We're back with a mini Fall Outbreak. It has been a while so Travis and Dan made George watch two black and white vampire classics for the spooky season. The episode was darn near two hours long so here is Part 1.  And a word of warning... this one goes to dark places by the end.  Hope you missed us as much as we missed you!

The Alienation of George continues (see what we did there?) with 2022's Nope. A movie best seen rather than described. So make sure you see it prior to listening to this episode. Contained within this episode is a perfect example of the Travis Arc. Yes, George will learn and come to better understand the movie he just watched. But so will Travis. Sometimes, things just fall right into place. Oh and Dan is here too! Here is the Vox article referenced in the episode: https://www.vox.com/culture/23272728/nope-review-explain-spoiler-peele-saucer And here are the tweets referenced in the episode: https://twitter.com/VinnieMancuso1/status/1599852958925017088?s=20 And after the episode, check out the Extra Credit Discussion group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/remedialfilmpod Did you know we are now on YouTube?

Things got a little... alien... in the last episode so they guys continued that momentum with Close Encounters of the Third Kind. And like an episode written by SNL's Weekend Update contribute Stefon, this episode has everything: Aliens, mashed potatoes, the mom from A Christmas Story, the Insane Clown Posse.  Join us to hear George love a movie, stick with us to hear Travis bring back the Arnold impression, and wrap it up with a tease for next week that is as brief as it is compelling.

Twitch personality Mini_Megz is back to show all three guys a new movie we missed along the way: Waiting for Guffman. It is like Spinal Tap but about community theater. In Missouri. And the guys are here for it! And there are aliens. So many aliens. And it only gets weirder from there. Guys... this is probably the funniest (and funnest) episode yet!

George enjoys a good Bill Murray movie, when he recognizes him anyway. And we just showed him National Lampoon's Vacation, which was directed by Stripes co-star Harold Ramis. And John Candy is here. What could go wrong? Will George remember the Anthony Michael Hall cameo? Did Travis enjoy the final act of Stripes more than he did 25 years ago? Did Dan just convince the guys to watch Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia?

After a rousing discussion of interstate... in-transit... copulation...? during the Christine episode it was necessary that George see Parenthood. But instead the guys watched Vacation and no regrets were had. George is familiar with Christmas Vacation, so to see the original in its early 80s R-Rated incarnation was not a very difficult leap. But was he ready for Ellen Griswold and Cousin Eddie in their more... raw form? How many Russ's and Clarks's will Travis tally by the end of the episode? Will George finally recognize friend-of-the-show Anthony Michael Hall from his myriad of appearances? Will Dan manage to make it through a discussion of St Louis Missouri without dropping the cross-state rivalry burns?

Christine. Catherine. Whatever it is called (George still isn't sure) Dan and Travis were happy to follow Carrie with more Stephen King... but this time through the lens of John Carpenter. George loves John Carpenter, so this is a lock. Right? Join us to hear Travis relive his childhood (and George's by proxy). Stick around for Dan's horrifying idea for a reboot of the Christine franchise (Copyright RFCP!)

George knows a thing or two about Carrie, but he was not ready for revelatory experience of watching the movie in full. How could he have prepared himself to gaze into the black mirror so specifically? And there's a bunch of Friday the 13th stuff in here? And some Halloween? Even some Robocop? Awesome. Dead or alive, you're coming with us to discuss the bombastic Stephen King cross Brian DePalma classic that put both squarely into the mainstream box office and consciousness.  And after the episode, check out the Extra Credit Discussion group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/remedialfilmpod Did you know we are now on YouTube?

George is finally ready to Take... A look... at one of the most aesthetically influential movies of the 1980s...  Dan and Travis are ready to show George why this movie led to so many college dorm room posters and gangsta rap references while also inspiring Scott Hall to become Razor Ramon and the developers of the GTA games to accumulate all the money Tony Montana could ever dream of... Oh, and Dan gets giallo nerdy, but just for a minute...

It is Friday the 13th! And what better way to celebrate than with a new scoop on a 43 year old movie and an open invitation for Sean Cunningham to contact the guys? Dan finally watched the 4k version of Friday the 13th and noticed a very curious detail. And we couldn't find this information elsewhere so sit back and enjoy 11 minutes of Friday heaven. And don't worry, Scarface is coming next week as scheduled!

Spoiler Alert: Dan and Travis were laughing so hard by the end of this episode that Dan nearly puked. You had to be there (but you will be there if you listen... so listen?) 2023 continues with one last dose of Burton... the iconic Edward Scissorhands (which Dan has never seen either). Stick around to hear Travis's impression of The Fly and Dan fall down a dag-gum well. Why do we fall, George? To make George see the movies he missed!

We begin Season 4 by tying together many loose ends and giving George a New Year's present: Tim Burton's Beetlejuice. George had better enjoy this movie!
