    Choices Were Made (The Films of Soi Cheang - Part 1)

    THIS WEEK: Home Sweet Home (2005), Dog Bite Dog (2006), and Motorway (2012) A generous patron's request brings us back to Hong Kong to look at a more contemporary side of the HK action-industrial complex via the films of Soi Cheung. Unfortunately, Jack has returned from his sabbatical, and decided he'd rather spend the week mired in the soapy melodrama of Cheung's early career. We vow to rectify this injustice very soon.

    Motion Sickness Episode Three: Help Me Someone, Help Me Please

    THIS WEEK: Cloverfield (2008), Apollo 18 (2011) and The Devil Inside (2012) Life has once again wrought havoc with our schedule, so before we debut the regular format of Motion Sickness, we're bringing you one more genre retrospective. It's a slate featuring some of the least essential films to emerge during the latter days of the format's theatrical viability! And also Cloverfield! What do these things have in common? Their marketing achieved far more notoriety than the films themselves. That's right, we're talking ad campaigns. Strap in. Donate to Palestinian Medical Aid Support Optimism Vaccine on Patreon

    Motion Sickness Episode Two: Hiding in the Dark, Hiding in the Street

    THIS WEEK: Local 58, Gemini Home Entertainment, The Mandela Catalogue and The Oldest View We're leaving the dusty theater behind, as Motion Sickness looks at what the children and their dang internet have done to the found footage genre. Liminal spaces, analogue oddities, and alternate personages abound in the ever-evolving world of web horror. Donate to Palestinian Medical Aid Support Optimism Vaccine on Patreon

    Motion Sickness Episode One: It's Coming for Me Through the Trees

    THIS WEEK: Cannibal Holocaust (1980), Guinea Pig: Devil's Experiment (1985), The McPherson Tape (1989), Ghostwatch (1992), The Blair Witch Project (1999) and Paranormal Activity (2007) We're kicking off our new series Motion Sickness by looking at the history of the found footage format in horror, from Ruggero Deodato murdering tortoises in the Amazon, to the micro-budget film that launched Blumhouse.

    The State of Surveillance (Found Footage in the 2020s)

    THIS WEEK: Unknown Visitor (2019), Host (2020), Dashcam (2021), and Frogman (2023) What do you do when one of your co-hosts requires emergency surgery on Christmas Day? You pivot. And prepare to pivot again. So while Jack recovers from his "back problems", the rest of us are hard at work on our long-gestating exploration of found footage horror: Motion Sickness. Is this that? Not exactly. Consider it a prologue, in which Steve and Miros look at some of the more intriguing recent stabs at the format. Donate to Palestinian Medical Aid Support Optimism Vaccine on Patreon

    A Christmas With Old Friends (David DeCoteau and Steven Paul)

    THIS WEEK: A Magic Christmas (2014), A Christmas Eve Miracle (2015) and A Husband for Christmas (2016) Somewhere along the line, noted shirtless hunk afficionado David DeCoteau was co-opted into the bland holiday film industry. This merits our attention. Steven Paul doesn't merit anyone's attention, but we're still talking about him. The stars are all here: Vivica A. Fox! Eric Roberts! Burt Reynolds! Jon Voight! And half of them are voicing vestigial dog narrators! Donate to Palestinian Medical Aid Support Optimism Vaccine on Patreon

    The Cold, the Bad, and the Grey (Late-Stage Liam Neeson)

    THIS WEEK: The Grey (2011), Cold Pursuit (2019) and The Ice Road (2021) This December, we've decided to trudge through the snow with Liam Neeson, charting his curious journey from celebrated thespian to Charles Bronson in a parka along the way.

    Smile: Day One (2024 Horror Grotesques)

    THIS WEEK: Blink Twice (2024), Smile 2 (2024) and The Substance (2024) We've nearly survived 2024, but subtlety didn't make it out alive. It's cinema via blunt force trauma as we examine an eclectic slate of the year's most interesting horror films. Donate to Palestinian Medical Aid Support Optimism Vaccine on Patreon
