The Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline
2021/11/13
What's this? What's this? A new Hold Up! episode? Why yes, it is. Since we're caught in the weird zone between Halloween and Christmas, David and Matthew decided to look back at a movie that captures the best of both worlds: Disney's Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas and another Henry Selick (not Tim Burton) modern-day classic, Coraline. Will these two stop-motion fantasies deserve the respect they are so often lauded or should they be abandoned to the lair of the Oogie Boogie man/ banished to the realm of the Other Mother? Listen now to find out.

WAZZUP! It's spooky season and, after a short hiatus, David and Matthew are back and they're joined by newcomer and horror movie expert Amy to take a stab at all five Scary Movie movies. They'll take a look at the franchise's super high highs (puff cough cough) and extremely low lows (cough all of Scary Movie V cough) and determine if these not-so-scary movies are still funny or if they belong in the dirtpile of movies that was the early 00s.

The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable
2021/09/03
