  • Great Podcast!

    I enjoy pretty much everything Conrad and Dan do on this podcast. Great production and interesting insights! The occasional special guest is a refreshing addition that adds some extra flavor from time to time, especially Melinda from Retroblasting.

  • Obsession review

    Just basing this on the “obsession” review. They put into words why I was disappointed in this film. It wasn’t the film I wanted it to be. Her behavior wasn’t obsessive. It was just creepy. It could have been so much better and smarter.

  • Set this pod free on your ears, you won’t regret it

    Great show, charming, informative, funny, came here following a recommendation from Rob Hill of The Bad Movie Bible, who’s an occasional guest, so glad I did. (Even if the theme song lives rent free in my head now)

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Seconds (with Lexi Amoriello)
Q: Why is Rock Hudson a masterful casting choice for the role of Tony Wilson?
Hudson's public persona as a masculine, glamorous leading man contrasts with the hidden unhappiness of the character, amplifying the film's commentary on façades, identity, and the cost of reinvention.
Seconds (with Lexi Amoriello)
Q: What makes Seconds feel ahead of its time despite being a 1966 film?
Its cinematography, editing rhythm, and a chilling, understated soundscape create a modern, Kafkaesque anxiety about identity and happiness, which resonates with later tech- and corporate-surveillance themes.
Bug Buster (featuring Doug Jones and Derek Maki)
Q: What was it like wearing the Bug suit and performing the big fight scene with Randy Quaid, given the constraints of the budget and the heaviness of the costume?
Doug Jones details the physical challenges, the armor and puppet mechanics, and the choreographed fight that had to be performed in one continuous take with a heavy, head-mounted bug suit.
Don't Look Under the Bed (with Amanda Jane Stern)
Q: Did the film have any impact on children when it was released?
Yes, it received significant complaints from parents for being too scary, which led to its removal from airing on the Disney Channel after a few years.
Don't Look Under the Bed (with Amanda Jane Stern)
Q: What happens in the film Don't Look Under the Bed?
It follows Frances, a 14-year-old girl, who is blamed for strange occurrences in her town, leading her to confront the boogeyman and rely on her imaginary friend Larry.
