Our minisodes are usually reserved for new release movies seen on the big screen.  This time it’s different as we do our first retrospective minisode, just in time for Halloween!  Richard watches a 1988 ghost story as a way of easing Greg into the Halloween Movie tradition — a gentle entry point due to its noticeable lack of beheadings or general blood soaked mayhem (and the fact that Greg’s seen it before).  But what does Richard, the horror film aficionado, make of it?Lady in White (1988)  https://tinyurl.com/fmfw-minisode-11

It's Richard's birthday!  To celebrate, he and Greg take a popcorn-filled trip into childhood nostalgia to see the new Looney Tunes movie.  This film has been stuck in Tax Write-off Hell for the last three years – but now it's out.  This raises a couple of questions: "Was it worth the wait?" and "Is it an OK way to celebrate Richard?"  We'll be the judge, preferably with that cute cartoon hammer used by Judge Tottogrosso in the film.Coyote vs Acme (2026)  https://tinyurl.com/fmfw-minisode-10

In yet another franchise revival, Liam Neeson steps into the clown shoes of LeslieNielsen. Can it be just a coincidence that the two actors have the same initials? This isjust one of the many issues that Richard and Greg fail to discuss in their review – alongwith the missed opportunity of Leonard Nimoy starring in “The Naked Phaser”…The Naked Gun (2025)   https://tinyurl.com/fmfw-minisode-08
