  • Episode 41 - When There's No More Room In Hell...
    In the latest episode of Watch.Read.Listen. Duane and David talk about George A. Romero's seminal 1978 film Dawn of the Dead, as well, as the 2004 re-make directed by Zack Snyder, and written by James Gunn. What about the 1978 film makes it not only one of the greatest horror films but also a top-notch film in any genre? And does the 2004 film hold up ten years later? Was it any good to begin with? Give a listen and we'll let you know where we stand. This week: Duane: Daredevil Season 1; The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014); The Podcast Under the Stairs Bonus EP 21: An Introduction to Baz v Halloween; Evil Dead (2013) David: Nothing to see here.

  • They're Coming to Get You, Barbara - Episode 40
    In part one of our month-long look at the Dead films by George A. Romero, David and Duane discuss Romero's 1968 classic Night of the Living Dead and Tom Savini's 1990 remake. Romero's original was innovative and evocative not only as a horror movie, but just as a film, and demonstrates what can be achieved through the medium and the limitations of budget. Savini's remake still stands out as a good film, but our appreciation for it is mixed: while we enjoy some of the changes Savini and Romero (as screenwriter) made, others were less effective. But first, this week: Duane listened to The Projection Booth's epic episode on the Marx Brother's Duck Soup, watched a bunch of Richard Ayoade videos on YouTube (but especially this one), and listened to one of his favorite bands, mewithoutYou. David listened to Duncan McLeish and Andy Blockley's new podcast Opera Omnia, season 1 of which is exploring the films of Michael Mann, starting with his first film, Thief (1981); watched Childish Gambino's (aka Donald Glover) video for his song "Sweatpants," watched KaptainKristian's exploration of Childish Gambino in "Storytelling Through Hip-Hop," and watch episodes 1-5 of Marvel's Luke Cage on Netflix. Next week, David and Duane will be exploring Romero's 1978 Dawn of the Dead along with Zack Snyder's 2004 remake. Please head over to your iTunes app and leave us a rating and review; we'd very much appreciate it.

  • Episode 39 - The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

    In this episode of Watch.Read.Listen., David and Duane discuss Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's excellent comic The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen as well as Stephen Norrington's less-than-extraordinary 2003 adaptation starring Sean Connery. How can such a great story have such a mediocre adaptation (and why is that so often the case)?

    But first:

    This week, Duane watched a lot of Braille Skateboarding's YouTube channel, especially their "You Make It, We Skate It" and "Skate Everything" series, as well as Starbucks Doubleshot's mini-doc on them. He listened to To Speak of Wolves newly-released EP New Bones, and Mythgard Academy's final session on Tolkien's The Lost Road.

    David listened to the Hail Ming Power Hour Podcast, and watched Sergio Martino's Torso (1973), Taika Waititi's Boy (2010), and classic horror movies Phantasm (1979) and Phantasm II (1988).

    If you would, take a moment and rate/review us on iTunes and Stitcher; we would really appreciate it.
