Screen Cleaning

It's easy to put a new dvd or poster under the tree, but what are some other gift ideas for the movie lover in your life? Movie marketing teams always give us plenty of options, so today we're looking at some of the best, most practical, or weirdest movie related gifts ever. Also there are two new movies to stream this week Godmothered and The Prom and we've got your review. Socks are great, just don't put coal in our stockings here on Screen Cleaning.

It's been a long year and as we look forward to the Christmas season and finally turning that calendar page we realized we could all use a little pick me up. What ever's got you down, we can look to the movies to pick us back up. These are the underdog stories, testaments to the human will, and just fun feel good times. Also we react to the big theater news that Warner Brothers movies will go to HBO Max along with theaters in the new year, and review a new kids movie The Croods 2. James Brown had it right, we feel good, here on Screen Cleaning.

We hope you're enjoying your Thanksgiving weekend. Cole has some time off, but we're thankful for Rod Gustafson coming on the show to share one of his favorite films. Today is another edition of the Screen Cleaning Hall of Fame where we shine our spotlight on movies that we don't spend enough time talking about. Some are underrated or forgotten or just movies we love that we don't talk about every other week on the show. Today Jeff and Rod gush over Matchstick Men and Breach. Hope we don't have to con you into watching these thrillers.

Thanksgivings this year are going to be more virtual than ever. Maybe you can't have all your family around the table like normal, and so we're filling up that guest list with fictional characters from film and tv. And what would the turkey holiday be without food! We stuffed our menu (and our bellies) with the most scrumdiddlyumptious fictional food too. Also stay tuned for the best of entertainment news and reviews of Jingle Jangle and The Queen's Gambit on Netflix. We're thankful for movies and for all of you listeners here on Screen Cleaning.

Okay, so maybe you spent the past few months binging too much TV. That's fine because so did we! It's that time again on Screen Cleaning to break out the brackets to pit shows and movies against each other and this time around it's sit-coms. We put 16 of the most iconic, most popular, and well most funny shows in order from oldest to newest. Did you love The Brady Bunch and M*A*S*H growing up? Is your family more of an Office or Parks & Rec crowd now? We'll be picking our favorites and unveiling your picks too! Hopefully our choices won't land us in the Bad Place here on Screen Cleaning.

It seems like only yesterday that Netflix was disrupting the video rental world and now there are new streaming services every day trying to disrupt Netflix. And what about all the other ways the younger generation watches their media? Today the Screen Cleaning crew is focused on the small screens in our pockets. What do parents need to know about TikTok, Twitch, and YouTube. New movies are still being released and Jeff will review Let Him Go.

Spooktober has reached Part Three. If we were really committed to the bit, we would have done it in 3D like all the great horror franchises. But we are finally talking about scary movies after covering books and theater. Which scary movies? All the scary movies. It’s a history of horror as we (slowly, never running) make our way through all the eras of the genre from creature features, to slashers, to found footage always asking the question; in 2020, does this hold up? Happy Halloween from Screen Cleaning!

When Halloween is over, we'll be cleansing our media palate with some good old fashion sit-coms. You can vote for your favorites here:
