Pet Sematary (1989): Denise "the Semen Demon" Crosby

Yup! We're back after a visit to the cemetery and BOY! are our tails tired. This week, we're discussing the original 'Pet Sematary,' based on the novel by Stephen King. Specifically, we're talking about how the main character gets progressively (regressively?) dumber and makes the wrong choices, despite having the most warning in any horror film we can think of; where the scares in this movie went wrong; the horrors of working in a call center; and the origins of the mythical semen demon. PLUS! Listen-in to hear 3 childless morons talk about teaching your kids about death, how annoying it is when movies pander to the audience, and some behind-the-scenes info (like how Bruce Campbell is related to this movie).

The Trial (1962): That's My Pornograph

Don't you just hate when you're woken up by a stranger saying you're guilty and going through your pornograph? It really sets the tone for the whole day. Next thing you know, three of your silent co-workers are probably ratting you out, your neighbor moves and doesn't want anything to do with you, your uncle is showing up to your work uninvited, and you either have to rely on a bed-ridden Orson Welles or a guy who threatens little p*ssies with icepicks. Welcome to Franz Kafka's 'The Trial' directed by Orson Welles.

Jekyll and Hyde...Together Again (1982): Sex, Drugs, and Tim Thomerson

The theme for this month is 'Learning the Wrong Lesson' and Linda's kicking us off with her recommendation - a childhood favorite and Donnie's and her's: 'Jekyll and Hyde...Together Again'. It's a comedy from 1982 that reimagines the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde story with drugs, sex, and Tim Thomerson! If you watch it before listening to the episode, you will also be wondering why Mark Blankfield isn't a huge celebrity, why those jugs look so familiar, and...is that Angela Chase's mom in 'My So-Called Life'?! Join the Videorama staff as they share details on some of the cast and crew, uncover a very special cameo in the movie, and everyone learns why Linda and Donnie are so damn screwed up.

As the Gods Will (2014): Blood Marbles and Cat Bells

Linda's good friend (a staff member from another Videorama branch), Joanie Rich, joins the staff to discuss her recommendation for this month's theme of 'Lesser Known Killer-Doll Movies' - a thoroughly entertaining Japanese horror/sci-fi/fantasy film, "As the Gods Will"! Joanie teaches us about the Daruma doll, Maneki-neko (those awesome cats with the waving paw), and Kokeshi dolls; Donnie dresses up as a child-hood hero (hint for the next episode!); Adrian shares his love for the director (Takashi Miike); and Linda discusses the accusations that fans have spun of 'Squid Game' plagiarizing the movie (which seem like total BS). Check out Joanie's zine, 'You Can Make Games', and her games at https://bubblyoasis.itch.io/ and drop her a line at https://twitter.com/BubblyOasis!

Asylum (1972): With Meth Focus

This week, Adrian is presenting his recommendation for Lesser-Known Killer Doll Movies, 'Asylum', starring Peter Cushing, Barbara Parkins, Britt Ekland, Patrick Magee, Charlotte Rampling, and Robert Powell! Adrian teaches us about a practical effect used in the movie (as well as in 'Superman' and '2001: A Space Odyssey') that makes the suit glow live, rather than adding the effect in post. Linda and Adrian discuss their undying and unconditional love for Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin and Donnie starts up a conversation about who REALLY created the song 'Weird Science.' Was it Aretha Franklin, The Pointer Sisters, or Billy Holiday?

Magic (1978): Dishwasher Clown

This week, it's Linda's turn to share her recommendation (actually, credit goes to her husband) for Killer Doll movie, it's Lord Richard Attenborough's 1978 film, 'Magic', featuring a young(er) Sir Anthony Hopkins; the goddess that is Ann-Margret; and that lovable scamp, Burgess Meredith! Both the screenplay and the novel it was based on were written by William Goldman (YES! The guy who wrote 'The Princess Bride', 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid', 'Marathon Man', and 'All The President's Men' just to name a few!) Join as Linda shares some behind-the-scenes info (for instance, did you know that Lord Attenborough originally wanted Sir Hopkins to play Ghandi?! Seriously. It was a whole thing.), Donnie shares how Linda is a gremlin irl, Adrian shares the box-office stats and sings (?!), we fix the 'Saw' franchise by casting Oliver Platt and putting his games on YouTube (also, he might be a car), and Donnie slathers some ectoplasm and whipped butter on his porcine figure! Don't miss it!

Trigger Warning: There are too many trigger warnings to list for this episode and we would like to offer our deepest, most sincere apologies both to you, the listener, and to Aaron Eckhart. We are very much ashamed of what we've said and at what we've laughed, unless you're into that sort of thing, Mr. Eckhart, in which case, we would like to offer up our deepest, most sincere, "Oh, hello." Donnie is kicking off our new month and new topic of 'Lesser-Known Killer Doll Movies (nope, no Charles Band movies)' with his choice: 'Making Contact' (aka 'Joey') (1985). Join us as Adrian shares some behind-the-scenes information, Donnie shares, an important Reddit page, and Linda both learns how sex works with men and argues for the eradication of child labor laws.
