Silver Screen Fiends Podcast

Sam does his worst Al Pacino impression for a half hour straight. We also discuss movies, specifically what's to come in 2019. Maybe some Golden Globes? Idk, man. Can't get over the fact that Joe has NEVER seen a Pacino movie...I guess it doesn't actually matter, Joe still knows how to make a bangin' scrambled egg.

It's officially 2019, ya fools. Sam and Joe go over their favorite flicks of 2018, what's to come in the new year, and why there isn't a perfect temperature to cook a Hot Pocket.

This week's tasty jam covers all things Animoo with special guests Justin Guillou, Anime Manager and writer at OperationRainfall.com, and Phil O'Donnell, your professional host at Progentshow, a YouTube channel with a focus on Anime reviews. Sam basically lets them go at it here as they are literally the "Google of Anime". It's not a joke. Ask them anything. Right now.

The fiends are back this week to discuss the Home Alone series, one of Sam's new favorite Nicholas Cage films, Mandy, the holiday classic It's A Wonderful Life, and our movie giveaway. Other topics include our top 5 hand sanitizers ranked, the best Eggnog recipe, and a little short film Joe has been working on. Stay tuned!

'Twas the night before Christmas...well, not really. But at the time of recording, it WAS very late at night, so forgive the lack of personality and vigor on this edition of Silver Screen Shorts. Joe has been working on a top secret project, so it's time to grab a cup of creamy hot cocoa, sit by the open fire, and listen to Sam spill his love for one of the greatest holiday, and in general, animated films of all time, How The Grinch Stole Christmas!

It's a dark, stormy night. Only one light in the house works.

A knock on the door.

"Joe...is that you?", I asked.

"No...Joe is dead...for now", the mysterious voice replied.

"What kinda game is this? You a copper?"

"Nope. Just a man lookin' to have his voice heard", the voice quipped.

Joe is trying to find his calling as an olympic accordian player, so Sam is joined by talented voice actor and co-host on the YouTube show, RetroRoulette, Anthony Restivo. With the end of Noirvember upon us, we dive into the dark world of Film Noir. We also touch on the unfortunate passing of Stephen Hillenburg, creator of everybody's favorite aquatic character, Spongebob Squarepants.

We literally only talk about Sinbad this whole episode. We miss him.

Nah, we touch on the newly announced Criterion streaming service, Thanksgiving/Christmas flicks, and other FUN STUFF FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEEEEE.

The Silver Screen Fiends are back to infest your earhole. Episode 7 features the announcement of a new Toy Story movie, creepypasta lookin' Pokémon in the Detective Pikachu trailer, and the unfortunate passing of a titan in the comic book and entertainment industry, Stan Lee. We also touch on the history of animation, ranging from Looney Tunes and Tom & Jerry, to the slew of impressionable 90's cartoons that we still go crazy for. Millenials, we're lookin' at YOU.

On episode 6 of the Silver Screen Fiends Podcast, we're faced once again with the Criterion Collection sale at B&N. Ramen tastes really nice. We also discuss our favorite actors, which is a list that could go on forever, but we were nice enough to condense it. You're welcome.

In a new segment called "Silver Screen Shorts", Sam sustains the spoopy faith and discusses one of his favorite obscure horror films ever, The Abominable Dr. Phibes. With an abundance of doctors being murdered in the style of the Plagues of Egypt, cheesy 70s Art Deco vibes, and Vincent Price being Vincent Price, it's easy to see why this became somewhat of a cult classic.
