Podcast appearances and mentions of frank bannister

     This week- we celebrate our 400th episode with a four pack of films, each tailored to our individual tastes. Apparently, we all like crime. A lot.     When Drew returns home after a long time away, this adoptive sister lover concocts a plan to escape with the addict of his eye. Even if it means murdering their adoptive father. Unfortunately, Papa isn't as slow as everyone else and makes plans of his own. An early film from John Swab, a favorite filmmaker of Tyler's, about existential criminal crisis in the Bible Belt- Let Me Make You a Martyr.     Cerebral and coolheaded Detective Somerset is looking forward to retiring at the end of the week. His replacement, young and brash Detective Mills, arrives just in time for a little touch passing and training. Unfortunately for them both, this all happens just as a serial killer with a religiously inspire masterplan announces his arrival in sadistic fashion. Both a number close to Kevin's heart and widely considered on of director David Fincher's best films- Seven.     In 1964, Johnny Bartlett was executed for killing 12 people at the local hospital. In 1990 Frank Bannister's wife died under mysterious circumstances with the number "13" craved into her forehead. The trauma leaves Frank with the ability to communicate with ghosts. Now Frank leads a pack of spirited haunters and is about to learn that Bartlett's rampage might not be as far in the past as everyone assumes it it. An uneven goofy romp with deeply disturbing meta undertones, just like Dave, and the first major effects project helmed by Peter Jackson- The Frighteners.     Gal and his wife have long since left their seedy London criminal origins for a nice quiet life in Spain. When they get the news that an old psychotic associate, Don, will soon be arriving with a job offer. Unwilling to take no for an answer and with a violent temper that knows little restraint, Gal just might find himself back with the gang for one more heist. The first feature from Craig's favorite director and costarring a fistful of his favorite actors- Sexy Beast.     All that and a twist ending that leaves three of the Raiders devastated. Join us, won't you?  Episode 400- 400 (Unsimulated) Blows

On this episode, continuing with August Down Under series and heading back to New Zealand to talk about Peter Jackson's 1996 horror comedy, The Frighteners. Frank Bannister, a local con man who can see and speak with ghosts, has to stop a malevolent specter that is killing both the living and dead. Spoiler free and I give a pretty small rant about letting go. Hold my hand if you get scared, ok? The artist on my podcast playlist is The Mutton Birds.

One day, Frank discovers that a series of local murders have a gruesome connection to his past. Even stranger, the perpetrator of these crimes appears to be the Grim Reaper itself!

Happy Halloween!  'Tis the night of ghouls, ghosts, witches, goblins and pumpkins and what better way to celebrate it than to stay inside, lock the doors, hide your candy (because it's MINE!) and listen to us chat about The Frighteners?  Peter Jackson's 1996 breakout flick sees Michael J. Fox as Frank Bannister, a con man who sets up hauntings so that he can exorcise houses.  The twist?  He can actually see ghosts and he sends his deceased pals Cyrus and Stuart to throw things around.  When a hooded grim reaper figure starts killing off the townsfolk, Frank's on the case! We recommend this movie heartily, it's a good 'un. We open our episode with a discussion about bad language, so it's allowed.  Rated E for Educational.   Come for our discussion on the movie, stay for a round of "Answer Me Quickly", some slightly outdated Movie News, Trivia Corner and whatever Si's calling his VFX segment nowadays. Also, if you're looking for quality Michael J. Fox impressions…probably best to look elsewhere… Ready?  Let's have an episode.   MUSIC TRACKS Modern Funk Groove by StudioEtude.

When has there been a movie you enjoyed so much . . . you got the main character's name wrong because it resembles the protagonist of a 2000 comedic drama showcasing the life of a record store owner, and compulsive list maker, recount his top five breakups, including the one he's currently in? Huh? Who would do such a thing? Me. It's was me. I do love High Fidelity. But this time around we have our very own Marty McFly bumping around with some ghosts to the tune of Ghostbusters. What could go wrong? Oh, right. His name. I kept calling him Kevin Bannister and not his true name Frank Bannister. Fucking Kevin Bannister. HE WAS HER FIRST BOYFRIEND!!!1!111!!

The excellent supporting cast includes Trini Alvorado (LITTLE WOMEN), Jefrey Combs (REANIMATOR), JAKE BUSEY (STARSHIP TROOPERS) and Dee Wallace Stone (ET: THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL).  See you in Cozy Corner!

Continuing with our Peter Jackson series, this week we're talking all things Jackson's 1996 horror comedy, The Frighteners. Starring Michael J Fox as Frank Bannister, a man who can see ghosts and uses this ability to con unsuspecting townsfolk into paying him to perform exorcisms, The Frighteners was a box office disappointment, but has since gained a cult following. Why?

Once an architect, Frank Bannister now passes himself off as an exorcist of evil spirits. To bolster his facade, he claims his "special" gift is the result of a car accident that killed his wife. But what he does not count on is more people dying in the small town where he lives. As he tries to piece together the supernatural mystery of these killings, he falls in love with the wife of one of the victims and deals with a crazy FBI agent.
