A podcast where we explore the movies that followed in the wake of blockbuster hits.
Yakmalaaaa! Join us for GYMKATA (1985), a martial arts movie about a gymnast who plays a deadly game to secure a “Star Wars” earth station for the U.S.A.
It stars Olympic gymnast Kurt Thomas, and is directed by Robert Clouse (Enter the Dragon) from a screenplay by Charles Robert Carner (Blind Fury).
Put down the peace pipe and make a video run with us to the teenage end of the Fatal Attraction series as we discuss:
FEAR (1996) starring Reese Witherspoon as a teen girl who rebels against her family by dating the baddest of boys, played by Mark Wahlberg.
SWIMFAN (2002) starring Jesse Bradford as the guy who gets mixed up with Erika Christensen’s absolute supervillain, Madison Bell (the titular Swimfan).
This episode is a must li...
Jen Howell of the Every Rom Com podcast joins to help us answer the quesion: What if the dangerous stranger who is going to wreck your life…is a kid?
Go grab Mr. Highway and strap in for THE GOOD SON (1993) starring Macaulay Culkin and Elijah Wood, written by Ian McEwan and directed by Joseph Ruben.
We’re under a strict “return to office” mandate as we look at two films where the danger is in the workplace: THE TEMP (1993) starring Timothy Hutton and Lara Flynn Boyle trying to make that cheddar in the world of cookies, and DISCLOSURE (1994) where Michael Douglas and Demi Moore deal with Malaysian supply chain issues.
When dangerous strangers wreak havoc on yuppie couples — the police protect the stranger! How’s a yuppie supposed to guard their investment in decorative glass blocks? This week's episode has the answers as we watch:
PACIFIC HEIGHTS (1990) starring Melanie Griffith, Matthew Modine, and Michael Keaton as the con man who’s one step ahead.
UNLAWFUL ENTRY (1992) starring Kurt Russell, Madeleine Stowe, and Ray Liotta with an electric pe...
This week we have a pair of thrillers about guys who meet a “New Friend from Hell” and pay the consequences.
Explore the dark side with BAD INFLUENCE (1990) from writer David Koepp and director Curtis Hanson, starring James Spader and Rob Lowe.
Then it’s time to get way to close to the creepy new neighbors in CONSENTING ADULTS (1992) starring Kevin Kline, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Kevin Space, and Rebecca Miller.
We’ve flirted with you, gone out to dinner, and talked movies. But now, this podcast demands you face the consequences because it’s time to dive into the wave of “dangerous stranger” psychological thrillers launched by Adrian Lyne’s FATAL ATTRACTION (1987) starring very naughty boy Michael Douglas and the unignorable Glenn Close. We then examine the evidence in Alan J. Pakula’s legal thriller PRESUMED INNOCENT (1990) starring Harri...
This week we look at Spike Lee’s biographical epic masterpiece MALCOLM X (1992) starring Denzel Washington in a film that attracted controversy, much like the man whose life story it told.
We discuss Spike Lee’s breathrough feature film DO THE RIGHT THING (1989) which centers on race relations on a neighborhood block in Brooklyn.
Grab a cup of psychoactive mead and settle in for a Conan the Barbarian Bonus Episode as we look at Robert Eggers’ historical epic, THE NORTHMAN (2022), starring Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, Claes Bang, Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe, and Anya Taylor-Joy. Eggers co-wrote the film with Sjón.
Adam Mallinger (Writer: SUPERMAN & LOIS, MICHAEL F-ING BAY) joins us for a special Friday the 13th Bonus episode looking at slasher film deconstructor/reconstructor BEHIND THE MASK: THE RISE OF LESLIE VERNON (2006) starring Nathan Baesal & Angela Goethals, directed by Scott Glosserman, who also co-wrote with David J. Stieve.
We bid a fond farewell to the Friday slasher trend with two parody films: STUDENT BODIES (1981) are stalked by The Breather in a rare early cycle spoof, then Jackson gets a touch of the melancholy in UNMASKED PART 25 (1988).
What’s a filmmaker to do if they need to make an 80s slasher film but the trend is getting long in the tooth? Add some inappropriate folklore!
A group of campers is stalked by a Viking berserker in the appropriately titled, BERSERKER (1987).
And then a group of young people are mysteriously invited to their old summer camp built on land cursed by a medicine man in TWISTED NIGHTMARE (1988).
It’s time for a European vacation with two films from across the pond that put their unique spin on the American slasher movie trend:
BODY COUNT (1986) from famed Italian director Ruggero Deodato and Spanish slasher EDGE OF THE AXE (1988) directed by José Ramón Larraz.
Summer’s over! It’s time for Fall and Winter slashers to answer the question: Does changing seasons help change up a Friday-style slasher?
SATAN’S BLADE (1984) combines bank robbing, attempted adultery, and boom mics with a local legend, while THE MUTILATOR (1984) mixes tones, tunes, and the craziest game of Blind Man’s Bluff you’ve ever witnessed.
IT’S OUR 100TH EPISODE OF GET ME ANOTHER! While we ourselves are incapable of change, the Friday the 13th franchise is about to kick into overdrive.
We look at the two movies that added the final pieces that cemented Jason Vorhees’s status as a horror icon. FRIDAY THE 13TH PART III (1982) and FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE FINAL CHAPTER (1984).
What do you get when the marketing team wants to sell aliens and inhuman monsters, but you made a wilderness set Friday the 13th riff?
We look at two slasher films with wildly inaccurate ad copy released in 1983, Andrew Davis’s THE FINAL TERROR, featuring a fantastic performance by Joe Pantoliano, and cinematic “bad boyfriend” THE PREY, featuring a cucumber and cream cheese sandwich.
