Silver Screen Fiends Podcast

Woah. Hey. Been a while. Hope everyone is staying safe. Sam, Joe, and Blake discuss the current pandemic and its effect on the film industry (and everything else obviously). Other fun stuff includes Blake breaking 100k followers on his Insane Letterboxd Reviews Twitter, Joe's new short film release titled "Wait", and Sam's urge to smother himself in grease and strangle others.

On this episode of Silver Screen Shorts, Sam sits down and speaks on one of his all-time favorite comedic coming-of-age crime films, The Pope of Greenwich Village. Contents include a plot rundown and a brief review.

The boys are talking Oscars, baby. Parasite takes all. Sound editing and sound mixing confuse us. Scorsese LOVES Eminem. Screw Ford v Ferrari. And movies in general. I'm sure it's fine. Thelobster.com.

So...a lot has happened, huh? Holidays, conventions, and a load of illness. But we're back! And this time, we have a new fellow fiend who will be perma-joining us; The creator of Loudmouth Threads, the terror in the night, and one fine connoisseur of everything horror, our good buddy Blake! On today's episode, we finally get around to revealing our top 5 picks of 2019, our anticipated arrivals of the new year, and what that smell is under the bed. Movies suck.

Noirvember has come to an end, so Sam discusses a few first-time dives into the genre. He talks about Chinatown, The Woman in the Window, and The Big Sleep, which are all new favorites. No surprise there.

In the final episode during the Month of Spook, Sam and Joe are back at A Shared Universe PodcaStudio for a scary sit down with Blake of Loudmouth Threads and James. The topic? Universal Horror movies. All of them...mostly. We provide a rich history of Universal Pictures, an in-depth discussion on each classic monster from the golden age of horror, and much, much more. Time to kick back, crack open that can of beans (or you know, that chocolate bar since it's Halloween), and freak out with the fiends about film.

On the 5th edition of Silver Screen Shorts, Sam discusses one of the most impactful silent romantic drama films in existence, The Man Who Laughs. Oddly fitting choice since the Joker movie just came out. It's almost like Sam is trying to capitalize on that or something. Which is also funny because he only touches on that fact for 30 seconds in this episode. Oh well. Enjoy!

On the second "Month of Spook" episode, Sam and Joe talk about some of their favorite underrated horror movies. Films discussed include As Above, So Below, The Blair Witch Project, Would You Rather, Thinner, The Witch, and more. Sam also funnels an entire vat of candy corn down Joe's throat. Nothing but scary shenanigans for the fiends!

'Tis the season, baby! Joe and Sam are kicking off the Month of Spook with a discussion about horror soundtracks. Things derail. Very quickly. If you were looking for a clear, concise, and intelligent conversation about horror soundtracks, then this episode is DEFINITELY for you.

The boys are back, baby! We talk about all the film we've seen this summer, upcoming releases, and random movie banter. You can tell we just wanted to make you happy. Did we make you happy?
