Welcome back, HYSTOphiles! Keith are thrilled to bring to you Episode #179 – 1996’s Bound, directed by the Wachowski Sisters! And joining us for the adventure is our good friend Cassandra Weyandt. In fact, it was her idea to discuss this movie! Another thing that makes this episode special is that we got to record IN PERSON! Keith and his family are here in Texas for a bit, and the scheduling worked out in our favor!

Jennifer Tilly & Gina Gershon star in this steamy thriller…

Like always we also discuss what’s been entertaining us lately, and I let Keith know what JAWS inspired film we be covering next!

Basic Instinct – 1992

Episode #177 – ALLIGATOR! – 1980

Heya, HYSTOphiles! It’s summer, and for me that means watching movies inspired by JAWS! And, you know, if we’re even mentioning that genre we HAVE to invite our good friend Erin Casteneda along for the ride!

And what a ride!

And the movie we covered is ALLIGATOR! The 1980 creature feature written by John Sayles, who also wrote the JAWS inspired film PIRANHA!

Such a ride!

Erin and Keith and I had so much fun talking about this 80’s blast! So much so that, I can’t even hide how we all feel about this movie: WE ALL LOVE IT!!!

Someone’s got the munchies!

And, of course, we also talk about what has been entertaining us lately (Keith jumps on the French Horror Wagon!). And, I tell Keith what’s in store for him the next time around. (Hint: it’s Basic, and it’s very Instinctive…)

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

Episode #176 – Whiplash – 2014 – by Damien Chazelle

Welcome to Episode #176, HYSTOphiles! We are jazzing things up this time around the 2014 Damien Chazelle film Whiplash! When Keith first said we would be discussing this one I had mixed feelings: I really like the work of both the director and actor J.K. Simmons, but the clips I have seen from this film didn’t have me drum-rolling to see it…

Ba Dum, Tsh…

Naturally we both share what’s been keeping us entertained lately, and (with great joy) I tell Keith what is store for him next time around in Episode #177 (Hint: you’re Bound to be surprised!)

(UPDATE: we are going to put a hold on Bound and save it for another, special episode. Our next film, instead, will be the JAWS inspired ALLIGATOR! With Special guest Erin Casteneda!)

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