Episode #189 – When Evil Lurks – 2023

Happy holidays, HYSTOphiles, and welcome to Episode #189! Our movie this time is the brand new, 2023 film When Evil Lurks

And it truly lurks…

I will go ahead and tell you right now this is one of the best horror films I’ve seen in quite a while. Although, I have to warn everyone about two things. Number one: this is NOT for the faint of heart, only for hard-core horror fans. Number two: if you have an aversion to films where animals get hurt then don’t watch. (Don’t worry: we already warned Kellie.) 🙂

It starts here…
…and then…
…which leads to…
Don’t ask…

The point is: no one in this film is safe. Men, women, children, animals. Every living being is at risk. How does it end? You’ll have to watch or listen to find out!

Naturally we also talk about what’s been entertaining us lately, and I let Keith know what movie has been assigned to him for our next episode.

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

“Let us in! Let us in!” 

It’s episode #188, and we are SO ready to discuss this 1985 boardgame-based film CLUE. That’s right: it’s not just a game anymore!  Starring SO many great comic actors!

Lesley Ann Warren, Martin Mull, Madeline Kahn, Michael McKean, Tim Curry, Christopher Lloyd, and Eileen Brennan. What a cast! (You can recognize Madeline Kahn by the flames on the side of her face.)

Naturally, Kellie and Keith and I also discuss what’s been entertaining us lately, and Keith announces what film is in store for me next time.

#185 The Legend Of Hell House – 1973 – with guest Erin Casteneda!

HELL-O, HYSTOphiles! Welcome to Episode #185 – 1973’s British horror classic The Legend Of Hell House!

Nah. Not foreboding at all…

It’s a 70’s horror classic, so of course we had to have our good friend Erin Casteneda along for the ride! Naturally she was familiar the film, but Keith wasn’t, and his observations were very interesting indeed…

Oh, and Roddy says hi…

As always we also discuss what’s been entertaining us lately (A Haunting In Venice, anyone?), and Keith let’s me know what movie I will be watching for our next episode!

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

Episode #184 – Where The Crawdads Sing – with guest Laura Stroud!

Welcome to Episode #184, HYSTOphiles! This time around we have our good friend and first time guest Laura Stroud to thank for our movie choice!

Based on the book…

Laura just finished reading the novel and NONE of us had ever seen the movie, so it was new to all of us. We really had fun talking about it, and we also (of course) share what’s been entertaining us lately.

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

Two stars from the film. No, this isn’t fake…

Like we always do, we have a blast also talking about what’s been entertaining us lately, and I let Keith know what movie he and I will be watching for the first time because our guest next time recommended it! 🙂

Singing? Check! Rain? Check!

Joining the fun is our good friend Shawna West! I knew she was the right person to join us since she loves classic musicals just like me!

It’s a classic!

Naturally we also talk about what’s been entertaining us lately (The Blackening, anyone?). And I also let Keith know what movie from the 30’s he’ll be watching for next time!

Episode #180 – 1981’s The Last Shark, with guest Erin Casteneda!

Welcome, HYSTOphiles, to Episode #180! We are celebrating the summer with a movie whose story was stolen, uh, inspired by the classic film JAWS. It’s 1981’s The Last Shark!

Photo bomb!

Of course, since we are discussing a shark movie, we had to invite our good friend Erin Casteneda! Everyone knows that Erin is nuts about JAWS, so we just had to have her along for this ride!

And what a nutty ride it is!

Along the way we discuss what’s been entertaining us lately, and Keith let’s me know what movie is in store for me when we record Episode #181 (hint: it involves a shark…again…).

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