1996's Scream was a -Phenomenon. A genre busting horror film that redefined the genre and made scary cool. Filmmaker Commentary is Hosted by Reginald Titus Jr Co Hosted by Casey G. Smith

1984's Ghostbusters is a unique blend of comedy, horror, and drama. On a tight budget and schedule this film is classic Americana at its finest.

1987's Evil Dead is profitable and more polished version of 1981's The Evil Dead. Great special FX and camera work. Highly recommended for the filmmakers and FX artists.

1981's The Evil Dead is a classic horror film and a great example on how a couple of filmmaking kids out of college created a franchise that is relevant almost 40 years later.

1994's Natural Born Killers was revelation about media, journalism, and the sensationalism of criminals. A provocative film ahead of its time. Oliver Stones shares his creative input on this commentary.

Yo! 1989's Do the Right Thing is in my opinion one of Spike Lee's best films, if not the best. As a filmmaker you can literally see the artistic growth in his 3rd installment. As a public figure you can also see why he is controversial and polarizing. Check this film out and learn something. Filmmaker Commentary is Hosted by: Reginald Titus Jr and Co-Hosted by: Casey G.
