The Spooky Linings Playlist

Somehow, with over 160 episodes already in our back catalog, we still haven't covered a proper Nightmare on Elm Street movie. Well that serious infraction ends today as we're talking about none other than A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. Nancy's back and so is Freddy in this classic slasher sequel that gifted us some great moments for this franchise (and some not-so-great ones too.)  Does it hold up, or is this yet another objectively bad '80s slasher flick? We'll let you know as we tear into this movie and kick its ass all over dreamland. Plus, discussions on "boy math", Freddy being an LGBTQ+ ally, our My Chemical Romance inspired nun names, reaching the Saxon Peak (of being drunk), and a hell of a lot more with returning guest and The VHS Files host Josh Browning await you on the other side. What a rush!

You can check out The VHS Files on YouTube and Apple Podcasts.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors stars Craig Wasson, Heather Langenkamp, Patricia Arquette, Larry Fishburne, Priscilla Pointer, and Robert Englund. Directed by Chuck Russell.

You know the schedule: first we dine, then we talk about 1989's Society! If you've never heard of "the Shunting" before, there's not much we can do to prepare you for it. And for those that have witnessed it for themselves, it's impossible to forget. Plain and simple, this is an odd movie, but in all the best ways - part Chopping Mall levels of weirdness combined with an ending that would make Cronenberg blush. So grab your pee tea and your suntan lotion cause we're conjoining with this film to discuss some of the bests and worsts: the worst line of dialogue in all of cinema, the best thing to ever come out of pornography (it's not what you think), the best candidate to remake this movie, and plenty more.

Society stars Billy Warlock, Devin DeVasquez, Evan Richards, and Ben Meyerson. Directed by Brian Yuzna.

Spooky Linings continues this week on the show as we're exploring our Bodies Bodies Bodies. Is this Gen Z's very own Scream or just another try-hard horror flick? It's tough to say what this movie's longevity will be, but all we can say right now is that it's, at the very least, enjoyable. So grab your Xanax and put on your glow stick bracelets cause we're covering every inch of this one. We also get into the discourse of sex scenes in movies, Zaxby's creepily named menu items, Mallie's "slap bet" reign of terror, Maria Bakalova almost singlehandedly bringing down Rudy Giuliani, and plenty more. Slay, queen.

Bodies Bodies Bodies stars Amandla Stenberg, Maria Bakalova, Myha'la Herrold, Chase Sui Wonders, Rachel Sennott, Lee Pace, Pete Davidson, and Conner O'Malley. Directed by Halina Reijn.

With a new Exorcist movie getting a theatrical release this week, we thought there was no better way to kick off our Spooky Linings month than with a retrospective look at the only good sequel to the original. It's of course 1990's The Exorcist III. A slow burn, pseudo neo-noir film with a truly dreadful tone that is only hindered by its insistence at telling instead of showing. That being said, this one is definitely worth your time. Put on your straight jacket, climb around on the ceiling, and shut your goddamn mouth! (respectfully) as we crack open this wild ride of a movie, along with all those insane cameos in the Heaven scene, why William Friedkin (R.I.P.) was one of the greatest haters of all time, using Imagine Dragons songs as mnemonic devices for movie titles, and a hell of a lot more.

The Exorcist III stars George C. Scott, Ed Flanders, Jason Miller, Scott Wilson, Nicol Williamson, and Brad Dourif. Directed by William Peter Blatty.

After a much needed break, we're rejuvenated, refreshed, and ready to kick off Season 7. And what better movie to be energized to discuss than one where the protagonist sits on a couch the whole time? In keeping with tradition, we're discussing yet another Aronofsky movie for our season premiere, and this time it's 2022's The Whale. A powerful yet divisive film from Aronofsky, so there's certainly a lot to talk about. So grab some KFC and kick up your feet as we discuss the movie, plus the incredible return of the great Brendan Fraser, the fallacy in logic with Jehovah's Witnesses, recasting this movie with the leads of Succession, and much, much more. It's good to be back!

The Whale stars Brendan Fraser, Sadie Sink, Hong Chau, Ty Simpkins, Samantha Morton, and Sathya Sridharan. Directed by Darren Aronofsky.

It's the dog days of summer, and while there's still a little bit of a wait before Season 7 kicks off, we're bringing you something very, very special as a bonus to hold you over. It's a special episode on one of Dustin's favorite movies of all time: 1994's Speed! Even by 2023's standards, it's fair to say this film is what Mallie routinely refers to as a "white knuckle thrill ride". But does it still hold up? Join us and find out, because this isn't your average episode. We're not just talking about the movie, but talking during the movie. That's right: it's a live commentary! In what we're calling "Double Speed Dating", Dustin and Nathan recruit their betrotheds and past guests Priscilla Hendry and Ashley McGlothren to cover every second of this fantastic film.

We cover a wide, wide range of topics, including Priscilla confusing Jeff Daniels with Dave Coulier, the other actors considered for Jack and Annie (including Tom Hanks and Halle Berry), the brilliance of Michael Bay's Ambulance, "The Annie" haircut being the original "The Rachel", the absolutely illogical route the bus traverses in this movie, and a ton more. So grab your Blu-ray copy or load up that stream of the movie and listen along with us. And remember: don't get dead.

You can listen to Nathan and Dustin's band The Fever // The Rage's debut album NeverEnding now.

You can also check out Southern Haunts and Oh, That’s a Scary Movie on Apple Podcasts or wherever get your podcasts.

Speed stars Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper, Sandra Bullock, and Joe Morton. Directed by Jan de Bont.

NOTE: This episode is intended to be used as a watchalong; a live commentary track to be played in unison with the movie itself. We used a copy of the Blu-ray to watch the film, and we provide the timecode to sync up with our commentary. In our episode, you can jump to 7:10 to begin the movie.

We're closing up shop for the season, but not before talking about one of our favorite movies from the last few years. It's the "sometimes maligned, sometimes adored" Malignant from James Wan. A very divisive film that some audiences either didn't get, didn't have the time for, or simply didn't approve, but for those who embraced it, they found an absolute gem. And we've got an episode so good it'll make you want to tear your hair out. So slip on your giallo gloves and crawl into bed with us as we crack open this incredible movie to discuss all things Gabriel, plus the stigma of Mountain Dew, the "horror goatse", doctors with catch phrases, Malignant vs. M3gan, and much, much more!

And, as always, thanks for another great season of TSLP. See you on the other side for Season 7!

Malignant stars Annabelle Wallis, George Young, Jake Abel, Maddie Hasson, Michole Briana White, Jacqueline McKenzie, Ingrid Bisu, Jon Lee Brody, Paula Marshall, Patrick Cox, Rachel Winfree, and Paul Mabon. Directed by James Wan.

In our penultimate episode of the season, we're pulling up a chair to the table as we devour 2022’s The Menu. This sleek, stylish, and sophisticated tale of the elites getting what's coming to them has a rich layer of humor and terror that's worthy of your attention. So tuck that napkin into your shirt and grab your utensils as we crack open this great movie to talk about it all, as well as the magic of eating fast food as a kid, Elon Musk's secret plan to kill us all (allegedly), why Steven Segal was the worst SNL host ever, and other great discussions. Plus, Mallie plays the banjo! All of that and more, but we have to beg of you one thing. It's just one. Do not listen. Hear. Savor. Relish. Consider every word that you place inside your ears. Be mindful. But do not listen. Our episode is too precious for that.

The Menu stars Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicholas Hoult, Hong Chau, Janet McTeer, Judith Light, John Leguizamo, Rob Yang, Mark St. Cyr, Reed Birney, Aimee Carrero, and Arturo Castro. Directed by Mark Mylod.

Somehow Paranormal Activity 2 was a huge success (at least in terms of box office revenue) despite being a dreadfully boring movie. That being said, this may be one of the funniest movies of 2010 - unintentionally, of course. We welcome returning guest Ashley McGlothren as we crack open this film to discuss it all: which fast food chain has the worst french fries, creepy kids toys, swingers with pineapples, and of course: the Cheez-It casserole. So grab a bag of your favorite Dorito's and maybe some Burger King (man, lots of food talk in this episode) and listen now!

You can check out Southern Haunts and Oh, That’s a Scary Movie on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Paranormal Activity 2 stars Micah Sloat, Katie Featherston, Sprague Grayden, Brian Boland, Molly Ephraim, and Vivis. Directed by Tod Williams.
