Episode 61 - Casper

Get ready for a ghostly good time as The Men Who Watch Movies take on the 1995 classic Casper! Alec and DJ revisit this spooky family favorite, breaking down the story, cast, behind-the-scenes trivia, and all the nostalgic charm that made it a ’90s staple.

Episode 60 - Dracula: Dead and Loving It!

In our first spooky episode of the Halloween season, we’re sinking our teeth into Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995)! Directed by comedy legend Mel Brooks and starring Leslie Nielsen, Amy Yasbeck, Steven Weber, Peter MacNicol, and Lysette Anthony, this horror parody brings classic Dracula vibes with a hilarious twist. Join DJ and Alec as they break down every eerie, goofy, and blood-sucking scene — from the over-the-top gothic atmosphere to the slapstick gags that make this Mel Brooks gem a cult classic. We’ll talk about behind-the-scenes stories, reception, and of course, our favorite moments. Then, we’ll wrap it all up with a vampire-themed rating system and Alec’s reflective Final Thought on what the movie says about laughter, fear, and embracing the absurd. 🩸 So grab your garlic, pour yourself a goblet of something red, and join us for a fang-tastic time with Dracula: Dead and Loving It!
