Night two of 31 Nights of Frights brings us to a somewhat forgotten & unloved adaptation in the Tom Holland directed, Thinner. At its heart Thinner, is a cat and mouse revenge morality tale. Having viewed this a few times over the years, how does this Stephen King writing as Richard Bachman story hold up today? Have a listen to night two of 31 Nights of Frights to find out if this holds up tod...

For this week's episode, I decided to revisit the David Lynch directed, The Straight Story. Lynch tells the real-life story of Alvin Straight, who drove his lawn mower over 200 miles to see his brother, who recently had a stroke. David Lynch fans weren't sure how this one would fit with the often abstract work from the director. The film we received was a more normal feeling film that tells a grea...

This week's episode takes on the latest James Wan horror epic, Malignant. Malignant is a movie that has everyone talking about it's third act, it also has people completely divided on whether its a good movie or a bad movie, with seemingly very little middle ground.

For this episode I talk about the 2021 Rebootquel, Candyman. While largely a reboot, this Nic DaCosta directed film also works as a sequel to the original film. With being a huge fan of the original film and series, I had giant expectations that I wisely kept in check, but overall how did I feel on this Jordan Peele produced entry in a franchise that has been dormant for 22 years? Have a listen an...

For this episode, I took a look at the Lisa Joy directed film, Reminiscence. Lisa Joy of course is one half of the creative team of the HBO series, Westworld.

For this episode I tackle the latest film from M. Night Shyamalan film, Old. We all know Shyamalan had many highs with many lows in his career, so how does his latest high-concept film play out? Do we get the high points like The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, or Split? Or do we get a film that is closer to his career lows like The Last Airbender, After Earth, or The Happening? In addition to my though...

For this episode, I talk about the recently released Nicolas Cage film, Pig. A movie about a pig(kid)napping and the journey of a loaner truffle hunter that is on a quest to get his pig back. I know how this synopsis sounds...Its actually a moving character drama that I'm calling my possible best film of the year! Have a listen to find out why this is well worth your time and why it is the best fi...

For this episode I tackled the Netflix Original Movie Series, Fear Street: Part One- 1994. Based on the best-selling R.L. Stine young adult book series of the same name without exactly taking material from the book series, which is similar to the other recent adaptations of children's and young adult books. Were the filmmakers able to pull off a movie that would make fans happy along with horror f...

For this episode, I discuss my Summer Vacation which included landing in Portland, OR to start, with a trip to numerous spots made famous by Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of the Stephen King classic, The Shining, The Last Blockbuster, and Twin Peaks.

For this episode, I tackled the second season of the Netflix Original Series, Black Summer! This surprising and often different Zombie Apocalypse show is thankfully still entertaining, but how is this compared to the excellent first season? Will this be another second or third season casualty at Netflix? Have a listen as I at least have an answer for the first question!

For this episode, I went digging for what some people consider to be one of the worst movies of all time or worst entry in a film series. While I may not share that opinion, I decided to dive in to why Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has such a bad reputation amongst fans. Should this one be re-watched with a fresh mindset? Is this an actual bad movie or bad entry in the legacy...

For this episode I checked out the Shudder original film, Caveat. A horror film that tells a story of lost memories that is also not exactly a horror film...To say anymore would ruin the movie AND ruin my episode. Have a listen to find out my thoughts on one of Shudder's latest film offerings! #AdamAnalyzes #IOHO #Tampa #Podcast #TampaPodcast #ApplePodcasts #GooglePodcasts #Spotify #Anchor #MovieP...

For this episode I decided to give my thoughts on The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. Notable for being the first main Conjuring film to not have James Wan at the helm. How does the third (and possibly final) entry in the main Conjuring films with a series that spans eight movies (or seven if you ask director Michael Chaves) stack up to the first two entries? Have a listen...you can always say...

The Conjuring series made its return in 2016 with, The Conjuring 2. Just when you thought you could not conjure any more, director James Wan returned with a film that feels similar to the first, while being a different experience overall. We also get the introduction here of the characters, The Nun, who has a spin-off & The Crooked Man, who hopefully does not get a spin-off despite WB original...

For this episode I decided to conjure up my thoughts on the James Wan modern horror classic, The Conjuring. This one is of course the true start of Ed & Lorraine Warren's cinematic conjureverse.

Have a listen and find out!! #AdamAnalyzes #...

Have a listen and find out if this is a game you want to play... #Ada...

For this week's episode, I went to my local Cinemark Theatre to check out the new Zack Snyder film, Army of the Dead. This will of course stream on Netflix soon, but I could simply not pass up the opportunity to check this out a week early on the big screen!! At its core, it is a simple heist film with zombies, there is however a lot more going on! How did I feel about this new Zack Snyder directe...

For this episode, I wanted to talk about the seemingly forgotten first film based on a case of famed paranormal investigators & demonologists, Ed & Lorraine Warren. Of course the more famous film series based on their cases is The Conjuring series. This made for TV first film focusus on the Smurl family and their experience of a house haunted by a succubus.
