Greetings,  HYSTOphiles! Welcome to Episode #89, and welcome to the joy that is BLOOD FEST!  I had forgotten that Keith and I actually saw this movie together back when it came out, but he was totally stoked about watching this love letter to horror fans again! We were especially excited to cover this movie because I also had the extreme pleasure of talking to the writer, director, and star of Blood Fest, Owen Egerton!

Owen is an author, a comedian, a scriptwriter, an actor, a director…geez, is there anything this guy can’t do?  I can’t even tell you how much fun it was talking to Owen; he shared so much great background info on the film, and we also talked a little about horror in general…

HYSTOphiles! Get ready for FLIGHT, starring the amazing Denzel Washington and directed by the we’ve-already-talked-about-how-talented-he-is Robert Zemeckis! This 2012 film features some of the most harrowing flight scenes I’ve ever seen on film.

Keith picked this one, and it was not at all what I was expecting. I will go ahead and tell you: it’s a terrific film! Denzel Washington is fantastic as “Whip” (no surprise). John Goodman has a small part, but he steals every scene he’s in. So worth watching!

As usual we also talk about what’s been keeping us entertained lately, and I announce my movie choice for the next episode! We hope you join us, because we really do want to know…

Happy holidaze, HYSTOphiles! We’re back with our 4th Annual Christmas show! It was my turn to pick the movie so, instead of going my usual horror route, I decided to family-film it and make Keith watch one of my all-time favorite Hollywood musicals, Meet Me In St. Louis, starring the legendary Judy Garland!

Keith is famously NOT a fan of musicals, but with Cabaret and Hedwig and the Angry Inch, I have been changing his mind, film by film. Except for Spice World, which he may never forgive me for…

After we talk about the film, we let each other know, concerning movies we made each other watch, what at the top three and bottom choices, in our humble opinions. Keith really surprised me with his choices, but you’ll have to listen in to find out what that surprise was all about!

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

Welcome back, HYSTOphiles! We’re so glad to be back, and as we continue our journey through the holiday season we bring you this classic, heartwarming Christmas movie…JUST KIDDING!

Keith’s pick this time is the 2006 Mel Gibson film Apocalypto. Definitely NOT a holiday classic, but definitely a DISNEY FILM (the last “R” rated film under the Disney moniker!). You’ll have to listen in to see what I thought about it. No spoilers here!

We also do our usual entertainment talk: what we’ve been watching lately and what movie we’ll cover next time for our Christmas show! We sure do hope that you join us, because we really do want to know…

Hello HYSTOphiles! We are back with Episode #85, and it is creepy and a half, because we are covering the 1980 haunted house masterpiece The Changeling, starring George C. Scott…

We are joined on this cinematic journey by our friend and first-time guest Shawna West! Shawna brought a lot to the party, and we can’t wait for you to hear it. There are so many creepy moments in this movie…and we discuss them all!

We also have a great deal of fun talking about what’s been keeping us entertained lately, and Keith announces his choice for Episode #86.

We hope you join us for Shawna’s first (but definitely not last!) appearance on the show, because we really do want to know…

Yay! It’s our 3rd Annual Very Special Halloween Special! And we are so lucky to have our dear friend (and big-time horror movie fan) Erin Casteneda along for the fun! We picked a couple of real Halloween mood-setters for this time around, and our first film is…

Tales of Halloween! This 2015 film contains 10 different stories set on Halloween, and all in the same small town. Eleven different directors (all fans of the genre) collaborated to make this seasonal gem, and I couldn’t wait to share this one with Keith and Erin.

As to whether or not they liked it? You know how to find out! Next, we visited a classic from 1976: Alice, Sweet Alice, directed by Alfred Sole and starring, in her first movie roll ever, Brooke Shields!

This is one that I have loved from way back, it being such a great proto-slasher and all. I knew Erin would be into it because, hey, it’s 70’s horror, but I was curious how Keith would react…

It was released several times under different names, and I tried to include the posters for all of them below. Be sure to scroll down and check them out!

Of course we also talk about what’s been entertaining us lately, and we announce our next film as well. We hope you join our Halloween celebration, because we really want to know…

Hello there, HYSTOphiles! Episode #82 is here with the 1960 rip-off classic western film The Magnificent Seven.

The film starts Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, and a slew of great actors that went on to big things after this. (Well, most  of them did.)

I had never seen this film, but I knew it was considered a remake of the Japanese classic The Seven Samurai, which I had never seen either…until now!

It was great to be able to compare the two films, and we had a fantastic time talking about Magnificent Seven, ESPECIALLY because our great friend Erin Casteneda joins us for the fun!

We hope you join us for the fun, because we really do want to know…

Yes, welcome HYSTOphiles to Episode #81! This time we highlight one of the greatest musical films ever made (in my humble opinion)! It’s 1972’s Cabaret, by the absolute genius Bob Fosse…

This movie has a lot of personal meaning for me, and it features so many stunning moments I had a hard time making myself stop talking about it…

In addition to discussing this classic we also talk about what’s been keeping us entertained lately, and Keith’s announces his choice for me to watch for Episode #82 (hint: the theme song might make you want a cigarette…).

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

Hello HYSTOphiles! We’re back with Episode #80 and, folks, it’s getting DEEP in here! We’re talking EXISTENTIAL, y’all, because this time it’s all about Richard Linklater’s 2001 film Waking Life,

This may be the most abstract movie we’ve ever covered on the show. We were kind of worried that we’d have a difficult time discussing such an odd film, but HA! We couldn’t shut up about this mind-trip of a movie…

We also talk about what’s been keeping us entertained lately and, because this is #80, we rank each other’s last ten movie choices! We hope you can join us for the party, because we really want to know…
