Silver Linings Watchalongs: Speed (Live Commentary)
It's the dog days of summer, and while there's still a little bit of a wait before Season 7 kicks off, we're bringing you something very, very special as a bonus to hold you over. It's a special episode on one of Dustin's favorite movies of all time: 1994's Speed! Even by 2023's standards, it's fair to say this film is what Mallie routinely refers to as a "white knuckle thrill ride". But does it still hold up? Join us and find out, because this isn't your average episode. We're not just talking about the movie, but talking during the movie. That's right: it's a live commentary! In what we're calling "Double Speed Dating", Dustin and Nathan recruit their betrotheds and past guests Priscilla Hendry and Ashley McGlothren to cover every second of this fantastic film.We cover a wide, wide range of topics, including Priscilla confusing Jeff Daniels with Dave Coulier, the other actors considered for Jack and Annie (including Tom Hanks and Halle Berry), the brilliance of Michael Bay's Ambulance, "The Annie" haircut being the original "The Rachel", the absolutely illogical route the bus traverses in this movie, and a ton more. So grab your Blu-ray copy or load up that stream of the movie and listen along with us. And remember: don't get dead.You can listen to Nathan and Dustin's band The Fever // The Rage's debut album NeverEnding now.You can also check out Southern Haunts and Oh, That’s a Scary Movie on Apple Podcasts or wherever get your podcasts.Speed stars Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper, Sandra Bullock, and Joe Morton. Directed by Jan de Bont.NOTE: This episode is intended to be used as a watchalong; a live commentary track to be played in unison with the movie itself. We used a copy of the Blu-ray to watch the film, and we provide the timecode to sync up with our commentary. In our episode, you can jump to 7:10 to begin the movie.If you enjoy what we do, please subscribe to our show, and leave us a rating and some feedback as well!Follow us on TwitterCatch up with us on InstagramWatch clips on TikTokSubscribe on YouTubeJoin the discussion on our subredditBrought to you by HOLY Propaganda

Episode 143: 365 Days
We've covered some bad movies on this show during our 6-year run, but nothing has even come close to this. For the first time ever, we are asking - nay, imploring - you all not to watch this movie before hearing our episode (or even afterwards.) 365 Days is pure, unadulterated garbage, and not just in its poor direction and performances; it sets a dangerous precedent. With all that being said, we do our best to bring you the same energetic, fun, and silly podcast for your listening pleasure. So strap in as we discuss the paper-thin plot, plus why you can't make the beach sexy, AI generated music, getting Zapruder'd with a magic bullet, and a ton more. Again, please don't watch this movie.Warning: this episode covers the topic of sexual assault, Stockholm Syndrome, and other acts of domestic abuse. If you or someone you know is experiencing anything related to these acts, we encourage you to seek help. The National Sexual Assault Hotline can be reached 24/7 at 1-800-656-4673 and the National Domestic Violence Hotline can also be reached 24/7 at 1-800-799-7233.365 Days stars Anna-Maria Sieklucka, Michele Morrone, Bronisław Wrocławski, Otar Saralidze, Magdalena Lamparska, and Natasza Urbańska.
