Cleo and I talk about Sleepaway Camp (1983) and The Blues Brothers (1980), and a few other movies we've watched. But mostly The Blues Brothers.

Weirding Way Media honcho Chris Stachiw is back again, this time we chat about Bob Balaban's pitch-black-cannibal-comedy Parents (1989). The film stars Randy Quaid (Nick Laemle) and Mary Beth Hurt (Lily Laemle) as the parents of Brian Madorsky (Michael) who may or may not be force-feeding him human flesh. Balaban uses the backdrop of Mid-Century Americana to weave a nightmarish tale of childhood dependency.

Fellow Weirding Way Media podcasters Chris Stachiw and Mike White are back on the show to discuss Foul Play (1978). Written and directed by Colin Higgins (Harold and Maude, 9 to 5) the film stars Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase in their first box office smash! Hawn plays Gloria Mundy who becomes embroiled in a Hitchcokian conspiracy plot to assassinate the Pope. Chase stars as Lt. Tony Carlson who is tasked with trying to protect her and track down the band of assassins: Whitey Jackson, Scarface, The Turk, and Rupert Stiltskin aka The Dwarf. The film also stars Dudley Moore, Burgess Meredith, and Brian Dennehy.

"It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent's fritters."
And you really don't want to know what kind of critters they are! This is a strange film for me to be doing a WDIRT episode on, but hey, I like strange things. Plus, it just kept popping into my head over the last few months and I felt like I needed to watch it and exorcize it out of my brain. That lead me to think it would make a slightly odd episode of the show since I don't particularly care for the film. So grab some smoked meats and give it a listen! -
Back to the MM/YY episodes with movie watching/recs plus news and notes.

SPOILER ALERT: Both of these films are spoiled in this discussion.
Mr. Kulturecast, Chris Stachiw, is back and we're talking about not one but TWO recent horror movies! First up is Samuel Bodin's Cobweb, starring Lizzy Caplan and Woody Norman. And then we talk about the not dissimilar The Boogeyman by Rob Savage. The Boogeyman is based on an early Stephen King short story and features Chris Messina and Sophie Thatcher. Check out our discussion on two other Night Shift adaptations here. -
Chris has kindly shared a couple of Kulturecast episodes I guested on in 2022 that relate to a new episode we just recorded. Next up is our discussion about two Stephen King adapations based on stories from his Night Shift collection (Children of the Corn and Maximum Overdrive).

Chris has kindly shared a couple of Kulturecast episodes I guested on in 2022 that relate to a new episode we just recorded. First up is our discussion about the "Cloverfield Trilogy" such as it is.

I'd almost forgotten about the only interview I've done, but since I'm cleaning up old episodes this popped back into my head. This was for Pick Up a Podcast which seems to have stopped producing new episodes back in 2020. This dates back to early 2019 so it might be kind of fun to see how things have or have not changed since then.

Yes, I have done an episode on Black Christmas (1974) before, but when you get a chance to be on The Projection Booth you take it. This was part of a crossover event from back in 2021 when Mike White co-hosted several episodes of WUH on the horror films of Bob Clark and Alan Ormsby. This culminated with TPB's episode on Black Christmas that ended up being just shy of FOUR HOURS LONG. I hadn't been able to import the episode until now, so here it finally is. There are a TON (29!!) of ads in this episode, so head over to my Patreon to listen ad-free if'n you want.

Been making some changes, and updating some old episodes. Find out about that and how many times I've watched The Beatles: Get Back over the last week. :)

Cleo is headed back to school, but we were able to squeeze in one last episode before then. Since last we spoke we've watched a bunch of my modern horror faves, some raunchy comedies, a Coen Bros. classic, Black Mirror, and other bits and bobs. Enjoy and thanks for listening!
The wonderful Green Room poster was designed by Oliver Barrett. -
Cleo is finally back and we've got a hefty round of movie watches and recs. From an undersung Stephen King adaptation to a modern comedy classic to a sun-drenched folk tale we dive into a few faves of the last few months.
-
Wherein I talk about what's been going on since November 2022 and why I've been taking it easy on episodes and movie watching. Plus some movie recs from 2022 and so far in 2023, some interesting movie watching stats, and a few programming alerts. p.s. Megan and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish are both streaming on Peacock, and Flux Gourmet is on Shudder and Hulu (not Tubi). ;)
Check out From the Files of Police Squad.
And the Top Secret episode over on the Projection Booth.
Give some love to Cambridge & Wishon.
And listen to this episode from a year ago for more Poison for the Fairies love. -
The Begley household is all in (well, except for Lady in the Water) when it comes to Mr. M. Knight Shyamalan, so we were excited to watch his latest film, Knock at the Cabin (2023). Friend of the show, Chris Stachiw, who wasn't as excited, joins me to chat about this pre-Apocalyptic film. Based on the book The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay, the film stars Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge, Dave Bautista, Kristen Cui, and Rupert Grint. What happens when four strangers take a family hostage and task them with making an unthinkable sacrifice to save the world? Listen and find out. SPOILER WARNING: Both the film and the book it is based on are spoiled in the episode.

We're knee deep in spoof territory over here at Weirding Way Media so why not keep the trend going? Mike White and Chris Stachiw join me to talk about an old favorite of mine, Murder by Death (1976). Written by Neil Simon and directed by Robert Moore, Murder by Death is a send-up of whodunits with some of our more well-known detectives getting the parody treatment. The film stars James Coco, Peter Falk, Elsa Lanchester, David Niven, Peter Sellers, and Maggie Smith as some suspiciously familiar faces. Eileen Brennan, Truman Capote, Alec Guinness, Richard Narita, Nancy Walker, and Estelle Winwood round out the cast in this murderous farce. Of course we discuss the problematic portrayal of an Asian character by Peter Sellers, so be warned!
