#164: Joey and Myles Celebrate 'Thanksgiving' and Talk 'The Color Purple' Along With Discussing the Fall of Superhero Films

For episode 164, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes (Steve Prusakowski continues behind the scenes as producer and technical guru). This time, we had to delay our special guest Michael Kennedy (who I interviewed here) by another week, but it's still our Thanksgiving episode! How did we celebrate? Well, by talking about Eli Roth's Thanksgiving (reviewed here), of course. There's also more discussion of The Marvels, (my review of which is here) alongside a broader back and forth about the seeming decline of superhero films. Throw in a David Fincher ranking (mine is here), some of your questions, and my take on The Color Purple, and it's as filling an episode as ever...

#163: Joey and Myles Talk 'The Holdovers,' 'The Iron Claw,' 'The Killer,' 'Napoleon,' 'Thanksgiving,' And More!

For episode 163, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes (Steve Prusakowski continues behind the scenes as producer and technical guru). This time around, we had to delay our special guest Michael Kennedy (who I interviewed here) by a week, but we still spoke about his film It's a Wonderful Knife (here). Myles chimed in there, as well as with The Holdovers (reviewed here) and The Killer (reviewed here), plus the finale of Loki (which led to me catching him up on The Marvels, my review of which is here). The former leads to a chat about Alexander Payne (who I interviewed here) and Election. Then, I got into the rest of the Oscar players I've been watching, including The Iron Claw and Napoleon (reviewed here). Throw in Thanksgiving (reviewed here) and it's a film catch-up extravaganza...

#162: a Legend of Zelda Film + De Niro/DiCaprio/Scorsese, and More

For episode 162, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes (Steve Prusakowski continues behind the scenes as producer and technical guru). This week, we have a hodgepodge of items to tackle, including some video game chatter! That's centered around the upcoming film adaptation of The Legend of Zelda. We attempt to cast it, before talking about the best work from Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Martin Scorsese. There's also some spoiler-y talk about the Killers of the Flower Moon ending, so be warned there. We take questions, come up with Myles' January movie marathon (Joey's January, baby), and more. It's so packed we actually forgot to talk The Marvels, so be sure to check out my review of the movie here. It's a good episode, start to finish, though we recorded it on Tuesday night, prior to the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike, so that's why we didn't address that, just as an FYI...

For episode 161, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes (Steve Prusakowski continues behind the scenes as producer and technical guru), alongside a returning Kendall Tinston. As always, if Kendall is here, horror is on the docket. Today is out Halloween spooktacular, where we wrap up Myles' 31 Days of Halloween / Horror marathon, including a discussion of It Follows, which is getting a sequel. There's also some Five Nights at Freddy's chatter, which Kendall loved, but I did not (my review is here), as well as Anatomy of a Fall (raved about by yours truly here), alongside David Fincher's The Killer (likewise a rave here).

Today, you can hear more spooky season talk, as well as an extended discussion of Killers of the Flower Moon (reviewed here by yours truly).

This week, we're continuing to look at Myles’ 31 Days of Horror viewing choices, while also putting a bow on my festival season. You can see the best of my New York Film Festival here, including my take here on David Fincher's The Killer.

This week, we catch up on Myles' 31 Days of Horror efforts, including a long bit on The Frighteners, as well as some of things I've seen. They include Dicks: The Musical (here), Priscilla (here), The Royal Hotel (here), and V/H/S/85 (here). Plus, we try out Rotten Tomatoes: The Game!

For episode 157, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes (Steve Prusakowski continues behind the scenes as producer and technical guru), alongside the return of Kendall Tinston. If Kendall is here, you know it must be time to talk Saw. Yes, this is largely a Saw X discussion (my review is here), though we also talk about the franchise on the whole (including our rankings, mine being here), in addition to some 31 Days of Horror chatter. Outside of Saw, we take your questions, I mention my recent New York Film Festival screenings of May December (here), Foe (here), and Maestro (here), plus more. So, it's bloody good times all around...

This time around, I tell Myles about Saw X (my review of which is here), while he teases out his 31 Days of Horror viewing plans. Beyond that, we also talk about The Creator (reviewed here), my time in California last week previewing Disney's Wish (read about that here), the end of the WGA strike, and take a whole host of your questions.

#153: Joey Tells Myles About Telluride Before Previewing TIFF

For episode 153, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes (Steve Prusakowski continues behind the scenes as producer and technical guru). This time, it's a film festival-centric show. We start by spending a bunch of time talking about the Telluride Film Festival. I summarized my time at Telluride here, so check that out, but Myles was most keen to hear about Poor Things, which led to more time spent on that film than the others. Then, we preview the Toronto International Film Festival, going over which TIFF movies we're most intrigued bu. Throw in your questions and it's a far more disciplined episode than normal, for what that's worth...

For episode 151, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes (Steve Prusakowski continues behind the scenes as producer and technical guru). This time around, we're talking a lot about the impending film festival season. Chiefly, it's the Telluride Film Festival, which I wrote a bit about yesterday here. We get into what might be playing there, as well as the potential prizes that will be given out. Factor in some questions and a digression or two? Yeah, it's exactly what you all expect out of us...

For episode 150 (wow, 150 strong!), I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes (Steve Prusakowski continues behind the scenes as producer and technical guru). This time around, Myles and I stumble upon the fun that is the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards (organically, too). We take more of your questions, talk a bit about the upcoming film festival slates, and disagree on The Last Voyage of the Demeter. We rarely fall so far afield of each other, so this should be fun for you all (my review of the movie is here). It's a medium sized episode, length-wise, but full of good stuff...

For episode 149, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes (Steve Prusakowski continues behind the scenes as producer and technical guru). This week, we’re catching up on some of your questions, talking more about the Saw X trailer (which I wrote about here for Sunday Scaries), and doubling back on titles like Talk to Me (reviewed here) and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (reviewed here).

For episode 147, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes (Steve Prusakowski continues behind the scenes as producer and technical guru). This week, we’re continuing the Barbenheimer discussion. Myles just did the trendy double feature this past weekend, while I’ve seen and reviewed both Barbie (here) and Oppenheimer (here). This time we're diving deep, so beware of some mild spoilers. Plus, Myles reviews the Barbenheimer experience, taking it in as so many of you clearly did.

For episode 145, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes (Steve Prusakowski once again has the week off from on-air duties, as he was handling Emmy nominations yesterday morning). This time around, we're going off on the studios as the Screen Actors Guild has gone on strike. We remain Union Strong, obviously. In addition, we talk about Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One a bunch (my review is here), as well as our franchise rankings (mine is here). It's a mix of raging at corporate A.I. related greed and our admiration for the Tom Cruise action franchise.

There's also plenty of questions from you all. Fair warning, I'm extremely exhausted, so it could be a bit of a loopy episode...

For episode 135, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes (fellow co-host Steve Prusakowski was busy being a good father). This time around, we're talking about the Writer's Strike.

Then, I set the stage for Myles to see Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (my rave review is here). Plus, we get in a little Stars Wars chatter here on May the 4th.

In addition to discussing that movie in spoiler-filled depths, we talk Evil Dead Rise (reviewed here) and also have some of your questions, plus more. Myles lost power part way through, so he's not on the entire episode, but he's there for all of our movie review chatter...
