Send us Fan Mail Happy New Year, and happy belated Hanukkah, this year we close out our holiday festivities with the "Hanukkah basketball movie" that Disney Channel made, and  really wanted to portray as a modernized version of the story of Hanukkah, in spite of it also being based on the life of Lamont Carr.

Send us Fan Mail Harold? They're lesbians. What better time than the holiday season for us to get another wish, this time another wild card wish from Ellie, and what other wish could Ellie have given us but the 2015 queer cinema Christmas classic, Carol , the sole film adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's novel (though not for lack of trying by 1950s Hollywood). Join them with Sam and Beth...

Send us Fan Mail As moviegoing audiences defy gravity with Wicked: Part One , we at In Each Retelling must explore how we got the beloved musical that's sweeping the nation...including going back to the novel written by Gregory Maguire in the 90s that our hostess has... complicated feelings about that faer going to need her friends Adele and Amy to help faer unpack.  The following podcast is...

Send us Fan Mail The yellow brick road is looking a little worse for wear in this entry of Oz Month, where Jas must finally tackle the infamous flop that traumatized even the hardy Gen X kids, Return to Oz ...but is it really as awful as its reputation, or is this a hidden gem of whimsigoth goodness that deserves more love?

Send us Fan Mail Dracula Weekly finally returns (ironically after a Monster Month length hiatus, oops), and all is not right in both the novel AND among our intrepid heroines, as someone has replaced a member of our group, and another someone intends to steal that someone's copy of  Dracula Daily ! Which is at least more cheerful than Mina losing her will to live, and a rather dull road trip...

Send us Fan Mail We wrap up Monster Month 2: The Dead are Rising with our Halloween Monster Mash episode (shhhh it's still technically Spooky Weekend, let us have this), and what else COULD we pick for that in strike free times but 2004's  Van Helsing , which much like  The Mummy (2017) is a much maligned attempt to reboot the Universal Monsters...but is it good actually?...probably not....

Send us Fan Mail Monster Month continues with Sam Marchiony's birthday wish for us to discuss the 1989 adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera , starring Robert Englund, and unfairly considered to be an attempt to make a Nightmare on Elm Street style Phantom , which is likely why it didn't get the credit it deserves.

Send us Fan Mail Time for the most dead risingest entry in Monster Month 2: The Dead Are Rising, with the now 20 year old comedy classic, Shaun of the Dead , a deconstruction/parody of zombie films in general, and therefore borrows a lot from Night of the Living Dead.
