The Spooky Linings Playlist

Well, bitch, summer is coming to an end, and what better way to close it out than by discussing the massive summer blockbuster - and incredibly dreadful - Freddy vs. Jason from 2003? Two titans of the slasher genre are reduced to bumbling doofuses and are plagued by the absolute worst people in this barely-a-movie...movie. So much happens in this 97 minute flick that it took us almost twice as long to dissect it all, so strap in for a wild ride as we discuss everything from magician cops to pegging for feminism, from Freddy wielding the Infinity Gauntlet to objectively the worst 30 seconds in movie history and a hell of a lot more with returning guests Brandi & Jenn!

Freddy vs. Jason stars Monica Keena, Kelly Rowland, Jason Ritter, Chris Marquette, Lochlyn Munro, and Robert Englund. Directed by Ronny Yu.

Who doesn’t love an aptly named movie? 1996’s Sleepers is a 2 hour and 27 minute film with about 12 minutes of story - and even those 12 minutes are virtually unbearable. But that’s not to say there aren’t some wild moments to talk about. In this week’s episode, we’ll cover the movie in full plus the undeniable similarities it shares with a famous Stephen King property, the uselessness of the “based on a true story” marketing trope, and the time Dustin drank holy water. All of that and more awaits!

Warning: the film Sleepers deals with the topic of child abuse and pedophilia, and our episode covers those subjects in context with how the movie portrays them.

Sleepers stars Dustin Hoffman, Minnie Driver, Robert De Niro, Kevin Bacon, Jason Patric, and Brad Pitt. Directed by Barry Levinson.

In a world filled with multiple billion dollar movies, they can’t all be The Avengers or The Lord of the Rings. Some of them are (unfortunately) Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. This one has to be in the top 5 dumbest movies of all time - and we’ll dissect every factor that makes it so. So buckle up, because there’s a lot to discuss including the wrong way to adopt a child, putting a stop to Colin Trevorrow, how much a dinosaur would feasibly cost, and so much more in this explosive episode with returning guest Michael Moss.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Rafe Spall, Justice Smith, Daniella Pineda, James Cromwell, Isabella Sermon, Toby Jones, Ted Levine, B.D. Wong, Geraldine Chaplin, and Jeff Goldblum. Directed by Juan Antonio Bayona.

With the recent release of Sir Nicolas Cage’s Pig, it’s time we reevaluate one of the more recent prestige Cage films with the wild ride that is 2018’s Mandy. One-half a psychedelic, slow burn horror film, one-half blood-soaked revenge thriller, this one’s a ton of fun. So take some recreational drugs or pop open that vodka bottle and dive down the rabbit hole with us as we debate which Nic Cage character would win in a battle royale, the most insulting movie ending of all time, the best musical score to write to, and a hell of a lot more with returning guest Michael Overby.

Mandy stars Nicolas Cage, Andrea Riseborough, Linus Roache, Richard Brake and Bill Duke. Directed by Panos Cosmatos.

Life’s a funny thing; not this one, though. Despite all the rumors, Life (2017) wasn’t a Venom prequel, nor a secret Cloverfield sequel. It was just…fine. That being said, we have a lot to talk about with this one. Is Joseph Gordon-Levitt a good actor? Does Kim Kardashian have a bathroom secret? What would Jurassic Park look like without the dinosaurs? All of that and more - plus, ya know, some of this movie - is discussed in this out of this world episode.

Life (2017) stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, Ryan Reynolds, Hiroyuki Sanada, Ariyon Bakare, Olga Dihovichnaya, Camiel Warren-Taylor, and Naoko Mori. Directed by Daniel Espinosa.

It’s been 20 years since the remake and 10 since the reboot, so what better time to dive back into the Apes franchise than now? We already covered the remake way back in episode 2, but now we’re finally taking on the original. It’s 1968’s Planet of the Apes - a movie that seems to be ironically making a statement that’s the complete opposite of its intentions. Does this classic sci-fi adventure film hold up? Tune in to find out. Other topics of discussion include Nathan’s immaculate recounting of the sequels, the concept of a “dad movie”, lower jaw acting, and much much more. So get your stinkin’ paws on this episode, you damn dirty listener!

Planet of the Apes (1968) stars Roddy McDowall, Maurice Evans, Charlton Heston, Linda Harrison, and Kim Hunter. Directed by Franklin J. Schaffner.

Finally, after years apart, we’re back in the universe of Jimmy - no, wait - James Bond. And with No Time to Die (hopefully) on the horizon, we thought now would be a great time to break open the massive blockbuster that is Casino Royale and see what it’s all about with a special crossover featuring the host of the ohsix/ohseven podcast and returning guest Johnny “Utah” Hoffler Jr. If you play your cards right, you may just hear us discuss the power of Fernet Branca, what M’s real name is, how Pierce Brosnan pronounces “mojito”, the ultimate Fast Saga crossover pitch, and so much more in this epically long episode. You asked for it, so we delivered.

Casino Royale stars Daniel Craig, Eva Green, Judi Dench, Jeffrey Wright, Giancarlo Giannini, and Mads Mikkelsen. Directed by Martin Campbell.

If you thought last week’s movie was an odd one, wait until you feast your eyes on 1987’s Angel Heart. Somehow simultaneously boring as sin and yet fascinatingly weird, this one’s got plenty to talk about - and we’ll do just that. So hop on the elevator that’s only going down as we discuss Dustin’s Lisa Bonet and Jason Momoa stories, Chekov’s gumbo, the best part of every diner, and a hell (pun intended) of a lot more.

Angel Heart stars Mickey Rourke, Stocker Fontelieu, Lisa Bonet, Robert De Niro, Brownie McGhee, and Charlotte Rampling. Directed by Alan Parker.

Turbo Team assemble! Season 2 of the fantastic Netflix sketch show I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson has just dropped, and we had to talk about it for a Silver Linings Special. Why? Because there’s a lot of darkness under the surface of this show which is right up our alley. Nathan and Dustin dissect twelve of the darkest sketches of the series and discuss some truly insane topics, such as babies not feeling pain, Nathan’s love of all things Garfield, the worst thing you can do as a parent, and so much more. We think you should…click play.

I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson stars Tim Robinson and a ton of guests including Will Forte, Steven Yeun, Vanessa Bayer, Fred Willard, Tim Heidecker and Kate Berlant. Created by Zach Kanin and Tim Robinson.

We’re back in the saddle with the premiere of Season 5, and in keeping with our Aronofsky tradition, we kick off the season by doing some long division to try to find the end result of Pi. Did this film indirectly influence The Matrix? What’s going on with those ants? And why did so many metal bands from the early 2000s sample this movie? We’ll get to the bottom of all of that, plus we’ll discuss the theory that Mark Margolis is a vampire, the laws regarding wearing a hat in your dreams, the strange distribution rights to Phantasm II, and so much more. And to top it all off, we’ll introduce our new permanent co-host (and fantastic past guest) Nathan Simmons. It’s about to get weird, y’all.

Pi stars Ben Shenkman, Sean Gullette, Stephen Pearlman, Mark Margolis, and Pamela Hart. Directed by Darren Aronofsky.
