I really like showing Cleo some of my favorite Classic Horror films, and this happens to be one of my all time faves. On this episode we take a look at John Carpenter's 1982 practical effects masterpiece The Thing. I love this movie, but where will it rank for Cleo amongst the other Classics we've watched? You'll just have to have a listen.

This is one of *those* episodes. A good half-hour of me just flap-jawin'. If you like watching paint dry, you'll love hearing me talk about painting our house. But there's also movie recs, lots o' clips, and general news and notes.

And here's the first part (second released) of the Wake Up Heavy/Kulturecast Crossover!

"In this bonus crossover episode, we take a look at the most recent entry into The Conjuring Universe and possibly the final film in the mainline franchise: The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. Starring the always fantastic pair of Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson, the film follows the two as they attempt to clear the name of a man who murdered while possibly possessed. Wake Up Heavy's Mark Begley joins Chris to talk about the film, the universe as a whole, and if there will be another movie."

Sharing some episodes of www.projectionboothpodcast.com/ that I've been lucky enough to guest on. Moving on to my third appearance on the show. You can STILL hear/feel my nerves here.

"We're looking at Miguel Llanso's Crumbs (2015), the story of a post apocalyptic future where items from the past are given special significance as our hero, Candy (played by Daniel Tadesse), goes on a quest, first to see the witch and then to see Santa Claus.

Chris Stachiw and Mark Begley join Mike to talk about Crumbs as well as Llanso's Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway from 2019."

Sharing some episodes of https://www.projectionboothpodcast.com/ that I've been lucky enough to guest on. Starting with my first appearance on the show. You can hear/feel my nerves here.

"On this special episode of The Projection Booth we’re looking at the 2019 film from director Orçun Behram, The Antenna (2019). The film stars Ihsan Önal as Mehmet, a overseer of an apartment building in Turkey. We begin the film on the day when a new satellite dish is being installed that is part of a new era for the country where the government can now broadcast directly to its citizens’ televisions. Let’s just say that this isn’t the utopia that was promised.

Mark Begley and David Rodgers join Mike to talk about this film which plays in select theaters starting October 2, 2020 and digital platforms starting October 20, 2020."

The Kulturecast Crossover continues with this look at Tobe Hooper's 1982 horror classic POLTERGEIST. Chris Stachiw joins WUH to talk about the movie that traumatized him as a wee-one and turned him off of horror for years. We also delve into the sequels and the 2015 remake.

Our Crossover also includes an episode of The Kulturecast on the new CONJURING film, and its cinematic universe. Look for that episode soon in the Wake Up Heavy stream.

On this episode of WUH we discuss the 1977 film LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR. GOODBAR was written and directed by Richard Brooks, based on the 1975 novel by Judith Rossner, which is loosely based on the real life and death of Roseann Quinn. The film stars Diane Keaton as Theresa Dunn, a twenty something woman living in The Big City who leads a “double life.”

Yes, I watched a lot of movies on TV as a kid, but I also watched a lot of TV shows on TV. On this "very special episode" (get it?) I talk about my earliest TV scare, and some of the programs with a spooky edge that I really enjoyed. Beware the mysteries among the dark shadows of the night gallery. Muah ha ha ha!

Cleo's back to talk* about two more Monster Battle Movies. Since Kong is in both of these we're going with KING KONG VS... this time around.

First up is King Kong Escapes (1967). And then we get into the just-released Godzilla vs. Kong (2021).

*Doing these episodes reminds me that even when it’s about something they enjoy, getting a 13-yr. old to talk can be like pulling teeth. :)
