In what may be the last live recording of the year, Kat & Marc review the recently released “Violent Night,” throwback to Joe Dante’s “Gremlins,” and give you the best gift idea you’ve never thought of. Also, they close out the year with appreciation and wishes for the new year.

Before getting into the best films of 2022, Kat & Marc have a spoiler-free discussion about “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” and how Netflix blew an absolute lay-up.

For the 19th installment of Deleted Scenes, Marc discovers Kat’s origin story, Kat’s dad is almost on the show, and the gang discusses the weak summer movie line up.

Can a bad performance make a film better? Does Kat really like cocaine 80s cinema? Is it difficult stripping to blue grass music? These questions and more are explored as the gang reviews “Flash Gordon” and “Streets of Fire.” We’re sorry (but not really), Michael Paré. 

"Weird Al" Yankovic. Daniel Radcliffe. Evan Rachel Wood. “Bohemian Rhapsody” failing Freddie Mercury. The Weeknd. Ninety The Weeknd’s. Malcolm X. We’re sorry, Anne Heche. That’s it. That’s the show description. Listen to the episode.

Wrapping up an interesting October, Kat & Marc talk their favorite watches of the month. Kat dissects “The Shining” and other Stanley Kubrick films, Marc tries to sell “TÁR” and the wonderful works of the late, great Marlon Riggs (“Tongues Untied” and “Black Is…Black Ain’t”) and they both are sorry, Mr. D’Onofrio.

This group of Deleted Scenes are from the Season 5 recording sessions earlier this year. Kat & Marc cover (almost) Valentine’s Day fights, “Purple Rain” and “Under the Cherry Moon,” and ranking of the Batman films. Also, Marc & Handsome Bane contemplation on when we can talk about Will Smith again.

What happens when Michael Myers isn’t in his own movie? Well… Kat & Marc discuss “Halloween Ends” and their thoughts on the Halloween franchise. (Click here to view Marc’s rankings of the 13 Halloween films.) Also, Kat pitches new ideas for the film, while Marc envisions the rom-com that we didn’t know that we needed. Lastly, we send a special thanks to G4TV.

We’re picking up the pieces, bby! In this week’s episode, Kat shares her love of cult classic “The Lost Boys” and undertones of queer acceptance, Marc is taught vampire lore through “Fright Night”, and the gang shares their hopes for “Halloween Ends”.

This episode was recorded and released before Kat watched and wrote about “Halloween Ends” for Nerd Caliber. Read her spoiler-free review here: https://www.nerdcaliber.com/halloween-ends-the-franchise-with-a-whimper/
