  • Typical podcasting today

    Sadly this is just another typical podcast that’s produced in today’s world. I’m still waiting to find a movie review podcast that actually gets all of their information right. And is every podcast just filled with left wing nuts and their viewpoints? Just review the movie and leave your personal opinions on real world situations for a political podcast.

  • Sweet

    I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!! It’s the first movie podcast I’ve listened to and I’m hooked. The guys, like myself, have a twisted sense of humor. And Elaine is the icing on the cake. You’d think she’d be the voice of reason...yeah right!!! She’s as twisted as the guys!!!!

Obsession: Inde Navarrette's Performance Will Haunt You | Ft. Jordan Dwayne (Jordan The Grey Witch)
Q: What are your thoughts on the controversy surrounding how the film was made, particularly around pay and profit-sharing for crew?
The panelists acknowledge indie-era realities where contracts often cap pay, but they also discuss how profit-sharing and fair compensation should be clarified early in production; they note the emotional and ethical stakes of indie success versus studio dynamics, with skepticism toward promised gains always being a negotiation.
How Silence of the Lambs Created a New Kind of Monster (With Brian Raftery)
Q: What do you think the staying power of Silence of the Lambs comes from?
The staying power comes from its recognition as one of the first elevated horror films, mainstream acceptance, and the depth of its characters like Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Starling, as well as its cultural significance.
