Welcome to the Halloween season! We kick off this spooky time of year by discussing a couple horror movies you can currently find in theaters: Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and Ready or Not. We also discuss some current movie news, which includes our ceaseless dragging of both Moviepass and Disney+. Prepare for scares!

This one’s a bit of a rattlesnake, but we sure did have a lot to say about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood! Also, see what we think of some recent movie news, including topics relevant to Fast and the Furious, Dora the Explorer, and Lady and the Tramp. As the saying goes: record drunk, edit sober!

What happens when things go wrong at a movie theater? A recent incident involving multiple fire alarms inspires us to explore that topic, both from the perspective of the audience and the projection staff. We also discuss the films Spider-Man: Far From Home and Lion King, and discuss their places in their respective Disney franchises. Suffice to say, we’re a bit tired of Disney’s live action remakes! Finally, we want to make sure everyone gets a look at the new Cats trailer, because we’re certainly going to be referencing it for a long time to come: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_O8DN1CY_E

Do you like scary movies? We hope so, because we have two of them to discuss this week. This time we’re discussing two very different horror films that are in theaters right now: Midsommar and Crawl. Inspired by some of our recent viewings, we also discuss what happens when something goes wrong at a movie theater. And of course somehow we end up discussing Eli Roth for ten minutes. Get ready to feel the fear on this week’s installment of Buzzed on Movies!

We are finally completely done with Saw (mostly) and we have a bit of catching up to do! This week we experiment with a new fast-paced format for Buzzed on Movies, and give you our brief impressions of some of the films we’ve been watching while we worked on our Saw series. We discuss Avengers: Endgame, Brightburn, and Booksmart, as well as giving our thoughts on Disney’s live-action remakes. Give us a listen, and try to drink along!
P.S.: Jigsaw always has a way of coming back!

Just like Jigsaw himself, is the Saw series ever truly finished? In this episode we discuss the unusual reboot of the series, 2017’s Jigsaw. Are those laser cutters a real thing? Someone please let us know. We also briefly discuss the impact of the series as a whole, as well as some strange Saw fanfic we found online.
That very strange moment in history when Jigsaw rang the NYSE opening bell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGiMEp9X61c
A small sample of the unusual world of Saw fanfic:

At long last, it’s come to this - Saw 3D: The Final Chapter (?). Here we find out what happens to you if you pretend to be a former Jigsaw victim to sell self-help books, or if you and your friends are all racists. There’s campy clapping, cheesy 3D effects, and one final glorious key drop to beat them all! All this and more on this final (?) installment of Buzzsaw Movies!

It’s the one we’ve all been waiting for: the HEALTHCARE SAW! This installment is truly a product of its time, perfectly encapsulating the late 2000s healthcare debate. It is also the best of the later installments of Saw, and it poses the difficult question: can we truly have empathy for healthcare executives? Find out in the latest installment of Buzzsaw Movies!

Saw V has fewer of the twists and turns we’ve come to associate with the series, but in their place we’re given a wealth of illuminating backstory and some gut wrenching traps. We’re halfway through the Saw franchise, and still going strong! We even talk about some current movies in this episode! I’m still not sure why we had to record two episodes this week, Matt was really weird about it…

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!
