The Argo City Podcast

It's time to play the music.
It's time to light the lights.
It's time for a film more entertaining than HUMANLY possible.

Maddie's been battling an awful cold (which I'm convinced came from the strange plants that grow under her bedroom window) so we're late talking about the ORIGINAL Invasion of the Body Snatchers from 1958. The long wait also gave Matthew a chance to read the book which adds horrifiying implications to the cinematic horrors!

This week we're talking about a 1978 classic! Join Maddie and Matthew... um. Wait. That is Matthew isn't it? And what's that plant doing behind the couch?

It's back to the arctic wastes with a shapeshifting monster! Maddie and Matthew conclude their discussion of John Carpenter's The Thing!

Six weeks of Scary continues with a masterpiece of paranoia. Maddie and Matthew talk about the cinematic and literary foundations of the perfect remake. This week, we're watching 1982's The Thing.

So....I got cold feet. After Maddie's reaction to the image of the Return of the Fly, it occured to me that this might be just a bit too over the top in it's body horror for her. But it's still important for her to see and know the 1985 remake - so were going to speed run a summary and get some reactions to that instead. Don't worry, we're bringing the gore and latex next week. John Carpenter's the Thing has taken The Fly's movie slot. But for now, let's enjoy some peak Jeff Goldblum. And if you want to see my reviews of all the fly movies - head over to Argo City Comics. We did a whole Franchise Focus on this series!

Six weeks of Scary continues with another Vincent Price classic!

We did the original last week - now it's time for the remake!

House on Haunted Hill may just be Vincent Price's finest hour. Our family has some history with it as well, which makes it the perfect way to kick off spooky season with Six Weeks of Scary!

Maddies been itching for a zombie movie for a while. Matt had no idea that 's what this was. But is the Girl With all the Gifts horror? Is it thriller? Or does it defy categorization?
