Joining KJ and Meredith this week are two first time guests Alyssa and Meg. This week's episode leads to the most complicated and potentially controversial death count segment to date, thanks to alternate realities, demonic viruses, and the humanization of an angel. Meredith gives us the 4-1-1 on Lucifer in the mythology segment, while KJ alternates between gratitude for Sam's socks and a plea for ethical non-monogamy in the event of post-apocalyptic life. CW Episode Description: Sam tells Dean he wants to rejoin Dean in the battle of the Apocalypse, but Dean tells Sam that they are better off apart. Later, Dean awakens five years in the future in an abandoned city and is attacked by humans who have been infected with a demonic virus that turns humans into Zombies. Zachariah (guest star Kurt Fuller) appears to Dean and explains that this is the world that exists as a result of Dean saying no to helping the angels fight Lucifer. Dean meets up with Future Dean, who tells him that the virus is the Devil's endgame for destroying mankind. Misha Collins also stars.Episode recorded on November 29, 2024Linktree including sign up sheet to be on the podcast and our Discord server: https://linktr.ee/SupernaturalOpinionsPodcastFind our cohost Meredith on tiktok, instagram and Tumblr: shaedsofdeianeiraGuest social medias: Meg: meganlulu5 on twitter and tiktokAlyssa: alyssarabil on instagram and tumblr, and her website: keelta.com Down to Agincourt by seperis: https://archiveofourown.org/series/110651

KJ and Meredith are sitting down with fellow Pod Squad member August (Saving People, Queering Things) and first time guest Nell (Totally Normal About That) to talk about this very destiel-heavy episode of the CW's Supernatural. There are two things we know this week: Bert and Ernie are gay, and so are Dean and Cas. KJ does in depth analysis about Sam's sleeping positions. The crew gives some advice on how best to interact with new co-workers without causing an HR incident. CW Episode Description: Not sure he trusts himself anymore, Sam decides to give up hunting, but a late-night visitor (guest star Adrianne Palicki) won't let him off the hook that easily. Dean, intent on stopping the Apocalypse, continues hunting on his own and teams up with Castiel to find the Archangel Raphael, as Castiel believes Raphael knows God's location.Episode recorded on November 23, 2024Linktree including sign up sheet to be on the podcast and our Discord server: https://linktr.ee/SupernaturalOpinionsPodcastFind our cohost Meredith on tiktok, instagram and Tumblr: shaedsofdeianeiraGuest social medias:Nell: twitter and bluesky - NelsonsmynameTotally Normal About That Podcast: twitter and bluesky - TotallyNormalATAugust: astralspock on all platformsSaving People, Queering Things Podcast: https://queeringthingspodcast.wordpress.com/Queering People, Saving Throws: A D&D Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/5aT8JB12nkFadxsR5SmXov?si=44beb8a32aa64502

“One thing I've found in the crime genre is that homicides are always interesting. When somebody's killed, whatever that case may be, it's usually compelling drama. So then it's up to you as the writer to surprise the audience and do things that they didn't think were coming. I've described it like this before: If you can hit the sweet spot of, ‘I didn't see that coming! I should have seen it coming, but I didn't see it coming,' That, to me, is the best writing. It's like, when you got to the end of The Sixth Sense, and you were like, ‘Oh my god, I should have seen that coming!' That was great writing,” says Derek Haas, creator and writer for the show Countdown on Prime.  You may know Derek Haas from the popular NBC procedural dramas like Chicago Med, Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. Now, he's got a new crime drama on Prime called Countdown that tells one twisty crime story over 13 episodes – all written by Haas. Set in Los Angeles, Countdown follows a secret task force who discover a sinister international plot that threatens millions of lives. The show stars Eric Dane, Jensen Ackles and Jessica Camacho as undercover agents all harboring dark secrets of their own.  On this episode of the podcast, we chat with Haas about starting his career as a crime novelist, writing movies like 2 Fast 2 Furious, 3:10 to Yuma and Wanted before making the switch to TV. Haas talks about working with director John Singleton, prolific TV producer Dick Wolf and writing characters that hook audiences. He also shares his advice for writing action sequences that both stun visually and surprise the audience.  “When I think about action sequences, I always go back to Raiders of the Lost Ark. My favorite action sequence of any movie ever is when Indiana Jones has to fight this gigantic Nazi guy, and – in any other movie – that would have been the only thing that's happening. But they put Marion in a plane where she gets trapped because the cover of the plane closes. Then the plane's propellers start spinning. The plane starts spinning, gas is leaking out of the plane, there's other people running by with machine guns. So it's not just, ‘Oh, here's a fight,' it's ‘Here's a fight, but there's eight other things happening at once.' I really try to do that in these chase sequences, because you have seen a million of them. What's the other factors I can bring to it? How can I show you something you haven't seen before? Sometimes it's character, and sometimes, it's the stunt itself,” says Haas.  To hear more screenwriting advice from Haas, listen to the podcast.

Dan Loges delivers the latest entertainment news on:- Gene Hackman's tragic sudden death.- The Boys reunion of Supernatural stars Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins.- Shrek 5 teaser trailer released has fans nervous.

You're Listening to Parallax Views https://parallaxviews.podbean.com/ Support the Show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/parallaxviews On this edition of Parallax Views, it's Valentine's Day Parallax Views special! And to celebrate the J.G. decided to dig up an interview that was previously unreleased related to holiday. In 1981, George Mihalka's Canadian slasher My Bloody Valentine hit theaters. In the years since it has become a cult classic, enough so, in fact, to get a Hollywood remake in 2009 directed by Wes Craven protege Patrick Lussier & starring heartthrob Jensen Ackles from the hit TV show Supernatural. The original movie, in which a town known as Valentine Bluffs experiences a series of murders seemingly committed by a vengeful, deranged miner known as Harry Warden, has never received a proper sequel. Fans of the movie, however, came together to get a professionally done, feature-length fan sequel. It's called Valentine Bluffs: A My Bloody Valentine Fan Film and even features a guest starring performance from Troma's Lloyd Kaufman as the Mayor of Valentine Bluffs. It features all the bloody mayhem one would expect from a sequel to My Bloody Valentine, and, best of all for fans of 80s horror, features lovingly made practical effects rather than CGI. In this previously unreleased interview, I speak with director and special effects artist Tom Smith and lead actress Rachel Keefe about Valentine Bluffs: A My Bloody Valentine Fan Film in-depth! You can view the fan film for free on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIIOv49awUU. Near the end of the conversation Rachel talks about her upcoming role in Joe Lam's horror movie The Fetus. As it turns out, The Fetus is set to be released next month, March 2025, and, in addition to Rachel Keefe, stars Terrifier 2 and Terrifier 3's Lauren LaVera as well as genre stalwart Bill Moseley from Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects, and Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre! All that and more on this edition of Parallax Views!
