Ep. 22 - The Conversation/Blow Out

Ep. 24 - Midnight/Matinee

The hosts celebrate a most momentous occasion: one year of the show! First, we enter a cold night as an execution is the only thing on the minds of an American home is an execution set to happen….at a certain time of night. Tension is high, Bogart is young, and the film is Midnight from 1934! Next is a jump three years to the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The population of a Florida naval town has a sense of doom, feeling that at any moment…they could all be wiped out by a powerful explosion…but come on! Lawrence Woolsey is in town! And he’s got a new sci-fi thriller that pays homage to the gimmick filled sci fi films of the time with the lovable John Goodman at the helm. It’s of course Joe Dante’s 1993 film, Matinee!

Ep. 23 - Deathtrap/The Player

Today, the hosts find themselves in the deadly world of the entertainment industry and the even more deadly world...of murder! First up, Sidney Bruhl is a Broadway director with little success as of recent, until a former student gives him the perfect script. So good...he may need to kill him for it. Of course there’s always more complexity than that with this spiralling mystery thriller helmed by Sidney Lumet...1982’s Deathtrap! Next up, we travel to the hills of Hollywood where Tim Robbins plays Griffin Mill, a producer who’s rubbed more than his fair share of writers the wrong way. But now, he’s faced with constant threats from one of those writers of murder. Mills goes through a journey of guilt, paranoia, and fear all while being surrounded by the mechanical film industry in Robert Altman’s 1992 film The Player!

Ep. 22 - The Conversation/Blow Out

Today’s episode is dripping in paranoia as the three hosts delve into a double feature of uncovered conspiracies. For the first flick, Harry Caul gets a simple job to record a conversation between two people walking in a crowded square. However, Caul begins to feel worry and guilt over his work in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1974 film “The Conversation”. Next, Jack Terry is a B-movie sound engineer who happens to record the car crash that kills a presidential candidate. It’s only when he saves a girl from the car and the whole situation begins to get silenced that Jack begins his investigation of what really happened. It’s Brian De Palma’s 1981 film, Blow Out!

Ep. 21 - Night of the Living Dead/One Cut of the Dead

The spookiness continues and reaches a climactic high with the hosts delving into the good ol’ movie creature we all know and love....the zombie. First up, we go back to the beginning of the zombie flick with a group of survivors locking down an old farm house in order to defeat the new onslaught of creatures lurking beyond the boarded up windows. It’s the horror classic from Mr. George. R. Romero, 1968’s Night of the Living Dead! For our next picture, we go across the globe to Japan where a film crew has a tumultuous time filming their very own zombie flick in a film that’s best to go in cold. It’s the recent hit and soon to become cult classic, 2017’s One Cut of the Dead!

Ep. 20 - In The Mouth Of Madness/Event Horizon

As the spookiness arises, the hosts delve into the more conceptual and maddening side of horror. Inspired by the likes of Lovecraft and King, the hosts delve into two spiralling journeys with Sam Neill at the helm. First up, the mysterious author Sutter Caneleaves Sam Neill on the hunt for where the author disappeared off too. This descent would eventually destroy his mind and the world around him in John Carpenter’s 1994 film, In The Mouth Of Madness! After that, we head off to a not-too-distant future. Space travel has grown more and more in technology and a distress beacon is heard from a long lost ship. Neill’s Dr. Weir takes the crew of the Lewis & Clark to see what unknown universes have been reached on the titular ship from the 1997 film...Event Horizon!
