LWJ&A – Episode 178
Welcome to Cecily and A.Ron’s second annual Cinema Spooktacular! During the month of October, we like to watch scary movies, and then talk about them on a podcast. Perhaps you’d care to join? Stay awhile… stay FOREVER! Muahahahahaha! This year we’re going to do multiple Spooktaculars in a (mostly failed) effort to get these out quicker. On this podcast, we discuss… 00:25:30 – Are We Not Cats?, 00:39:28 – The Endless, 00:53:42 – Mom and Dad, 00:57:54 – Hereditary
Cecily and A.Ron open up the mailbag and consider feedback for the latest episode of FX’s American Horror Story: Apocalypse.
Nicolas Cage and Sean Connery in an early Michael Bay action movie? What’s not to love? Club members, come watch The Rock with us!
It’s fair to say that The Rock is a great action movie. That’s why we decided that our first rewrite should be a sequel rather than a true remake of the original film. Trust us, it’s better this way. Though maybe don’t trust us too much because the sequel we came up with is called The Clock… and that’s probably the smartest thing about it.
Welcome to The Rock, and welcome to the first review of Super Serious Film Fest’s “Season of the Cage”. Released in 1996, this modern classic stands as one of Nic Cage’s, as well as Michael Bay’s, finest action movies. It’s not quite the level of Caginess you’re probably looking for but the Season of the Cage is just warming up. Join us next week for The Weather Man.
Cecily and A.Ron are here to discuss the latest episode of FX’s American Horror Story: Apocalypse, “Traitor”. A fun episode, which attempts to even out the odds between Michael’s malevolence and Cordelia’s rag-tag and mostly resurrected group of Goode witches and warlocks. There’s also a bit of talk about Mallory being the new Supreme, but we figured that out 2 weeks ago. It was nice seeing Nan raising hell with Papa Legba, too. But mostly it’s just fun watching Joan Collins and Cheyenne Jackson vamp and scarf throw their way through this breezy episode of AHS. Don’t forget we come back in two days for Feedback Friday! See you then…
Jim and I checked out the latest episode of HBO’s The Deuce, “The Feminism Part”, and boy, just a lot happened. There’s mob money, murder, attempted murder, betrayals, breakups, Bobby’s kid lost his virginity! The stakes can be as low as Vince losing himself for a few days tending bar in sleepy Vermont towns, or as high as a dead prostitute washing up and into Detective Alston’s case load. That’s life on The Deuce.
Check out the trailer for season one of Super Serious Film Fest, a.k.a Season of the Cage!
Super Serious Film Fest is our themed series of movie reviews. This season covers the best and the worst of Nic Cage, the summer and winter of his career, in what we’re calling “Season of the Cage”.
Premieres this Thursday, Oct. 25th 2018. Click through to find out more.
Jim and I watched an unexpectedly spooky episode of Matthew Weiner’s The Romanoffs, “House of Special Purpose”. Starring Christina Hendricks, Jack Huston, and Isabelle Huppert, it’s a tale that asks us whether we believe in ghosts or if one or perhaps more people are actually losing their minds. Does the spell work, and what is Weiner saying about coercive / abusive directors and set environments? Perhaps Hollywood’s legacy of sexual abuse is the spookiest story of all? And despite the super serious subject matter, we also find time to pitch a sequel to Twister, somehow, because of Paul Riser? Perhaps it is us losing our minds after all.
