Screen Cleaning

There are lots of ways to enjoy the scary season and we're exploring them all month long on Screen Cleaning. Last week was books and this week we're going to the theatre. Murder Mysteries and gothic adaptations are on stages near us. We also talk to the co-founder of the Hale Center Theater in Sandy, UT Sally Dietlein about how the live experience has adapted due to the ongoing pandemic. Broadway is still closed and when it comes back it will be without a creepy favorite that made its way from the screen to the stage, Beetlejuice, but producer Mickey caught it before it closed its doors. Then we'll chat about other scary musicals. Boo! This is week two of Scream Cleaning.

This October on Screen Cleaning we're looking beyond our usual fare of TV and movies to see how else people find their scares. Today it's Screen Cleaning Book Club as Jeff, Cole, and Mickey spent the week reading Henry James' classic "The Turn of the Screw". The Haunting of Bly Manor is out this week on Netflix, so we each watched a different on screen adaptation of the old book. Then take a look at other horror books to movies through the years. And don't miss Rod Gustafson to help catch up and review the movies you might have missed coming to streaming in the past month. Boo! We're scary all month long on Screen Cleaning.

It's almost bracket time again on Screen Cleaning! When October is over, we'll be cleansing the palate with some of our favorite sit-coms of all time. You know the drill, click the link, pick your favorites, enter to win!

All those nights watching IMDb more than the movie in front of you are about to pay off, this is our first ever Screen Cleaning Movie Trivia Night. Taking inspiration from great game shows like Trivial Pursuit, The Weakest Link, Card Sharks, The Price is Right, and of course Jeopardy play along at home testing your movie fact knowledge. Thanks to our host/MC/producer Mickey Randle and guests Lisa Valentine Clark and Richie T from The Lisa Show which you can catch every morning on BYU Radio. How's that for a crossover episode. Answer: The greatest movie podcast ever. Question: What is Screen Cleaning.

Jeff and Cole love movies. And every week they talk about movies they enjoy or want to highlight for one reason or another, but today is special. This is the second installment of the Screen Cleaning Hall of Fame where the whole show is devoted to taking a deep dive on just two movies. Movies that go on the shelf with the best of the best. Enjoy us gush over what is great about Dave and Babe, two feel good 90's classics.

There's more to a movie than its cast and script. Our favorite movies just work, and you can't put a finger on why. Unfortunately, the opposite is true too. Sometime a film will come out with everything going for it; great reviews and great people working on it, but it just didn't click. Those are the oddities we are focusing on today. We really \*should\* like these, but we don't. Sometimes the circumstances around a movie cause this phenomenon and it's not the movie's fault. In that case it deserves a second chance and Jeff and Cole take another look at a couple of those today. A close cousin to movies we should like, are the ones that come out that we want to like. You've got a hundred other shows where we talk about movies we love, here's one where we talk about ones we don't. Only the best (okay today worst) on Screen Cleaning.

For over three years Jeff Simpson and Cole Wissinger have been on the radio waves and podcast platforms bringing the best in the entertainment world to you. We've talked about our favorite movies and tv shows, and podcasts and songs, but today we're breaking down some of our favorite episodes of this show! And we’ll also play some of our favorite moments, including some never heard before on the podcast feed. This isn’t a normal clip show that you can skip though, we’ve also got reviews of Mulan and Tenet. Here's to another 100 and more from us at Screen Cleaning.

It's always fun to imagine what the next big Hollywood reboot would look like. The Disney live action remakes are really only multi-million dollar versions of the internet photoshopping Chris Pratt to look like Hercules, which we're behind by the way. We have a smaller budget though, so today we just talk about what if some of the biggest and most beloved movies of all time came out today. Who would play the Wonderful Wizard of Oz or who are 2020's Good, Bad, and Ugly?

Last week on the show we recast new movies with actors from previous eras, today on Recasting Part Two, we do the reverse. You can check out Part One here: http://www.byuradio.org/episode/3351b761-1018-4858-8f0c-381344f6a719/screen-cleaning-recasting-favorite-movies-pt-1

Reboots and remakes are nothing new in the movie game. And as much as we lament every time another of our favorites is resurrected for a cash grab, it also gets our imaginations churning. This week and next week Jeff and Cole will be taking some of their most beloved movies from different eras and remaking them with actors from a different time. What would a 90's Avengers look like or The Fast and the Furious in the golden age of Hollywood? Also movies are returning to theaters today and we've got Rod Gustafson joining to catch up reviewing all the new releases like The One and Only Ivan, Words on Bathroom Walls, and Boys State. Our podcast cast is perfect, no recasting needed, on Screen Cleaning.
