  • A podcast that embiggens the genre

    Deep enough dives into the movie / simpsons relations, but not too deep to scare off the people who aren’t the biggest dorks. Still waiting for the chicken coop to get painted, however

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bram Stoker's Dracula with Dede Crimmins
Q: What is your history or background with the movie?
I saw it in theater when I was 12 and I find it endlessly rewatchable even though I know it’s flawed.
Bram Stoker's Dracula with Dede Crimmins
Q: How would you sum up the movie in a sentence?
I think this is an unfortunately loyal adaptation of an epistolary novel with bad accents and good costumes.
Twilight Zone: The Movie with Matthew Simpson
Q: How would you sum this movie up in a sentence?
I mean, this is cheating, but I feel like the Twilight Zone is such a cultural institution that I can just say it's the Twilight Zone.
Twilight Zone: The Movie with Matthew Simpson
Q: What's your history with The Simpsons?
I have watched The Simpsons from the start until about season 12 and then sort of aged out of it.
