Episode 20- Maybe I'm Just a Dumb Guy, Dude (Halloween round-up)

We finish up the month of October in a fittingly spooky fashion, with a collection of our favorite horror movies! We've got camp (Gothic, Dracula), comedy (Dale & Tucker vs Evil, Murder Party), commentaries (Candyman, Saw 6 [yeah, seriously]), and good old fashioned brutality & gore (Green Room, Event Horizon), among others!   intro is A.D.D. by Angel Du$t

Episode 19- Rennersance Man

Today on Total Entertainment Forever we're talking about one of the most sharply directed and overall fantastically made zombie films of our times in 28 Days Later! We're also talking a movie that is, uh, decidedly less so, in it's sequel 28 Weeks Later. We open with a little romcom talk to break up all the recent horror discourse and spend maybe a little too much time on Jeremy Renner. What a fuckin' hack though.

Episode 18- Tell Your Friends They're Hacks (feat. Abe Torres)

Today we're joined by a breath of fresh air in the form of friend-of-the-pod Abe! In the spirit of Halloween we're discussing one of the most revered horror films of all time (and continuing a fine tradition of schilling for Jack Nicholson), as we dissect The Shining! We talk about the lengths to which Kubrick would push his actors, the multitude of differences from the source material, and the many different ways you can interpret the film. We also gab a bit about tomatoes and the creative process.

Episode 17- Me & Bobby Z

This week we're talking about a true multi-medium artist who has spent the last couple of decades carving himself a niche aesthetic and fanbase- Rob Zombie. More specifically we discuss his cult hits House of 1000 Corpses and the Devil's Rejects and touch very, very briefly on El Superbeasto.

Episode 16- Hitchhiker's Guide to Auteur Cinema

This week we're talking about a film that perfectly encapsulates the counterculture movement of the sixties- it has copious amounts of weed, characters burnt out on the mainstream, and big fucking sideburns. We're talking Easy Rider, a film responsible for launching one of the greatest eras in American film making. We also touch on the lost art of hitchhiking and continue a fine tradition of singing the praises of Jack Nicholson.
