Midnight Movie Gumbo Podcast

When the S-Town podcast aired it was downloaded millions of times in just a few days. It follows the story of John B Macklemore , a reclusive antique clock restorer who lived in the small town of Woodstock Alabama. He contacted the host of This American life podcast Brian Reid about a potential coverup of a supposed murder in his town. All which turned out to be false but someone would end up dyin...

We’ve returned from the dead like Ben Hawkins touched us to talk about the riveting HBO drama Carnivale, created by Daniel Knauff. In this episode, we ramble about the many complex and interweaving character arcs, how history plays a major role in its theme, and its tragic and abrupt end that left us all with more questions than answers. Have you seen Carnivale? Leave us a comment! Be sure to subs...

Join us as we celebrate Cobra Kai since the show is now a wrap. Many of us grew up watching the Karate Kid franchise, but little did we know what was to come over 30 years later. We admit we weren’t too sure how this show could possibly work but we were wrong. Six seasons and not one bad episode (which is rare), but what ride it was. Be sure to follow us on all of our socials, and listen on Apple...

We are a married couple who cannot fall asleep without a TV on , and this is what happens when a film can wake you up from a dead sleep. I awoke to what appeared to be a home movie released around the year 2000 straight from VHS hell. The film is called Blackwood Evil and for a good while , I thought I imagined the whole thing. Join us as we try to figure out what this movie is supposed to be abou...

We rewatched a few films recently, and couldn’t help but bring them up in this episode. Our ADHD driven podcast tends to go many places at once , and being sick while recording not to mention equipment failure can be quite annoying. So why not bring up a few characters that did such an outstanding job at being annoying to watch. These are not bad performances , but very effective at pissing us off...

We’re getting steamy tonight folks, and having a blast with this topic. The 1970s brought us the detective XXX features of John Holmes , and the beauty of Linda Lovelace in Deep Throat. Through the years the adult films would add their spin to several Hollywood Cl-Ass-ics , and go on to show us that nothing is sacred from a XXX remake. Finally…..adult features that we can watch from beginning to e...

Just a story of your all American, dysfunctional family. Swinger parents, doomsday prep paw paw, a punk rock teenager, and a kid with a knack for modern warfare take on a threat unlike anything anyone on Earth has witnessed. A space cat, apparently. This campy 80s science fiction comedy, directed by Ted Nicolaou, is everything 1980s and has some great examples of the golden age of practical effect...

We were so pumped to talk about Brian de Palma’s 1974 legendary film Phantom of the Paradise. This movie inspired countless artists in years to come. From its phenomonal soundtrack to its classic tale of the price and rights of art and the artist, Phantom leaves you on the edge of your seat. (Although this movie could be called God Hates Winslow Leach). This film is a chaotic unraveling of the wor...

A strange virus infects the world’s teenage girls and one girl, doomed to die and reanimate into a bloodthirsty ghoul, finds friendship in her last days. It’s full of iconic characters, nods to classic zombie movies, and...

Special guest Melanie Mann, LCSW (Congratulations homie!) joins us on a deep discussion of queerness and horror.
