Screen Slurps

Happy Holidays from the Screen Slurps! And this month be safe and make sure you don't stay HOME ALONE! That's right, this week we're covering the 1990 classic "Home Alone" starring Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, and Catherine O'Hara. This film has become a holiday standard for many families and we dive into all the details!

Directed by Sam Mendes, "Road to Perdition" was a career staple for a handful of todays famous actors. Yet many people have never seen (or even heard of) the film at all! This week we talk with guest Jeff Loehrke about filmmaking, motion graphics, and the highlights that this film helped inspire into his own work.

Tell us what you want, what you really really want! This week we're talking all about the pop girl group, Spice Girls, and their 1990's feature film entitled "Spice World". Will this film really spice up your life? We cover all the pros and cons in the world of spice on this week's episode.

Cinema is still alive! This week we talk about the pros and cons of traveling through time in the brand new film, "Tenet", directed by Christopher Nolan. We're also stoked to be joined by Chicago film director, Matthew Weinstein, to discuss his brand new film release, "A Missed Connection". All that and more on this week's episode!

In these crazy times we're shrinking back to the classics, LITERALLY! "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" is a comedy that taught us all to be careful with our inventions or else we could end up shrinking a whole family (or two). The film stars Rick Moranis, Marcia Strassman, Amy O'Neill, Robert Oliveri, Matt Frewer, and Thomas Wilson Brown.

This week we're taking a look at the all new comedy-drama film "On the Rocks" featuring Bill Murray and Rashida Jones. Written and directed by Sofia Coppola, this movie really had us wondering about the characters and the motivation behind the story. Was the script inspired by personal experiences? How can we relate to the film? We discuss this and more.

The film stars Bill Murray, Rashida Jones, Marlon Wayans, Jessica Henwick, and Jenny Slate.

Hello Clarice! It's the final week of our SPOOKY MOVIE MONTH and we wanted to dive into a horror film known and discussed by many! Directed by Jonathan Demme, "The Silence of the Lambs" helped turn the genre on its head and even swept its way to winning 5 Academy Awards in 1992. The film stars Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins, Ted Levine, Brooke Smith, and Scott Glenn.

For week three of our SPOOKY MOVIE MONTH we made sure we'd talk all about a scary movie that makes everyone... wait for it... SCREAM! That's right, "Scream" is an iconic horror film for its witty writing and memorable antagonist known as "Ghostface". We discuss what helped make this movie stand out during its time and how it continues to be one of the main horror films everyone continues to go back to.

It's the second week of Screen Slurps' SPOOKY MOVIE MONTH and things are getting extra scary! This week we take a look at director Ari Aster's debut feature film 'Hereditary' and talk about what makes this film memorable...and keeps you from going to bed at night. The film stars Toni Collette, Milly Shapiro, Alex Wolff, Gabriel Byrne, and Ann Dowd.

It's time for the Screen Slurps SPOOKY MOVIE MONTH! What better way to start the season than with a Disney cult classic. 'Hocus Pocus' follows the story of a teenager who upon exploring an abandoned house accidentally frees a coven of witches (trust me this film is hysterical). We talk about the film first opening to poor reviews, its turnaround of fans, and what we thought overall. Featuring special guest Lizzie Jassin! Starring Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy, Omri Katz, and Thora Birch.
