Joe and Special Guest Marc discuss the state of movies today. Joe presents 3 topics that he believes are connected. The first topic is a badly written poorly researched article about the original 1954 Godzilla film. How did such a poor article get published? It truly is all about the clicks and has nothing to do with quality. The second is the cash-grab spectacle of Avengers: Doomsday. Is this a desperate attempt to make the MCU relevant again? Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Robert Downey Jr., they just could not say no! The third is the unruly behavior in the screenings of the Minecraft movie. It is not enough to laugh and enjoy a movie in public, now people must destroy property, throw objects through the air, and ruin the theatre-going experience for those who just want to see a movie in a theatre! Not to mention how this absolutely disrespects the people who work in these movie theatres! This behavior will cause people to stay home! This behavior will hurt business for movie theatres! It is amazing how Jared Hess, the director of Minecraft movie, does not see this and endorses this behavior. Check out the Godzilla article for yourself. https://www.cbr.com/godzilla-harsh-realities/Check out Jared Hess' comments for yourself.https://www.indiewire.com/news/general-news/a-minecraft-movie-director-supports-chaos-in-theaters-1235115153/Is Joe nuts? Is this all just a bunch of nothing? Let us know what you think.Music - Chase Pulse Faster - Kevin MacLeod

How does Longlegs compare with films such as Psycho, Seven, and Silence of the Lambs?Plot: In pursuit of a serial killer, an FBI agent uncovers a series of occult clues that she must solve to end his terrifying killing spree.
We make it to Robert Eggers Nosferatu! Starring Bill Skarsgard, Lily-Rose Depp, Willem Dafoe, Ralph Ineson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Nicholas Hoult! This one caused me to rethink Herzog's Nosferatu! Marc joins us from The Toys of a Time Gone By! Brandon and Marc have a disagreement about the ending of the film. This is a good-looking, well-shot film. How does this stack up to the other versions of Nosferatu? How does it stack up to other Dracula and Vampire films? Let the long-awaited discussion commence, and let us know what you think!Plot: A gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror.Taglines: Succumb to the darkness.
Brandon and I are joined by Marc of the Toys of a Time Gone By to discuss the other Nosferatu remake...Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (2023)! This one stars Doug Jones as Orlok. You may remember Jones from Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy, The Shape of Water, and Pan's Labyrinth. Jones also appeared in Star Trek: Discovery, and Hocus Pocus.
Could this be the superior Nosferatu remake? Is it better than Herzog's version or Egger's version? Check them out for yourself and let us know which one you prefer!
Plot: Vampire Count Orlok expresses interest in a new residence and real estate agent Hutter's wife.
Taglines: The Vampire Lives
David Lynch's Dune turns 40 this year. Brandon and I take on the Spice!

Plot: A boy who has a bad Christmas accidentally summons a festive demon to his family home.
Brandon and I discuss our three favorite films of 2023. We also discuss what we think is wrong with Warner Brothers and the state of movie-making today!
Before we tackle Robert Eggers' Nosferatu (2024), Brandon and I take on Werner Herzog's Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979). Klaus Kinski stars as Count Dracula, not Count Orlock in this version. Isabelle Adjani stars as Lucy Harker. Kinski played Renfield opposite Christopher Lee's Dracula in Jess Franco's Count Dracula (1970)!
1979 was a big year for Dracula! There were three films featuring Bram Stoker's Vampire Count...Dracula directed by John Badham starring Frank Langella, Love at First Bite directed by Stan Dragoti starring George Hamilton, and Nosferatu the Vampyre! Join us on our Nosferatu journey and let us know your favorite!
Plot: Count Dracula moves from Transylvania to Wismar, spreading the Black Plague across the land. Only a woman pure of heart can bring an end to his reign of horror.
Taglines: Nosferatu...he who is doomed to wander alone in darkness. Nosferatu...he who is condemned to destroy even those whom he loves. Nosferatu...a tale of seduction in the dark night of the soul.
It is fear and fun. It is a scream of horror and a cry of delight. It is Nosferatu, the Vampyre.
...He who is doomed to wander alone in darkness. ...He who is condemned to destroy even those whom he loves.
Brandon and I take a bite out of the Kit Harrington Werewolf movie, The Beast Within! The Beast Within reunites Harrington with his fellow Game Of Thrones castmate, James Cosmo. You may also remember Cosmo from Mel Gibson's Braveheart, Troy and Highlander! With the new Universal Wofman movie coming in January of 2025, is this a good monster film to hold us over until the time of the release of Wolfman?
Marc from the Toys of a Time Gone by joins us to discuss a few of his favorite werewolf movies!
Plot: After a series of strange events leads her to question her family's isolated life on a fortified compound deep in the English wilds, 10-year-old Willow follows her parents on one of their secret late-night treks to the forest's heart.
Tagline: Protector. Provider. Predator.

In this throwback episode to our blog talk days, Jesse and I discuss the Christopher Nolan film, Interstellar! Interstellar turns 10 years old this year. With a stellar cast of Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway, Ellen Burstyn, John Lithgow, Michael Caine, Casey Affleck, Wes Bentley, and Timothee Chalamet how can you go wrong! Christopher Nolan has directed Dunkirk, Tenet, and Oppenheimer since Interstellar was released. Has he gotten better? Join us as we discuss Interstellar!
Plot: When Earth becomes uninhabitable in the future, a farmer and ex-NASA pilot, Joseph Cooper, is tasked to pilot a spacecraft, along with a team of researchers, to find a new planet for humans.

We present Frankenstein! The 1992 TV Movie version starring Patrick Bergin as Dr. Victor Frankenstein! Yes...the Patrick Bergin from Sleeping With the Enemy starring Julia Roberts! He was also in Patriot Games with Harrison Ford! The Monster in this version of Mary Shelly's novel is played by none other than Randy Quaid! Yep...Randy Quaid who played Cousin Eddie in the National Lampoon Vacation Films! Randy holds his own here as the Monster. He is no Boris Karloff or Christopher Lee, but he does a better job than Robert De Niro! David Wickes wrote and directed this TV movie. Wickes also brought us a Jekyll and Hyde TV movie and a Jack the Ripper mini-series starring Michal Caine! Is this the closet screen version of Shelly's novel? No, but it is better than Kenneth Branagh's version! Join us for Frankenstein the 1992 TV movie version!
