We're opening the vault again, which we've started using as a means to feature stuff other than what we normally do on the show. This time, we're doing video games! Again. Nintendo video games! Again. It's the Nintendo 64, in all it's janky and dated glory. This is part 1 of an eventual trilogy of episodes on the console, to be completed at some point in the future! Next week's movie: Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008) You can join the conversation Wednesdays at 7pm EST! Available in podcast form on all your favorite podcatchers!

Happy 200th to us! To celebrate, we invited some friends to a cabin in the woods to talk about some movies, most of which take place at a cabin in the woods. We didn't necessarily plan on doing two Sam Raimi trilogies in a row for our milestone eps, but what can I say? The guy makes good movies. We also screen our own Evil Dead-inspired movie, The Ungrateful Dead and do a sort of live VJ style commentary. If you're listening to this as podcast, this one might be better to watch the video with, but here's the link to The Ungrateful Dead on Youtube if you want to check it out on your own: https://youtu.be/tP1h3qdTDQ4?si=lXb1iSZEbntL6tWL Next movie: Took a break after this whopper of an ep and decided to pull from the Duds vault for the next episode, where we're talking about the Nintendo 64!

Odds and Ends: We talk about Rob Reiner and other filmmakers we lost recently; T.J. saw a new Wes Anderson movie, and he liked it?! Okay, calm down, it's not that exciting Feature Film: Proving Tarantino wrong, we talk about the great Matthew Lillard and SLC Punk!, a cult indie about some culty indies, or something. That kind of works. T.J. also watched the sequel and is here to tell you to not make the same mistake he did. Next week's movie: The Evil Dead trilogy, plus our own movie The Ungrateful Dead, for our 200th episode extravaganza! You can join the conversation Wednesdays at 7pm EST!

Odds and Ends: We celebrate our very small listening audience while going over our Spotify wrapped for the show. If you're reading this, dear audience, we luv u. Feature Film: To close out another year, we take all the good will from the original Black Christmas and throw it in the garbage as we cover the two remakes. Both bad for very different reasons, but which is worse? Is one dudlier than the other? Well, just check out the episode, stop asking me. Next week's movie: SLC Punk!

Odds and Ends: Christmas wishes and new year's resolutions; Nick talks about the newest Lanthimos picture, Bugonia; we talk about some unsung Brian Yuzna classics, shoutout the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, and try to understand Ben Shapiro's high-IQ review of One Battle After Another Feature Film: From the director of A Christmas Story and Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2, Black Christmas! One of the earliest examples of what would become the slasher genre, we fawn over the brilliance of this movie, and how it works as a cozy winter Christmas movie at the same time as being a terrifying horror movie.

Odds and Ends: The new Coke ad has us down yet another AI rabbit hole, but T.J.'s cat just wants to play catch with dad; we discuss the new Frankenstein adaptation by Guillermo del Toro, and ask why there aren't any hot lady monsters. Feature Film: For a cheeky lil Thanksgiving movie, we talk about Dances with Wolves, the best picture-winning movie that revitalized the western genre. It's quite a beefy movie, with quite a beefy conversation by a couple of beefy guys. Next week's movie: Black Christmas (1974) You can join the conversation Wednesdays at 7pm EST!

Odds and Ends: We do a bit of a deep dive into a Zack Snyder fan song, and talk about Snyder v. Gunn: Dawn of Incels. Feature Film: We check back in with Stanley and talk about his romantic comedy, Dr. Strangelove. It's about a lot of idiots, discussed by some idiots. It's also anti-war, did you know he made anti-war movies? Far out, man. Next week's movie: Dances with Wolves (1990) You can join the conversation Wednesdays at 7pm EST!

Odds and Ends: Avoiding the horror of social interaction at high school reunions Feature Film: We're closing out our month of horror with the odd anti-Dungeons and Dragons movie, Mazes and Monsters (get it?). Probably most notable for being featuring the first starring role of one Thomas Jeffrey Hanks, this movie takes a tragic real-life story that had nothing to do with DnD and makes it all about DnD to demonize a friendly game and minimize teenage depression. So it should be a fun time! Next week's movie: Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) You can join the conversation Wednesdays at 7pm EST!

Odds and Ends: Nothing to see here, folks, move along... Feature Film: We're talking about a classic from one of the masters of horror, that being Scream and them being Wes Craven. I feel like this would be the perfect opportunity for me to be super meta in the description here and maybe break the fourth wall and talk to you directly. That's something I never do.

Odds and Ends: The whole gang is here this time, and we're fighting off the horrors of being old by talking about old Facebook trends and how boomers have infected social media. Feature Film: Peyton's pick for the month is the recent Clown in a Cornfield, an incredibly by the books slasher, until it isn't. We relate to the small townness of the movie, as well as the terrible law enforcement. Btw, with this being such a recent movie, or for some reason anyway, I wasn't able to use any clips for this movie, so this a shameful clipless episode!

Odds and Ends: We embrace our oldness and talk about important things like the weather, and that youngster George Harrison's new record All Things Must Pass; T.J. saw the new War of the Worlds that everyone was talking about when this episode was recorded. Good thing we release these right away so that's still relevant when this comes out! Feature Film: Our regular horrorspondent Chris brings in The Fourth Kind, a pseudomockumentary about aliens and the people that wojak for them. T.J. couldn't tell if Chris picked this as a good movie or a bad one. Next week's movie: Clown in a Cornfield (2025) You can join the conversation Wednesdays at 7pm EST!

Odds and Ends: It is TOTALLY spooky season for us, just as it is for you, dear listener. If you believe it in your heart, seasons can be year round! Feature Film: Nick picked our first horror month movie this year, Creepshow! A collaboration between horror icons George Romero and Stephen King and inspired by their shared love of old horror comics, Creepshow is a kind of perfect movie to start the Halloween season with. It's got plenty of ghouls, geeks, and a very toothy gorilla dog ding... that ate one kid already. I was going somewhere else with that description, but then I thought of The Sandlot, and that took over. I could delete that and all of this, but uhh, this is how this is going now.

Odds and Ends: The wish for more very well-timed sequels; T.J talks about the new Naked Gun, starring Lesliam NeelsonFeature Film: We talk about a musical biopic about Johnny Cash.

Odds and Ends: Giving dumb stupid old ads the what fer; we talk about Zach Cregger's newest horror slash comedy slash drama, Weapons. Feature Film: Charlie Kaufman's directorial debut, the very Charlie Kaufmany Synecdoche, New York. I had the thought to write some sort of heady, meta thing here as a sort of comedic parallel to the movie, but I don't feel like it. I've had some long days at work and I should be in bed now, but I'm doing this instead. Hopefully this finishes uploading soon so I can get in a few chapters of Little Winky before bed.

Odds and Ends: T.J. brings up a lawsuit against the new movie Together that he may have some personal ties to... well, almost, he could have maybe sort of had some ties, but he doesn't, but that'd be cool or interesting if he did; inspired by the recent and decent superhero movies, T.J. checked out Thunderbolts (with an asterisk because ooooo!), and thinks it's also decent, but a little less recent. Feature Film: The legendary (to us) Godfrey Ho makes his official Duds debut with his most popular work, Undefeatable! Known as the master of z-grade cinema, Ho brings his regular directing chops of, I dunno, putting people in front of a camera and having them say stuff. He can do that, at least. At least this one is an original and he shot an entire movie this time. Next week's movie: Synecdoche, New York (2008) You can join the conversation Wednesdays at 7pm EST!
