Is there a doctor in the house?! No, but we've got a nurse and a cinefile present!  Join Aaron and his wifie, Nurse Kendra, as they revive the 1990 Joel Schumacher flick, Flatliners, to discuss its cinematic and medical merit in Viddy Well's latest themed series "Let's Get Medical," a series dedicated to discussing and breaking down the medical side of cinema to see just how much filmmakers really get right. Don't sleep on this one, or else we might mistake you for dead and have to jumpstart you with the ole paddies!

Oh me, oh my, grab your favorite chainsaw and put on your best skin face because the Hitchhiker himself is here to share his experience working on Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre! Even better than seeing on the horror greats on the big screen is having one of the cast in attendance to talk with audience, and Edwin Neal doesn't disappoint. Kick back with some head cheese and enjoy this Q&A captured for listening pleasure!

Brace yourself for another good time because Aaron attended a screening of 2014's Boyhood with a Q&A with writer/director Richard Linklater and cast as that look back on the film (released 12 years prior and shot over a period of 12 years) and its impact. Time flies when you're having fun, and the moments seize you one by one, and boom! here we are. Don't blink or you could miss this good time!

Get ready for a squishy, fleshy, funky, fun, and bloody good happenings because Aaron's taking the Viddy Well campers over to Camp Miasma for a little sex and death!  We'll hear from writer/director Jane Shoenbrun & star Hannah Einbinder as they goof it up with moderator (and co-star) Sarah Sherman about Teenage Sex And Death At Camp Miasma.  This is one film we think people will be losing their heads over, so you better give it a listen for posterity because Little Death always comes back!

Aaron reached back into the Viddey Well vault and pulled out another goodie in honor of the recent release of Super Troopers 3! This one takes us back to 2018 for the release of Super Troopers 2, and alongside the Q&A is an interview Aaron conducted alongside Ben Glasthal (of Movie Reelizations) with the Broken Lizard gang in full troopers gear.  Don't miss out on the fun or we'll put yah in handcuffs!

Freeze, hold it right there! You're cordially invited to a Q&A with the Broken Lizard boys for Super Troopers 3. Wax nostalgic with Aaron on the Super Troopers franchise, and them ham it up with the Broken Lizard bros about the latest installment.

Get ready to disappear into the landscape because Aaron and Rob are discussing Peter Weir's 1975 film, the dreamy and nightmarish and vibey poetic swirl, Picnic At Hanging Rock.   Overflowing with haunting visual poetry and moody atmospherics, both ominous and beautiful. The filme creates a palpable sense of dread and impending doom before examining how unsolved mysteries and the unknowable affects everyone near to it. In short, it's a simple plot effectively executed.  The pair breakdown the film and discuss it's many interpretations and possible influences - including a lengthy comparison to David Lynch's body of work. This is some Four Seasons Of Film fun you won't want to miss out on!

Aaron once again reaches back into the Viddy Well vault for another throwback Q&A. This one is a special one from 2019 when he attended a screening of Office Space at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas for the film's 20th anniversary. It was a memorable evening that was made all the more magical for bringing together Mike Judge, Ron Livingston, Gary Cole, David Herman, and Ajay Naidu with moderator Richard Linklater for a night of laughs, anectocal recollection, and dance moves. Don't miss the memo, this is one office party you won't mind coming in on Saturday for!

Aaron reaches back into the Viddy Well vault for another filmmaker Q&A and pulled out another gem from 2018. This one is for Bo Burnham's directorial debut, Eighth Grade, and it features Burnham alongside his young cast. Believe us when we say, "It's Gucci!"

Oh, f**k yeah! In preparation for 'Merica's 250th birthday, Viddy Well political field correspondent, Anthony Cleveland, joins Aaron to talk about Trey Parker & Matt Stone's "Supermarionation" puppet flick Team America: World Police.  The two look back on America during those post 9-11 years, reminisce about the old Jerry Bruckheimer blockbusters and the 60s puppet program Thunderbirds that informed Parker & Stone's movie, dive into the details of the production, and of course goof off and horse around in between.  No, we're not pulling your string, this is another episode you can't afford to miss!

Aaron reaches back into the Viddy Well vault for another filmmaker Q&A from before the pod was born!  This one features Ari Aster discussing his 2019 film, Midsommar, and is moderated by Alamo Drafthouse founder Tim League. The pair had been hitting the Drafthouse bar a bit hard, and it added to the atmosphere of this unique Q&A. Slightly confrontational, but always entertaining, this is some goodness that only the yew tree can provide. Enjoy!

Aaron digs into the Viddy Well vault for a filmmaker Q&A he attended before the podcast was up and running. This one is for the 2018 film MANDY, a real mind-melter of a midnight movie, directed by Panos Cosmatos and starring Nicolas Cage. Cosmatos and Cage were joined by actor Linus Roache for a Q&A moderated by Kevin Smith. You won't wanna miss out on this throwback special or else the Cheddar Goblin with get yah!

Grab your corset — and maybe even a tissue — and prepare to be charmed because Aaron & Rob discuss Joe Wright's 2005 film, Pride & Prejudice! Based on the book by Jane Austen and bursting at the seams with sexual tension, this adaptation is sumptuously filmed and excellently performed, totally embodying the themes of class, love, and the pride that sometimes gets in the way of the swelling of the heart and the blossoming of romantic feelings.  The two discuss the seasonal aspects of the film, their favorite aspects & seasons, its surprising John Hughes influence, and much much more!

In vino absurditos! Strap in for an outlandish trip to Napa Valley with the one, the only, the Napa Boys, and that take audiences on another comedic journey into wine country.  Framed the movie as the "fourth entry" in a fictional franchise, The Napa Boys takes Alexander Payne's 2004 film Sideways and turns it upside down, adding in notes of Wet Hot American Summer, American Pie, Animal House, Scary Movie, and the films by the Broken Lizard to create an oddly specific comedy concoction that's certainly not going to be for everyone.  The Q&A features director, co-writer & actor Nick Corirossi, co-writer & actor Armen Weitzman & actor Jamar Neighbors. Enjoy!
