Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions Podcast Spencer Mattinson

It is officially Liz, Max, & Spencer go to Summer Camp on the pod (as we discuss in THIS episode. First up is another genre draft, where we each try to pick the 4 best representations of movie themes that we chose: Spencer with Steven Spielberg movies (with an added 5th of his best produced movie), Max with Nicholas Cage movies, and Liz with movies that take place (or have scenes at) a summer camp. It might be summer, but listen and grade our picks to see who is the best picker of them all!

It's officially Summer Blockbuster season! Liz joins for Season 9's opening episode to discuss the entire summer movie slate: From our next MCU sequel, to the animated slate, to multiple legacy sequels, to the great horror lineup, this summer has it all! Hopefully this helps you mark your calendar for your next movie night out!

This episode is a tribute to one of the all time greats. Roger Corman, the King of Cult, passed away at 98 years old, and we take this brief episode to discuss the impact and legacy of a man who helped start so many iconic careers, and whose love of cinema shone brightly for almost 100 years. Thank you for everything, Roger.

A Long Long Time Ago, Theresa and Host Spencer talked about the Original Trilogy. It's now May again, which means she is subjected to more space fights, Skywalkers, and Lightsaber battles. But this time with MORE CG. We dive into it all: the cringey lines, the EPIC lightsaber duels, and the Darth Jar Jar theory. We promise we like these movies... except Attack of the Clones. What were you doing George?

Now normally we don't like doing new movie reviews, but when a remake of a Universal Monster movie comes out, and it has Dan Stevens, and it's done by Radio Silence, and there is SO MUCH BLOOD, well then we have to cover it on the pod! Liz joins in on the fun to talk about the newest addition to vampire movies, Abigail. Unlike the titular vampire, this movie doesn't suck. Go watch it and listen to our review of this vampiric romp.

April Fools from the pod! For ONE NIGHT ONLY we are a music pod, and Max & Gavin join the show to find out who is the best American Rock Band of All Time. We had to do a for radio edit of this podcast, because the original was like a Grateful Dead song: it just kept going and didn't want to end. From Sublime to The Stooges, and from Heart to Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, we go in depth to find out who stands alone at the American Rock Mountaintop.
