    Hereditary in IMAX, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, Conan O'Brien Must Go, and More

    On the April 25, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film staff writer Bill Bria to gather around the virtual water cooler to talk about what they’ve been watching lately.
    In the Water Cooler:
    What we’ve been Watching:Bill saw Hereditary in IMAX, the first two Maze Runner movies, and Cool as Ice.Ben caught up with The First Omen and Immaculate, watched all of Conan O’Brien Must Go, and saw Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid. Listener e-mail: Lorenzo from Sarasota, FL, wrote in about our recent episode where we talked about our favorite vampire films. Lorenzo says “both of my favorite live-action vampire movies were mentioned, but my number 1 favorite vampire movie is actually an animated movie, and I wanted to give it a shout out: The Batman vs. Dracula.” He calls it “underseen and underrated,” and explains that though it’s set in the continuity of an animated series called The Batman that debuted in 2004, “the film is a standalone story that can easily also be enjoyed even without the context of the show.” He says it’s “atmospheric and creepy,” it stars Peter Stormare as the voice of Dracula, and it even gives us Vampire Joker, with Tom Kenny’s Penguin basically filling the Renfield role and delivering comedy gold throughout.”

My number 1 horror pod cast. The hosts are really starting to gel!

Getting back to normal

I’ve been listening to this podcast since their hay days in the beginning. I LOVED the original group that had formed to its peak right before the pandemic. Understandably, after the pandemic it fell apart. Things happen. But as the entertainment world opened back up,the /Film podcast did not. Peter became obsessed with creating content and, how to make, and who made, the most money in Hollywood. Since he’s retired to do what he’s really into, the podcast is coming back around. Some of the regulars are coming back and the obsession with box office results is receding. I wish they could do more podcasts throughout the week again, I really do enjoy what they have. Ben is a great host and crazy right-wing conspiracy theorist probably don’t even listen to this show.

Pure drivel

There was a time slashfilm was a solid site for movie news. Then it got sold to a large company and now runs listicles and pointless articles about things the writers read on other sites. This show is the audio version of that. I’d rather hit myself repeatedly in the crotch with a sharp stick than have to listen to this again.
