Adventures in Movies!

Auditions are closed and the votes have been counted. So who will join Danny and Nathaniel on this week's show? This episode is a little different as the Christmas spirit takes over. The three of us have a discussion about great gifts for horror fans. There is also a review of a movie that was started and completed in 1984 and just released this year. We talk about its history and how well it hold...

We take a break from our hunt for Blake's replacement and welcome Stephanie from Cheer & Loathing to our humble little podcast. Thanksgiving has arrived and we talk about whether the holiday spirit has hit us. We also found a Thanksgiving horror movie to talk about. But before we get to that we talk an exorcism movie from the United Kingdom that may have set the groundwork for something better.  T...

It is a big week as Regina gets a second chance and Ariel and Candance from Not Your Final Girl Podcast. We are right between Halloween and Thanksgiving so we talk about one movie that is made for the spooky month and one that is just all about the holidays. But did they get the job done? We start with a talk about one of the most daring movies of the year. Titane is frightening, poignant, and del...

There is a lot going on in this episode. The hunt to replace Blake continues. Can this week's guest remedy the damaged caused by Pablo's audition last week? We also have a listener request from The Sun City Fright Fest: 2017's 'Terrified' from Argentina. Plus, a look at an inappropriate horror movie from the United Kingdom. Bruce Campbell is an undeniable horror icon. Hallmark Holiday movies have...

After a year of staying as far away from the show as possible, Pablo comes back to talk about two character driven thrillers. We start with a discussion about 2018's Burning from South Korea and close with a talk about this year's The Beta Test . We also talk about another upcoming Stephen King adaptation and have an interview with the Jim Cummings and P.J. McCabe from The Beta Test . There are ju...

***SPOILER WARNING! WE DISCUSS DUNE AND MAJOR PLOT REVELATIONS *** We end the spooky season with what is destined to become a Halloween favorite. This week we talk about 2021's 'Dune'. We have been talking about this movie for years and were all extremely excited to see it. The question is not if we liked the movie, but how much. There is no way any of us would dislike the movie, right? Dune may n...

31 Days of Horror continues with a visit to the nicest traveling Halloween carnival you will ever see. But when you do not follow the right order when killing plus you main annoying person does their job too well, is the movie worth watching? We also talk about the second movie of the year involving dashcams and conspiracies. The Munsters are one of the most beloved sitcom families in television h...

For the first time ever, Adventures in Movies takes their act on the road. Danny and Blake keep the crowd happy at the Sun City Fright Fest while Nathaniel handles things from deep in the heart of Texas. The Sun City Fright Fest provided us an opportunity to talk about some of our favorite things in horror. Stephen King, foreign horror, and found footage are just some of the topics we brought to E...

Before we head out to the Sun City Fright Fest, we had some things to get off our chests. It's the spooky season and we had to talk about the plans we have for the month. This year, we have some choices that go against our previous plans. Plus, we talk about what Stephen King movies to watch in October and notice something about miniseries remakes. It also seemed like the perfect time to talk abou...

This week I am joined by Ariel and Candace from the Not Your Final Girl podcast. We talk about two movies that seem to be nothing alike but still have a lot in common. 'After Blue' is a surreal science fiction western that has a unique look, great soundtrack, and a character named Kate Bush. 'The Sadness' is an homage to Hong Kong Category III movies. It sounds like a zombie movie that is also tak...

We conclude Hispanic Heritage Month with a look at The Funeral Home , a horror movie from Argentina. We also talk about one of the most tense movies of the year. Plus, where does The Lost Boys rate as one of the all time great horror movies? We also debate the importance of Slumber Party Massacre , Verotika , and...Dire Straits? The Lost Boys is one of the most revered vampire films of all time. C...

Hispanic Heritage Month continues with an entry from Mexico that is one of the most messed up films we have ever discussed. Have you ever wanted to see a tense horror movie filled with engaging characters, animals being natural in the most unnatural ways, and alien tentacle sex? Then this is the episode for you! Plus, a horror movie set in the infamous Roosevelt Hotel that is surprising - but not...

The show must go on! Two-thirds of the crew is out, but an old friend drops by to help keep things running. Hispanic Heritage Month begins next week and we decided to start early with a look at 'The Last Matinee' from Uruguay. We also discuss a creature feature from the United Kingdom. Plus, Halloween is around the corner and we discuss some impressive streaming lineups. This year's 61 Days of Hal...

Candyman. Candyman. Candyman. Candyma- You get the point. This week's episode is a Special Edition dedicated to the the new Candyman sequel. There is a lot to unpack in the movie and we cover it all. The original is remains terrifying to this day; how does the new one hold up. What did we think of the kills in the movie? Social commentary has always been a big part of horror and Candyman is no dif...

We finally got it right! When we started Fantasy Horror Month, we figured it would be a breeze. As it turns out, there is plenty of dark fantasy, but it is difficult to find actual fantasy horror. We found one and it is a doozy. The Head Hunter is bloody and gory, but not very violent. It values storytelling payoff over actual action. The cast is comprised of one man, one girl, and lots of severed...

Who would have ever thought how difficult it would be to find fantasy horror? We certainly did not. This week we leave Oz and head back to Camelot. Our focus is one of its most famous characters. We visit some of his lesser known adventures, including the times he fought Medusa and he stopped King Arthur's son from getting intimate with his sister. We review our first true crime documentary. While...

Barbara Crampton is one of the most iconic names in horror. Her latest movie King Knight is a little different. Making its world premiere at the Fantasia Film Festival, the outrageous comedy sees Crampton in a different type of role. The legendary actress drops in to talk her new movie, the acceptance of horror, and her future. August is Fantasy Horror month and we being with a strange and wonderf...

The Green Knight is one of the most anticipated movies of the summer. This was justified for many when the positive early reviews came out. Then, the audiences saw the movie and had their say. This week, we talk about the division between critics and audiences, the imagery of the movie, mainstream versus arthouse, King Arthur, and THAT ending. One thing that everyone has been able to agree on is t...

We have covered some strange, disturbing, and downright awful movies this year. But none have been as confusing as Nemesis . This home invasion/crime thriller/WTF does not seem to know who it is for, has a simultaneously odd and just plain bad ending, and has what may be the weirdest nude scene of all time.   Plus, Summer Horror Month comes to a close with a look at Sea Fever .  The Wheel of Time...

Summer Horror continues with a look at the cult classic Carnival of Souls from 1961 (or possibly 1962). The movie is seen as one of the most innovative horror movies of all time and is responsible for inspiring names like David Lynch and George A. Romero. But not everyone likes it. We also talk about the surprising new horror movie The Nest . The episodes starts with a discussion about Titane's wi...

Special guest Adrian Amador joins us as Summer Horror takes us to Hawaii. It may not be horror (it may not even be summer), but 2009's A Perfect Getaway has strong summertime vibes to go with his A list cast. We also talk about confusing sci-fi drama 'River'. Things start with Dune's two and a half hour runtime. Movies have gotten longer over the years, but is that an excuse? We also talk about th...

Our month of Summer Horror continues with a combination that would seem to live in infamy. What happens with the director of one of the most notorious found footage films teams with the villain of some of the most infamous female revenge movies of all time? And why had none of us ever heard of it? We also talk about a feminist fable that is a good idea in theory, but misses a little in the executi...

The heat is upon us and we have decided to talk about some summer based terror. The Beach House is an interesting horror movie that uses a number of different styles. The fantastically named My Heart Can't Beat Unless You Tell it To breaks some basic rules when writing a story. Did either one work? Plus, we talk The Last Drive-In and a new Fletch movie. Joe Bob Briggs is a horror icon. We share me...

As Blake put it last week, we have been pretty luck here. It was a little hard to come up with the worst movies of the year. It took no time at all to think of the best. This week, we talk about the movies we enjoyed most during the first half of 2021. We also talk about queer horror movie Lyle . Stephen King has had so much of his work adapted that he is bound to have a few bad ones. The original...

It is hard to believe that 2021 is halfway over. During the first six months of the year, we have covered a good amount of movies. Unfortunately, some of them have been pretty bad. We discuss the ones that stood out the most for all the wrong reasons. Plus, Evil Twins Month concludes with Twins of Evil. A few weeks back, we spoke with special guest Regina Chavez about whether any films would flop...
