Scream 3: I have words. They'll be said eventually. Scream 4: Disappointing but far from the worst horror movie of the last ten years. Double, Double, Toil and Trouble: It's a Made-For-TV Olsen Twins movie from the 90s with Cloris Leachman devouring the scenery. It's weird. Chopping Mall: 80s Horror Movie about horny teenagers getting locked in a mall with killer robots. It's such a B-Movie that you can't help but love it. The Lost Boys: The fact that this film is still talked about in Queer Film circles kinda says it all. A decent vampire movie. The WNUF Halloween Special: Retro throwback horror film I've seen multiple times and always find interesting.

I'm still surprised it took me this long to put out a podcast episode about Scream. Glad to have had Skyler there to help me out.

Loved this!

No word yet on whether this is going to be an episode of Teen Titans Go!, a theatrical movie, or straight to DVD.

Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Meyers: It's not bad but damn if it doesn't suck to be Jamie. Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Meyers: Yeah, part 5 is a good place for the series to jump the rail. Like, I know the man in black goes somewhere I hate where it goes so, no, doesn't redeem this at all. Merlin's Shop of Mystic Wonders: Not the best episode of MST3k but still one of the most memorable. Coraline: I love Claymation. Psycho: Still a classic for a reason.

I always loved how absurd the premise was: An exotic dancer goes in for a breast job, complications happen so they freeze her until she gets woken up by the human resistance in the future. Absolutely crazy and awesome. Plus, it was arguably Gina Torres's breakout role. That said, I was always a bigger fan of Jack of All Trades, the show it aired next to. Bruce Campbell in post-revolutionary war spy antics.

I feel like this is going to be something fandom complains about but the company is never going to remedy. They will always promote the part-time big namers and creative's pets over the guys who work every week and put in the hours. Let's take Finn Balor for example. The audience loves him, the company uses him for their anti-bullying campaign, and he's even brought in people that might not watch wrestling like an LGBT audience. Now, let's look at some of his track record this year: The guy is #2 at the Royal Rumble, lasts nearly an hour, and is taken out by John Cena. He works his butt off to get into Elimination Chamber only to be beat by Braun Strohman. Loses at Wrestlemania to Seth Rollins (who, to be fair, also beat The MIz. It'll never not suck to be The Miz.). Then, at Money in the Bank, loses again to Braun Strohman. Then he has a feud with Baron Corbin which, sure he wins matches against but then he's also getting a bit of the wrong kind of push coming out of it. Now, let's look at The Undertaker. Guy is way past his prime. Most of his matches lack any energy (as seen by his ten minute trip to the wring at Smackdown 1000) and are over before they even begin. He also only competes with or against the people the company is trying to put over or other part-timers/retired wrestlers. I mean, he's freaking feuding with DX. This isn't the Attitude Era anymore for Christ's sake! The problem is that Creative is headed by HHH so his friends are always going to get the extra promotion, himself included. So, the little guy is going to inevitably come off big at first until getting trampled by whoever the company is determined to make you love instead/the guy you loved ten years ago who must be on so many painkillers just to come out to the ring again. Eventually, they get tired and either retire or leave the company for someone else who might know how to use them.

Halloween 3: Season of the Witch: It's almost a shame that this has the Halloween name because it's always going to be unfairly hated because it doesn't have Michael Meyers. It works so well on it's own. Scream 2: I say a bit about it in a future episode of the show but damn good. The Craft: I'm up and down on this movie. One year, I don't care about it. Another year, I love it. It all depends on my mood I guess. It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World: It's a three hour long comedy. It works. Suspiria: I felt like watching all of Dario Argento's Three Mothers since I hadn't seen any of them. Its great. Moody, atmospheric, and gory at the right times. Definitely the best of the three. Inferno: I'm torn here. It's great to look at and has some weird scenes BUT the plot never seems to happen. The music is also all over the place with moments I love and moments that are iffy at best. Mother of Tears: Came out 15 plus years after the previous movie and it shows. It lacks the interesting visuals of the original and goes in favor of shock and torture porn. It definitely feels like it decided to do too much with too little. Films: 73 Repeats: 5 MST3k/Rifftrax Assisted: 2 Made For TV: 2 Documentaries: 1 Straight to DVD: 5

Building on that, maybe The Year of the Franchise where each of your actors comes from one of Cinemas big Franchises. Suggestions with some actors: Winter of Bond (Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, Naomie Harris), Spring of the Rings (Hugo Weaving, Liv Tyler, Elijah Wood) Summer of Potter (Helena Bonham Carter, Daniel Radcliffe, Alan Rickman), Fall of Star Wars (Alec Guiness, Natalie Portman, Harrison Ford). Other potential franchises could be Avengers, The Fast and the Furious (Michelle Rodriguez month, anyone?), X-Men, or even Batman or Transformers.

Yep. From some of the reports I'm reading, it might be closer to a reboot than a sequel which is probably a good thing.

James Gunn is writing, possibly directing Suicide Squad 2.

A Star is Born: Absolutely phenomenal. Everyone knows I was going to gush about Gaga so yeah, she deserves every award she gets from the film. Bradley Cooper's performance is just as nuanced and his direction excels throughout the film. No, this is just so very good. I cried at the end. Halloween: This year's Horror series I'm checking out for October is the Halloween series. The first film in the series is a great start with some solid horror moments. Halloween 2: Setting the second film in a hospital makes for a nice difference from the original. You get more of Michael being an invincible monster which does feel some tinges of boredom in there but there's still some decent horror going on.

It's roughly the equivalent of the Brad Pitt role from Ocean's 11. That all said, The Gift, I'm Not There, and either Carol or Cinderella.

Scream: Watched it twice for an upcoming review. Films: 63 Repeats: 5 MST3k/Rifftrax Assisted: 2 Made For TV: 2 Documentaries: 1 Straight to DVD: 5

This on the other hand, I'm almost excited for. Almost.

Return of Mothra 1, 2, and 3: Boring day and Comet was marathoning it so sure, what the hell. Semi-decent kaiju movies so yeah. Films: 63 Repeats: 3 MST3k/Rifftrax Assisted: 2 Made For TV: 2 Documentaries: 1 Straight to DVD: 5

Ehh, the fifth movie establishes that Bumblebee fought Nazis in WW2 and keeping straight the continuity of these things requires more time than I think anyone should put effort into. At this point, I might check this out but I will probably just wait to watch it with a beer so I can heckle it in peace.

The release date has been pushed back to June 7th which is interesting since it might be out after the Disney/Fox merger is finalized.

I like that they're going all out there with the crazy space stuff for this one. If this is going to be the last hurrah before the inevitable reboot, might as well go crazy.

Daphne and Velma: This was much better than I expected. It's a movie about Daphne and Velma from Scooby Doo as high school students. The rest of the Scooby Gang isn't even mentioned and it mostly works. Like, I was expecting it to be as goranworthy as the other live-action Scooby Doo movies but the use of call-backs and mythology gags work and I love that it is a film that is about friendship between two girls. There are some other nice touches (three male characters are in a very transparent closet, there are a couple of good fake-outs in the mystery, most of the adult actors are good). Teen Titans: The Judas Contract: I'm kinda conflicted. It's more of the DC Animated Cinematic Universe stuff but this i the first time in forever I haven't hated Damien in one of these. My Little Pony: The Movie: Background noise while I was playing Overwatch. It could have been worse. In Search of Dr Seuss: TV movie from the 90s where Kathy Najimy plays a journalist learning about Dr. Seuss from a variety of cameos playing characters from/inspired by his stories. Highlight is Robin Williams reading The Cat in the Hat to a couple of girls including his daughter. Justice League Dark: Background noise while I was playing Overwatch. It could have been worse.

I will say that's not fair. Maniac may be his most recent thing but both Jane Eyre and Beasts of No Nations were very well directed films. Also, he did some great work on the first season of True Detective.

In the more recent comics, Captain Marvel has a cat named Chewie so assuming that's the reference.

...huh.

Don't feel bad, Mike. I posted it all the way back on page 2 with nearly the same movies (I suggested The Canyon for the third movie though the made for tv Liz & Dick is also an interesting choice.)
