A batch of new films including Resurrection (2022), Confess, Fletch (starring Jon Hamm!), Triangle of Sadness, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, and the mystery movie Regal Cinemas decided to subject its audiences to on November 7th (and it sure was a surprise!)

On October 29 2022, I went to the Coolidge Corner Theater Halloween Horror Marathon in Brookline, MA. All the films were vampire themed and on 35mm film. Joining the pod on location: special guest Steve! Lastly, Psycho III - is it any good?

Its still October which means more horror! Plus a couple non-horror films - Weekend at Bernie’s, Beatriz at Dinner, Leprechaun, Smile (2022), Popcorn, and Psycho II

I’m on vacation, but that won’t stop me from reviewing three different movies from the Halloween movie series - Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, Halloween Ends, and Halloween: Resurrection! Plus The Woman King, Hellraiser (2022), and more. I apologize for any rooster crows in the background.

Its October, which means time to watch some Horror movies! But first, Andrew Dominik’s Blonde, which unfortunately fits right in alongside Dario Argento’s Inferno, Dead and Buried, and others…

All the movies I’ve rewatched from July to early October! I may have seen Top Gun: Maverick a couple times…

One of the most talked about movies from 2022 is here! Olivia Wilde’s Don’t Worry Darling, followed by the Regal Cinemas Monday Mystery movie screening (which was not what I assumed it would be!), and the new IFC release God’s Country (2022) starring Thandiwe Newton.

Warning: this is a long, rambling recap featuring films seen at the Telluride By the Sea Film Festival (Tar, Bardo, Women Talking, The Wonder, and Tori And Lokita) - as well as some random older films, plus new releases Three Thousand Years of Longing and Barbarian (at the very end of the episode, spoiler warning!) Did I mention its a long episode?

Grab a slice of pie and listen to this commentary track for the 2013 film Labor Day, starring Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin. Directed by Jason Reitman. Discussed film is rated PG-13.

An odd mix of horror and dated cinema. The Final Destination and Murder a la Mod to start, followed by Cher and Christina Aguilera in 2010’s Burlesque, then Idris Elba vs. a Lion in the new film Beast.

Gonna get wacky and weird on this episode! Studio Ghibli’s The Cat Returns, the new survival film Fall (2022), a childrens film directed by Bob Hoskins called Rainbow (1996), and the prequel to Orphan (2009) called Orphan: First Kill!

Four 2022 releases and some older films! Prey, DC League of Super-Pets, Hansel and Gretel (1987), Irma Vep (1996), Emily the Criminal, and Bodies Bodies Bodies

I saw Nope (spoiler-y!) Plus Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Big Trouble in Little China, and Shiva Baby.

4,900 films watched so far! Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris, Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, and Minions:The Rise of Gru. All rated PG, all discussed for your ears! Plus, a quick mention about the Nightmare On Elm St. marathon at the Coolidge Corner Theater in Brookline, MA (not PG films, of course!)

Folks, I had covid! Loads of movies watched in isolation, as well as all the films I managed to see once I recovered. Thor: Love and Thunder, The Black Phone, The Phantom of the Open, and more! My voice is still recovering, so I may not sound my best.

Episode 20 - Horror special featuring Diabolique (1955), Diabolique (1996), Prince of Darkness, The Entity, The Uninvited (1944), and The Happiness of the Katakuris.

The second 2022 recap episode. Everything I rewatched between Feb 28th and June 26th, featuring Wall-E, Mac and Me, Scream 3, and The Northman. Were these films as good as the last time I watched them? Listen and you’ll find out.

Six New Releases! In order: Downton Abbey: A New Era, Lightyear, Cha Cha Real Smooth, Good Luck To You Leo Grande, Spiderhead, and Elvis. Whew! Its a long one. Correct: Elvis has scenes in Memphis, not Nashville
