“Don't you love being famous?” Halloween on the podcast has arrived, and we're starting things off with a tribute to the LGBT horror icon James Whale. As the subject of the 1998 Bill Condon film Gods and Monsters, a partially fictional take on the last days of his life. The small moving film won Condon an Oscar for adapted screenplay and nominated its star Ian McKellen and a scene-stealing Lynn Redgrave as his housekeeper.  Oscars they probably both should have won; don't worry, we get into it! The movie also brought Brendan Fraser's career to the next level as a hunky gardener who develops an unlikely friendship with Whale when he agrees to sit for the director to sketch. We talk about the queer people that helped build the horror genre and Whale's contributions with films like Frankenstein. “To a new world, of Gods and Monsters!”  Thank you for listening, and don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna

FearDotCom (2002) was chosen by supporter Mike, and it stands as one of the more infamous entries in early-2000s horror cinema. Directed by William Malone, the film attempted to ride the wave of techno-horror thrillers that followed in the wake of The Ring and other Y2K-era internet scare stories. Produced on a budget of around $40 million and shot in Luxembourg to cut costs, the film leaned heavily into dark, industrial set design and unsettling visual effects. Its creative team aimed to blend supernatural horror with the growing unease surrounding online culture and the dangers lurking in the digital world.Unfortunately, what ended up on screen was a messy, incoherent slog that quickly earned a reputation as one of the worst horror films of its decade. Critics tore into its lack of story, overreliance on cheap shock tactics, and shameless recycling of ideas from better movies. Rather than building a cult following, FearDotCom has largely been remembered as an embarrassing misfire — a reminder that big budgets and flashy visuals can't save a film when the script is dead on arrival.Check out Mike's channels for Genuine Chit Chat and Star Wars Chit Chat.If you enjoy the show, we have a Patreon, so become a supporter ⁠⁠here⁠⁠.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:⁠⁠NordVPN⁠⁠⁠⁠NordPass⁠⁠Trailer Guy Plot SummaryA mysterious website, a string of gruesome deaths, and a detective racing against time — FearDotCom! When people log on, they don't just surf the web… they sign their own death warrant. Now, with only 48 hours to crack the case, the question isn't who's behind the killings… but whether anyone can survive clicking the wrong link.Fun FactsFearDotCom was filmed almost entirely in Luxembourg, making it one of the most expensive movies ever shot there at the time.The movie had a budget of around $40 million, but grossed less than $20 million worldwide, marking it as a huge box office flop.Director William Malone previously worked on another horror movie, House on Haunted Hill (1999), before tackling FearDotCom.The film holds a rare 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, cementing its reputation as one of the worst-reviewed horror movies ever made.Screenwriter Josephine Coyle came up with the concept after being inspired by fears of the internet in the late 1990s.The movie's cinematography leaned heavily on shadows and industrial set design, inspired by German expressionism and the works of David Fincher.Critics often compared it unfavorably to The Ring, which was released just months later in 2002.FearDotCom was one of the last major horror films to receive a wide theatrical release before studios shifted many similar “dot com” thrillers to direct-to-DVD.Despite its failure, the film has developed a small following of horror fans who admire its eerie visual style, if not its storytelling.Stephen Dorff, the film's lead actor, admitted in later interviews that he felt the script was weak but took the role because of the big production budget and studio backing.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

We got movie reviews number #53 today. Let's do a little roll call, hmm.1.(The go between 1971) Julie Christie and Alan Bates star in this British film, shocker. There's a whole darn movie full of plot but it really kind of is about just what the title sez, Boring! 2.(The Final Comedown 1972) Long time hard ta get Lando film is here and it delivers the goods. Studio and distribution versus revolutionaries fighting fascist racist u.s. imperialism. There are issues here of course, and Lando and his Mom are all caught up in it. It gets the white radicals right, ha.3.(The Day of the Jackal 1973) Omg it's been a long time from seeing this film til today. It's highly rated on IMDB but I remember nothing except that an assassin guy has a hard time.4.(Black Belt Jones 1974) Hong Kong Fooey, the kid that calls Charlton Heston “Hostile” in Omega Man and the Guy who beats up racist cops and then drives to the airport in their squad car star in this film about a community out to save a rad Karate school, flawless victory.5.(Shelia Levine is dead and living in New York 1975) Just Wow, more exposure for this movie definitely. Nazi hunter Jeannie Berlin from Hunters brings Gail Parents book to life. Find and watch this movie, then listen to us gab about it in yer headphones hmmm?6.(Hot Potato 1976) Here is the extremely loose sequel to black belt Jones. It kinda reminded me of when the Beatles were talking about the movie help, which was filmed on location so they could chill and smoke weed in the Bahamas. It feels like the studio gave the people some dough and tickets to film in Thailand and they partied and forgot to write a script etc until the deadline.7.(Roseland 1977) So many, if not most films that came out in 1977 after May 25 were overshadowed by Star Wars and left behind. I had never seen this Christopher Walken gem before, it's quite a cinematic treat. Directed by James Ivory. That's the news fam, thanks as always for listening.

The Conjuring: Last Rites Full Movie Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Visit https://huel.com/rejects to get 15% off your order Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ On the heels of its MASSIVE Boxoffice Success, Greg, Roxy, & Tara are BACK for The Conjuring: Last Rites Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review! Greg Alba, Tara Erickson & Roxy Striar step into darkness with The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025), the latest—and reportedly final—installment in the Conjuring cinematic universe. Directed by Michael Chaves (The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It) and written by Ian Goldberg, Richard Naing, and David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, this film brings back Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as Ed and Lorraine Warren for one last case. In Last Rites, the Warrens come out of retirement to investigate the horrifying case of the Smurl family in Pennsylvania—a haunting that pushes them to their limits, both professionally and emotionally. Mia Tomlinson joins the cast as the adult Judy Warren, whose evolving psychic powers play a major role in the conflict. Ben Hardy appears as Tony Spera, Judy's partner and eventual ally in facing the supernatural threat. Meanwhile, Rebecca Calder and Elliot Cowan portray Janet and Jack Smurl, the couple whose home becomes the battleground for malevolent forces. Some of the most talked-about, chilling scenes include the mirror's sinister presence, manifestations of ghostly entities within the Smurl home, intense confrontations with demonic forces, and Lorraine's psychic visions that test the limits of her strength. The trailers tease that this installment is the “darkest” yet in the franchise, with a demon that holds personal vendettas and forces the Warrens to draw on every ounce of faith and terror. As the franchise bids farewell to Ed & Lorraine on screen, Last Rites delivers emotional weight, supernatural horror, and a climactic confrontation meant to close the chapter on their storied investigations.

It's Mighty Monday, and Ryan is here to take us back to the diamond with one of our favorite films: The Sandlot.ABOUT THE SANDLOTIn the summer of 1962, a new kid in town is taken under the wing of a young baseball prodigy and his rowdy team, resulting in many adventures.AIR DATE & PLATFORM FOR THE SANDLOTApril 7, 1993 | Theatrical ReleaseCAST & CREW OF THE SANDLOTTom Guiry as Scott “Scotty” SmallsMike Vitar as Benjamin “Benny the Jet” RodriguezPatrick Renna as Hamilton “Ham” PorterChauncey Leopardi as Michael “Squints” PalledorousMarty York as Alan “Yeah-Yeah” McClennanBrandon Quintin Adams as Kenny “The Heater” DeNunezGrant Gelt as Bertram Grover WeeksShane Obedzinski as Tommy “Repeat” TimmonsVictor DiMattia as Timmy TimmonsJames Earl Jones as Mr. Mertle (and “the Beast” guardian)Directed & written by David Mickey EvansBRAN'S THE SANDLOT SYNOPSISThe movie kicks off with a narrator telling us about Babe Ruth calling his shot as an announcer gets ready to call a baseball game.Flash back to that guy as a kid. Scotty Smalls moves to the San Fernando Valley with his mom and stepdad, Bill. He doesn't have any friends, so he asks Bill to teach him how to play baseball. Bill puts his prized possession on the mantel—a signed Babe Ruth baseball.The next day, Scotty runs to the nearby baseball field to see if he can make some friends. A fly ball comes right to him, and it doesn't go well. As he fumbles for the ball, he's terrified by this… Beast… on the other side of the fence. The kids give him a hard time for not knowing how to throw or catch. Scotty goes home, asks Bill to teach him again, and ends up with a black eye.The next day, despite the other kids not wanting him to play, the team's best player, Benny, says they should give him a shot because they need a full team. Benny teaches him to throw and catch, and soon Scotty starts to fit in.One day, Ham smacks a home run into the Beast's yard. When Smalls asks about the Beast, the boys hold a sleepover and share the legend of the terrifying dog who lives beyond the fence.The boys become best friends and do best friend stuff—like hanging out at the pool and celebrating the Fourth of July. But at the end of the day, it all comes back to baseball.One afternoon, Benny absolutely crushes their only ball. With Bill out of town, Smalls thinks he's got the solution: he'll grab the one from the mantel. What Smalls doesn't realize is that the ball is signed by Babe Ruth. When he hits his first home run with it, he proudly tells the guys it was signed by “some girl named Ruth.” They freak out once they realize what he's done.The boys quickly forge Babe Ruth's signature on a new ball as a temporary replacement while they try to get the real one back. But the Beast doesn't make it easy.After a dream where Babe Ruth himself tells Benny about being a legend, Benny decides to take matters into his own hands. He hops the fence. The dog—who turns out to just be a big, playful pup—chases Benny all around town. Eventually, Benny makes it back, but the Beast crashes through the fence and gets stuck. Scotty and Benny free him, and the dog gratefully licks Smalls' face before leading them to his stash of baseballs.The boys meet Mr. Mertle, the Beast's owner, and are shocked to learn that he knew Babe Ruth personally. Mr. Mertle gives Smalls a ball signed by the entire 1927 Yankees in exchange for weekly baseball chats.The gang eventually grows up and goes their separate ways. Smalls? He's revealed to be the sports commentator from the beginning, still best friends with Benny, who goes on to play for the Dodgers.

It's our fourth episode of the increasingly-inaccurately-titled Patreon Request "Month" 2025, and in the longest official episode of this podcast to date, the randomizer is going all the way back to 1988 to pick ArthurCrane's request for, quite simply, one of the greatest cinematic triumphs of all time, a tour-de-force of animation, live action and pre-CGI special effects wizardry, wrapped up in a still-relevant metaphorical fable about civil rights and gentrification set in an impossible fantasy world that combines a gritty film noir aesthetic with off-the-wall cartoon zaniness. Directed by future Oscar-winning blockbuster visionary Robert Zemeckis at the peak of his powers, with animation directed by often-underappreciated genius Richard Williams, and representing a Disney studio with new management eager to swing for the fences and conquer the world, this masterpiece was truly a once-in-a-lifetime perfect melding of artistry, ambition and anarchy. And granted, the whole project was blown out of the water just a few years later by the even greater achievement that was Ralph Bakshi's Cool World, but this movie was still pretty darn swell too.

Send us a textIn this episode, Billie speaks with Susan Magestro, a criminologist, interventionist, and expert witness who specializes in one of the most challenging and underreported issues facing families today: domestic violence perpetrated by children against their parents. Susan brings decades of experience working with families where parents live in fear of their own children, along with her expertise in crisis intervention and de-escalation strategies.This conversation addresses the uncomfortable reality that many parents face but rarely discuss—when their child becomes violent, threatening, or abusive within the home. Susan explains the difference between explosive and implosive rage, shares red flags that parents should recognize, and discusses her innovative tools like the "anger wheel" for de-escalating volatile situations. The discussion also covers how divorce and family trauma can manifest in children's behavior, when reunification therapy is appropriate, and practical strategies for families caught in these devastating cycles.What You'll Learn✔ How to recognize the difference between explosive and implosive rage in children, and why many parents miss the warning signs of escalating dangerous behavior✔ The "anger wheel" technique and other de-escalation strategies that help identify root causes of children's violent behavior and create pathways for healing✔ Why parents often hide their fear of their own children due to professional concerns, community judgment, and family dynamics, preventing them from seeking help✔ How divorce trauma and poor co-parenting communication can fuel children's anger and violent behavior, and the importance of "good divorce" practices✔ When to pursue reunification therapy versus other interventions, and how to determine the best custody arrangements when children are struggling with anger and violenceWhere to Find Susan MagestroLearn more about Susan's work and access her resources, including her book "Raging From Within" and upcoming YouTube tutorials on the anger wheel technique.

Welcome, all rapture survivors and fellow heathens! We may have been left behind for our sins, but we might as well try to make things better here on Earth while we can, and it all starts with combatting dangerous medical misinformation spewed forth by the brainworm-addled muppets in charge.    This episode, we're diving deep into the controversial topic of Tylenol and autism. We're taking a closer look at the Trump administration's disingenuous interpretation of the Harvard Tylenol study, discussing the many potential dangers of pregnant people forgoing necessary medications due to fearmongering, reading a long-term study out of Sweden showing a genetic rather than medicinal correlation to autism, and reminding you all that autism is a naturally occurring brain difference and not a disease needing a cure.  Resources  UC Davis MIND Institute statement on acetaminophen and autism Acetaminophen is Safe for Children When Taken as Directed, No Link to Autism Does Tylenol Cause Autism?

Spooktoberfest takes a super-heroic turn as we shine a light on 1990's Darkman. Directed by the amazing Sam Raimi over a decade before he tackled Spider-Man, Darkman features a very different sort of crimefighter. Dr. Peyton Westlake is busy developing a revolutionary “synthetic skin” intended to treat burn victims, but the substance is unable to handle prolonged exposure to light. Westlake is soon forced to don his own creation after being attacked and disfigured by crime boss Robert G. Durant. Dead to the world, Westlake adopts a variety of new faces as he sabotages Durant's operation from within. Westlake uncovers a larger scheme involving the ambitious real estate mogul Louis Strack, who has his eyes on Westlake's girlfriend Julie. Desperate to rebuild his life with Julie, Westlake continues fighting and forging new masks. But as “Darkman” emerges from the shadows of Westlake's mind, how much of a future can the doctor hope to have?

When Francis Ford Coppola shoots you an email asking you to transform his new movie into a comic book, you say yes and worry about the details later. Chris Ryall got the email. Once he got over the shock ot it, he immediately knew who to contact next: Comic Book Couples Counseling regular, Jacob Phillips. They couldn't have possibly understood what an undertaking they were committing to during those early days, but nearly five years later, they have the Megalopolisgraphic novel in their hands. It's something special. As you'll hear on this week's podcast, Francis Ford Coppola wanted Ryall and Phillips to make the comic their own. If that meant chopping up the script or fabricating the designs, so be it. Jacob Phillips approaches the likenesses the way he would any corporate comic character. If he were on Batman, he'd do his version of Batman. So, he'd apply the same logic to Adam Driver. The actor is the design, but the pencils and inks belong to Phillips. The magic is in how the movie and the comic, crafted independently of each other, aligned so well together. Chatting with Ryall and Phillips allowed us to celebrate both artistic mediums. We discuss the challenges of translating cinematic ideas onto panels, the need for repertoire stories, and the hope within Francis Ford Coppola's humanism. Before all that, however, we also discuss the new documentary, Shopping for Superman. Directed by Wes Eastin, the film travels across America, from one comic book shop to another. It's a must-watch for every comic book reader, as it honors the industry while contemplating where it's all going in the wake of Diamond Comic Distributors' destruction. Megalopolis, the comic, is published by Abrams ComicArts and arrives in shops on October 7th. Make sure you're following Chris Ryall on his Substack, Instagram, and Blue Sky. Also, follow Jacob Phillips on Instagram and Blue Sky. This Week's Sponsors Launching this October, it's the latest entry in IDW Publishing's Kei-Sei line of Godzilla comics: Starship Godzilla, a cosmic adventure.

Insta-Classic). The Kai-Sei Era is the only ongoing Godzilla story of its kind, crafted for comics readers who have never bought a Godzilla book and Godzilla fans who have never read a comic.

The filmmaker Steven Feinartz ("The Bitter Buddha") makes his first appearance on the podcast. His new documentary is called "Are We Good?". "Are We Good?", which premiered out of SXSW Film & TV Festival and screened out of Tribeca Festival is not a biopic, nor is it a stand-up routine film – it is a look at one person's process through grief told with honesty, humanity, and humor. The touching documentary not only dives into the career and life of comedian and podcast pioneer Marc Maron but focuses on his process grieving the loss of his partner Lynn Shelton who passed during Covid, as well as his relationship with his declining father. Like Marc, the doc beautifully balances humor and heart and shows us that even during times of grief there is room for laughter. https://youtu.be/l583VoPYn3o "Are We Good?" features exclusive interviews for the film with comics such as Nate Bargatze, John Mulaney, David Cross, Michaela Watkins, W. Kamau Bell, Laurie Kilmartin, Sam Lipsyte, Brendan McDonald as well as obtain podcast footage from Marc's interviews with President Barack Obama, Andrew Garfield, Patton Oswalt and many more. Directed by Steven Feinartz who is an established filmmaker with over 15 comedy specials and series including "Matt Braunger: Big Dumb Animal", "Eddie Pepitone: In Ruins", "Sklar Brothers: Hipster Ghosts" and "The Comedy Show Show". Steven also directed Marc's recent special "Marc Maron: Panicked" for HBO. Utopia will release the film in theaters in NY and LA on October 3rd and nationwide theatrical events on October 5th & 8th. The theatrical releasee will coincide with the end of Maron's enormously popular podcast WTF. 16 years in, WTF is one of the most streamed and longest running podcasts of all time.

On the evening of November 30, 1989, Linda Napolitano awoke in her lower Manhattan apartment to find herself unable to move. She felt as though she was in the presence of other individuals, then she began to lift off her bed and was transported, as though by unseen hands, out her bedroom window several floors up, before being abducted into an unidentified aircraft. Linda Napolitano is one of countless people who claim to have been abducted and experimented on by extraterrestrials; however, she is one of very few whose abduction was witnessed by nearly two dozen strangers in one of the busiest cities in the world. According to ufologist Budd Hopkins, Napolitano's abduction has produced irrefutable evidence of extraterrestrial life, but more importantly, he believes Linda's case is proof of a larger and more insidious plan to eradicate humanity altogether.The Manhattan Alien Abduction case is among a small number of heavily researched and well-documented cases of supposed alien abduction in American history, but it is not without its critics. In the years following Linda's abduction, a dramatic story has unfolded, pitting skeptics and believers against one another in surprising and deeply personal ways.Thank you to the Amazing Dave White (of BRING ME THE AXE PODCAST) for research and writing assistance!ReferencesHopkins, Budd. 1996.
