Discussions Include: Movies getting literal, Stephen King's edgy phase, a director's job is tone control, secret badass Michael Cera, and a SkyDance corporation.

Brad and Beth review Brad's annual movie calendar and highlight favorite new watches.

We conclude our coverage of the Fright Night pairing with the 2011 remake!

Discussions Include: Don't call it Hotlanta, 2011 is what is wrong with us, nothing could save Mr. Woodcock, international treasure Toni Collette, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, and Vegas, baby!

We kick off the 2025 edition of Creepy Cuts with a campy favorite!

All the stars are born (for now) as we conclude our discussion of this batch of remakes! Ethan Fogus joins us to talk about the most recent version.

Discussions Include: Being a pop music stick in the mud in high school, Lady Gaga the icon, Bradley Cooper the director, songwriting in movies being super believable, and this movie is a bummer!

We settle into a bubble bath surrounded by candles and beer cans to take on the first rock and roll iteration of A Star Is Born.

Discussions Include: Barbra is good at singing, Kris Kristofferson the method actor, whether you should touch a ribbon microphone, and the apparent absence of Joan Didion dialogue.

While we couldn't record this episode from inside a trunk in Pocatello, Idaho, we continued our Star Is Born series with a comparative look at the 1954 spectacle directed by George Cukor.

Discussions Include: A movie full of still images, vaudeville as a source of familial mental illness, making the jump to a musical, and this movie's awesome home theater setup.
