They're (finally) back! This week Mark and Allen break down the supersized Episode where we are first introduced to the concept of "Tex-Mexting"! (LOL and yuck.) On Leslie's last day as City Councilor, she gives newly-elected councilwoman Ingrid de Forest a tour of Council Chambers and shows her where her seat is. Soon after, she reluctantly packs up her office and says goodbye to her dream job. Ben tells her getting away from the city council is the best thing for her. However, just then, they see on TV a live press conference with "Sexy Dexy" Councilman Dexhart responding to yet another sex scandal. This inspires Leslie to challenge Dexhart for his seat, and she begins preparations for another campaign. Ben points out a number of flaws with her plan ... such as the fact that she doesn't even live in Dexhart's district ... but Leslie isn't fazed and pushes forward with such tasks as talking with Pawnee Journal reporter Shauna Malwae-Tweep, quickly hand crafting her own banner, and setting up her own press conference. Still having reservations, Ben manages to convince Leslie to run her plans by the gang so they can offer feedback. Meanwhile, Tom officially hands over Rent-A-Swag to Dr. Saperstein and receives his money, a portion of which he hands over to his investors (Ron, Donna, April, Jerry). Remembering lawyer Trevor Nelsson's words about how successful people get others to work for them, he decides that instead of HIM coming up with his next idea, he will get others to do it. Tom proceeds to set up an idea pitch meeting with various "entrepreneurs" from Pawnee. Unfortunately, all their ideas suck, so out of desperation, Tom turns to the Parks and Rec gang for new ideas. Finally, Ann and Chris meet with Dr. Saperstein, find out their baby is doing great, and are asked if they want to know the baby's gender. Ann and Chris are both unsure whether or not they want to know, so Dr. Saperstein writes down the results and seals it in an envelope, so they can reveal it to themselves whenever they want. They both talk about which gender they prefer, but eventually come to terms with the fact that either will be perfect. As always, we tackle the tough questions, such as ... What will the gang think about Leslie running again? Will the Parks and Rec gang have any good ideas for Tom? Will Ann and Chris look in the envelope? How does Leslie's press conference go? Is there anyone who can talk Tom out of his funk? Do either Ann or Chris have a preference for what the gender will be? Is there anyone that can change Leslie's mind about running again? What WILL Tom plan on doing next? What IS the gender of Ann and Chris' unborn baby? Loyal podcast viewers, this is a great episode - will the producer's cut make it even better? Tune in to find out! Many thanks to our wonderful sponsor, "Cakey J's Cheesecake Facility"!

Hello, there! Would you like to sign our petition to get the dance sequence reinstated in Nicholas Hoult's Renfield (2023)? It's tragic the way that deleted scene was left on the cutting room floor, but with your help, we can not only get it back in the movie but also get the whole movie remade as a musical! Here at Spooky Tuesday, we think Nic Cage's take on a modern-day Dracula had a lot of potential, but we also have some notes. While we loved the gore and the fact that someone snorted a centipede, let's just say the central love story was no Romeo & Juliet. On our latest episode, we're sharing our vision and calling out all the CLEAR references to the vampire lore that came before.References:Deleted Dance Number: https://youtu.be/KE_GQM3TXbshttps://screenrant.com/renfield-dracula-universal-monsters-easter-eggs-references/

Apologies for the wait, but we're back! We don't often do episodes focused around one specific thing, but we're making an exception to talk about Netflix's newest interactive special: We Lost Our Human, and we're joined by its two co-creators, Chris and Rikke! (They also co-created the Nickelodeon series Pinky Malinky, and both have worked on many, many other animated projects, with Chris working as showrunner, producer, writer, art director, storyboarder, character designer and more. As for Rikke, she's also been a showrunner, producer, voice director, animator, animation director, storyboard artist, and more.)Together they talk about how they broke into animation and got into interactive narrative, what they thought the hardest part of making We Lost Our Human would be, getting advice from the Bandersnatch folks, making media for kids vs adults, whether it was difficult for the actors to keep the branching story in their heads, unexpected learnings, the new production pipeline they had to build, Netflix's branch manager tool, James Baxter, whether they had to adjust WLOH based on Netflix data, and what advice they'd give to someone making an interactive special now.Our Guests on the InternetChris' Instagram, and Twitter.Rikke's Instagram.Stuff We Talked AboutWe Lost Our HumanPinky MalinkyBandersnatchHeroes of Might and MagicTHE NEWZEALAND STORYOur theme music was done by Isabella Ness, and our logo was done by Lily Nishita.

This week we are talking about a sequel that everyone mentions when it comes to the conversation of the worst sequels of all-time, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. This movie had us scratching our heads over the bad CGI, the turnover in the cast, the death of a fan favorite, the lack of other people in the movie, ninjas flying from the sky but then riding on horses, and so much more. It was a doozy but it was a blast as always. Watch the unedited review at sequelsonly.com/MK2 The next sequel discussed is "Badasses on the Bayou" starring Danny Trejo and Danny Glover, which will be 1st watches for both Jamie and me. This one should be fun and it's wild they made 3 of these movies that all spawned from a youtube video. For it, I chatted with Actor James Mose Black who currently stars in "Renfield" as Captain Browning. James talked about working with Ben Schwartz on that, his early days doing comedy and opening for the Kings of Comedy (plus a great Bernie Mac story), his upcoming short films he's writing and directing, and a lot more.

Here we are again, it's like Mike and Matt do these things every week. For this week's pod Matt and Mike, and Ma Hinshaw and Matt, chat about the latest Nicolas Cage and Nicholas Hoult film Renfield. Not Dracula topics include Moviepass is getting better, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and putting kids to work. Dracula has been a horror icon for generations and Renfield finally gives Nicolas Cage his chance at playing the mythical creature, and he kills it. Renfield is like two films smashed into one. You have the story of Renfield, Dracula's familiar, and his struggles to confront his narcissistic boss and grow as a person. Then you have the story of a cop trying to live up to her father's reputation and take down a large crime family while combating cop corruption. They are both great stories but are smashed together to create an odd script for Renfield. The acting is fantastic and not just from Nic Cage but also Nicholas Hoult, Awkwafina, and Ben Schwartz. The sets are colorful and creative, but the action and gore is where this film really shines. It's just so much fun and over the top it reminds you of a video game. Matt and Mike both agree Renfield is a blast and worth a watch in the theaters. They both award the film 3 out of 5 Reels. Next week we check out the new release Guy Ritchie's The Covenant starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Dar Salim. Don't forget to check out Ma Hinshaw Loses Her Cookies Episode #9 at the end of RFN Episode #319. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Live from Pawnee: A Parks and Recreation Fan Rewatch Podcast
This week Mark and Allen break down the remainder of S06E02 - London Part 2! This is the episode where we get introduced to the bromance between Andy and Lord Covington (aka Lord Fancyface), Diane informs Ron that she is pregnant, Ron proposes to Diane, April goes to Vet School Orientation with Ann, Tom and Donna sleuth out the owner of Tommy Closet (the store trying to put Rent-A-Swag out of business, and Leslie accepts an award in London while creating havoc back at home....damn it Jerry...and, oh yeah, Ann is pregnant!(DEEP BREATH)As always, we tackle the tough questions, such as ... Will Leslie's speech go off without a hitch, or could she encounter some turbulence? Can Andy convince Lord Covington to choose Ben's proposal? Does Ron take pictures of London like Diane asked him to? What is the REAL reason Dr. Saperstein is going so hard after Tom? Will Ann and Chris decide to start telling people? Can Leslie's award change how the citizens of Pawnee see her, or will they continue to be "pee-pee-heads"? Is there anything Andy can otherwise do to help clinch the deal with Lord Fancyface?

Special guest Clint Worthington joins us this week to review Renfield, which stars Nicolas Cage as Dracula and Nicholas Hoult as his familiar titular familiar Renfield. Directed by Chris McKay (The Lego Batman Movie, The Tomorrow War), Renfield is a horror action comedy with tons of horror, action, and comedy, but does it work as a movie? The Cinemaholics are split on this one, and it won't be a toothless fight. The film also stars Awkwafina, Ben Schwartz, Shohreh Aghdashloo, and Brandon Scott Jones. Our intro music this week is “Journey” by Sam Cross, Monocloud, and Bertram Kvist. Links: Follow us on Twitter: Jon Negroni, Will Ashton Check out our Cinemaholics Merch!

The biggest blockbuster of the Spring is here folks! Starring Awkwafina as not the main character but kind of the main character and Ben Schwartz as not the main villain but kind of the main villain, Renfield is here! And it was such a conflicting film for the boys we had to bring the expert in yet again to weigh in on questions like do any of us actually enjoy Nicolas Cage as an actor and is this movie cohesive at all? Join us for a rather unhinged review as the boys discuss!

This week on the pod Jeff, Dave, and John discuss the NYT Critics Pick (that's true) Renfield (2023), starring the Nic(k)s! Nicolas Cage stars as Prince Dracula and Nicholas Hoult stars as the titular Renfield, The Count's Familiar/assistant/Guillermo/fixer, helping him travel from location to location, reviving him with the blood of innocents until he is in full form capable of world domination. Anyway, the gore is really fun and bloody and silly, and the movie is pretty fun- and a tight 93 minutes!

"Renfield" is a horror, action comedy from director Chris McKay ("The Lego Batman Movie" and "The Tomorrow War") which tells the story of a co-dependent relationship between Dracula (Nicolas Cage) and his long-suffering familiar Renfield (Nicholas Hoult). An intentionally silly, fun, and over-the-top comedy with lots of gore, actor Ben Schwartz plays the son of a mob boss who gets tied up in Renfield and Dracula's conflict. Schwartz and McKay were kind enough to let me interview them during the press junket for the film (my first-ever in-person interview), which you can listen to below! Thank you, and enjoy!

Live from Pawnee: A Parks and Recreation Fan Rewatch Podcast
This week Mark and Allen break down the Episode where we get introduced to Lord Fancyface! Picking up immediately where the Season 5 finale left off, Diane informs Ron that she is pregnant. Overwhelmed with joy and love, Ron proposes to Diane. Both wanting as small and quick a wedding as possible, they head to the 4th floor of City Hall to get married immediately. They pick up Leslie and April on their way, and with them as witnesses, Ron and Diane are pronounced husband and wife. One month later, Leslie is STILL being attacked by the "Recall Knope" campaign. Leslie attempts to fight back, but so far nothing she does is creating awareness or making a difference. Trying to think outside the box, April recently nominated Leslie for an award from the International Coalition of Women in Government, and announces some much needed good news to the gang: Leslie was one of five winners, and the awards ceremony is being held in London! One month later ... Leslie and April are in London for the awards ceremony, with Ben, Andy, and Ron also present. As Leslie prepares for the ceremony, she discovers her personal London pictures are being used by those from the "Recall Knope" campaign to insinuate she'd rather be in Europe than work through her problems in Pawnee. With the help of Ron, Leslie works past her initial instinct to fly back to Pawnee immediately. Meanwhile, Ben and Andy are in London to meet with a wealthy potential benefactor for the Sweetums Foundation. Ben and Andy meet with Lord Edgar Covington, a wealthy man from a distinguished family with lots of money and property. Ben attempts to discuss terms with Lord Covington, but it quickly becomes clear he is easily distracted and is interested in childish, trivial things ... much like Andy. In fact, Andy and Lord Covington get along very, VERY well, both having similar work ethics and mannerisms. When Ben finally gets the chance to put forward his proposal, Covington admits he has no idea what he is doing. He started the charity to do something good with his family's money but he has heard hundreds of charity pitches and isn't sure who to choose. Also meanwhile, we learn from Ron that Diane originally wanted this London trip to be their honeymoon, but when a huge wave of morning sickness took her out of the equation, she stayed home and insisted Ron go take pictures for her and try to enjoy himself. Ron grumpily agrees, but is not having a great time there. Despite this, he manages to support Leslie, and even tries to mentor her when she finds out Pawnee is still raking her over the coals at home. Leslie also gives Ron what she considers a "proper" wedding gift ... an itinerary taking him to a mystery location that she swears he'll be glad he went to. Back in Pawnee, Tom is peeved at Tommy's Closet being established across the street from Rent-A-Swag, and asks Donna to help him find out information on the unknown owner. Finding only an address, Tom drives there to find Ann and Chris entering the building - what the what? Tom races in after them and finds the pair in a room in the middle of a sonogram. At this point, Tom realizes two very important things: [a] Ann is pregnant, and [b] the person trying to ruin his business is their doctor, Dr. Saperstein ... the father of both Jean-Ralphio and Mona-Lisa. Dr. Saperstein tells Tom he is only doing it to get back at him for ruining his children's lives. Even after hearing this, Tom doesn't really get Dr. Saperstein's reasoning for going after him. Finally, Ann and Chris are together, and doing great - their relationship is better than it ever has been. As things progress, we (and Tom) end up learning one more very interesting fact ... Ann is pregnant! They're trying to keep this just their secret for now, but they're getting a little antsy to let everyone know ... As always, we tackle the tough questions, such as ... Will Leslie's speech go off without a hitch, or could she encounter some turbulence? Can Andy convince Lord Covington to choose Ben's proposal? Does Ron take pictures of London like Diane asked him to? What is the REAL reason Dr. Saperstein is going so hard after Tom? Will Ann and Chris decide to start telling people? Can Leslie's award change how the citizens of Pawnee see her, or will they continue to be "pee-pee-heads"? Is there anything Andy can otherwise do to help clinch the deal with Lord Fancyface? Is Ron able to talk Leslie down out of the crazy tree? Can Jean-Ralphio and Mona-Lisa help to diffuse the situation between Tom and their father? Can Ann and Chris predict how Leslie will react when she hears their news? Does Leslie's award change how SHE feels, or does she need a boost from another source? Who exactly came up with the nickname "Lord Fancyface"? Where exactly is Leslie's itinerary sending Ron? Does Tom close Rent-A-Swag, or will he continue to fight? Is all this making Ann and Chris feel overwhelmed, and if so, how do they deal with it? Loyal podcast viewers, here we go ... Season 6 is here! Can it live up to the legacy Season 5 left us with?
