Each episode we cover news in the film, TV, and video game industries, before diving into review of a topical movie, and deeper discussion of a more obscure film chosen by one among us--the Morticians--and preferably one that the others haven't seen. This is where movies come to be examined. To die, or maybe, to be reborn. Scrub in!

    Opening Night x Gloria — A Rowlands Retrospective

    On August 14, 2024, Gena Rowlands passed away. Her storied career spanned the stage and screen alike over seven decades—but it's her collaborations with actor-director-husband John Cassavetes that remain some of her most legendary. On this episode, Dan leads Wes and Justin through two of his favorite selections: Opening Night (1977) and Gloria (1980).  Has Gena Rowlands really gotten her full due for her contributions to the craft? Is Opening Night the greatest movie ever made about acting? Was it necessary to nominate 6-year-old John Adames for a Razzie Award because of his performance in Gloria? Stuff your revolver into a clutch and scrub in, we're gonna find out together!

    SupaFantastic! (with Ani Pi)

    Welcome back to the Morgue!  The Morticians are overjoyed to welcome back FOTS Ani Pi for a review of Marvel and DC's silver age summer spectacles. How fantastic is the new casting for Marvel's first family? How superb is the selection for DC's Man of Tomorrow? How many puns will Justin put in this description?  Grab your blue super suits and space baby diapers and scrub in!  [0:00] The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) dir.

    Sinners x From Dusk Till Dawn (with Marchael Giles)

    Welcome back to the Morgue! We have raised up our coffins and returned from the netherrealm of non-podcasting to review the incredibly special cultural and artistic phenomenon that is Ryan Coogler's Sinners with first time guest Marchael Giles. Then we travel back to the 90s to talk about Robert Rodriguez's manic cult classic From Dusk Till Dawn. Which of these two doomed desert watering holes would you rather spend a night in? How cool is George Clooney in this pre-Danny Ocean persona? Is this Michael B. Jordan's best performance yet? And did Quentin really have to write that moment?  As always, you're in for a rich discussion about the reflexive nature of cinema ensues with a healthy mix of tomfoolery. So grab your corn liquor, your crucifix, and your closest blood relative—bonus points if it's your brother. Let's scrub in! TIMESTAMPS [0:00] 'Sinners' (2025) dir. Ryan Coogler [48:10] 'From Dusk Till Dawn' (1996) dir. Robert Rodriguez

    In awareness of Native American Heritage Day, visit Osage Nation Foundation to learn more about the powerful tribe depicted in this film. Films about Palestine/by Palestinians! A cinematic resource list curated by friend of the show Amir Moverman. Welcome back to the Morgue!  Martin Scorsese. Whether you love him or hate him, you've heard the man's name. On this episode, we're getting into the thick of his latest opus: Killers of the Flower Moon, alongside an old dark horse in his filmography called After Hours. Examining both these films gave us a chance to look at the themes, questions, and methods that run through the wide gamut of Marty's filmography—but if Killers turns out to be his final work, how excellent an exit would it be? Just in time for Thanksgiving, this is a feast of an episode, so grab your plate and scrub in!  TIMESTAMPS [3:15] News!
