EPISODE #411-- We return to the 80's to celebrate a life and to commemorate Black History Month (sorry for the delay) with the pulpy actioner ACTION JACKSON (1988) from Craig R. Baxley. Importantly, though, RIP to the lengend himself, Carl Weat
EPISODE #410-- Cruz, fresh from the sawbones is back and ready to tackle maybe the worst dystopian sports movie the 1970's has to offer. That's right, we take on Norman Jewison's ROLLERBALL (1975). We also handle Amazon's latest season of REAC
EPISODE #409-- Guest star Alexis Simpson returns to talk about Albert Brooks' comedy masterpiece, DEFENDING YOUR LIFE from 1991. It stars Meryl Streep and Rip Torn. It's everything you want in a motion picture. We also talk the IKIRU remake LI

EPISODE #407-- We delve back into the sea of cr*p with Irwin Allen's lifeless disaster movie THE SWARM (1978). It's got Michael Caine yelling about bees. Trust me, the episode is much better than the movie they put out. Yeesh, what a stinker. .
EPISODE #406-- Today we get into the holiday spirit with DEADLY GAMES from 1989 (AKA 3615 code Père Noël, Dial Code Santa Claus, Game Over, and Hide and Freak). It's a weird, ridiculous French horror film that finally made its way onto Shudder.
EPISODE #405-- Stomp along with us as we take on Toho Studio's latest entry in the venerated kaiju series, GODZILLA MINUS ONE (2023). It's a good episode about a great movie. We also talk about two other movies in theaters this week: DREAM SCE
EPISODE #404-- We finally tackle one of the great bad films. We talk about the chemically-fueled disaster that is GYMKATA from 1985. It's terrible! You gotta see it! We also talk about Gilliam's 12 MONKEYS (1996), Ridley Scott's NAPOLEON (2023)
EPISODE #403-- We get back into the world of Powell and Pressburger with the top propaganda pic of 1941: 49th PARALLEL, which stars just about everyone with a British accent at the time. A great little picture about an awful big war. We also ta
EPISODE #402-- We dip back into the world of adult fairy tales with the incredibly French film from Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet: CITY OF LOST CHILDREN, staring Ron Perlman and a whole bunch of weird looking French people. Real red letter d
EPISOD #401-- We return to form with Ishiro Honda's 1968 monster-packed masterpiece, DESTROY ALL MONSTERS. If you love Godzilla-- or Ultraman or Kamen Rider or Gamera, for that matter-- then this is the episode for you. It's a good one-- nay! A
EPISODE #400-- To commemorate the end of our stupid Spooktagon and to celebrate our 400th episode, we did a real movie: Alfred Hitchcock's PSYCHO (1960). Staring Janet Leigh and Anthony Perkins. Great film. Pretty good episode. Listen to it and
#399-- For this week's installment of the 2023 SPOOKTAGON, we talk the certified Criterion classic, ONIBABA from 1964. A great, little pot-boiler about jealousy, carnage, greed, and, of course, evil old women. A tale as old as time. We also tal
EPISODE #398-- We crawl back into the world of TALES FROM THE CRYPT: DEMON KNIGHT (1995), directed by the indefatigible Ernest Dickerson. We also talk about Michael Curtiz's DOCTOR X (1932) on the Criterion Channel and THE ISLAND OF LOST SOULS
EPISODE #397-- We dive back into the twisted world of schlock king Stuart Gordon with the HP Lovecraft adaptation FROM BEYOND (1986). Good episode. Solid little flick. It's also free on Tubi and Pluto, so hey. What's stopping ya? We also talk a
EPISODE #396-- Just under the wire, we return to talk about the Akira Kurosawa-scripted RUNAWAY TRAIN (1985) staring Eric Roberts and John Voight. It's a good one and currently available on Tubi. A nice change of pace after this long, boiling s
EPISODE #395-- We delve into the classic film noir fairy tale THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER (1955). It's got everything: Metaphor, murder, and Mitchum. What else could a body want from a movie? We also talk about Huston's THE MISFITS (1961), Lumet's
EPISODE #394-- For today's episode, we talk about the influential Spanish-Italian sci-fi horror film PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES (1965) from director Mario Bava. It's a wild movie. You should check it out. We also talk about Park Chan-Wook's OLDBOY
EPISODE #393-- In tribute to the indeftagible Hurricane Billy Friedkin, we do an actual classic film: THE EXORCIST (we've already done CRUISING, SORCERER, and THE FRENCH CONNECTION, so go listen to those). It's a good episode, if a kind of heav
EPISODE #392-- Folks, we got ourselves an old-fashioned five bagger. That's right we have the Howard Hawks' produced THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD from 1951 starring James Arness. . . and others! It's a classic for a reason! We also talk about
EPISODE #391-- After some rather rude technical errors, we are back and we are talking the latest and final installment of the long-running Indiana Jones series. That's right: Today we are rapping about INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY (20
EPISODE #390-- Today we tackle the meta-physical farce (and Mark Kermode favorite), THE NINTH CONFIGURAITON from William Peter Blatty (staring Stacy Keach, Scott Wilson, and Moses Gunn). It's a good one. Good movie, available for free in a ton
EPISODE #389-- 1995 was a good year for cyberpunk. There was Hackers, Sneakers, Ghost in the Shell, and, of course, JOHNNY MNEMONIC, directed by Robert Longo and staring none-other than John Wick himself, Keanu Reeves. It's a movie that people
EPISODE #388-- We belatedly round out Pride Month with an examination of Bob Fosse's complex musical masterpiece and ode to a bygone era, CABARET (1972, starting Liza Minnelli and Michael York). It's a great movie and a great episode. We also t
