Screenplay Junkie Drew Hellmich

The Netflix original movie "Hubie Halloween" (2020) is a family/comedy/horror film about Hubie Dubois, a figure of mockery for kids and adults who is devoted to his hometown of Salem and its Halloween celebration. But when something goes bump in the night this year, it's up to Hubie to save Halloween. Directed by Steven Brill and written by Adam Sandler & Tim Herlihy, it stars Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Julie Bowen, Ray Liotta, Steve Buscemi, Rob Schneider, and has cameos of many other Sandler regulars. Tune in as we talk the plot, Hubie's character, Adam Sandler movie homages & classic horror homages that make their way into this film, and finally wonder whether or not "Hubie Halloween" is worth the watch or is just another disappointing Sandler and crew movie. THANK YOU FOR 2 YEARS OF SCREENPLAY JUNKIE!

FRIGHT FEST is back! Created by the talented genre chameleons Ryan Murphy & Brad Falchuk, the FX original anthology series "American Horror Story" (2011 - ongoing) is a horror show that centers on different characters, settings, and storylines from season to season and has starred many actors like Lady Gaga, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Jessica Lange, Emma Roberts, Taissa Farmiga, Finn Wittrock, Dylan McDermott, Connie Britton, and many others. But it must start with a pilot. And in this case, Murder House. Tune in as we go over the seasons and see how they're generally ranked to audiences, compare the pilot script to the first episode, talk the characters and their depth, and explain why AHS Murder House is a fresh take on the 'haunted house' subgenre.

Directed by Tyler Spindel and written by Chris Pappas and Kevin Barnett, the Netflix original "The Wrong Missy" (2020) is a romantic comedy that stars David Spade, Lauren Lapkus, Nick Swardson, Jackie Sandler, and Rob Schneider. Backed by Adam Sandler's production company Happy Madison, it's about a man who thinks he's invited the woman of his dreams on a work retreat to Hawaii, but realizes too late that he's mistakenly texted someone from a nightmare blind date. Tune in as we make predictions before the film like who is the right Missy, how annoying will the wrong Missy be, will this follow the formula of a typical rom-com, will Nick Swardson and Rob Schneider play ridiculous characters, will this be another bad Adam Sandler and crew vacation movie, talk the plot and review after our viewing, and more!

Directed and written by the legendary Stephen King, "Maximum Overdrive" (1986) is an insane action/comedy/horror/sci-fi movie that stars Emilio Estevez, Pat Hingle, and Yeardley Smith about a group of people who try to survive in a highway diner when machines start to come alive and become homicidal. But did you know that it's based on Stephen King's 1973 short story "Trucks"? Join the ride as we go over trivia like which rock band made the music for the film and which rock singer King wanted to cast as the lead role, discuss the short story compared to the film, and come to the conclusion that even one of the greatest writers of all time can make a bad movie.

Written and directed by Jennifer Kent, "The Babadook" (2014) is an Australian drama/horror monster/psychological film that stars Essie Davis and Noah Wiseman about a single mother and her child who fall into a deep well of paranoia when an eerie children's book titled "Mister Babadook" manifests in their home. What is the Babadook? Is it a real monster? Or is it a suppressed hateful/violent part of Amelia's psyche? Tune in as we talk trivia, discuss the main characters and their emotional relationship, go over what the Babadook is, talk the creepy pop up book "Mister Babadook", and dig into Amelia's disintegration and the ending of this layered horror story. Also, jam out to Bryan's new song: Stranger featuring Victoria Owsnett!

Unsticking ourselves from the status quo, this is the first musical we've covered on this show. Directed by Kenny Ortega and written by Peter Barsocchini "High School Musical" (2006) is an extremely successful Disney channel original about a popular high school athlete and an academically gifted girl who get roles in their school's musical and develop a friendship that threatens East High's social order that stars Zac Efron, Vannessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, and Corbin Bleu. In this highly requested listener episode we discuss our thoughts on musicals, its similarities with Grease (1978), dig into trivia, and talk the songs we liked the most and which ones not so much. Don't lie, you know you loved it!
