Z and Keith Watched A Movie

Directed by Tobe Hooper with pod favorite Brad Dourif in a very rare lead role, this movie offers a lot, delivers on some other things, and answers some questions that were never asked. All and all, worth your time. GAZA IS IN RUINSlifeline4gaza.comgazafunds.orgthe sameer project+++++Outro: The Bobs performing Spontaneous Human Combustion

This week we bring you a monster famous enough for the Misfits to have done a song about, but of which we had only heard the name. Directed by blockbuster creature designer Stan Winston, this small budget folk horror tale does more than we expected.GAZA NEEDS USSameer Projectlifeline4gaza.comgazafunds.org+++++Outro: Ellen Reid w/Crash Test Dummies performing The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead

WELCOME TO HOLLERWEENFrom pod favorite director Stuart Gordon brings us Dolls (1986).Emotionally abusive parents, an 'overactive' imagination, an elderly couple who live in a castle off the beaten path -- all the hallmarks of a tale Jacob and Wilhelm would have put in their 19th C. collection.Plus we give a full retelling of watching someone's former 4th grade teacher learning that a "flu shot" is a vaccine.GAZA IS UNDER SIEGElifeline4gaza.comgazafunds.comSameer Project+++++Outro: Dis Fig performing Doll Parts

This week we bring you a film that maybe more influential that most realize. 1998's Dark City is an ambitious film with many strengths and a few weaknesses. Over all a must watch for the cinema buff.

We are practically bursting at the cranium to bring this week's episode!Is Scanners (1981) about the collusion of the corporate and military sectors? The mainstreaming of MK-ULTRA? The success of counterinsurgent efforts within Western empire after the uprisings of the 60's & 70's? Cronenberg's complicated relationship to the Canadian Film Development Corporation? If so, it's probably by accident since he had to write it as they were shooting.Lefties and Hippies and Yuppies, Oh My!

Local pod maestro and known horse sympathizer, Sven joins us once again, this time to talk this wacky time travel romp. Starring the unlikely leads Kris Kristofferson and Cheryl Ladd, Millennium (1989) makes some questionable choices, but we commend its commitment to them. Plus we reluctantly talk about Star Trek.

Not to be confused with the straight-to-video franchise that began in 1989 (Puppet Master), this film is based on a novel by Robert Heinlein. Starting out as anti-communist cold war propaganda (as Heinlein was want to do), by the time it makes its way to the mid 90's big screen, it's little more than a rehash of the previous 40 years of alien invasion tropes. But it had its moments. DON'T FORGET GAZAhttps://lifeline4gaza.com/gazafunds.comhttps://linktr.ee/thesameerproject+++++Outro: King Diamond performing The Puppet Master

We are pleased to be able to talk to you about this little gem staring our boy "the doc" Martin "M.D." Donovan and John "Papa Slaughter" McKay: THE Hartley alumni. Anachronistic technology, theocracy and Wester gothic literature are all part of this murder mystery. Comparisons to Brazil (1985) are obvious but unfortunate.

This week we are pleased to bring you a film that was a major motivator for starting this here 'cast: Color of Night (1994). A movie that almost killed the director, arguably nearly ruined the career of one of its stars, with a supporting cast way above and beyond any right it has to have, terrific cinematography and a ridiculous premise-- let's just say it has "the sauce". Z knew from a young age that this film would be life-changing...Meanwhile, I won't let you forget about G@za: https://lifeline4gaza.com/gazafunds.comhttps://linktr.ee/thesameerprojecthttps://chuffed.org/project/hope-giving-circle+++++Outro: Darius performing Colourblind

The director of Das Boot brings us this psychosexual thriller which is a bit goofy, tighter than it seems and is only passable because of Bob Hoskins.

TW: Turns out this movie has a character that weaponizes the accusation of sexual assault. And we spend a fair amount of the episode talking about that as a trope.
