Today on Soundtracker--on a Friday the 13th, no less--I'm talking about Jason Voorhees (and Freddy Krueger) as I continue the Halloween theme with FREDDY VS. JASON. And I'm joined once again by Brett Gallman (@brettgallmam, an expert on the film) of Fangoria, Daily Grindhouse, and Oh, The Horror to talk about it. In this episode, we talk about the incredibly long and complicated road to getting this movie made, talk about our favorite rejected screenplays, explain why we're either Team Freddy or Team Jason, the Kane Hodder controversy, the infamous Kelly Rowland ad-libbed line, and the EXTREMELY 2003 nu-metal soundtrack. Check out Brett's stuff on Fangoria here: http://www.fangoria.com/authors/brett-gallman/Check out Oh, The Horror here: http://www.oh-the-horror.com/index.phpCheck out Brett's excellent article on FvJ over on Daily Grindhouse here: http://dailygrindhouse.com/thewire/end-of-an-era-20-years-of-freddy-vs-jason-2003/And if you're a horror fan, contact Brett over on Twitter and pitch some ideas for articles you may have for Daily Grindhouse.Support the show on Patreon!

Are you frozen? Am I frozen? Despite some technical difficulties we managed to scrape together this wonderful episode with old friend/ Chicago musical maestro Vito Nusret! Vito is responsible for putting many of your favorite Chicago bands on stage through the years and was always your rock when you were too drunk at the show. Dude had everyones' back since day one and for that, we have all the gratitude. Since the times they are a changin', Vito began writing his Movies in a Minute reviews and sharing them on Facebook as a writing exercise. He has since started writing for Daily Grindhouse and Neon Splatter! Not only a Chicago punk rock torch bearer, also a Horror aficionado, our kinda guy! This was a fun talk between friends catching up. Lindsey also weighs in on the film Master. You won't want to miss it! Stay dangerous, friends!

Jessica Scott returns to discuss yet another Shudder exclusive, the glory hole horror film, Glorious. What begins as a film about a sympathetic man trying to work his way through a difficult breakup becomes an often comedic and horrifying examination of a toxic man who thought so highly of himself and so little of his victims that he believed his genitals would save the universe from certain destruction at the hands (tentacles?) of a god older than creation. Oh, also, that god is voiced by J.K. Simmons. Follow Jessica Scott on Twitter @wewhowalkhere Keep up with her work at Film Cred, Daily Grindhouse, SlashFilm, and Nightmarish Conjurings.

Chunky, bring in the Riley once again! Horror fan, writer, dentist avoider, and co-host of a new spooky podcast (stream The Fright of Your Life everywhere starting October 27!) returns to the court to plead her case for the scariest movie moments, Freddy Krueger's amazing personality, and the ease that goes into a sexy Steve Jobs costume. Nick shares something dramaTEETH (Judgies, where do YOU start flossing every night?). Then, Riley and Jess battle it out in a debate over Group Halloween costumes in a brand new WTV game! Strictly speaking, the Tits and Tats sections get scarier than things that go bump in the night and “no bones days”.

We're back after another short hiatus! This week, Daily Grindhouse's Preston Fassel joins us to talk about two films featuring our heroes in erstwhile dysfunctional families: A Love Song for Bobby Long and Matchstick Men! In Love Song for Bobby Long, Travolta plays the titular Southern-fried English professor, a hard-drinking, hard-living man dealing with his itinerant ways in N'Awlins, only to have to grow up when a young girl (Scarlett Johansson, not quite yet playing black widows or Japanese people) shows up to claim the house he's squatting in as hers. Contrast that with Ridley Scott's masterful Matchstick Men, in which Cage fills the tic-filled shoes of a con man struggling with Tourette's and OCD, and what happens when a young girl (Alison Lohman) who may be his daughter comes into his life. One's a sprightly, energetic dramedy with all the power of an actor and director at the top of his game (plus Sam Rockwell dancing!). The other? Well, it's got Travolta saying “pussy” a lot. Take a listen!

Beware the moon, listeners! This week, we're taking a break from the format and covering a one-off movie, and it just happens to be Mike's favorite horror movie of all time: John Landis' An American Werewolf in London. Lindsay needed to take the week off for TIFF, so Mike's brought on a pair of fantastic guests to fill her shoes, KiIll By Kill's Gena Radcliffe joins us to discuss how this movie turned her into a lifelong horror fan, and Daily Grindhouse's Jessica Scott is on board to talk about how much this movie has meant to her over the years. Long time listeners are in for a treat as Mike goes off on why Werewolf  is indirectly responsible for his marriage. 

We're back, Scaredy Cats! It's time to take on one of the most influential, but also weirdest horror movies of all time, Dario Argento's 1977 classic, Suspiria.  It was followed by Inferno in 1980 and The Mother of Tears in 2007. The three movies make up the “The Three Mothers” trilogy which tells the tale of the Mothers of Sorrow, three witches who wreak evil havoc on the world. The narrative of Suspiria is incidental; it's the visuals and the score that make Suspiria the legend that it is. So, grab yourself some red wine, and sit back because this is going to be a wild ride. For this episode, the werewolf squad reunites, but this time it's all about witches. You know that we're going to work some werewolf hijinks into the episode! Jessica Scott has written articles for Film Cred, Nightmarish Conjurings and Grim, has a podcast called Monster Books Podcast, and has a horror comics column on Daily Grindhouse.  Brian Keiper is a regular contributor to Bloody Disgusting, Manor Vellum and Council of Zoom and co-host of the Movies for Life Podcast.  Contact/Follow Us Email: scaredycats.podcats@gmail.comTwitter: @CatsScaredyInstagram: @scaredycatsthepodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZaoOcdQ3bSS3iTFLhO4A2QGive our guest hosts a follow as well!  Jessica:Twitter: @WeWhoWalkHereBrian:Twitter: @BrianDKeiperMovies For Life:Twitter: @MoviesLifePodSupport the show (https://www.paypal.me/scaredysherri)

After sixteen episodes, Nick decided it was time for a little order on this podcast. So he picked the Stepfather franchise for our topic for Episode 17! In this episode, we're reviewing all three movies of the original series as well as the 2009 remake. And we're joined by two very special guests!

Then for the 2009 remake of The Stepfather, we're joined by actor/musician/podcaster Seth Adam Kallick, who starred in a movie we reviewed on our previous episode: Butterfly Kisses.

Hey Scaredy Cats.  In our last episode, we started our werewolf tour on the gritty streets of Los Angeles and the remote, rustic getaway known as the Colony.  The tour continues as we travel to England, starting out on the mysterious moors before ending up in hustle and bustle of London.  We may have talked about it just a bit in our episode on the Howling, but put on a pot of tea, grab your backpack and join us as we take on An American Werewolf In London.  The Howling pack is reunited as we are once again joined by werewolf aficionados , Jessica and Brian.  Jessica has written articles for Film Cred, Nightmarish Conjurings and Grim, has a podcast called Monster Books Podcast, and has a horror comics column on Daily Grindhouse.  Brian Keiper is a regular contributor to Bloody Disgusting, Manor Vellum and Council of Zoom and co-host of the Movies for Life Podcast.  Contact/Follow Us Email: scaredycats.podcats@gmail.comTwitter: @CatsScaredyInstagram: @scaredycatsthepodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZaoOcdQ3bSS3iTFLhO4A2QGive our guest hosts a follow as well!  Jessica:Twitter: @WeWhoWalkHereBrian:Twitter: @BrianDKeiperMovies For Life:Twitter: @MoviesLifePodSupport the show (https://www.paypal.me/scaredysherri)

Hey Scaredy Cats.  The eighties were all about the werewolf movie.   You had Teen Wolf, Full Moon High, Teen Wolf Too, The Company of Wolves, and Silver Bullet.  There was one year that beat them all.  With not one, but three werewolf movies coming out, 1981 was a banner year if you liked to howl at the moon.  There was Howlen, An American Werewolf In London and the movie we’re going to talk about today, The Howling.  Joining the pack to discuss the Howling are return guests, Jessica and Brian.  Jessica has written articles for Film Cred, Nightmarish Conjurings and Grim, has a podcast called Monster Books Podcast, and has a horror comics column on Daily Grindhouse.  Brian Keiper is a regular contributor to Bloody Disgusting, Manor Vellum and Council of Zoom and co-host of the Movies for Life Podcast.  Contact/Follow Us Email: scaredycats.podcats@gmail.comTwitter: @CatsScaredyInstagram: @scaredycatsthepodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZaoOcdQ3bSS3iTFLhO4A2Qive our guest hosts a follow as well!  Jessica:Twitter: @WeWhoWalkHereBrian:Twitter: @BrianDKeiperMovies For Life:Twitter: @MoviesLifePodSupport the show (https://www.paypal.me/scaredysherri)

We're covering a weird, ambitious movie, so it's only fitting that we've got a weird, ambitious episode. Jay Alary from Grumpire and Daily Grindhouse joins The Cast of Cthulhu to discuss Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce, the first of a 3-picture deal and a weird, ambitious failure of a sci-fi film that may have signaled the beginning of the end for Hooper's marketability and dependability as a director. Of course, those 3 pictures were all made for the notorious(ly beloved) low-budget studio, The Cannon Group, so the review can't begin until James takes us down a meaty tour of Cannon's history and reputation from Cannes to Sunday afternoons on WPIX 11.  If you're anything like Jim, then you see Lifeforce as a messy, exploitative genre film in which a beloved The X-Files character actor elicits unintentional laughs from portraying the sweatiest, most pathetically love sick astronaut in history. And if you're anything like Jay and James, then that's probably why you love it. And if you're anything like The Space Vampires author Colin Wilson, well...why are you even listening to this?

Johnny Donadlson of Daily Grindhouse joins Adrian to discuss the 1990 comedy-horror classic Tremors.

This week editor-in-chief of Daily Grindhouse, Jon Abrams joins us to talk about a movie we feel deserves more love during the October spooky season, the 2018 slasher Hell Fest. Also joining us this week is the writer of this film as well as the scribe of Leatherface &  Hulu's YA show Light As A Feather, Seth M Sherman. 

Mike is joined by Daily Grindhouse's Rob Dean to talk Tsui Hark's Black Mask 2: City of Masks. This movie is, uh, something. We talk Andy On, the unusually high number of horror film actors in the film, and of course, Scott Adkins trying to replicate a live-action Dr. Mindbender.

This week we're joined by author Alyse Wax (Curious Goods: Behind the Scenes of Friday the 13th The Series; The World of It) and Nathan Smith (Grumpire, Daily Grindhouse) to talk about the nail in the coffin in the original Elm Street series, 1991's Freddy's Dead. Directed by Rachel Talalay, the Final Nightmare looks almost unrecognizable when compared to the early entries as the dark, scary boogeyman has been replaced by something out of a Looney Tunes cartoon. Was this the right direction to go, or had audiences grown tired of Freddy's  bad dad jokes by the start of the grunge era? 

It's been called "the gayest horror movie of all time" by some, and it's appalling treatment of star Mark Patton in the press by director Jack Sholder and writer David Chaskin has been a source of controversy and criticism  since its release. This week we're joined by Jay Alary of Daily Grindhouse and Grumpire & Sam Wineman, director of the upcoming LGBTQ horror documentary for Shudder and the writer/director of award winning short The Quiet Room (available to stream on Shudder now) to talk the history of this film, queer representation in horror, why this might be Freddy at his scariest and whether it not it "breaks" the rules of the franchise.  Check out Sam at Comic Con's "Horror is Queer" panel, presented by Shudder: (link) Support our Patreon: www.patreon.com/podandthependulum Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/podandpendulum Join our Facebook Group: Pod & the Pendulum Facebook Group

We did it again! This week, there's a transcription of the show notes. Click here to download a copy in PDF. Debbi (01:43): Hi everyone. My guest is the author of the Walt Asher thriller series. He also writes Grindhouse Pulp, which we've gotta talk about. He is an infomercial writer and director. He's also into wild cult movies, making them I believe, and runs a website called Dailygrindhouse.com. My guest today is Andrew Allan. Hi Andrew. Thanks for being here. Andrew (02:11): Hey, Debbi. Thanks for having me. Debbi (02:13): Sure thing. I love your resume. I mean, your bio is just fascinating to me cause I love film as well as books. I assumed that you were an infomercial writer-director before you started writing books. Andrew (02:28): Yes. Yeah. I, my career is a little bit weird in the sense that I went to film school and then I broke into commercials while I was working on developing some movies. And then I ended up getting a job at the home shopping network, which is based here in St. Pete Florida. And it's as bizarre as everyone presumes it is, but it was a really great experience. And I learned how to do a lot of things, including sell on TV and that morphed into doing infomercials, which is selling on TV. So, and I have to say, I love it as ridiculous as it sounds, it's a great profession. Debbi (03:08): I mean, that sounds really cool actually. What made you decide to do infomercials and what prompted you to start writing books? Andrew (03:20): Money prompted me to start doing infomercials. One cause you know, we all need it and we all like it. But the real reason was like I said, I learned to basically sell on television when I was at HSN and that is a natural transition into infomercials. And when I decided to leave HSN, I knew I wanted to make my writing or sorry, make my living still writing and directing and producing commercials. And what was great about infomercials was that it was a niche. So instead of just saying, Hey, I'm a commercial writer and there's 10,000 other people I'm competing with, I decided to be an infomercial writer and you know, there's maybe 10 people I'm competing with, so now I can like authentically say I'm one of the top infomercial writers in the world and I've got a ton of experience and I've done thousands of commercials in the past decade and all that sort of stuff. (04:24) So it's, it's great. And that's how that came to be. The reason I started writing books was because for a number of reasons. One, I was creatively frustrated. I had been making movies and I had been writing screenplays, which were fun. And some of them got made, some of them didn't, but all of them required collaboration. And I had reached a point where I didn't really want to collaborate anymore, at least for a while. I needed a beather and that's even on projects that I absolutely loved. A movie that I was making with my best friend. And even then, like we would get in arguments about it and I just needed a break from that. So I wanted to do something on my own and that's when I decided to write a book, I had a story kind of kicking around that I'd never been able to turn into a script. I was creatively frustrated. I had been making movies and I had been writing screenplays,

This week we look back at what might be the most divisive entry in the whole Friday the 13th series. For the 1st time since the original, Sean Cunningham is back pulling the strings, but what he and director Adam Marcus want from a Jason movie might be much different from what fans expect. We are joined by Mike Vanderbilt of Daily Grindhouse & Jason Parker of http://www.fridaythe13thfranchise.com/ to break down why this movie deserves another look and greater appreciation from fans.    For further reading: Enjoy Mike Vanderbilt' spirited defense of the film on DG right here.

We had a few tech difficulties so the episode is slightly edited, but do not fear, all of the most questionable content has been left in for your pleasure. Mike can be found being utterly fantastic on the twitters: @MikeVanderbilt SUPPORT, FOLLOW and SUBSCRIBE TO 26 MOVIES FROM HELL: https://twitter.com/26MFHPOD

Daily Grindhouse film critic Jim Donahue stops by for an all Unknown Movie Challenge show, bringing the 1980 Australian oddity HARLEQUIN (AKA DARK FORCES), starring Jesus of Nazareth as Rasputin, and the guy from BLOW-UP playing a British guy pretending to be an Australian guy pretending to be an American. Basically, it's TROPIC THUNDER disguised as Ziggy Stardust.

From Easy Rider to Forrest Gump and Wayne's World to Woodstock, the legacy of Jimi Hendrix has certainly been aided by the eternal power of cinema. Host Ernest Wilkins is joined by musician and actor Mykele Deville, Daily Grindhouse editor Mike Vanderbilt, and Consequence of Sound Editor-in-Chief Michael Roffman to trace back the lineage of the legend on celluloid. However, that lineage is parallel to a long standing relationship with pop music and film, one that may have been exacerbated by the late axeman himself. To find out, the four step out to enjoy a 30,000 foot view and discuss the larger cultural impact of music in film and how Hendrix’s music itself is interwoven into American culture through iconic movie moments.

Actor Daniel Day-Lewis, a three-time Oscar winner who is often cited as one of the best actors working today, says that PHANTOM THREAD is his final movie. He hasn’t really given a reason why he’s retiring, but I suspect that a “serious artist” such as Daniel Day-Lewis isn’t really interested in playing a villian in the latest Marvel movie, and since that’s mainly what Hollywood is making these days, it’s no wonder he’s thinking about calling the whole thing off. To celebrate, or maybe in honor of Daniel Day Lewis’s performance in PHANTOM THREAD, we’ve decided to do some serious deep dorking out about in first big studio movie, THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS with AJ Muller, writer for Daily Grindhouse and Horrorview.    Find The Dorking Out Show here...Dorking Out Show Bloghttp://dorkingoutshow.com/ Dorking Out Show Twitterhttps://twitter.com/dorkingoutshow Dorking Out Show YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3ufLeNHiA59ANCMPlAdAOQ Dorking Out Show Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/dorkingoutshow Dorking Out Show Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/DorkingOutShow Sonia’s Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheSoniaShow The Sonia Show Bloghttp://www.thesoniashow.com/ The Sonia Show Facebook Pagehttps://www.facebook.com/TheSoniaShow Chris’ Twitter:https://twitter.com/JettJergens The Jett Jergens Bloghttps://jettjergens.com/ Jett Jergens Facebook Pagehttps://www.facebook.com/JettJergens/

Rundown: In this week’s episode, we talk about the blonde headed stepchild of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thor and review the third movie in that series, Thor: Ragnarok. Is this the best movie in the MCU, or another Dark World? Joining us for that is Peter Brown, Associate Editor of Assignment X. Then we welcome AJ Muller, writer for Daily Grindhouse and Horrorview to talk about Netflix’s most recent juggernaut, Stranger Things 2: The Strangening. I may have added to this title. Then we welcome Jeff Bond to talk about Star Trek: Discovery Episode 8. Topic 1: Thor: Ragnarok Review Thor: Ragnarok, the third movie in Marvel’s Thor series and the seventeenth movie in the overall Marvel Cinematic Universe came out Friday. As Marvel is starting to release these comic book epics at a nearly quarterly clip… Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 came out six months ago, Spiderman: Homecoming came out four months ago and Black Panther is coming out three months from now… we will dispense with our usual ‘State of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’ discussion. Rejoining us is best friend of the show, Peter Brown, the Associate Editor of Assignment X and one of our favorite comic book movie thinkers. Topic 2: Stranger Things Season 2 Unless you’ve been trapped in the Upside Down, you know that the second season of STRANGER THINGS dropped on October 27 on Netflix, but we have a no-binge watching rule here on Dorking Out, so we’re talking about the show now. If you don’t know what STRANGER THINGS is, well, welcome back from the Upside Down, and you don’t need to watch the show, because you lived it. Created by the Duffer Brothers, STRANGER THINGS is about four preteen boys in the early 80s who get involved in the mysterious goings-on in their small town in Indiana. It’s a mix of Stephen King, John Carpenter and Steven Spielberg: in other words, it’s got horror, sci-fi and a big helping of nostalgia. Plus, throw in some Gremlins, oh and some Goonies with the addition of Sean Astin to the cast, and Aliens with the addition of Paul Reiser. The Duffer Brothers have said that STRANGER THINGS 2 is more of a sequel than a second season, and I think that comes across. It’s got a little sequelitis - it’s bigger; it’s got more, more, more. Joining us to talk about Stranger Things is Albert Muller, and since all of his friends call him AJ we will be calling him Albert, and he writes for DailyGrindhouse.com and Horrorview. Status Check: Star Trek: Discovery Returning today to talk about Star Trek: Discovery Ep08, "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum” is my favorite living critic, Jeff Bond. He’s the author of several books, including The Music of Star Trek and The Art of Star Trek: The Kelvin Timeline, as well as a forthcoming book on Seth MacFarlane's The Orville.

Ann Turner's 1989 horror/drama Celia is a film that has almost been lost to time. It's a powerful film that stars Rebecca Smart in the titular role of Celia, a young girl who is questioning her place in the world after the death of her grandmother. Touching on themes of communism, politics and the desire to own a rabbit, Celia is a brilliant film that is crying out for rediscovery. With thanks to guest hosts David Hart from Pop Culture Case Study and Anya Novak from AnyaWrites.com and Daily Grindhouse, the film is covered in great detail. Even if you haven't seen the film, I highly recommend giving this one a listen. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Mike, Jon, and Freeman celebrate #MayTheFourth with a look at some of their favorite STAR WARS inspired films, rip-offs, & knock-offs with the arbitrary genre of Lucasploitation.

This week on the Daily Grindhouse Podcast, Jon, Mike & Freeman discuss the controversy surrounding the big-budget remake of 1995's anime classic, GHOST IN THE SHELL. The just released film has come under fire, accused of "white washing" the main character of the original by casting Scarlett Johansson in the part and like everybody else, the Daily Grindhouse team have opinions on this. Is it whitewashing or is it regionalization. Lest you fear that the show has gotten too serious, the boys also dive into 1983's MICROWAVE MASSACRE, MALIBU HIGH, and Macon Blair's directorial debut I DON'T FEEL AT HOME IN THIS WORLD ANYMORE as well as MACROSS and Syfy Network's THE EXPANSE.

As you may well know, Time Travel is an easy way to sell a film for us. Not always, but say it involves time travel, and we're all "go onnnn..". WELL strap in because this week have the mother (and father) of all time travel films to talk about, and we have a guest along for the ride! We have columnist AJ Muller with us to talk Predestination! A movie that was seemingly dropped into the filmic landscape with no other explanation besides itself, Predestination is impossible to talk about with delving into MASSIVE spoilers, so be warned.. this cast is one giant spoiler. HOWEVER that's not to say that knowing what happens prepares you for the film, because it does not. So grab your seatbelts folks, as we talk Predestination! You can find AJ Muller's writings at Daily Grindhouse as well as Horror View, where you can read his article on Predestination. You can also find AJ on Twitter: @aj_macready We now have a website!

Except it’s THE ENTIRE MOVIE and it took SEVEN YEARS to do! Yes, a group of Mississippi teens spent seven summers making a shot-for-shot recreation of RAIDERS, and actually FINISHED the darn thing. It’s an example of glorious SOV inspiration, but is it any good outside of the novelty factor? Does it even matter?

Before Robert Downey, Jr. donned the cap and pipe, before Benedict Cumberbatch deduced in the modern world, there was another revival of Sherlock Holmes back in the 1980s. And yes, it was a Disney movie. Sure, the lead characters were...mice, and sure, they weren't...called Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. But no matter! This week on Mousterpiece Cinema, Josh and Gabe take a look at The Great Mouse Detective, one of Disney's last animated features before the vaunted Renaissance period kicked in. They're joined by Doug Tilley of DailyGrindhouse.com to discuss the majesty of Vincent Price, the old-school bumbling nature of Watson (or, as he's known here, Dr. Dawson), Basil of Baker Street, and erotic fan fiction. (No joke! And if you're listening with kids, be warned: we do discuss said fan fiction in a bit of PG-13 detail around 40 minutes in.)

It's the 103rd minute (1:42:00-1:43:00) - host Blake Howard joins assistant editor for The Daily Grindhouse; contributor for The Takeout, Consequence of Sound, Fandor, Chicago Reader and The AV Club; bartender and premiere "Manhunter" expert, Mike Vanderbilt. Blake and Mike discuss great Mann-erisms like "sport," "slick" and "jagoff"; Mann's style in both aesthetic and fashion choices; asking whether Neil's crew are "bad guys" when they're only taking the bank's money; and finally, call "Heat" a quiet dramatic film punctuated with scenes of extreme violence.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/one-heat-minute-productions/donations

That's why a landscape is so affected by the mood of the person looking at it. In it a person sees his own inner, transitory moments. Wherever he looks, he sees nothing but himself.” Wellllll, jeez Louise. Doc, meet Olga.
