  • Big old bowl of laugh

    Started listening to the podcast last year and not stop, even went back to listen to older episodes and listen to how much the podcast has evolved. It’s amazing the laugh I have had listening to movies I grew up with some I have never heard about before. Brings a smile to my face after have a bad day and I have many.

  • Bad podcast that doesn’t rule…

    Any idiot who calls Diane Kruger only “mildly attractive” is just that, an idiot. Garbage podcast and far too long…

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Douglas Tait: Jason, Michael Myers, and the Sasquatch
Q: What was it like working with Robert Englund on Freddy vs. Jason?
Being the last to work with Robert Englund and completing that scene in his Freddy makeup was a standout moment; it underscored how deeply fans care about the original actors and the importance of honoring the legacy while creating new stages for the franchise.
Douglas Tait: Jason, Michael Myers, and the Sasquatch
Q: What's the difference in approaching Jason versus Michael Myers on set?
Michael Myers feels more human and restrained in his movements and you have to stay true to the existing portrayal, whereas Jason is more of a raw, beast-like, superhuman presence that you can push in certain ways while still respecting the original design.
Douglas Tait: Jason, Michael Myers, and the Sasquatch
Q: How did you originally get drawn into creature work and eventually land Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers roles?
I fell into it through performing at Universal Studios where I did monster characters and stunt work, figured out what audiences responded to, and gradually focused on creature performance because that's where the work and audience demand were. It wasn't a single audition; it was a series of opportunities and a choice to pursue stunt-heavy roles with a distinctive look.
Mailbag: Battlefield Earth Ruined My Marriage
Q: What counts as a comedy for your review slate, and how broad should your scope be?
The hosts argue that comedy is broad and may include films with comedic elements or those that blend genres; the core is how the humor lands and the potential discussion around the film, not simply whether it is laugh-out-loud funny.
Gregory Snegoff: From Godan in SHE to Robotech Legend & Real-Life Adventurer
Q: Is there any chance of a live-action Robotech, and what needs to happen for that to occur?
The chances seem slimmer, but there's renewed interest; negotiations depend on finding the right director and a fan who understands what drew fans to the original, with streamers showing openness to purchase if the project is compelling.
