Scary Movie Sleepover

Look out SCARY SLEEPIES (that means you The Brave)! Because as a part of our ongoing series covering movies about magic shoes, we discuss The Red Shoes with Natalie Berg. An accomplished ballerina herself (Clara in The Nutcracker and Goofy Sexless Jester in The Queen and her Beautiful Princesses) Natalie offers personal insights on why seeing a scary clown is in fact always scary. Then Grischa Ljubov (John Torres Chapman) comes by to offer us roles in his Sgt. Pepper ballet, but we do have to wear his special shoes to be in it.   Follow the Scary Movie Sleepover Letterboxd account! Or, send us your thoughts at scarymoviesleepover@gmail.com.

This will likely mostly be remembered as the episode where Tanner absolutely owns Matt in the debate about whether or not living on top of the building next to the Burbank 16 would lead to going to more movies than where Matt currently lives. Oh! also be sure to wind all three of your gears and don't watch anything too competitive because Emma Horn has us watch Return to Oz. I fear that Tanner is getting too invested in these movies lately and it makes him a worse host. Oh also Lana (Nick Tiffany) drops by to tell us how great the LA river is? This one got away from the boys a little bit maybe?   Follow the Scary Movie Sleepover Letterboxd account! Or, send us your thoughts at scarymoviesleepover@gmail.com. Our editor/producer is Brent, innit he cute? We had no notes for this one, hole in one, he did perfect and the podcast was perfect as is.

Get out your soccer balls listeners, but don't tell daddy (he won't let you play and will have the older boy that hangs around your house push you over). Amanda Lifford has us watch Gracie and we all learn a valuable lesson about how commentary tracks are forever and you shouldn't refer to a 15 year old as a "sexy girl" on one. Also Gracie's friend Jena (Ann Maddox) stops by and it's actually fine to be attracted to her because she's like 70 years old even though she doesn't look it!   Follow the Scary Movie Sleepover Letterboxd account!

Ok everyone, turn on any of the lights in your house you want and grab your mom because James Werner has us watch the very spooky Shrek! It's basically a Shrek in the Swamp Karaoke Dance party because we mostly sit around quoting donkey to each other! Sorry about that! It's all fun and swapping manly stories until real man's man Lord Farquaad (Isabella Escalante) shows up and makes us help him set up a Hinge profile. Also Matt wants you to meet him for drinks at Bar Flores, and I bet if things go well, hell get you a burger at lowboy after ;)   Follow the Scary Movie Sleepover Letterboxd account! Or, send us your thoughts at scarymoviesleepover@gmail.com. Our editor/producer is Brent, innit he cute? he labeled the first draft Shek instead of Shrek and I think that's a cute nickname for him! We love our editor Shek!

Honestly this episode is difficult to conceive. Winnie Code has us watch the famously spooky The Princess Bride and we learn about how it's scary and also about the little velvet dress Winnie would wear to Christmas morning. Then the grandson from the movie (Chris Tcholakian) shows up and is honestly very rude to us and to Rob Reiner.   Follow the Scary Movie Sleepover Letterboxd account! Or, send us your thoughts at scarymoviesleepover@gmail.com. Our editor/producer is Brent, innit he cute? he edited out us helping Winnie with the mic and me turning off the AC. Spooooooooooooky!?

Just pretend this one came out right after the last one, it's fine. Austin Williams had us watch The Brave Little Toaster, so we actually need you to not be in your head otherwise you'll get too scared learning about such horrors as: a man who salvages a motor from a broken blender!!! Also blanket (Mike Christian) shows up and honestly I think he was just procrastinating on writing his memoir.   Follow the Scary Movie Sleepover Letterboxd account!

Oh boy, the Brave Boys are at the friend's house where the mom let's us do whatever and she has built a little jail for us and Molly Kiernan (@mollybkiernan). Thank goodness Molly has us watch the disgusting movie The Adventures of Pinocchio. We see an old man bathe with his clothes on! You will learn that a doll CAN love eating cake! Geppetto (Charlie Mihelich (@mihelicopter)) stops by actually looking for Pinocchio (a name derived from pine and occhio). Unfortunately it seems that Gepetto is now based and nobody enjoys that aspect of his personality.   Follow the Scary Movie Sleepover Letterboxd account!

Look out kiddo (kiddo means wife) because Stephanie Burchinow (@stephburch1) has us watch The Grudge. So I of course talk about my wife a lot and her hair and how I burp her. Also The Grudge (Isabella Escalante (@isabellaesc)) shows up I guess looking for Jake Jabbour? Mostly it was following Stephanie from improv practice and really just talks about Diet Coke tallboys.   Follow Tanner on Letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by searching through who Tanner follows.

♫ Oswald, oh Oswald. ♫ Shrek, oh Shrek. ♫ Nick Costanza (@nickcostanza) joins the Brave Boys and guest co-host Erin Smith (@erinonainen) in order to give his hot takes on Batman Returns and to discuss the action movie(s) that snapped him out of being a scaredy... pussy??! Then the ultimate stinker, the Penguin (Tyler Schnupp (@schnupp69)), appears and shows us his dirty onesie and his even dirtier potty mouth.     Follow Tanner on Letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by searching through who Tanner follows.

Rob Zombie (Ivan Ngo (@ngoivanngo)) invites the Brave Boys to his Summer Kickoff! His Dragula is for sale and the digits that make up the gate code can be input in any order, baby! There's too much going on to really describe it. It's a necessary click, though, because it does contain new Chucky lore. It's a big, big party with a hot and spicy guest list, including... Pumpkinhead (Tyler Schnupp (@schnupp69)) Freddy Krueger (Erin Smith (@erinonainen)) Chucky (Mark Jacob Meza (@markbymarkjacob)) Hollywood Harry (Chris Howard (@chrishowabunga)) Rob Werewolf and Rob Vampire (Brent Flyberg (@brentflyberg_) and Travis Watt) The Tooth Fairy (Anja Boltz (@anjaboltz))   Follow Tanner on Letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by searching through who Tanner follows.

I'm sure everyone is absolutely pumped to see who wins Holiday Cheermeister this year in Whoville, but I got my money on one particular green underdog (I wish it were undergrinch and I was the one under him hubba hubba!). Alex Bigelow (@a__biggs) was scared of the Grinch so we watch him. We watch him very closely

Grab your pogo sticks and little pedal cars, babies, because Cara Meyers (@carameyers) scares us all the way to Ireland with Leprechaun! Yikes! Also Tanner brings up whether or not baptism is necessary for salvation for a third time on the podcast (and this time Erin DOESN'T edit it out). Luckily, Cara doesn't try to convince us all to leave and Tanner doesn't kill a mouse, otherwise we may have missed a visit from the Leprechaun (Allyson Phillips (@allyson.grace.phillips)), who teaches us a great deal about magic and being a father.   Follow Tanner on Letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by searching through who Tanner follows.

It's 8pm, you're calling your mom to come pick you up from a sleepover because your friend's parents are making you go to sleep before the clock hits double-digits. On the ride home, your parents talk to you about drugs, alcohol, and tummy piercings... they've just seen the movie Thirteen. You don't listen, you shoplift this episode from the itunes store. If this scenario freaks you out, then watch out because Alan Johnson (@alanjohnson____) exposes us to some graphic content with the movie Thirteen this week. Then, thirteen year-old Evie Zamora (Stephanie Burchinow (@stephburch1)) comes over and makes everyone uncomfortable.   Follow Tanner on Letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by searching through who Tanner follows.

Yeah, Fortnite, we 'bout to get down because Derek Mari (@directorderek) has us watch Signs. It's a real spooker rated PG-13 because of TERROR!!! We also find out the mysterious origins of the Tomato Town song. Then of course we are joined by Bat Handler Patrice Slugger (Kati O'Hearn (@katiohearn)) who scares us half to death by telling us what the movie might have been like without their contributions to the project.   Follow Tanner on Letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by searching through who Tanner follows.

Grab your tiny hat and give it to your friend so they can help you escape your school! Anna Bezahler (@annabezahler) has us watch the horrifying Madeline. I almost typed Matilda, I can't get it through my head which is which. Anyway this is a movie about a bunch of girls who, according to Lord Covington (Isabella Escalante (@isabellaesc)), live in a hotel. Luckily not very much money is lost, so I wasn't scared.   Follow Tanner on Letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by searching through who Tanner follows.

Listen up fooglies, John Chapman (@chappy127) is here to have us watch Spy Kids. So grab the brand new product from Totino's: "pizza," and play this podcast backwards. Also Floop (Meredith Dillon (@meredithdillon)) comes by to talk about his egg.   Follow Tanner on Letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by searching through who Tanner follows.

Hope you like big babies, because we got the biggest one since Honey I Blew Up The Kid! Bō! Sarah Bebb (@just.kissing.improv) has us watch the all time spooker, Spirited Away, and I just know all you piggies will eat it up. While I do like Sarah, I do not love her and I think I'm allowed not to, but do I love Matt Adams? Do we get to the bottom of it? What is the little ball? Will someone who IS NOT THE GUEST interject to give interesting and useful context? Who knows. Also the ghost No-Face (Ann Maddox (@mikiannmaddox)) shows up and wants friends, which I'm fine with because you can be friends with someone even if you don't love them yet.   Follow Tanner on Letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by searching through who Tanner follows.

What's your favorite Scary Movie Sleepover?! Better decide quick before a Weinstein changes the name to Scream Sleepover! Jake Jabbour (@wakeupwithjacob) has us watch Scream, but first he brings us Jiffy Pop (Matt messed it up somehow though so it didn't get as big as in the movie). A little behind the scenes trivia: I'm very tempted to title the episode Scream (1996) because I know it would make Matt mad. But... isn't someone knowing how to make you mad pretty much as good as them knowing how to make you happy? It means they know you and that's love, right? We'll get into more about whether or not I love Matt on the next episode. For now, we need to talk about popcorn, Lillard, and if Tanner's legal pad is normal-large or comically-large. Also if you press your head up against the bathroom stall you may even hear Ghostface himself (May Darmon (@maydarmon)) being strangely affectionate towards one of the hosts of the pod!   Follow Tanner on Letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by searching through who Tanner follows.

Wake up all you tub-sleepers! Our main man Truman Burbank is here thanks to Bri Rodebaugh (@brirodebaugh) who has us watch The Truman Show. Do we think the whole world is watching us? Is there a whole bar themed after us? Is a man in a tub splashing with joy at our actions? We try and figure it out and we almost figure it out over a nice cool Coors Lite (as seen in Scream VI) talking to townsperson Jason Venice (John-Michael Sedor (@2names1man))   Follow Tanner on Letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by searching through who Tanner follows.

Welcome to Primetime, listener! Lehr Beidelschies (@lehrbeidelschies) absolutely spooks out the Brave Boys by having us watch the spooker A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors! So don't fall asleep, otherwise you'll piss yourself (if you are able to piss yourself... let us know, we're conducting a census like the famous census from Women Talking). Unfortunately, Matt dozes and Freddy Krueger (Erin Smith (@erinonainen)) shows up and is honestly pretty rude and hates James Wan?   Follow Tanner on Letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by searching through who Tanner follows.
