Adventures in Movies!

Tony Todd is a legend in horror. Most know him from the iconic Candyman, but there is so much more to him. Though he mainly worked in genre, he managed to find mainstream success. From popular horror franchises to much loved science fiction, Todd left behind an impressive body of work. Rod Serling is a fantastic writer and possibly the greatest host of all time. His legacy looms over much of moder...

What do Edgar Wright, Glen Powell, Stephen King, and Arnold Schwarzenegger have in common? A remake, of course! And this one sounds pretty good. We also talk about Mila Jovovich’s next zombie movie. It is not another Resident Evil movie, but is the end of a looooong running franchise. Strange Darling received rave reviews upon it’s release. While it didn’t make the same box office impression of so...

We usually start the show off with the latest genre news. It may be time to just start calling our opening segment, “What remake is next?” This week it is all about the Wayans brothers returning to the Scary Movie franchise. Plus, their importance to comedy and the Super Bowl. We also discuss the potential American Psycho remake and who we would like to see in it. In a Violent Way is unlike any sl...

It has been years since the new Blade movie was announced to much fanfare. Since then there have been rumors and turmoil. With the latest news that the movie has been removed from its release date of next year, now is the time to ask; is Blade cursed? VHS tapes were a huge part of our young lives. They shaped what movies we would watch for the rest of our lives. Advancements in technology have mad...

We had a long talk about the Terrfier franchise and Art the Clown last week. Based on the surprising box office receipts from this past weekend, it would seem we are in the minority. When did that ever change our opinions? Plus, everybody dies. And that’s fucked up. Has there ever been an internet challenge that isn’t stupid? Ghost Game offers up possibly the dumbest one yet. Those who do the chal...

Christmas is the second scariest holiday of the year. From scary decorations to Christmas horror movies, there are a lot of things for horror fans to look forward to during the Yuletide season. It makes complete sense that Spirit Halloween would have a Spirit Christmas store. Though it is disappointing that they do not seem to be going a more horror-centric direction with it. We know what we are i...

When was the last great take on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein? We try to figure that out as we discuss the upcoming Netflix release from Guillermo del Toro. It probably has a lot more going for it than the Anaconda remake starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black. John Candy is an absolute legend. He was funny, charming, and a great actor. We leapt at the chance to cover one of his earliest roles. Not only...

We really didn’t care about the upcoming I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot. It just seemed like another tired reboot of what was already a ripoff. In other words, we weren't really interested. How did its latest casting announcement bring some credibility? How long ago was the Blade movie announced? How many writer and director changes has it gone through? What are the chances that it begins...

It has been an odd year for horror at the box office. While the big name movies have done little to move the needle, indie horror is doing record breaking business. There is one notable exception that has not made this a complete shutout for horror in theaters. And it is not one of the many theatrical re-releases that have come out this year. Voice of Shadows gets off to a confusing start. It has...

James Earl Jones will forever have a place in film history based on his voice alone. From Darth Vader to CNN commercials, he is known the world over. But there is much more to him. Our memories include Conan, baseball, and Mystery Science Theater. The Goonies is one of the most important movies of the 1980s. It is the perfect movie filled with adventure, humor, and a satisfying ending. There was n...

For all the talk of video games on our humble little podcast, we have never talked about Minecraft. And for one really good reason. Neither of us have ever played it. So the news of a new movie was a complete shock to us. The latest casting news from the new Masters of the Universe movie also caught us off-guard, though we were much more impressed. Broken Bird recently made its world premiere at t...

Years ago, we excitedly discussed the upcoming remake of Salem’s Lot. It was unclear whether it was going to hit theaters or go straight to streaming, but we could not wait. The release date came and went but the movie never came out. Supposedly, it comes out this October. Do we still care? The Running Man seems to have gotten lost in the plethora of 1980s action movies. Starring Arnold Schwarzene...

Few kids in the 1990s would have believed that Trent Reznor would go on to become an Oscar winning film composer. For some of us, it is even more surprising that Nine Inch Nails will be providing the soundtrack for the next Tron movie. We also talk about a recent casting announcement for Soulm8te. Where to even begin when talking about Caligula? The stories behind the constantly changing screenpla...

David Lynch is one of our favorite directors. We talk about his recent announcements and look back on some of his films. The Babadook was one of the first horror movies to garner huge internet buzz. It was a “You gotta see this!” that had everyone talking. For its ten year anniversary it will be rereleased in theaters. Will it leave the same impression? We continue our look at sex and horror with...

Bioshock is one of the greatest games of all time. It is not just a one off either as it has two impressive sequels. The stories tackle individuality, class, race, and a myriad of themes in a world filled with 1950s art deco and futuristic technology. They are the definition of “must play” video games. How we overlooked that an adaption is coming to Netflix is beyond us. But we did see the news th...

Before we get to Fantasia we talk about the rumored Spawn movie. There have been reports about this film for literally decades. Is there any reason to be excited this time around? Plus, a remake that has taken surprisingly long to see the light of day. And sharks, folk horror, and more sharks! We love exploitation films. We have also been known to enter the world of arthouse cinema on our humble l...

SPOILER ALERT!!!!! THIS SPECIAL EDTION INCLUDES DISCUSSION ABOUT SPECIFIC PLOT POINTS IN LONGLEGS We have talked about the marketing of the film for months. Using old school viral marketing and trailers that never showed Nicolas Cage, Longlegs was a creepy throwback that worked. The movie opened in the top five and became Cage’s biggest opening in decades. Should other movies go this route? The un...

Horror has plenty of well-known franchises, but there are not many cinematic universes. Except for one very popular one. The Conjuring universe is probably not going away anytime soon, but the final movie in the series has been announced. We also talk about a franchise that was popular when we were younger, went away for a few years, then came back stronger than ever. The Inheritance sounds cut an...

When we discussed an Emmanuelle movie earlier this year, we had no idea there was another one coming. And this one with a top flight notch cast. We also discuss Inside Out 2 crossing the $1 billion dollar mark at the box office and what it says about how we look at flops today. Though it probably will not make as much money, we are still excited about the upcoming Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and its u...

It is not often that we discuss Hallmark movies. But when it involves the Kansas City Chiefs, how can we avoid it? We also talk about the trailer for the upcoming remake of Nosferatu by Robert Eggers and a M3GAN spinoff with a really neat premise. We also discuss the importance of an AI girlfriend. Whenever we review a movie for our humble little podcast we inevitably ask ourselves, “Who is this m...

Since Jordan Peele’s next movie is not scheduled to release until 2026, there is not much to talk about. It does lead into a conversation about new ideas in Hollywood, however. We also talk about the awesome marketing behind Longlegs. Sometimes, there is too much importance placed on being wholly original. We get so caught up in seeing something completely different that we forget that bringing a...

Has there ever been a more appropriately titled movie than 28 Years Later? We talk about the latest casting news for a sequel that seems like it has been decades in the making. It is the 35th anniversary of HBO’s Tales From the Crypt. Now’s the perfect time to rewatch your favorite episodes. All you need is to do is dust off those old DVDs… Tribeca has always offered some of the best horror movies...

We were not the only ones who loved Late Night With the Devil. It has set box office records for all independent film and has been critically praised. We talk about what its immediate future holds. Plus, David Lynch made his big announcement and we called it. (Spoiler alert: it's not the second GTA VI trailer.) You can pinpoint the exact moment What Keeps You Alive peaks. Everything up to the mome...

David Lynch recently made an announcement, and in typical Lynchian fashion, nothing is as simple as it seems. One thing is for certain: it will be a treat for our eyes and ears. We also talk about one of the strangest musicals we have ever heard of. If you like anime and giant naked men, this may be the news you have been waiting for. When you are going to review a Roger Corman movie, it is hard t...

It is almost impossible to quantify what Roger Corman has done for horror. He pretty much invented B horror, launched the careers of some of the most talented directors of all time, and is behind some of the most iconic genre films of all time. His influence can be seen in the video box art that older fans pine about and in podcasts like our own. He is a true icon. Typecasting is an interesting pa...
