Episode #103 is flying high and flush! The Kite Runner & Cookie’s Fortune!

Relax and stay awhile!

Greetings, HYSTOphiles! We’re back with another double feature and another special guest! Our first flick for #103 is The Kite RunnerKeith chose this 2007 film by director Marc Forster, which is based on the best-selling book of the same name…

It says here that Keith wasn’t trying to torture us with this movie, but I don’t know… 

After that we discuss 1999’s Robert Altman film Cookie’s Fortune. Joining us for the discussion is the person who recommended this movie to us, our good friend Cassy Weyandt! It’s shocking to me that I’ve never seen this movie before, and I couldn’t wait to chat about it with Cass and Keith!

Chat about it and play Scrabble, that is…

Of course we do all the usual stuff that we love to do: we talk about what’s been entertaining us lately, and I announce what movies we will be covering on episode #104, which just happens to be our FOURTH ANNIVERSARY EPISODE! We also announce who our special guest will be for that episode, and it’s definitely an announcement worth tuning in for!

We really hope you join our movie party, because we really do want to know…

Have You Seen This One?

Episode #102! So, here’s The Thing…TWICE!

Welcome, HYSTOphiles! We are up to Episode #102, and this time, along with our special guest Shawna West, we are discussing two versions of the same story: 1951’s The Thing From Another World, and 1982’s John Carpenter classic The Thing.

Did I hear my name?

The first version of the film is a true classic, and it’s famous for a couple of iconic images…

Yep. That’s one of them…

The 1982 version is also famous for some iconic moments…

Yep. That’s one of them…

We had so much fun comparing the two films we forgot to mention that there was a prequel in 2011 (I didn’t really care for that one, but that’s my opinion).

Along the way we talk about what’s been entertaining us lately and, of course, Keith tells me what movie I’m assigned to watch for Episode #103. We really hope you join us for this movie party, because we really do want to know…

Episode #101 is here: The Boondock Saints

Hello HYSTOphiles! We’re back with our second triple-digit episode, and this time there are guns and (F) bombs aplenty! It’s the 1999 film by Troy Duffy, The Boondock Saints!

F-bombs! Guns! F-bombs! Extreme overacting! More F-bombs!

This was Keith’s choice, so you’ll have to tune in to see how I feel about watching this “cult classic.”

A picture of me thanking Keith…

Of course we also talk about what’s been entertaining us lately, and I tell Keith what he’ll be watching for Episode #102 (hint: it’s a double creature-feature!).

We hope you’ll join our little movie party, because we really do want to know…
