We finish off our deep dive into Neveldine/Taylor territory this week with a discussion of the pair’s final film, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. There’s lots of fire, decay, demons, and Nicolas Cage insanity here, as well as the classic Neveldine/Taylor visual style. Throttle up, grab a glass of jelly beans, and join us for a wild ride!

This week we delve further into the Neveldine/Taylor filmography with 2009’s Gamer. This is a strange film with exceptional amounts of sex and violence that nonetheless has a lot to say about society, and seems to have aged surprisingly well. We also cover Matt’s gradual descent into insanity as the film Rock of Ages (2012) consumes his very soul. Don’t get played, check out this week’s Buzzed on Movies!

We’re back, and this week we’re talking about something new that isn’t horror! This week kicks off our new series on the highly idiosyncratic directing duo Neveldine/Taylor, beginning with their best known films: Crank (2006) and Crank 2: High Voltage (2009). Get ready for high octane action, ridiculous stunts, ludicrous characters, and some of the strangest action scenes ever set to film. In other words, get ready to Crank it!

And so it comes down to this: our final Halloween episode. This week we’re covering Rob Zombie’s contributions to the franchise, Halloween (2007) and Halloween 2 (2009). Both follow the basic story of the franchise while adding a whole lot of that trademark Rob Zombie flair. Get ready for crazy characters, filthy dialogue, and a whole lot of redneck rock-n-roll carnival weirdness!

We’re still on Halloween this week, this time discussing Halloween H20: 20 Years Later and Halloween: Resurrection. These are two very different movies, the former marking a return to the tone and characters that made the original so effective, while the latter is just pure zaniness. We have a lot of fun with both in their own way, and we hope you will too!

We delve into new territory this week with Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers. There’s a lot of craziness in these installments, from a gun-happy posse, to goofy cops, to a mysterious man in black. And of course, there are many killings. Come join us for another quarantine-induced week of Halloween in Spring!

Did anything big happen this past week? We haven’t really been paying attention. Oh…
In this episode we cover the effects of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic on the film industry and movie theater industry, and discuss our plans for a near future without movie theaters, all while trying not to cry. We also discuss the brilliant film The Invisible Man, which we managed to catch before they closed the theaters, and which will soon be available on demand. Stay safe out there folks, there’s many more movies ahead!

About Us
We're a couple of former projectionists who still enjoy practically living at the movie theater even though we don't work there anymore. We believe that movies are about the communal experience, sharing what you love and not getting too hung up on what you don't. We also believe there's no better way to share our love of movies than over a couple drinks, and we hope you'll come along for the ride!
