We're doing it! We're getting them all wet, exposing them all to bright lights, and most definitely feeding them after midnight. 

Join us as we dive into the 1984 horror comedy known as GREMLINS!
Starring:
Zach Galligan
Phoebe Cates
Hoyt Axton
Corey Feldman

The story of a young man who inadvertently breaks three important rules concerning his new pet and unleashes a horde of malevolently mischievous monsters on a small town.

Sadly this didn't win any Academy Awards but it did with Best Horror in the Saturn Awards and it also won our hearts. Which isn't that the greatest award after all?

Join Patrick and Lauren as we follow the story of up and coming actress Eve Harrington and her ability to manipulate her way into people's lives. She's plotting and devious and wedge's her way int Bette Davis' character's life for personal gain.

Lot's of tongue in cheek moments, brilliant writing, dark and light comedy. And of course Patrick and lauren. What more could you want?

Written and directed by: Joseph L. Mankiewicz
Starring:
Bette Davis
Anne Baxter
George Sanders
Celeste Holm
Marilyn Monroe

Welcome to Season 2's recap episode where Patrick and Lauren discuss the decade's movies pointing out key take aways. They rate them and then slowly drink their way through the decade of cocktails that were featured in each episode. 

What more could you want?

Patrick and Lauren, your favorite podcasters, are joined by friend and actor Adam Wasser to discuss and dissect All The King's Men. A film about the rise and fall of a corrupt politician, who makes his friends richer and retains power by dint of a populist appeal.

...Who does that sound like to you????

Eerily familiar story and themes. It's hard not to ask yourself after watching this, how are we still making the same mistakes?

Starring:
Broderick Crawford - Willie
John Ireland - Jack Burden
Joanne Dru - Anne Stanton

Directed by:
Robert Rossen

Adam would prefer to hide online some where but his improv troupe can be found here:
Honeymoon Improv

On this thrilling episode Patrick and Lauren dive into Hamlet! The Best Picture winner for 1948. It's a British film adaptation of William Shakespeare's play of the same name, adapted and directed by and starring Laurence Olivier.

This particular version, like all versions, is not without controversy. Massive cuts to the script, artistic license by Olivier, rearranging of scenes.  We discuss what works and what doesn't work. 

We're also joined by Deven Anderson. A New York based actor, creator, artist, and member of the comedy parody troupe, The Usual Rejects.

So join us as we walk through the first film adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet.

In this daring episode of our special series, The Envelope Please, Patrick and Lauren talk about the ads running before films and during intermission at  movie houses during the 1940's. 

What's your favorite concession? Concessions were and still are pushed down our throats. Popcorn being the number one seller at the movies. 

The similarity between things we see in movie theatres today and back then. Silence has always been an issue apparently. But less common today...seat cutting?

And War Bonds! The war effort was in full swing during the 40's and what better way to support the troops than to give them money and "back the attack."
