Happy Holidays to one and all! Amanda recently recorded a "pilot" episode of sorts with Vinegar Syndrome extras producer extraordinaire Ewan Cant, and it's all about slashers. It's called the One by One cast, and for this intro episode, Amanda and Ewan discuss the recent VS release Don't Open Till Christmas, which they also provided a commentary track for. We're hoping to make this spinoff a regular thing (as regular as The Made for TV Mayhem Show is anyway!! But, most importantly we hope you enjoy it, and have a wonderful Christmas holiday as well!

The Made for TV Mayhem Show is B.A.C.K. And just in time for Halloween! On this episode we're talking about two Curtis Harrington classics: The Cat Creature (1973) and Killer Bees (1974). Dan and Nate also throw out some of their favorite scary movie horror moments in tribute of Shudder's new series, 101 Scariest Horror Movie Moments of All Time (which I can be seen on!). Yay. We hope you enjoy this one. We've missed you!

We're back! Join Dan, Nate and Amanda for a discussion about Jeannot Szwarc's two stellar ABC Movie of the Weeks: Night of Terror (1972) and You'll Never See Me Again (1973). And we'll promise not to stay away so long this time. Thanks so much for your patience, and most of all thank you so much for listening! (*and extra thanks to Dan for editing this episode!)

I really, really wanted to get this next Trap-Cast online, since I'm covering the last two episodes that aired in 1979. Seemed fitting. So, for this show, I'm discussing The Surrogate and Who's Little Hero Are You? Enjoy (please!)!

The Made for TV Mayhem Show has returned to celebrate what would have been Charles Bronson's 100th birthday! To help us ring in this - the holiest of holy days - we invited James Newton of Newton Talks (https://jamesedwardnewton.com/) to discuss three of Bronson's lesser talked about small screen appearances: the pilot for Man with a Camera (1958), One Step Beyond's eerie entry The Last Round (1961) and the 1993 cop thriller TV movie Donato and Daughter! We had a lot of fun, although there were technical woes aplenty, so please be patient with any sound issues or choppy edits. We had to record in "chapters" because of several dropouts. But we gave all of our love to Bronson, and we hope you enjoy it!

We're back! Well, we were back a while ago, but it took a long time to edit this because 2021 has shown no mercy. A big shout out to Dan for his help on getting this one edited! On this episode, you'll find Dan and Amanda palling around with Shawnee Smith and Tammy Lauren for this SS / TL twofer, Crime of Innocence (1985) and I Saw What You Did (1988). We're also hoping to get back on schedule and have some shows planned for the very near future. Thank you for your patience, and we hope you enjoy!

We're back with a very special episode! February 6th, 2021 marks the 40th anniversary of This House Possessed, which aired on this day in 1981. It's looking good at 40, and to celebrate, I sat down with Parker Stevenson to discuss the great little horror telefilm that keeps on going. After the interview join Dan, Nate and myself for a discussion of the film. And thank you, Parker Stevenson for being so kind and giving us a little background on This House Possessed. Hope everyone enjoys, and as always, thank you for listening!

It hasn't even been a month, and we are back! We couldn't let the holiday season pass by without inviting our great friend Joanna Wilson of Christmas TV History back for our annual yuletide episode! We spend a little time stuck behind a forcefield with a lovable (but deadly) alien named Glim Gilm, who was a part of the Monsters TV series. And we play the holiday movie game, which is always fun. So grab your eggnog and celebrate the season in style.
And a big thank you to everyone who stuck it out with us this year. I know it hasn't always been consistent, but, like everyone else in the year 2020, we're doing our best. We appreciate all of you, and hope you have a wonderful end to a not-so-wonderful year! See you next year. It's gonna look a lot like the 1970s-1990s for us! -
We are back with a brand new episode, and it turned out to be one of those marathon recordings... Just like the olden days of the show, which is a bit kismet since we're going back to the Old West as we take a look at two surreal and fascinating Horror/Western hybrid TV movies, Black Noon (1971) and Into the Badlands (1991)! We are joined by a very special guest, James Newton, who helps Dan and Amanda dissect Frontier living. (Spoiler: Life was difficult!)
James, a podcaster, filmmaker and writer, is someone worth checking out. Please follow his social media on Twitter at @JamesEdNewton, visit his website (https://jamesedwardnewton.com/) and make sure you give his excellent podcast Newton Talks a listen. You can also watch some of James' amazing films on his YouTube page (might I suggest you start with Grace?). And, you can check out the trailer for Black Lizard Tales, which is currently playing fests, and see his latest short Man/Rabid as well! All links are available via his website, so dive in!
We had so much fun talking with him about these haunting little films, and we hope you enjoy listening. Thank you again! -
Happy Halloween! We're here to help you ring in the spookiest time of year with two supernatural telefilms: Midnight Offerings (1981) and The Sins of Dorian Gray (1983). We're joined by one of our favorite people on the planet, Justin Kerswell of both the website The Hysteria Lives and the companion podcast The Hysteria Continues! We do hope you have a safe and happy (and scary) Halloween!

Welcome to a very special episode of Shades of Love. Amanda interviews Ken Atchity about his wonderful direct to video romance series Shades of Love. Then Amanda and Dan discuss two entries from the series, Echoes in Crimson and The Rose Cafe (both 1987). Ken was a wonderful guest and provides a lot of info about this great series where you will only want to speak of love. We do hope you enjoy!

Welcome to a very special minisode dedicated to Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood. We talk about how QT's amazing film truly comes from the heart and pays a lot of respect to a golden era of television, as he presents TV as its own form of cinema. We hope you enjoy this one!

We're back with a new episode, and we had a great time recording it. We hope you enjoy hanging out with Dan and Amanda and their good friend Gore Blimey of the Trilogy Terror Podcast as we discuss the early 80s mini-series Goliath Awaits!
We will be back very soon to celebrate Shannen Doherty's amazing TV movie career. As you may know, with the world in this kind of flux, it's been hard to concentrate on picking titles, getting everyone together, etc. So, please be patient. I do hope we can use this time to bring you more shows and hopefully a little respite from the uncertainties of our current day to day. Thank you all for every ounce of support. We'll be back soon! -
