HUGE NEWS! Come and watch our completed animated opening theme song!

Our theme song sample search is finally complete.

A woman framed for murder, a yuppie lawyer with a socialite fiance, and a mountain lion loose in Manhattan cause havoc in a screwball comedy that maybe needed a couple of rewrites, but ultimately is some pretty mindless fun. Episode 213 - Who’s That Girl sites.libsyn.com/398906/episo...

I only listen to one podcast consistently. @maryvsmovies.bsky.social Tell your friends

No episode this week, but I’m editing our next episode on Who’s That Girl, so no worries.

We’re on all kinds of dubious social media platforms: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8UQgoWu/

If you see reposted versions of The Outsiders and The Last Waltz pop up in your feed, that’s because they were blocked on YouTube, so I re-edited them without any music. You can otherwise ignore these versions.

Let’s celebrate Thanksgiving 1970s-style, by watching Martin Scorsese’s concert documentary of the last performance by The Band (or at least the Band with Robbie Robertson still part of it). Episode 212 - The Last Waltz sites.libsyn.com/398906/episo...

Yeah, yeah, I know “how did you never watch/read this?” If you want to hear Dennis call me a snob (even though I like the movie!), this is the episode for you.

It’s 1960s Tulsa, Oklahoma, it’s Greasers versus Soches, it’s poor versus rich, it’s murder and poetry, and it’s a ton of future stars. Episode 211 - The Outsiders sites.libsyn.com/398906/episo...

That’s dedication! 💪 Over 200 episodes for your listening pleasure await.

They ( @maryvsmovies.bsky.social ) thought the pizza looked too thick; I thought it looked burnt. Enjoyable episode; thanks for keeping the archives available!

Students at a prestigious military academy hold an insurrection when told the school will close. Gotta be honest, I never loved my high school that much. Episode 210 - Taps sites.libsyn.com/398906/episo...

Florida seniors discover the fountain of youth—an abandoned pool full of alien cocoons from Atlantis. Naturally, they drain the aliens of their life force in order to save money on Viagra. Hey, sometimes humans are the real monsters. Episode 209 - Cocoon sites.libsyn.com/398906/episo...

Time to take down Halloween decorations folks. After voting, if you’re a Patreon member you can listen to our 28 Years Later Hollywood Avalon episode and decide if it’s a stretch to call it an Arthurian flick. Or listen to our preview and think on being a Patreon member. So many choices.

At first glance, the sequel to the zombie movie 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later is not an obvious pick for a podcast about Arthurian movies. However, ….

This was a ton of fun! Thanks Mary and Dennis for letting me do the show.

We’re tied up with their dayjobs this week, so as a Halloween treat, friend and fellow podcaster Josh Seybert asked his Uncle Morty to step into the breach with a review of Cecelia Condit’s horror musical short Possibly In Michigan Episode 208 - Possibly in Michigan sites.libsyn.com/398906/episo...

We took Reggie down the shore with us.

Seeing WTTJ on here reminds me of a recent @maryvsmovies.bsky.social about Bad Dreams (1987) where they mentioned the filmmakers got G n’ R’s “Sweet Child o’ Mine” for the soundtrack dirt cheap bc the band hadn’t broken out yet. Great ep!

Jonathan Pryce meets sharpie. He terrorizes not-Peter-Billingsly and his ancient father Jason Robards in this weird movie from when Disney didn’t have a clue what it was doing and it was great.

A carnival blows into a sleepy town, promising to fulfill everyone’s desires—but wishes always come with a catch. Episode 207 - Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983) sites.libsyn.com/398906/episo...

Not one but TWO movies discussed on @maryvsmovies.bsky.social

The only survivor of a cult wakes up in a mental institution after fifteen years in a coma, only to be haunted by the ghost of her former leader, urging her to finish the deed. Is this real? Or is she being manipulated by the hospital? Episode 206 - Bad Dreams sites.libsyn.com/398906/episo...

Guested on Mary vs the Movies, as is my only birthday wish year after year (well, and for us to eat lovely vegan takeout beforehand)

1. It was my bday and I got a fancy cake. 2. I was a podcast guest. This is a hint about what we wore. 3. Put up my bed tent. 4. I stickered my new laptop with @maryvsmovies.bsky.social @ericsmithrocks.bsky.social @charliejane.bsky.social @dropout.tv @funkittoys.bsky.social @subpop.bsky.social

Me watching the Phillies. Finally watched House (1977), it was everything I hoped. Wizard of Oz meets Tetsuo The Iron Man. Anyway, watch it, then check out these two manga promos: www.tsundokudiving.com/house-by-wat...

A group of girls headed to an elderly aunt’s haunted house are quickly consummed by the past. This cult classic is one of the strangest films we’ve covered, full of wild video effects and a guy who turns into a pile of bananas. Episode 205 - House / ハウス (1977) sites.libsyn.com/398906/episo...

We've got Dennis from @maryvsmovies.bsky.social on this month's show, and what can I tell you, we had a blast.

The latest Empathy at the Apocalypse episode with our guest Dennis Lingg is up! This ep’s description is INSANE! Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/3iH6... @empathyapocalypse.bsky.social @joshseybert.bsky.social @zizpa.bsky.social @maryvsmovies.bsky.social

The new next door neighbor is a vampire who wants your girlfriend. Naturally, the first thing you do is enlist a local tv host to fight him. It’s a very meta comedy, a Scream before there was Scream. Episode 204 - Fright Night sites.libsyn.com/398906/episo...

A movie about a bitter divorce and custody battle might win best picture, but it doesn’t entirely win us over, no matter how good Meryl Streep’s peformance is. A reactionary film that swept the Oscars? Quelle surprise, Hollywood. Episode 203 - Kramer vs. Kramer sites.libsyn.com/398906/episo...

We also have a new episode of Hollywood Avalon on Patreon! We watched Hellboy 2019–it wasn’t good! Episode 27 - Hellboy sites.libsyn.com/398906/holly...

While you were partying, I studied the glaive...

Imagine a movie that’s a cross between Star Wars, Excalibur, The Princess Bride, Willow, Dune, and Ladyhawke, but with slightly worse special effects than any of them. It shouldn’t work but it’s a lot of fun! Young Liam Neeson and Robbie Coltrane costar as hoodlums!

A young prince, a weapon called the Glaive, and a bandit army rescue a princess from a beast from the stars. Sure, it’s generic 1980s fantasy, but it’s better-looking than most from that era, and who doesn’t want to throw a deadly starfish? Episode 202 - Krull sites.libsyn.com/398906/episo...

We had Dan on a few years ago to talk about Robert Redford’s film The Natural, which brings together a whole bunch of things I love or find interesting: baseball, King Arthur, the Great Depression, and Randy Newman’s film scores:

Did we like it? More than we thought, but not without some reservations. But hey, it has a killer soundtrack, a very sleazy James Spader, and Annie Potts in a beehive wig.

Molly Ringwald is her own fairy godmother, a Cinderella stuck in a love triangle between her best friend and a wealthy classmate, in this teen dramady from John Hughes. Episode 201: Pretty in Pink sites.libsyn.com/398906/episo...

Respectfully, not the point of my post. You can’t keep saying everyone hates it since not everyone does, that’s all.
