🚨 The Stanford Prison Experiment (2015).

In this episode, we discuss the film and how the only lesson learned here was what NOT to do in research!

I give a crash course in study design to show why this science “experiment” should have never happened!

In our episode on 2012, we had a chance to discuss one of our favorite tropes: lead-footed dad-driving that keeps everyone from being killed by whatever is occurring behind them! 😂

Physical media does feel like sci-fi tech now. We’ve streamed for so long that putting a disc into a player feels like you’re using a cool artifact.

Like in old sci-fi movies where a character had to insert a mysterious object into a machine to project an image.

I get why kids are into it!
My boys liked watching Fantastic Mr Fox on Blu Ray and the idea of an actual disc needed to watch something. Decided to start building their own little wing of my collection so they could find some new stuff and revisit classics.

The pile has begun

FlixChatter Review: SENTIMENTAL VALUE (2025) wp.me/pxXPC-lad

A profoundly moving tale about familial trauma & the healing nature of art. #RenateReinsve + #StellanSkarsgård are fantastic. It’s time Stellan get his long-overdue #Oscar nomination!

The way Netflix encourages creators to make movies you don’t actually have to look at will basically lead to some studio executive taking credit for “re-inventing” radio dramas. 😄📻

I give you: a real time reaction of Matthew learning that Netflix wants characters in a film to say what they are doing in case you aren't watching or paying attention.

Clip is from our Frankenstein ep, so make sure to check it out wherever you find podcasts!

In new The Running Man adaptation, someone calls Ben Richards “the angriest person she’s ever met,” but I just didn’t feel that from Glen Powell. Nothing against him, but that’s just not the vibe he gives. Maybe it’s typecasting, but I feel Jon Bernthal would’ve really nailed that character!

I just rewatched this last night! Such a fun film. The perfect matinee movie!
What's a movie you never tire of?

This is one of the films that molded me as a movie fan! We will cover it at some point in the podcast.
King Kong (1976) 🎥
Directed by John Guillermin

A petroleum exploration expedition sets out for an isolated island that is said to be rich in oil.
Upon reaching there, they encounter a giant ape, Kong.

Happy #LetterBoxdFriday! My #LastFourWatched were an interesting mix of films! The Void was on our list for a possible episode but we decided against it. 😬

🌊🌏 2012 (2009) – Roland Emmerich’s Disaster-piece?

In our latest episode, we discuss what might be the ultimate disaster movie! Hear how L.A. sliding into the ocean and supervolcanoes are still no match for John Cusack’s lead-foot dad-driving! 🚗💨💥🌋

🧠 In our episode on Split, we talk about how the film should have kept more focus on Claire & Marcia!

We felt the film was at its most intense when they were fighting to escape. Also, while Casey was a passive survivor, Claire had the energy of a traditional final girl.

I watched Frankenstein.

Loved the production design and score but thought the script was atrocious.

I also can’t overlook that The Creature’s design reminded of this.

In our episode on Split, we discuss the fact that James McAvoy was only the main lead because Joaquin Phoenix, who had starred in two of M. Night Shyamalan’s previous films (Signs and The Village), dropped out right before filming started!

We can only imagine how Joaquin’s version would have been.

This brought back so many memories for me! We would put speakers on the porch of my grandparents’ house and play the album to create a scary mood for Halloween night. 😁
In 1964, Disney put out an album of basically sound effects and short stories narrated by Laura Olsher.

50 years later, in 2014, Phish performed this album for its semi-annual Halloween show, reinterpreting the sound effects into actual songs.
