Episode 412: The Crew’s wishing the full length Dracula musical existed while watching Nicholas Stoller’s Forgetting Sarah Marshall. This funny and heartwarming rom-com is Jason Segel’s first starring role in a feature film, which he wrote himself. The script is honest with some great performances. The Crew discusses…

Episode 411: The Crew’s wondering where the full moon went while watching Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man. Whannell’s second Universal Monster adaptation isn’t as good as his Invisible Man, but the movie moves fast, and adds plenty of scares and some good body horror moments (à la Cronenberg’s The Fly). The Crew has some problems with the character development. They discuss…

Episode 410: The Crew’s pretty sure this is Tarantino’s favorite werewolf movie (cause the transformation scene is just feet) while watching George Waggner’s The Wolf Man. This atmospheric 1941 film is missing some of the famous werewolf lore (no full moon), but adding to it as well (needing silver to kill the beast). The Crew discusses…

Episode 409: The Crew’s a little confused on the vampire rules in Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu. Rules aside, the Crew’s excited for the fourth film from Mr. Eggers, after one of the best directorial debuts of all time with The Witch. It’s technically impressive and all the performances are pitch perfect, but some of the Crew has problems with the film’s runtime.

Episode 408: The Crew’s wondering how Keanu Reeves didn’t get fired while watching Francis Ford Coppola’s, Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Yes Reeves is horribly miscast, but everyone else is great. The costumes really standout in a film with so many memorable moments and shots. And this may be the most faithful adaptation of the novel; the only big change is the love story, which was added for this film. The Crew discusses…

Episode 407: The Crew’s going silent while watching F.W. Murnau’s Nosferatu. This 1922 German silent film was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Stoker’s widow sued and the court ordered all prints to be destroyed. But like a vampire, the film has been resurrected, or restored from a few surviving prints. And thank god, cause the film set the blueprint for vampire films and loads of horror films to come. The Crew discusses…

Episode 406: The Crew’s glad Ridley Scott finally got a rhino in the colosseum. This 24 year awaited sequel is out in theaters, and the Crew has some questions about the plot and character development, but zero issues with the production values. Worth the wait? The Crew discusses…

Episode 405: The Crew’s winning the mob while watching Ridley Scott’s Gladiator. This Best Picture winner announced to the world that Russell Crowe was a movie star. He went on to win Best Actor that year and enjoyed a decade of box office hits. Ridley Scott got a career resurgence after a series of box office disappointments or flat out disasters. But does this film hold up after more than twenty years? The Crew discusses…

Episode 404: The Crew’s eating their favorite Texas BBQ while watching Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. This low budget horror flick spawned a franchise and made Tobe Hooper a household name among horror fans. Hooper made the low budget work for the film; the grain and handheld camerawork add to the sense of dread. But make no mistake, this film has incredible dolly shots and the sound is phenomenal. The Crew discusses…

Episode 403: The Crew’s lost in the sewers while watching Carol Reed’s The Third Man. This film was voted Best British film of all time by the BFI, and the direction and photography are really strong. But the plot is thin, don’t think about it and stare at the pretty pictures. The Crew discusses…
