For the month of December, we're reading a script that's about a winter concert… or is it? Two parents confront their child's drama and chorus teacher about his lack of solo in the winter concert and an incident that occurred on last spring's class trip to Cincinnati. Our writer, Donna Hoke, discusses her inspiration for this play, crossword puzzles, and “Finding Neal Patrick Harris.” Thanks for listening!

For our November episode, we're celebrating the Halloween invasion of Thanksgiving by reading a horror short, Under the Stairs by Steven Sallie! Steven has also adapted this into a half hour film.

Did you miss us? For our October episode, we're reading Magic Hour by Ben Sahle, a short screenplay about a woman publicly relapsing after losing several of her loved ones.

We are officially BACK! Well, we never really left, but here is to our full time return to our old/new format. This week, we are reading Scout: Veteran of the Psychic War by Andrej Kukoljac. This one's a doozy (and a ducky): a simple white feathered duck becomes a god, and annihilates all of humanity, leaving two young children as the sole survivors. We talk to Andrej about his inspiration for this story, his prior filmmaking experience, his semi-recent move to Croatia, and graffiti.

This week will sadly be our last episode in this format since our other show is coming back, but we brought you a couple really fun movies to end on! We're talking about Cabin in the Woods and Netflix's Gunpowder Milkshake: a satirical spooky (and sometimes slimy? Maybe? Lauren's writing the description and didn't see this one) film and a somewhat spoofy but certainly spunky action film! You can rent Cabin in the Woods on Apple TV (or a variety of other apps) and watch Gunpowder Milkshake on Netflix.

This week, we watched two films based on legendary beings (cryptids?): Tooth Fairy (2010) and Candyman (2021). The best parts of this episode are that it's really easy to listen to while saying Candyman into a mirror five times AND that we're talking about The Rock for the second week in a row.

This week, we watched a brand new, long in the making film based on a beloved ride and a teen musical movie that not many people have seen (partly because it's glitchy on Hulu). It's Jungle Cruise starring Emily Blunt and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Next Level from the company that produced another Green Light featured film, No Escape Room. You can watch Jungle Cruise in theaters or on Disney+ with premiere access, and you can watch Next Level for free with Amazon Prime or on Hulu (if it lets you get past the first minute).

This week, we went back to our old format! We read the first act of Personal Hell, a pilot about Malchior, a demon under quota for sold souls, and Ted, a content computer programmer who doesn't really feel like selling his. We talk to Nolan about his mockumentary projects, what it means to live in a corporate hell, and Ken Burns.

This week, we watched Disney's Big Hero 6, the animated film that neither of your hosts saw before this week, and DC's The Suicide Squad, a… remake? Sequel? Unclear? But, it's at least a little related to the other Suicide Squad that didn't have maybe as much critical success as the producers would've hoped a few years past.

We hope you aren't missing us too badly in our absence, but if you are just pining for the Green Light, you are in luck! We just released a full 30 minute ramble episode on our Patreon about our double feature viewing of Cruella and Black Widow, and we are giving you a little ten minute taste right here.

This week, we watched two horror movies: the pupster (puppet monster) cult classic Ghoulies and the long-awaited A Quiet Place: Part II. We're talking all about why you should see A Quiet Place: Part II in theaters and what Ghoulies could've done to be, well, better, and compete with its pupster 80s rival, Gremlins.

This week, we watched the 80s cult classic Escape from New York and the brand new Pixar animated feature Luca! One's a gritty sci-fi action movie set in dystopian New York City (with a Missouri essence), and one's a whimsical fantasy film set on the Italian Riviera.

This week, we watched the Mel Brooks classic Young Frankenstein, based on the classic 1931 film Frankenstein and the even more classic novel, and the brand new Oscar-sweeping film Nomadland. A rousing comedy paired with a grounded film based on many true stories. We both fooled each other with our two truths and a lie this week, but the real question is... will we fool you?

This week, we watched the 2020 horror movie Spree and the 2018 horror movie No Escape Room… big week for the genre! But that's not all they have in common- both of these movies were fairly small budget projects, and only one of them really felt like it. Both of these movies also aren't that well-known! While Spree has some decently big stars (and some very famous producers, at least in the hip hop world), it hasn't been all over Twitter as one may expect. It's about a Spree driver (like Uber or Lyft) who starts murdering riders to go viral. Thankfully, most of them are jerks. No Escape Room is pretty self-explanatory. You're not really meant to escape this game. Thanks for listening!

This week, we're the original 1995 Mortal Kombat movie in preparation for the new one AND the HBO docuseries McMillion$. Both are very ‘90s-centric. Mortal Kombat is getting a new film coming out NOW on HBO, and McMillion$ is about the famous McDonald's Monopoly game that is getting a new life after its mob-ridden scandal of the ‘90s and early 2000s.  Writing, acting, and music submissions: tglsubmit@gmail.com Become one of our producers on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/thegreenlight Make a one-time donation on PayPal at tglsubmit@gmail.com!

This month, we chose the iconic 1993 Halloween movie Hocus Pocus for our Patron-only Green LIT episode! We decided to make a "boozy brew" for our drink: a 2-liter bottle of orange soda, about half a bottle of Valeo silver tequila, and Talenti dairy-free mango sorbetto for a creamy garnish. It wasn't too bad, but maybe hold back on the tequila a little more than we did or add some orange juice. This is a preview of our Green LIT episode that is out now on our Patreon for everyone at the Green Candle level and above ($5/month). Enjoy!

This week, we have spooky detours with a spoofy script, “My Life is a Sitcom” by Jeshurun Young!

Jeshurun talks about his playwriting experience, his other work, and his favorite sitcoms! Detours: Vampires vs. The Bronx (Netflix), Happy Halloween, Scooby-Doo! (Amazon), Hubie Halloween (Netflix) Contact Jeshurun Young: jeshurunyoung@gmail.com Check out Jeshurun's YouTube Channel, House of Cringe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGOxEb4RRJ92AVbVqSNBh7w Check your voter registration, sign up to be a poll worker, and get set up to vote by mail: https://votesaveamerica.com/everylastvote/ Writing, acting, and music submissions: tglsubmit@gmail.com Become one of our producers on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/thegreenlight Make a one-time donation on PayPal at tglsubmit@gmail.com!
