    Alien: Romulus (2024)

    The Disney era of the 'Alien' franchise has begun, and with it comes a whole new approach to the venerable series. Do these movies work better when you throw money at them? Is an interquel inherently nostalgia-focused? Can you succeed artistically after making the single most misguided and horrifically amoral creative decision in the history of cinema? Let's just say some of these questions answer themselves... but for the rest, you'll have to listen in!

    Pray (2005)

    I'm guessing you haven't heard of this movie. In fact, I'm guessing nobody's heard of this movie. I hadn't heard of this movie until I found it waiting to be purchased, which sounds like a horror movie in and of itself, and it's dropped into obscurity so thoroughly that I'm the first person in 21 years to point out that the title is a mistranslation. So let's begin the rehabilitation of 'Pray' now, shall we?

    Prey (2022)

    Sometimes the best things hit when you don't expect them. Everyone pretty much thought the Predator franchise was done and dusted after the failure of 2018's 'The Predator', but sometimes all it takes is one good creator with a good idea, and a ton of talented people who come along and hold that creator to an authentic and respectful vision of Comanche life set into a dazzling sci-fi story with plenty of twists and thrills. You know, easy, right? And if you'll listen to this episode, you'll find out what made it all work!

    My Sucky Teen Romance (2011)

    I'm celebrating another big milestone here at HPH - my 250th episode! - and I figured, what better way to do it than with a movie shot at least in part in my hometown? So join me for the story of a group of teens that go to their last big sci-fi con together... and run into vampires, heartbreak, and a very irresponsible dealer's room in 'My Sucky Teen Romance'!

    The Predator (2018)

    It's pretty much universally agreed on that 2018's 'The Predator', from action auteur Shane Black, is a hot goddamn mess. But what made it such a hot mess? Is it the uncomfortable ableism? Black's decision to heavily involve his buddy Fred Dekker in the screenwriting? The big revelations about the reasons behind the Predators' visits to Earth that absolutely nobody liked? The reshot and reworked third act? That disastrous MCU-style stinger? There's so much to discuss here... and lucky you, HPH is here to cover all of it!

    The Tingler (1959)

    What's not to love about 'The Tingler'? It's got William Castle and his most famous theater gimmick, Vincent Price at the beginning of his big horror style era, and all the subtext you could ever want about 50s repression! Come on in and spend a little time with HPH on the most fun you can ever have being scared... and if it gets to be too much, just scream for your life!

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    And so the Star Trekkification of the 'Alien' franchise is complete, with a movie that's named after the ship it's set on and a plot that's straight out of the first season TNG episode "Datalore". But does that make it bad? Can those two tones be merged successfully? Is there a reason why they cast James Franco in this movie? Listen to this episode and find out!

    Sinners (2025)

    This one was a long time in the making, but a movie this important deserves a lot of conversation. So get ready for a big discussion of the Jim Crow South, organized religion's role in perpetuating its oppression, cultural appropriation and intersectionality, and oh yes FRIGGING VAMPIRES, as we discuss Ryan Coogler's landmark cinematic achievement 'Sinners'!
