a former asylum patient whose hands don’t work. This might seem like very bad odds for the woman in question, but don’t count Olivia de Havilland out yet: at a spry 104 years old, this Hollywood legend might just outlive us all. Actress, comedian and fellow screaming woman Janie Haddad Tompkins joins Sam to discuss this exciting entry in the “old ladies in peril” canon.

Happy pride month! To celebrate the gayer side of made-for-TV magic, Sam is giving you the gift of a new episode that is not about a horror film. I know, I know. THAT CERTAIN SUMMER is a 1972 drama starring Hal Holbrook and Martin Sheen, and it’s the first teleplay to address the subject of homosexuality in a positive, sympathetic manner. It’s actually a good movie this time. Sam is joined by Bryan Safi — actor, comedian and host of the Throwing Shade podcast — to talk through this TV movie milestone. And no worries: We will be back next week with the first episode of the new season.

Welcome to hell. Literally. We’d love to say that this episode is the first of the new season, but seeing as how we’re all grounded until summer, this is going to be a one-off until Sam can invite his friends over without risk of certain death. Luckily, this one is a great one: Jeff Nelson, camp impresario and Scream Factory co-founder, talks with Sam about INVITATION TO HELL, a Wes Craven-directed, Robert Urich-starring made-for-TV effort that features Susan Lucci as the devil. Don’t be shocked — this one comes from 1984, making it our first TV movie to fall outside of the 1970s. That Sam Pancake is VERSATILE!

Welcome to 2020! This week, General Hospital actor Mark Samuel joins Sam to discuss the 1979 thriller MURDER BY NATURAL CAUSES. The film, which has Hal Holbrook, Richard Anderson and Barry Bostwick playing men involved with a femme fatale Katharine Ross.

More often than not, part of the fun of this podcast is laughing at the delightful bonkers nature of TV movies from this era. This week? It’s a different case. Sam is joined by film critic and fellow podcaster Dave White to discuss DUEL, the 1971 classic that introduced the world to a up-and-comer named Steven Spielberg. It’s stark. It’s tense. And it’s such a great made-for-TV effort that it eventually wound up on the big screen after the fact!
