    Godzilla (1954) - HHF4M1

    HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST IS BACK and we’re in the fourth year! “HUMPFEST” derives from when we were called “MOVIEHUMPERS” and this theme, along with “Movies Are Gay” is our most consistent. We’re doing the whole month classic style which means each day of the weekday covers a Horror sub-genre and Mondays are devoted the kaiju type. Mondays are called HERE THERE BE MONSTER MONDAYS and our first Monday in October kicks off with a discussion on the greatest of all the city destroying beast, the King of the Monsters, the original Kaiju. Of course we’re talkin’ GODZILLA, specifically the 1954 film by Ishirō Honda that kicked off the international phenomenon. What a treat to sit through this groundbreaking flick after probably not watching a Godzilla movie since we were children. It may be a man in a rubber suit, maybe the eyes look funny, but the foreboding dread and scope of destruction are captured amazingly. Not to mention the scale models and old school practical effects that are more and more becoming a thing of the past. Through the context of film history, Godzilla holds up nice so hit play on this episode and hear what else we got to say about it. This ep is kinda loosey goosey and a good amount of fun.

    House on Haunted Hill (1958) - HHF4Th1

    YEAR FOUR OF HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST BEGINS! We’re kicking this monthlong cavalcade of daily themed horror just right with a guy we’ve taken too long to get to. The horror queen…er, King himself…VINCENT PRICE. In our youth, Vincent Price was a narrative voice more than anything but now we finally sit down with five of his films, each Thursday this month, and what a good time at the movies that turned out to be. We’ll encompass three decades of the Master of the Macabre starting with this hit horror classic from 1958, “HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL”. This is an early adaptation of a story that keeps coming back around throughout the generations. Everybody has to stay in a haunted house if they want 10 grand, but it’s not just a haunted place where people were killed in bizarre ways, it’s the perfect setting for the fall of an amazing marriage. Truly, they had so much in common. They should have just died together. All of our Vincent Price selections are on Amazon Prime and even better than that some of them are free to watch online.

    New Jersey on Film - Nothing But Trouble (1991) + Ghost Towns of the Garden State

    Finally, we wrap up New Jersey for our AINT THAT AMERICA series and things got shuffled around a little bit before we decided last minute to switch to this oddball ass movie. We scrapped “Jersey Girl” and then “Paterson” for a little less North Jersey representation but truth be told the geography is haywire in the 1991 Dan Aykroyd film ‘NOTHING BUT TROUBLE” starring him, Chevy Chase, Demi Moore and John Candy. If you’ve ever seen this movie then you may never forget it but not for all the right reasons. It’s hard to explain. Go see it and then hear us talk about it and much more as we say farewell to New Jersey with a tour of its ghost towns. Where would Valkenvania be in New Jersey if it were real? Let us tell you about all of it.   28:01 - Geography, Geology and Ghost Towns of New Jersey   CREDITS “Same Song” by Digital Underground: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmFDyZ3ytg8&list=RDCmFDyZ3ytg8&start_radio=1 “Bonestripper” by Damn Yankees: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcoaxBjwCnQ&list=RDRcoaxBjwCnQ&start_radio=1 “Super Chief”  by Count Basie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1iyE5wn8zE&list=PLF7z6sStd01k92ledPJTkCPBNWp1Jv1Q8&index=2 “Living in Oblivion” by Anything Box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VI53G_D5Dbw&list=RDVI53G_D5Dbw&start_radio=1 Magnitude 4.8 Earthquake in New Jersey - Apr. 5, 2024 from Seismic Kiwi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjuZsNr17qw “The Night” by Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5wsT9StFS4&list=RDV5wsT9StFS4&start_radio=1   IG: https://www.instagram.com/theprojectorsshow/   Subscribe to THE PROJECTORS on YouTube and podcast for a plethora of movie discussions as well as weekly repostings of our very first movie podcast “Documenteers” and much much more!

    New Jersey on Film - The Wrestler (2008) + Randy the Ram's Obituary

    We’re at our penultimate New Jersey selection for our AINT THAT AMERICA series and surely we can get sadder, right? We’re heading to Asbury Park and all over Jersey from Rahway down to Wilmington, Delaware. The best city to die in bar none. As far as we can tell the 2008 film “The Wrestler” starring Mickey Rourke is Darren Aronofsky’s best movie but we’re far from experts. But pro-wrestling? That’s in the wheelhouse, brother. I gig for this shit. I put it over. So hear us talk about the saddest Jersey movie and stay to the end to hear us give Randy the Ram a proper sendoff to that great wrestling ring in the sky.   30:30 - Geography of The Wrestler 36:46 - Obituary for Randy the Ram    CREDITS Jake the Snake Roberts Shoots on “Beyond the Mat” Documentary 2014 from Title Match Wrestling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gStp7vCX9dQ “Sweet Child O’ Mine” by Guns N’ Roses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w7OgIMMRc4&list=RD1w7OgIMMRc4&start_radio=1 “Every Rose Has It’s Thorn” by Poison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2r2nDhTzO4&list=RDj2r2nDhTzO4&start_radio=1 Exploring the Historic Asbury Park Boardwalk - Weird Buildings and More! from Ray Out There: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgG7VEYaWGw “Wasted Time” by Skid Row: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYAbzJNXiJY&list=RDlYAbzJNXiJY&start_radio=1   IG: https://www.instagram.com/theprojectorsshow/   Subscribe to THE PROJECTORS on YouTube and podcast for a plethora of movie discussions as well as weekly repostings of our very first movie podcast “Documenteers” and much much more!
