Join Matt and Ben as they dive into the history of Evil Dead II, its strange production history, and its impact on the horror and slipstream genre. Evil Dead II gave way to the comedy horror trope that relied not on satire, but instead its own honest sense of humor contrasted with bloody horror. This style of storytelling would become not only a staple of the franchise but would shape popular culture for years to come. This is The Return of the Movie.

Horror has a complicated relationship with humanity. It is simultaneously a mirror to our thoughts and fears, as well as a genre that can sometimes be shunned and ostracized. Yet one thing is for sure, horror changes as we do. In the 90's it was the slasher craze, in the 00s it was gore p***, in the 2010's it was religious horror. So the question is what will the next big genre be? Will there be another zombie craze? Will Lovecraft come back from the dead? Today we find out on this episode of The Return of the Movie. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Love is a hell of a thing. And so is hate and we hate these tropes. Well not the tropes themselves but the problems that they present when presented as a representation of what love and real relationships are supposed to look like. In truth, romantic stories are some of the most fantastical stories that you will find in any media, and when their target audience is young people, in particular young girls, you can begin to see some horrible standards being set.

We are back with the next half of the season going back to our anime roots to ask the question, "Why is Anime so damn weird?" To put it lightly there are a LOT of reasons, but the main ones boil down to it being made in Japan, and that manga is made on the internet. Ben, Abe, and Jose dive into beloved tropes like the anime scream, and less loved tropes like the "Really 700 Years Old" trope. Join us for this exciting episode of The Return of the Movie.

Meet our sister podcast: The Return of the Show. An aftershow podcast where we discuss current nerdy media, make theories, analyze themes, and ask larger questions about the fandom surrounding it. Its Ring of Power time and Scope is back with the theories and analysis with one catch. Abrham knows nothing about The Lord of the Rings. So join Abe as Ben guides him through the world of Middle Earth and Beyond as they discuss Galadriel, the origin of orcs, Elf Racism, and most importantly why the Meteor Man is definitely Sauron and our poor hobbits are probably going to die.

Why are fandoms toxic? Well that is a million-dollar question, isn't it? We all remember Obiwan and Moses Ingram and just how ugly the fan racism was. Add on the problems with the sequel trilogy with John Boyega and Kelly Marie Tran and it becomes quite obvious that the Star Wars fandom has a racism problem. But the question is why does Star Wars, a series about anti-fascism, invite so many racist fans? And how much of shaping the fandom fall on the creators of the properties? Well to answer that we dive into this episode of The Return of the Movie.This episode features Callie from Urban Force and Melanin Muses!Urban Force Trailer: https://youtu.be/BwreC04I-dAUrban Force Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/urbanforce/urban-force?ref=user_menuSubscribe to the channel and hit the bell to be notified of new videos!youtube.com/scopeproductions~Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scopenetworks/~Twitter: https://twitter.com/Scope_Networks~Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Scopenetworks Hosted on Acast.

In the world of legendary action heroes, two stand out. James Bond and Indiana Jones. But these two pulp heroes have a history, as Bond gave way to Indi, and in some ways, Indi influenced our new Bond. Are they really distinct characters, or are they just carbon copies? And did Bond actually have a bad influence on Indiana? Today we are going to go on another trip through film history, from pulp magazines to drive-in serials. WWII and Coldwar. This is The Return of the Movie.

Critical Role or Stranger Things? There's a lot of debate over who is responsible for the sudden popularity of Dungeons and Dragons since 2015, and both of these properties have their hands all over it. So with Stranger Things season 4 part 2 looming and CR's return to campaign 3, we think it's time to look at the question. But in reality, are these two really solely responsible? Or are there other factors here that made the perfect storm? Let's find out on today's episode of, The Return of the Movie.

So we like Anime, but HATE live-action adaptations. But we do have two burning questions, WHY do we hate them, and do we even need them? Obviously, there are the bad effects and scriptwriting in Attack on Titan, Dragon Ball Evolution, and Full Metal Alchemist. But what makes it so hard to adapt? Why is it that even the most grounded anime like cowboy bebop and Alita Battle Angel still can't appease fans? Today we will answer this question on The Return of the Movie.Subscribe to the channel and hit the bell to be notified of new videos!~Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scopenetworks~Twitter: https://twitter.com/Scope_Networks~Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Scopenetworks~Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/scopeproductions Hosted on Acast.

Can we please have a normal conversation about how bad the academy is? What? Will Smith did what!? I think this might be a distraction from the larger issue here. Yes, the situation there is bad, no we have no intention of dragging either side. But can we talk about the academy? What? Do you even know who won the best picture? Did you know that they cut cinematography? Oh no right, the channel that's dedicated to film has a fan base that practically forgot that the Oscars were happening until we reminded them. Oh, it's Season 2 of the return of the movie by the way.Leave a review and subscribe to our youtube channel!www.youtube.com/scopeproductions Hosted on Acast.
