Chris Stachiw (The Kulturecast) and Andy Gnosis join me on an epic episode devoted to THE AMITYVILLE HORROR (1979), its two sequels, and the 2005 reboot with Ryan Reynolds. PLUS, we can't help but talk about the two incidents that inspired the films, the DeFeo murders and the Lutz family's haunting claims.

February movie watches and some info about the re-release of old, individual WDIRT episodes.

More #BegleyOnBegley Action is coming your way! And more #SchraderOnBegley Action to boot! Coming in under the wire for BOBAM (just pretend it's a Leap Year) with a quickie on CAT PEOPLE (1982). Schrader's slick, colorful remake is a great watch, despite the icky incest plotline. Ed Begley, Jr. gets to have some fun in this, until... well, just listen.

This episode is a little bit #BegleyOnBegley Action Month and a little bit WDIRT and a whole lot of f-words. I take a look at Paul Schrader's BLUE COLLAR (1978) which is sort of a heist film, but mostly a hard-hitting look at labor relations in the auto industry.

January watches and the low-down on "Begley on Begley Action Month" over at The Kulturecast.

My fourth appearance on the film podcast of film podcasts, The Projection Booth:

"Spaghetti Western month continues with a look at the SABATA films -- it's something of a trilogy, but not really. And some might say that there are seven films in the series… but, really, there’re just two. The original film, SABATA (1969), was written and directed by Gianfranco Parolini and stars Lee Van Cleef as the titular gunfighter who’s no stranger to gadgets.

Mark Begley and Heather Drain join Mike to discuss the three official SABATA films and four of the knock-offs which have little to nothing to do with the titular gunfighter."

Get to know Heather Drain (aka Mondo Heather) as she joins me to discuss an instrumental film from her youth, RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD (1985). Dan O'Bannon's punk rock zombie classic takes center stage here, but we also get some horror movie background from Heather, and discover her love for one Mr. Clu Gulager.
