Thinking Outside The Long Box

There have been MANY different Halloween's that have been haunted by the ghost/physical being of Michael Myers. Michael also has one of the highest body counts, when to comes to slasher villains!! So, it makes sense that eventually we would make our rounds to a Halloween movie, and what better time to jump in, than right now, in the middle of a trilogy set of films, in the latest adventures of Mic...

We're going all the way back to 1997 for today's episode!! It's pop culture classic time, and we're going back to a star studded film! This film apparently was such a big deal when it came out, and stirred a lot of controversy in some religious circles! We're not here to judge whether the good or bad press was warranted, only to speak about the movie itself! We are of course talking about the Char...

Season one of Locke and Key came with much excitement and hype, and for the most part, I think that we all thought it lived up to most of those expectations! Here we are at season 2, leaving off pretty much where the first season ended, and trying to find out where the Locke's are now, and what new keys are there out there floating around!"Locke & Key is a 2020 American supernatural horror drama s...

It's that time of the week when we get together and do a LIVE episode!! WHAT!! That's right!

There had been a ton of chatter about this show before we thought it was a good idea to give it a watch! BUT, with very little information to go off of, I also had no idea what the heck to expect while watching the series. I didn't even really know what the crux of the show was, until the back half of the whole series, because the show is powerful at making you believe that other things are going...

It's pop culture classic time ya'll!!! We've got to go to 1996 for today's pop culture classic!! Fifteen years later, there are four sequels out right now, with another sequel hitting theaters in 2022! Not only does Scream have a special place in slasher film history, but it has spawned its own spoof movies, in the Scary Movie franchise!! Though Scream may not have spawned the original slasher fil...

We made a very fun return to what is now referred to as, Fan Expo Denver! We've been with this comic con in Denver, since it's inception, either just as fans, but mostly as press! What started as Denver Comic Con, then Denver Pop Culture Con, has now flourished in Fan Expo Denver! And we attended their "special edition" which occurred over Halloween weekend! While we were there, we were able to sp...

This movie that we're talking about today, seems to be MANY years in the making! Almost thirty years in the making for a decent reboot to be made, but almost fifty five years in the making, for a movie that most fans of the original novel were hoping to be made! Of course, this is only the first of a two part movie, but most fans seem to be pretty excited about this newest adaptation of the Dune s...

It's that time during the week for our LIVE episode!! We start off every LIVE episode with the top three movies/TV shows that sit atop our ranking systems. Based off of what we spoke about in the last three episodes, those rankings may, or may not have changed.

It is VERY hard to take a subject matter that would normally be outside of a specific genre, and turn it into something comedic, that is done very well! Vampires, generally, tend to be something that is stuffed into the horror genre, and doesn't normally break itself out of that genre. BUT, every once in a while, there is something that changes that! That something, for today, is the vampire serie...

When was the last time that you saw Martin Short and Steve Martin in a project together? The last time they were together for a project was for a Netflix special, An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Life! Now, they have a great relationship, and chemistry, and you wouldn't think that adding Selena Gomez to the mix would add to that chemistry, but man, this is a great trio!! We are of c...

Today's topic is fun, because it looks into different scenarios that might have occurred in the MCU, had things taken just one or two steps in a different direction! There was even a comic book series that this originated from, and I think that many people have long waited for this series to come to fruition, in order to take an imaginative look at some of our favorite superheroes! We are of cours...

It's that time of the week again, where we go back in time, in order to talk about a pop culture classic!!

"An ancient Japanese clan called the Arashikage we...

This episode is all about that third process. We talk some about how we chose our models, and mostly about what the process of the day was. Shooting our subjects, the attitude, etc. This project is always o...

For over a decade now, Marvel Studios has brought to you, many different superheroes. Up until this point, for the most part, a lot of these superheroes that live in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, have been pretty well known characters, being helmed by Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America. With the release of Shang Chi and the Legend of The Ten Rings, things are changing! Shang Chi is leading us do...

It's time for The Suicide Squad to do what they do best! Go on missions where most of the team dies, and they get replaced with another B list character!!
