Today Griffey and Dandino return to Camp Bloodbath in The Final Girls. They cut open the movies blend of 80's sleepaway camp horror riffs and powerful emotional core, the dynamics of horror fans entering their favorite slasher flick, and if the movie would have been served better by attempting to further deconstruct the genre. This movie is so funny and had an enomrous heart that fills this comedic riff into much more than it's peers. Synopsis: A young woman grieving the loss of her mother, a famous scream queen from the 1980s, finds herself pulled into the world of her mom's most famous movie. Reunited, the women must fight off the film's maniacal killer.

This week, we discuss the Neo-Nazi siege film, "Green Room." We discuss director, Jeremy Saulnier's career up to this point and how it fits into what A24 was doing at the time. We also discuss the making of the film in Portland, and how this all came together. We then dive into the plot of the film and discuss everything we love about this film. Finally, we each pair the film with another for a pair of double bills!

Today Griffey and Dandino hop a jet to a billionaire nightmare in Blink Twice. They cut into the film's weaponization of real world rationalizations often used to defend scumbags, how the movie uses time and repitition to keep the audience entranced just like the ladies, and the epic finale where evil is unmasked and tossed on a short leash. This is a modern Messed Up classic that we hope you enjoy with us. Synopsis: When tech billionaire Slater King meets cocktail waitress Frida at his fundraising gala, he invites her to join him and his friends on a dream vacation on his private island. As strange things start to happen, Frida questions her reality. Starring: Naomi Ackie, Channing Tatum, Alia Shawkat, Christian Slater, Haley Joel Osment, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Geena Davis, Kyle MacLachlan Directed by Zoë Kravitz Youtube: https://youtu.be/vE1KWJOk5Y8 Help us make our first feature length Messed Up Movie: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mr-creamjean-s-hidey-hole-horror-comedy-movie#/ Support the show on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/messedupmoviespod
GREEN ROOM (2015) Director: Jeremy Saulnier Cast: Anton Yelchin, Imogen Poots, Alia Shawkat, Patrick StewartA punk band walks into a Nazi bar. No, that's not the setup for a joke — it's the setup for one of the most suffocating, nerve-shredding thrillers of the last decade. This week on Dewey Pod Monster, Sean and John dig deep into Jeremy Saulnier's 2015 siege film Green Room, where a broke touring punk band witnesses a murder backstage and suddenly finds itself trapped in a standoff with a very organized, very murderous gang of neo-Nazi skinheads. Spoiler: the dogs are not friendly.In this episode, we discuss:Captain Picard's Cold-Blooded Era — Patrick Stewart plays Darcy, the calculating Nazi ringleader, with such chilling charisma that both hosts can't stop talking about it. He's warm, persuasive, and absolutely terrifying — and apparently has been acting since the 1760s, so he's had time to practice.Would a Real Punk Band Actually Do This? — John goes full music nerd and calls out the movie's two biggest logical leaps: why any self-respecting anti-Nazi punk band would knowingly play a neo-Nazi club, and how they survived long enough to open with Nazi Punks Fuck Off without getting murdered on stage. Sean defends the film. John is unconvinced.The Art of Doing More With Less — Shot on a $5 million budget with basically three sets, Green Room delivers a masterclass in compressed, claustrophobic tension. The hosts debate whether it's a horror film, a thriller, or just a really unpleasant Tuesday night — and explore how Saulnier's visual style echoes David Fincher's color palette and controlled camera work.One-Handed Shotgun Detour — The conversation takes a brief detour to John's other watch this week, The Rip (Netflix), starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in a cop drama that almost holds together — right up until Affleck fires a shotgun with one hand out a moving SUV window. John has thoughts.We Also Talked About:Long Shot (1981) (Internet Archive) — A Leif Garrett teen heartthrob vehicle about a high school soccer star who plans to fund his European football dreams by winning a foosball tournament. It is exactly as good as that sounds.Long Gone (1987) (Youtube) — An HBO baseball film set in 1957 following the fictional Tampico Stogies minor league team, starring William Petersen and Dermot Mulroney. A discovered gem to some; "it was fine" to Sean.The Lowdown (2025) (Amazon) — An FX series starring Ethan Hawke as a truth-chasing freelance journalist in Tulsa investigating what may or may not be a murder. Coen Brothers vibes, from the director of Reservation Dogs. Sean's wife kept interrupting him.Disco Lunch by The Boy Detective (Youtube) — A southeastern Michigan ska-horror-punk album that John is furious he didn't listen to sooner. Available on streaming and in vinyl variants at Pinkerton Records.Unlocked (Netflix) — A real-jail social experiment show where prisoners are allowed to semi-govern themselves. John watched Season 2 and found himself unable to sympathize with a single person in it.Blue Ruin (2013) — Saulnier's previous film and the first entry in his loose "revenge trilogy." Essential viewing if Green Room is your entry point.Rebel Ridge (2024) — The unofficial third film in Saulnier's spiritual trilogy. Mentioned as context for why Sean has been tracking this director for years.New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week. We're proud members of the YouRun Podcast Network.

This movie is one big trigger warning. Channing Tatum has his evil twin goatee so you know it's on. I've seen Heathers, so I would never do drugs near Christian Slater.

If I walked into my therapist office and Kyle Maclahlan was my therapist, I'd turn around and leave.Who's responsible for this?Director: Zoe KravitzWriters: Zoe KravitzStars: Naomi Ackie, Channing Tatum, Alia Shawkat, Christian Slater, Haley Joel Osment, Geena Davis, Saul Williams, Kyle MaclachlanWhat should you check out next?Vita - Perfect Blue, 20th Century Boys, Bitch SlapEmmanuel - Promising Young Woman, Our Talons Can Crush GalaxiesAmanda - No Other Choice by Park Chan Wook, Black Arms to Hold You Up by Ben PassmoreEmily - Squad by Maggie Takuda Hall and Lisa SterleBen - Glass Onion, Wake Up Dead ManJeremy - One Battle After Another, Daredevil Season 3, Green Room, Final GIrls, Over My Dead BodyJOIN JEREMY'S ZOOP CAMPAIGN AND HELP MAKE GREAT COMICS! https://zoop.gg/c/slayTake our listener survey: http://bit.ly/progressivelyhorrified-surveySign up to support Progressively Horrified on Patreon for as little as $5 a month and get bonus episodes! https://www.patreon.com/c/progressivelyhorrified Hosted on Acast.

https://daredaniel.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/SINGLE-TAKE_S01_E01_AtropiaMercy.mp3 Single Take with Daniel Barnes Episode 1 Atropia (2026; Dir.: Hailey Gates) GRADE: C+ *Now playing in the San Francisco Bay Area and other select markets. IMDB Synopsis: “Follows an aspiring actress working on a U.S. military base that simulates an Iraqi war zone.” Mercy (2026; Timur Bekmambetov) GRADE: C- *Now playing everywhere. IMDB Synopsis: “In the near future, a detective stands on trial accused of murdering his wife. He has 90 minutes to prove his innocence to the advanced A.I. Judge he once championed, before it determines his fate.” It’s a new year and a new podcast for world-famous film critic Daniel Barnes! Known for his provocative yet family-friendly brand of humor, Daniel brings along his beloved cast of puppet characters, including grumpy old man Walter, the irascible Achmed the Dead Terrorist, and Bubba J, a stereotypical NASCAR enthusiast…oh wait, that’s ventriloquist Jeff Dunham. Daniel Barnes is just a guy who reviews movies. This week, Daniel offers his Single Take on Alia Shawkat in Atropia, an overstuffed yet underdeveloped satire about an ambitious actress role-playing revolutionaries in elaborately staged war games. He also looks at Mercy, a sci-fi whodunit starring Chris Pratt as a cop-on-the-edge trying to find “the real killers” before artificial intelligence seals his fate. Listen along as Daniel begs mercy for January unicorns, CD-ROM murder mysteries and 20-year-old The Daily Show jokes. Read more of Daniel's reviews at Dare Daniel and Rotten Tomatoes, and listen to Daniel on the Dare Daniel & Canon Fodder podcasts.

Ron Howard wrote this is episode description! Thanks Ron!In the pirate studios Geoff, Mike, and Rich sat to discuss their thoughts on the 2003 sitcom Arrested Development. The story of the Bluth Family, Michel, GOB, Lindsey, and Buster, their parents Lucille and George, and their kids George Michael and Maeby. A tale of wealth and loss, trust and mistrust, about land and sea. But don't take my, Ron Howard's, word on it listen to the boys. It'll be fun. So grab some 3d Doritos, some Mountain Dew Livewire and fire up The Pirate Bay. Let's watching some Arrested Development how it was meant to be seen. On a tiny buffering screen. Hugs and Kisses, Ron Howard. The director. Arrested Development stars Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Portia Di Rossi, Jessica Walter, David Cross, Alia Shawkat, Michael Cera, Tony Hale, and Jeffrey Tambor. Hosts:Geoff KerbisMax SingerRich Inman
Alia Shawkat was just 14 when she started on ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT and yet somehow she was a scene-stealer among the likes of Jason Bateman and David Cross. Since then she's charted a path across many a great independent film, a prolific painting career, the beloved series SEARCH PARTY, and now her new film, ATROPIA.

“Christmas is a sexual kink for both of them!” - Chris, on DeVito and Chenoweth's characters On this special holiday episode of WHM, we're chatting about the absolutely unhinged, abhorrent, mid-aughts Christmas comedy, Deck the Halls! Are Danny DeVito and his hot family actually aliens? Why is Broderick's character free-balling outside in his bathrobe? Why doesn't the film conclude with the big winter festival they keep yammering about? Who would've thought we would be missing Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis and their KRANKS characters? And wouldn't comedy legend Charles Grodin have absolutely crushed the straight man role in this movie? PLUS: Is this Broderick's worst movie? DeVito's? Deck the Halls stars Matthew Broderick, Danny DeVito, Kristen Davis, Kristen Chenoweth, Alia Shawkat, Dylan Blue, Kelly Aldridge, Sabrina Aldridge, Jorge Garcia, Gillian Vigman, and Fred Armisen as Gustave; directed by John Whitesell.

Each year, every Halloween, We aim to create at least one film that's both fun and scary, essentially flipping the genre on its head. Let us know if we succeeded with The Final Girls! "The Final Girls," a 2015 American comedy slasher film, was directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson and penned by M.A. Fortin and Joshua John Miller. Starring Taissa Farmiga and Malin Åkerman, the film features Adam DeVine, Thomas Middleditch, Alia Shawkat, Alexander Ludwig, and Nina Dobrev in supporting roles. It centers on a group of high school students who find themselves transported into "Camp Bloodbath," a 1986 slasher movie. Enjoy!!

Send us a text2024 HALLOWEEN SPECIAL!NOTE: Approximately 35 punk rock band names are concealed in these show notes. Play along!It's the end of October, which means the four misfits of TGTPTU are back with a special Birth-/ Halloween/Election Day episode, interrupting their regular Season 13 4x4 programming to bring you a tale fitting this celebratory trifecta: auteur director Jeremy Saulnier's punk-horror-antifascist classic GREEN ROOM (2015). As a low budget, mostly practical, minimally computer effects (dare one say “NoFX”?) horror/suspense movie, Green Room follows a gang of four bouncing souls in the fictional band the Ain't Rights as they tour by van the Pacific Northwest, stealing fuel and perhaps sick of it all when they find themselves less than jake at the end of their bankroll. In desperation, they take on as the replacements a gig at a club full of laces and braces. Unlike the typical band road trip setup where their fan base may begin to lag, wagon might break down, or they become pennywise and pound foolish, the members of the Ain't Rights' world turns upside-down after playing for that crass, bad religion of white supremacy, i.e., those subhumans we call skinheads, when, post-show gathering their gear, the green day of these four adolescents turns rancid upon discovering a murdered young woman in the titular green room. Like World War II's Op Ivy, Ain't Rights' members no doubt scheme and raise a black flag of no surrender to escape the compound, but these youths prove only a minor threat and their plan all fugazi when it encounters the racists' experienced violence. Even when these four self-ascribed “misfits” are helped by a violent femme (played by Imogen Poots, friend the one found murdered), the stooges are outclassed and outsmarted. Soon the joy division occurs, rending the group who has bandmembers played by Anton Yelchin (rest in power), Alia Shawkat, Joe Cole, and Callum Turner come face to face with real murderers and violence, including a skinhead band's strung out lead singer but also a stone-cold bearded Patrick Stewart in charge who has attack dogs sic viciously the youths with a sloppy, realistic violence unlike one sees on the television. The clash is epic as the Ain't Rights soon accept without fear suicidal tendencies to try to get out of the jam. And unlike other movies in the horror genre, these youth of today are lack raging hormones (a.k.a. “ramones”?). Yes, Saulneir's, a.k.a. Jay Dawg's, film lacks onscreen intercourse. But while no sex, pistols and violence galore. And for those sensitive to cussing, little guttermouth language is used. So join us, if not for Halloween, then for Birthday XXI of descendent/offspring Jack and/or Election Day (R.I.P. all the dead Kennedys) for our discussion of this film not part of an AFI list. Also throughout the ep, Ken, Jack, Thomas, and Ryan explore themes of coming of age and of guilt for accepting money/work/recognition in the face fascism, but describing these are harder for yours truly to conceal punk band names here within show notes, except perhaps to say it's one big, repeated love fest for the flick, or, hmm, might one be permitted to say “circle jerks”?THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegoodthepoda1YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!):Ken: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

It's Arthouse Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day! We have a quick mid-week visit with reviews of two extremely different indies (although they are both about hunger and survival, kinda). First we discuss "Drift," from "The Breaking Ice" director Anthony Chen. It stars Cynthia Erivo and Alia Shawkat as two women who strike up an unlikely friendship on a picturesque Greek island. Then we review the truly insane "Hundreds of Beavers," a black-and-white, silent slapstick comedy that's unlike anything we've seen before. We disagree as to whether it works completely, but we both think it's worth seeing. "Hundreds of Beavers" is playing in a roadshow format, so click here to learn more about dates and cities: https://hundredsofbeavers.com/#watch Be sure to check our YouTube channel Wednesday morning, when we'll have a spoiler-free review of "Dune: Part Two." Until then, thanks for sharing some of your time with us!
