  • National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (Christmas Series FINALE!)

    Send us Fan Mail

    It's fitting that the Christmas Series finale ends on a movie that ends on Christmas EVE. What irony! Christmas Vacation has been one of the recent additions to my festive favs. It's hard to not laugh at the antics of the Griswolds. Who had to leave this production because of Chevy Chase? Who was the guy who wrote this Christmas Classic based on a short story? And who was the inspiration for Cousin Eddie?
    Merry Christmas Screen Team!

    Part 1: Intro!!!!
    Part 2: its a love...actually.
    Part 3: The character of Clark Griswold
    Part 4: CHEVY CHASE
    Part 5: Cousin Eddie
    Part 6: Who wrote the Vacation films?
    Part 7: The Comedy of Christmas Vacation
    Part 8: The Cast
    Part 9: The Famous Freak-OUT Scene
    Part 10: One of my favorite scenes
    Part 11: Merry Christmas

    Part 3: The way Elf has aged 20 years later.

  • The History Of The Grinch

    Send us Fan Mail

    To think the creature that had Queen Elizabeth the second scared is still beloved to this day. But why is this cranky character so beloved? It's hard to imagine a Christmas without the character that stole our hearts with his small one. The Grinch is still one of the characters that has a place in and out of a Christmas atmosphere, but what did the other two versions have to present? 
    Part 1: Intro!
    Part 2: How The Grinch was created
    Part 3: How the Grinch came to life in 1966. 
    Part 4: How The Grinch was directed by Ron Howard
    Part 5: How The Grinch Took Over The Pandemic 
    Part 6 How The Grinch got messed up by Illumination
    Part 7: How The Grinch History closes out 
    Part 8: How The Screen Queen found out what the next episode is gonna be.

    What's this? wHaT's ThIs? A new podcast episode? What's this? WHAT'S THIS? A Christmas episoooode?

    Get your spirit guns, spirit swords, rose whips, and dragon flames out. We're diving into a new spin on a beloved anime classic. It is also my favorite anime, so the stakes are raised.

    Happy Thanksgiving, I'm grateful for such a supporting crowd that has stuck with me through thick and thin.

  • Heartbreak Ridge

    Send us Fan Mail

    The show is back with a Clint Eastwood Classic about a hardheaded gunny who has to whip up the recruits like Captain Shang did in Mulan. But in this case, a talking dragon and a woman in drag aren't gonna save the day. This film dives into many military aspects rather than just the inside of how it works. It's a raw film that doesn't get enough appreciation these days and now I'm here to shine on some stories of this film. 
    Part 1: Intro!
    Part 2: The plot of Heartbreak Ridge
    Part 3: The historical notes of what went into Heartbreak Ridge
    Part 4: How Heartbreak Ridge got it's title
    Part 5: Cast talk and Character analysis. 
    Part 6: The flaw of the movie 
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C3CjOkF-jY

About The Screen Queen

From the publisher's feed

I have to do something with these commentaries. Here on the Screen Queen, I host the show that puts an end to the term show stopper, because the show never stopped. There is so much to say about…
