We began the year by talking about the movies we liked the least and most from 2023. Unsurprisingly, we had little crossover with the Academy Awards but the Razzies did have some of our picks, but is that a good thing?

Oppenheimer was one of the biggest movies of the year. So why did it take so long to get a Japanese release date? The answer might surprise you. We also talk about the Chinese box office and how it can affect our show in the future.

The Death Tour is probably not about what you think. Screening at the Slamdance Film Festival, the documentary is about a pro wrestling tour that takes place in the Northern Territories. When it comes to wrestling, it is fairly simple to deliver a compelling product. All it takes are engaging stories and a storyline.

This film definitely has interesting personalities. It has the normal tales of self-doubt and redemption found in these types of documentaries, but it also brings different stories and themes that would set it apart. Regrettably, The Death Tour makes decisions that would make it a difficult watch for even fans of the sport.

Realm of Satan is already getting a lot of flack. Made in collaboration with members of the Church of Satan, the documentary is not an exploration of the inner workings of the organization. Instead, it is an experimental film that seems to be about people. It is certainly not for everyone.

Due to its structure, it managed to be both entertaining and plodding. The moments that were the stereotypical view of what a Satanist is impressed us the least while the scenes that were more grounded were way more interesting. Shocking and silly, Realm of Satan is one of the most unique looks at Satanism you will ever see.

Ron welcomes Director Zach Kashkett about his new documentary, The Mad Writer.

Zach is an accomplished editor. His documentaries include House of Secrets, Shawn Mendes in Wonder, and Sins of a Mother (due September 14th). All of which  can be found on Netflix. The Mad Writer is Zach's first time in the director's seat. It debuted at this year's Slamdance Festival and received much accolades. It was also a winner at the 2023 Atlanta Docufest.

The Mad Writer: Rising hip hop phenom L'Orange, is a recluse. Clinically depressed, he rarely leaves the comfort of his Nashville home or his faithful dog Scraps' side. But when he develops mysterious tumors in his ears canals, his world is thrown into chaos. With his career on the line, he will need to undergo several risky surgeries if he wants a hope of retaining his hearing.

The Mad Writer will be back on the Film Festival circuit by October 2023 and it will be available on Amazon Prime and Tubi later this year.

Kris again visit with filmmaker Chelsea Christer to find out how one gets their music documentary into film festivals, theaters and the hearts of music fans everywhere. 

The Matches should have been as huge as 311, Blink182 and Bad Religion - all bands they were associated with. Only in their case, as they were coming up in music, something ugly was going down...

It was the early aughts - a time when the RIAA and Napster dominated music instead of actual music. 

On this track of Text, Prose & RockNRoll, Kris chats with filmmaker Chelsea Christer & Matches bassist Justin SanSouci about their documentary Bleeding Audio, as it illustrates what was happening to up and coming artists at this dark time in music and the detrimental affect it had on them. 

Bleeding Audio is an award winning documentary, and will be continue screening at film festivals all over the world, including the Melbourne Documentary, Julien Dubuque,  Indy & NorthWest Film Festivals in the coming months... be sure to check out their website for all the latest info.

Filmmaker and comedy booker Symone Baptiste has had a great run with her short film, Sixteen Thousand Dollars in the past year going through all sorts of film festivals, done virtually of course. The short hits on the crucial topic of reparations for black people that the U.S. government seems like they're barely willing to entertain, much less actually go through with. Going further with that idea, Symone dives into the importance of people getting to tell their own stories as opposed to just white people doing it. Also, "hot" takes on Spotify's global expansion and the upcoming premiere of Showtime's Ziwe.

NOTE: If you are able to catch Symone out in public when we can all gather safely again and she is wearing jeans (AKA hard pants), she will pay you money.

February is Black History Month and Blake and Nathaniel talk Black horror movies. The two talk about their favorite heroes and villains, the Black horror movies that scared them the most, and underrepresentation.

The show starts with talk of the new Jordan Peele movie. The two talk about whether they are excited and how it important it is for Peele's legacy. They guys also talk an unmade Stanley Kubrick production that may finally see the light of day.

This week, Blake and Nathaniel review A Black Rift Begins to Yawn. Currently playing at the Slamdance Film Festival, the movie is a beautiful looking Lovecraftian horror movie. But is it worth watching.

This week's main segment is about Black horror movies. The pair talk about the lack of African culture in horror movies, discuss the variety in Black horror, and wonder why there are not more Black Final Girls.

Be sure to tune in every Saturday for new episodes of ADVENTURES IN MOVIES! on the Morbidly Beautiful Network.
