This week was Conor’s pick and he has redeemed himself after Blood Diner with 1991’s Fried Green Tomatoes. It stars Kathy Bates, Jessica Tandy, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Mary-Louise Parker. It tells the story of a Depression-era friendship between two women, Ruth and Idgie, and a 1980s friendship between Evelyn, a housewife, and Ninny, an elderly woman. The centerpiece and parallel story concerns the murder of Ruth’s abusive husband, Frank, and the accusations that follow.

As we continue our celebration of all things spoopy, we watched the 2018 psychological thriller Unsane. The film stars Claire Foy as Sawyer, a woman with a troubled past being forcefully institutionalized in a mental health facility. This film was (mostly) shot on an iPhone 7 Plus with a small budget and short film time. We also discuss Don’s obsession with JUSTICE!

September means the official start for spoopy times and we kicked it off with the 2018 slasher film Hellfest. Directed by Gregory Plotkin, the film stars Amy Forsyth, Reign Edwards, Bex Taylor-Klaus, and Tony Todd, and follows a group of teens who are stalked by a serial killer while visiting a traveling Halloween carnival called Hellfest.

In honor of the passing of Peter Fonda we watched the 1969 road drama film Easy Rider. Directed by Dennis Hopper and written by Hopper. Fonda and Terry Southern its plot focuses on two bikers who travel through the American Southwest and South carrying the proceeds from a cocaine deal. The success of Easy Rider helped spark the New Hollywood era of filmmaking during the early 1970s. A landmark counterculture film, and a “touchstone for a generation” that “captured the national imagination,” Easy Rider explores the societal landscape, issues, and tensions in the United States during the 1960s, such as the rise of the hippie movement, drug use, and communal lifestyle.

Don just recently saw Toy Story 4 and it made him feel stuff so he wanted to see if watching the original 1995 film would temper those feelings *Spoiler Alert* it did not. We also figured because Zach had never seen the first Toy Story that ity would be a good idea to do an episode on it. Released in November 1995 it is about anthropomorphic toys who come to life when humans arent present and the struggle of Woody coming to terms with not being his owner Andy’s favorite anymore with that role going to Buzz. It is directorial debut of John Lasseter, and was the first entirely computer-animated feature film, as well as the first feature film from Pixar. It features the voices of Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Don Rickles, Wallace Shawn, John Ratzenberger, Jim Varney, Annie Potts, R. Lee Ermey, John Morris, Laurie Metcalf, and Erik von Detten.
