2026 brings a new addition to the podcast - a quarterly horror special with Dave Hughes, staff writer at moviearcher.com, where we cover everything of the spooky and scary variety. 

But this time, we weren't alone!!! Joining us, we were humbled to have Director Mike P. Nelson (Silent Night, Deadly Night), who brought all his expertise in the genre to enrich the conversation. 

On this episode, we discussed Mike's inspirations and journey as a filmmaker, gave our feedback on some of our favorite Q1 films, and looked ahead at the movies we're most excited about in Q2.

I took a deep dive into 2017, along with special guests Klarissa Beckstead from the I've Seen That One podcast and writer/journalist Saleah Blancaflor, and after the episode we turned the voting over to you, the people!

We didn't agree with any of the Academy's wins that year, so all six categories went to the social media polls for you, the listeners to decide on. 

The voting has concluded and it's time to share the results and officially add these winners to the coveted Revisionist's Almanac.

With this episode cycle completed, we turn our attention to episode twenty-eight, where I was joined by a returning guest and a first time guest - Britt Reinholz-Hobson from 1001by1 and Nikko Caruso from the Movie Archer Podcast Network - to dissect the year 2012 (Argo winning Best Picture). This episode will release on Friday, April 3rd.

Thanks for checking out the voting results and be sure to subscribe to the channel and rate/review the show!

Going forward, I'll be getting together on a quarterly basis with my friend Britt Reinholz-Hobson from the 1001by1 podcast and we'll cover all that's going on in the world of animation. Film. Television. Video Games. Anything that we want to!

Britt wasn't able to be part of this first episode, so I gave a quick rundown of some of the things I enjoyed in Q1 and what I'm looking forward to in Q2. Britt and I will be back at the end of June for the next special in this series.
