The Remedial Film Class Podcast

Dan and Travis have been threatening to show this movie to George for years. They never mentioned that it was Paul Verhoeven (Robocop, Total Recall, Basic Instinct) but you have to assume George had lofty expectations (or a paralyzing sense of confusion) when he read the "directed by" credits.

Let's settle with you guys. This movie stinks. But the real discussion begins with the "Why!?" What happened to this movie? Why is it the way it is? We get into it. And then we quote it a bunch. And then we question ourselves. And Travis snorted again.

Will Travis take back his baseless attacks on Shannon Tweed? Will George ever trust us to show him a movie again? Will Dan seriously defend this movie as accomplishing its mission? Thanks for the cheeseburger.

George wasn't ready. Travis wasn't ready. Sleepaway Camp is something no one can really be prepared for.

Luckily Aaron (friend of the show and author of the spectacular Primal Fear legal breakdown on our Facebook Group) is a Sleepaway Camp Super-Fan to help Dan shepherd the guys through what might be the most challenging content in a movie thus far. Plus the conversation literally makes Travis snort at some point.

How will George handle the concept of a "Bad movie" being super fun. Is he ready? Will Travis get too hung up on the beginning of the movie to stick the landing at the end? Will Aaron be able to get a word in with all the commotion? Can Dan successfully convince everyone that this movie belongs on the show at all? Tune in to find out!

What began as a fun "extra" planned for the Halloween 1978 revisiting has broken loose into its own Halloween Special. Can Travis or George name a movie that is a better watch than Halloween 78? 

Will Travis and George really try to bring the Wendy Theory into this again? Will they be the same after hearing the (made up off-the-cuff-by-Dan) "Loomis Theory" for Halloween 78? Will any of us leave this episode unchanged?

Mini_Megz finishes up her first (good) Halloween experience and the guys couldn't be happier. She liked it, guys! But she liked it so much we had to continue into a part 3. No Cochrans were injured in the making of this episode.

Does Travis think he's convinced us he was watching for shadows in THAT scene? Are you, the audience, ready for Ode to the Blue Blouse? Is Dan safe around Megz after making her watch Halloween 5 first? What major bombshell is Dan going to drop in the last minute of this podcast? Tune in to find out!

Mini_Megz had so much fun with Halloween that we had to split the episode! So join the conversation already in progress. And this one gets to the sexy stuff.

Will George come around to the magic of telephone technology of the time? Is Travis really going to go that far out of his way to justify the butter? Is Dan back on his FBI Profiler spiel again so soon? Tune in to find out!

Mini_Megz is back and she is angry. And rightfully so. You see, she had no idea she was being used as a crutch to carry the guys through the abysmal Halloween 5 during her first appearance. And to make matters worse, now she has seen Halloween (1978) and understands the full extent of the travesty. But did she like Halloween?

And will George enjoy his first chance to "teach" a newbie about one of his favorite movies from the show? Will Travis really continue to hold this grudge against the mother of Michael Myers? Did Dan just totally fix that opening scene? Tune in to find out!

Death has come back to your town, Sheriff... and The Internet's Most Divisive Movie of 2022 has come to the Remedial Film Class Podcast. Either the best and most original Halloween film in decades or the worst movie in the history of moving pictures, this one isn't without strong reactions. And you are getting fresh reactions from all three of the guys.

Halloween 2018 was universally praised by the panel, but Halloween Kills was not well received by Travis or George. Will Halloween Ends bring George over to the dark side with Dan? And will Travis enjoy Ends more than Kills due to a distinct lack of Gaston action? (Drink!) Tune in to find out!

For a literal calendar year, Travis and Dan have had to "save it for the pod." They had very different reactions when Halloween Kills was released last year and couldn't debate (argue? fight?) the merits of their perspectives until George was ready to hear it. Well, "Bad Takes Die Tonight" as Dan and Travis finally get to defend their positions. Will George pick a side? To give himself the best chance, George watched this movie twice in preparation. That's dedication!

Then, George gets to chime in on his rankings of all of the Halloween movies he has seen. And finally, the guys discuss where they hope Halloween Ends will (and won't!) go when it is released on Friday, October 14, 2022.

Will Travis manage to hold the goalposts in place long enough to make a cogent argument? Will George catch the root of the infamous "Evil Dies Tonight" phrase during his second viewing? Will Dan manage to "Dark Knight" himself into a subtext the guys didn't see coming? The Podcast Tries Tonight!

George is ready to throw out all the nonsense of the Halloween sequels and jump right out of the end of Halloween 1978 and into the most recent Halloween 2. (and the third movie called Halloween.)

Will George manage to overlook (or even appreciate) the trigger discipline? Will Travis find himself more prepared to look at Halloween Kills next week with a fresh perspective? Will Dan ever get to know what "Everything." entails regarding Dr. Sartain and the files on Laurie and Michael? And will anyone believe us that Travis's Loomis impression was done without prep and not edited in any way? Stick around for that alone!

The Fall Break is about to get brutal... We mean it is going to be brutal to George because he has to watch Rob Zombie's Halloween... But you know what? He actually liked it. We aren't kidding. 

But just because George caught the guys off-guard by liking a movie he was sure to hate, that doesn't mean we let him get away with that. This is The Internet, after all, and everyone on the internet loves to bash on this movie. But... what if Dan liked it too? At least, more than he remembered...

Will George remain on team Zombie once he finds out who played Annie? Will Travis manage to go an entire episode without comparing a movie to King Kong? Can Dan finally make his pitch to save this movie (call us, Rob Zombie) and the franchise post-Blumhouse? (call us John Carpenter!) Find out today!
