Actor and comedian Sam Pancake sits down with friends famous and funny to discuss the surreal, silly and nonetheless star-studded made-for-TV movies of the 1970s. It's a loving look at baffling not-quite-feature-length flicks that often aren't on DVD and have largely been lost to time.

  • Great Memories

    As someone, OK, a gay kid growing up in the 70s. I think I’m pretty close to Sam’s age. I have great memories of this time and watching his movies. I remember my mom sending me into the bedroom saying you can’t see this part coming up.😂😂😂 I now find them to rewatch. Still great memories. My favorites are the ones that deal with the supernatural. Thank you for making me laugh monthly and I wish she did this more often

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

MADAME SIN with Brandon Johnston
Q: What stood out most to you in terms of production design?
The discussion highlights the chandelier sequence, the geodesic dome/layer set, and the striking but sometimes awkward use of space and props as memorable, high-gloss production choices that defined the film.
MADAME SIN with Brandon Johnston
Q: Do you think people should watch this movie?
The co-host suggests that viewers should skip around to the standout moments—visuals and Bette Davis's scenes—while acknowledging the film's arguably halting narrative, with caveats about production value and campy charm.
THE GATHERING with Alonso Duralde
Q: Now tell us a little bit about that book and what's up with it now.
He expands on the updated edition of Have Yourself a Movie, Little Christmas, and his recent projects and collaborations, including appearances on related film podcasts and media projects.

Q: Would you recommend this?
