PCCCast Halloween Horror Movie Special - Part 2

If you were with us last week, you may remember that we spent the first episode talking about The Exorcist, its impact on pop culture, its impact on us, and the family connection it has with a very different horror film, The Lost Boys. We are picking up from there and in part 2 will discuss another one of the stars of The Lost Boys, his connection to another scary movie, a legendary horror author, directors acknowledging each other’s work, and a slasher team-up that never got made.

PCCCast Halloween Horror Movie Special - Part 1

It's that special time of year! The leaves are changing, the weather is getting cooler, pumpkin spice flavoring has taken over everything, and we desire to be scared. What makes us want to be afraid and seek out horror? Over the next few weeks, we will be talking about horror movies and how they connect to one another. From what some call "the scariest movie of all time" to the reason that some of us hate clowns, we find the links that connect our favorite horror films. In part one, we dive into The Exorcist and The Lost Boys, two very different movies with a family connection as well as our own personal connections to these films. We will return next week for part 2 where we link The Lost Boys to an icon of horror literature, a trilogy of cult classics, and more!

Clue and Naked Lunch

A comedy cult classic "whodunnit" based on a board game and a postmodern, drug-fueled novel by William S. Burroughs, what connects them? In this episode, we break down the 1985 comedy, Clue and the nightmare fuel that is Naked Lunch. Dive in with us as we explore a punk rock performer/actor, a mainstay of American sketch comedy, a brilliant and talented comedian who is no longer with us, and a 70's rock band with a distinct style. We also give a huge "thank you" to the ID10T podcast for their shoutout, promote the incredible George A. Romero Foundation, and circle back to The Godfather's place in our lexicon.

Meat Loaf and The Godfather

One would do anything for love and the other will make you an offer you can't refuse. Two major pop culture events of the 1970s converge as we discuss what links rock artist Meat Loaf and The Godfather films. We also talk about current events in the world of pop culture including new trailers for Stranger Things season 4, The new live-action Netflix Sandman series from Neil Gaiman, and the upcoming Roald Dahl series coming to Netflix. In other news, a TV bounty hunter is still tracking down Brian Laundrie and Alex Jones gets bad news in his trial over calling Sandy Hook a hoax.
