'Frogman,' 'Monkey Man,' 'Late Night with the Devil,' and 'The Night of the Hunter' + Hollywood Remakes Discussion
Frogman (2023), Monkey Man (2024), Late Night with the Devil (2023), and the haunting The Night of the Hunter (1955) all get covered on this episode of I Watch More Movies Than You! We have four movie reviews this week, all spoiler free except for the deep dive into what is regarded as the greatest American film of all time, The Night of the Hunter. Frogman is the latest found footage cryptic film to be circulating the interwebs, and we couldn't be more stoked to have watched this flick and now get to share our thoughts on it, the found footage genre, and cryptids- FUN! Monkey Man was saved by the great Jordan Peele from Netflix obscurity and now graces our silver screens! Dev Patel's directorial debut is one you do NOT want to miss, so go ahead and hit play and let Bobby walk you through a spoiler free review of the latest stylized revenge action picture that will leave you HYPED! Late Night with the Devil is up next, directed by Cameron and Colin Cairnes and starring the lovable Mr. David Dastmalchian as a younger Johnny Carson on a Halloween night in 1977. This movie is is entirely a late night show from the 70s and we are dropped in on a host who's past is dripped in tragedy, his ratings are falling, and he needs one gigantic, unforgettable night to launch him back to stardom. The question is, would you trade your soul!?  Seriously, give our review a listen and then go watch this film ASAP- you have never seen anything like it. HORROR IS THRIVING! Last but CERTAINLY not least, Charles Laughton's only directorial attempt ever, The Night of the Hunter. Starring robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters, and the silent-film star Lillian Gish, you are dropped in on an incredibly charismatic self-proclaimed preacher and one of the most haunting stories you shall ever encounter. Unforgettable photography, too dark of a story for the era it released, and a heavily German Expressionism styled film that all are woven together to create a child's nightmare, but a cinematic masterpiece.  Come with us as we journey through it and decide whether or not we believe this film to be worthy of the title of the greatest American movie of all time, and the tragedy that was the director never got his flowers this side of the grave.We also briefly discuss Hollywood remakes, in light of Scott Derrickson and writing partner Robert Cargill taking on the gargantuan task of remaking The Night of the Hunter. I BELIEVE IN THEM! Comment with a 5-star review the best remake that you believe has ever been made! And if you enjoyed spending time with us and watching movies, would you care to leave us a SMASHING 5-star REVIEW?! We'd greatly appreciate it, and we greatly appreciate YOU, film lovers!

Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers as we take a deep dive into the original story of The Shape himself. We review every Halloween movie from the original timeline, plus we also briefly discuss the long lost tome- the Halloween novelization book by Curtis Richards, which fills in a ton of gaps in Michael's story in Halloween '78. Taking Shape: Developing Halloween From Script to Scream is also a huge recommend! We begin with John Carpenter's 1978 accidental masterpiece ,'Halloween,' which took the world by storm, giving birth to the embodiment of evil, the Shape, the Boogeyman, Michael Myers himself.  We discuss the entire original story of Michael Myers as told by Halloween '78, Halloween 2, 3, 4, 5, and the Revenge of Michael Myers! We take a deep dive into the Haddonfield slasher, the mythos surrounding Michael and how the Shape was born, and the Halloween films, plus a ton of behind the scenes trivia, what could have been, and a lot more fun facts! Find out how Michael Myers became a titan of the American horror zeitgeist! To 1981 we go & we have Halloween II (2) , directed ALMOST by David Lynch but ends up in the hands of Rick Rosenthal, screenplay by John Carpenter and Debra Hill, and after the original cut was viewed by the master himself, 11 + minutes were reshot by Carpenter and that gave us the theatrical version of the film.Halloween 3: Season of the Witch famously omits Myers in favor of the original anthology idea, but after bombing at the box office our babysitter stalker was back in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)! The Boogeyman awakes on Halloween Eve with vengeance on his mind after hearing he has lineage still alive, 7 year old Jamie! Michael  returns to Haddonfield, following the true curve-ball of a story line from the 2nd installment of the Halloween franchise. Buckle your seatbelts, because it gets even weirder..Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989). The Shape returns to Haddonfield once more in the craziest installment yet, w/director Dominique Othenin-Girard taking Michael Myers to territory off the beaten path and into the great unknown- druids, cults, and the Thorn! DOG also was brought on for Halloween Kills (2021) as the AD, which is just one of the cool facts and trivia we explore in the Halloween franchise on this episode! The finale of the original story of the '78 Michael Myers and Halloween... 1995's Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers. Directed by Joe Chappelle we have the most insane entry in the entirety of the 13 movie Halloween franchise!

The Nun II, A Haunting in Venice, No One Will Save You (Spoiler Free Movie Review)
Sep 26 2023
The Nun II, A Haunting in Venice, No One Will Save You (Spoiler Free Movie Review)
The Nun 2 / II, A Haunting in Venice, and No One Will Save You spoiler-free and quick movie reviews for your listening pleasure!  The Nun II and A Haunting in Venice are in theaters now, No One Will Save You just arrived on Hulu- GO WATCH IT NOW! First up, The Nun 2, our next submission into the Conjuring universe and the third by director Michael Chavez. I think we have a horror icon on our hands, if even just in symbology, with the dark sister form of Valak played hauntingly by the great Bonnie Aarons.  The demon nun returns in a bigger, grander movie that once again calls upon our final nun heroine, Sister Irene played brilliantly by Taissa Farmiga (sister of Lorraine Warren, what!? conspiracy theory fun!) - can she deliver the goods again? Listen and find out if the trip to post-war France is worth it. Up next, the third entry into our favorite Agatha Christie inspired trilogy, A Haunting in Venice (2023)! Hercule Poirot is back and so is his glorious mustache in another murder mystery in an absolutely to-die-for setting, but does it have the goods? Inspired by Agatha Christie's Hallowe'en Party, we follow Orson's I MEAN Kenneth Branagh's direction and acting into a gorgeous, albeit haunted, palazzo in late 40s Venice, Italy. Another fun cast of characters bordering on caricatures, in the best of ways, the introduction of the amazing Michelle Yeoh and the miscast but talented Tina Fey, and the fun strand of reason versus the supernatural give way to a very fun, Halloween setting, murder mystery that could be the strongest of the three- listen and find out! Last but CERTAINLY not least, Brian Duffield's No One Will Save You.  Exclusively on Hulu, this alien home invasion horror sci-fi flick has taken the internet, and WORLD, by storm! Duffield has already given us the amazing Underwater (2020), can he deliver yet again?! Yes. A thousand times, yes. 'No One Will Save You' is a movie with only two lines of dialogue but an incredibly physical performance by Kaitlyn Dever that truly takes you on a journey you haven't been on before. An incredible script gives way to a haunting first act, stepchild of Signs, ET, and The Strangers, and then walks in Invasion of the Body Snatchers, then we get an emotional beat that is absolutely carried  by the entirely too lovable Brynn, and then some of the most creative creature design I've ever seen in a movie take us from the second act into the third. Again, this is a SPOILER-FREE review of No One Will Save You, so I kept it brief, but just know this movie explores the boundaries of the genre film and uses the rules as a playground, diving into a little bit of every kind of horror movie you can think of- AND IT RULES BECAUSE OF IT! Go watch 'No One Will Save You' right no on Hulu! Enjoy the spooky season people, Halloween is the greatest! And grab you a PSL, cuddle up, watch these horror movies, they hit different in autumn. The Nun II, A Haunting in Venice, and No One Will Save You compliment the halloween atmosphere perfectly, and  you won't regret taking the time to watch any of them! To the contrary, these movies are truly fun with No One Will Save You being an absolute CANNOT MISS feature. If you enjoyed, please share the episode around, we'd greatly appreciate it! And, as always, thank you so much for your time fellow movie and horror lovers, I hope you enjoyed your stay. And as you're falling asleep tonight, just let your mind be open to just maybe.... you are not alone.
'Sinister': The Scariest Movie Ever Made?
Sep 8 2023
'Sinister': The Scariest Movie Ever Made?
Ever wondered what makes a film truly terrifying? Put your big boy pants on and join us as we journey into the nightmare that is the 2012 horror masterpiece, 'Sinister,' directed by Scott Derrickson and written by Robert Cargill, my favorite horror filmmaking duo! Discover why this chilling film left such an unforgettable imprint on a generation, and why we believe it marked a resurgence in the horror genre as we know it today.The opening of Sinister is one you will NEVER forget, and although this film maims you with its brutality, it grounds itself with its humanity and heart. Ethan Hawke brings Ellison Oswalt alive in a way only he can, with a mesmerizing performance through the pursuit of his true crime white whale, and balancing being a present husband and father. But there is more to this film than ambition, even more than just fear itself- there is a true look in the mirror and you're faced with the thought- what if I don't matter anymore? Sinister scared you from the jump, but the emotional beats never miss either with brilliant on-screen chemistry of husband and wife, but let's not forget the demon in the room.. Bughuul, the Eater of Children's Souls. The film's demonic entity, and its ancient pagan connections going all the way back to Babylonian times, is truly a face you'll never forget, a darkness you'll never truly escape. I don't want to give too much away in the description, I implore you to give this episode a listen and travel with us through a vacuum of darkness, where seemingly not a single light can be found. There are many threads to follow in this masterpiece of a horror movie, but with the amazing Scotty D behind the camera you will not only have no problems doing so, but you'll see some of the best lit shots in modern movies. Scott Derrickson is more than Dr. Strange, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, and Blackphone (although those are all great), he and Cargill are creators of one of the scariest movies ever brought into existence- literally from a 'Ring' induced nightmare Robert had. Sinister is a horror film that you don't get right up after watching,  you'll need a minute. A reminder even, and a hopeful sigh of thankfulness that you were able to come back to our world- one without Bughuul and the innocence of children tainted. Or so you thought, wait until you see what makes him so special... and terrifying.Scary movie season is here, although it is 365 in my house, so get ready for Halloween by scaring your pants off with this amazing movie. 'Sinister' is a force to be reckoned with, and I encourage you to watch it right away, prior to listening to this, and allow yourself to get scared again and reminded that fear wasn't left behind in childhood. And please, if you enjoyed our deep dive into Sinister, I'd politely request a sharing of this episode with your friends, and maybe a 5-star review if you'd be so bold- I'd truly appreciate it!LONG LIVE HORROR, LONG LIVE SINISTER! Sinister is on Amazon Prime now! Go start your spooky season!

We share our personal reflections on this concept and how it has influenced our own lives. We wrap up our conversation by expressing our admiration for the transformative power of movies and how they transport us to a different world. Don't miss this episode - it's a celebration of cinema and an exploration of life's intriguing possibilities- fate?Your 'what ifs' build a life on their own, but you can only view it from the shore.

Get Ready for Spooky Season: 'The Last Voyage of the Demeter' and 'Cobweb' Movie Reviews and Discussion
We review and deep dive into The Last Voyage of the Demeter, aka the Captain's Log chapter from Bram Stoker's Dracula novel, and then we find ourselves on Halloween night stumbling into Cobweb, a brand new horror flick that crawled into theaters during the Barbenheimer mania and then slithered away to VOD as quickly as it arrived- don't miss it horror fans! The Last Voyage of the Demeter is in theaters now, and we start off with a spoiler-free movie review and then we announce when we embark into our spoiler-filled deep dive! Directed by Trollhunter and the Autopsy of Jane Doe's Andre Ovredal (André Øvredal) and starring Corey Hawkins, Aisling Franciosi, Liam Cunningham, Woody Norman and co, The Last Voyage of the Demeter gives us a Dracula the likes we haven't seen since Nosferatu, a truly terrifying beast with a captive crew on the high seas sailing for London with mysterious cargo and a lot of hiding places. This is a brutal horror period piece that borrows one of the most legendary IPs in literature and gives a unique, haunting beautiful spin on the old tale. This is a snapshot in the life of Dracula, one that hardly spares a single soul, but it is truly a beautiful moon and lantern lit slight and one you need to catch on the big screen- or do you?! Listen and find out!  This is a beast that masquerades as a man, and this film is all creature feature baby! Cobweb! From the Blacklist and Bloodlist- we review this victim of Barebenheimer because we don't want original horror to just disappear without being watched! Cobweb came to some movie theaters July 21st, coinciding with the biggest zeitgeist event in recent cinema memory, thus it left theaters shortly after and is already available on VOD for rent and to own. Cobweb is directed by Samuel Bodin and stars, the kid in both films of our double feature, Woody Norman, the amazing Lizzy Caplan, Homelander, I mean Antony Starr, and Cleopatra Coleman, and is set right around HALLOWEEN and the perfect cozy nightmare fairly tale watch to get you ready for spooky season! As IMDB puts it, 'Horror strikes when an eight-year-old boy named Peter tries to investigate the mysterious knocking noises that are coming from inside the walls of his house and a dark secret that his sinister parents kept hidden from him,' but that is only the first 66% of this film. In a very Hitchcockian way you really have two movies here, some of the most unique imagery and shadow play seen in a very long time, and a haunting story that lives in the moody autumn that is to come. Listen to Bobby and I battle it out over this film, and please leave a 5-star hitter review and your thoughts on Cobweb! And Dracula on a boat for that matter! Cobweb is a one-of & no rules Halloween tale! Barbarian, Coraline, and  Trick 'r Treat's stepchild, on VOD now! As always, we truly hope you guys enjoy the film reviews and discussions, and go out and see this fantastic end of summer/ pre-spooky season horror double feature!

Juel Taylor directs the fire out of this film in his debut, taking inspiration from Blacksploitation films that came before, but he harnesses that power and gives his audience an absolute delightful and surprisingly wild story that plays out like a Twilight Zone episode. I can't believe this is his first movie, because it is shot beautifully, with a grainy tactile feel to it, and you can smell the fried chicken through the screen... but you may not want to eat it, allow Slick Charles to explain in a character / actor match made in Hollywood heaven! Jamie Foxx is electric, Boyega has range, and Teyonah Parris steals the show, don't miss it or our spoiler-free review of 'They Cloned Tyrone.' Oh, and David Alan Grier, come on! On Netflix now, go watch it! As you all know, I run a movie theater and my cohost sells insurance (dabbles), so please indulge as in the 3rd act of this episode as we go over Hollywood as a whole, summer blockbusters, and what movies coming down the pipeline that we are stoked for! Think of it as a catch-up discussion of the movie industry and I look to the near and uncertain future of cinema! From Indiana Jones and The Flash, to James Gunn and Dune 2, to the state of movie releases and potentially being moved back- join us in this fun discord! As always, we love you! Please consider sharing our podcast with those movie lovers around you, we would appreciate it more than you know! And, if you dig it, please consider dropping that 5-star review. We love it when we're judged! VIVA LA HORROR AND CINEMA!
BARBENHEIMER Showdown : Barbie vs Oppenheimer

BARBENHEIMER Showdown : Barbie vs Oppenheimer
The cultural movie-going phenomenon, Barbenheimer! What is it, and why?! Listen and find out why everyone is in pink and donning fedoras and porkpies! Spoiler free reviews and deep dives into 'Barbie' and 'Oppenheimer', and we keep score! Listen as the infamous Barbie movie dukes it out again Christopher Nolan's biopic epic, Oppenheimer, in a winner takes all Barbenheimer showdown! To introduce our fighters in the Barbenheimer cultural phenomenon, a weekend that has been etched into the modern movie theater zeitgeist, first we have Greta Gerwig's Barbie! Starring Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Issa Rae, and an ensemble of gorgeous set pieces and old-school Hollywood filming techniques! Our next fighter standing 5'7 and weighting probably 120 pounds is Openheimer! Robert Oppenheimer was actually 6 feet tall, but Cillian Murphy is 5'7 BUT NOW IN THIS FILM- he may as well be a giant. Christopher Nolan's Magnum Opus biopic epic 'Oppenheimer' has one of the most star-studded casts of recent date, and each give a breath-taking performance. Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Alden 'Solo' Ehrenreich, Jason Clarke, Matt D., and so so so many more that I don't want to spoil! Barbie takes on one of the most famous IPs of all time in a true existential and whimsical dollhouse of a movie that is tactile as it is beautiful, with incredible original music and knockout performances.  Ryan Gosling as Ken is unforgettable, a true out-of-perfect-body experience! In the other corner, J. Robert Oppenheimer, well his biopic 'Oppenheimer.'  This film is a dissociative nightmare come true, and one that Cillian sells to you in an all-time performance. A frightening insight into potentially the beginning of the end of mankind. Classical physicists and their understanding vs the revolutionary quantum mechanics and everything the world thought they understood about the universe is turned on its head. Enter the complicated visionary physicist and the godfather of the atomic bomb, Oppenheimer. Christopher Nolan calls Oppenheimer the most important man to ever live, and we debate exactly why that is during this podcast. Whether you are listening to this or not, your life is absolutely impacted by Oppenheimer. As a matter of fact, all life is, and that is terrifying. Nolan takes us into the mind of one of the most divisive characters in human history, America's Prometheus, expanding the medium of the motion picture to limits we've never seen before.This is the fight of the century, BAREBENHEIMER! Some spell it Barbenheimmer! Please enjoy, and if you feel compelled, leave us a wonderful 5-star review letting us know the winner of this bout in your eyes! We love you all! VIVA LA CINEMA!

Insidious: The Red Door Spoiler Free Review, 'Insidious' Films Ranked
In 2010 James Wan's 'Insidious' shocked movie theaters across the world with one of the most creative and downright terrifying horror films EVER! Now 13 years later Patrick Wilson directs and stars in the 5th installment to the Insidious franchise, Insidious: The Red Door. We cover Insidious 5 in a spoiler free review, and take you through the return of our beloved Lamberts, but even better... The Further! Oh, and Darth Maul, maybe... aka Lipstick Demon! (shown in trailers). We then cover Insidious (2010), Insidious: Chapter 2, Chapter 3, and The Last Key, and then we give our Insidious films rankings including where The Red Door fits into this haunting universe! We do spoiler the older films, so watch them first. And even if you never plan on listening to this but somehow stumbled upon it, please stop what you're doing and watch this incredible franchise. Insidious changed the trajectory of the horror film back in 2010, and for good reason! Insidious has one of the greatest stories ever told on the once silver screen, taking a ton of genre film tropes and absolutely turning them on their heads, repainting them, and having a blast throughout! When the 33 violins cut through the air of my movie theater back in 2010, my life forever changed. I never wanted to leave the hellish purgatory that is The Further, I wanted to know more about the 'mannequins' and the other devilish inhabitants, and i loved and rooted for the Lamberts as if they were my own family. James Wan and Leigh Whannell crafted one of the greatest horror stories ever, please do yourself a favor and go get lost in this franchise and report back- I'd love to read your thoughts over a 5 star review!  But you may want to bring Tucker and Specs along with you, along with the infamous Elise Rainier played brilliantly by horror fan fave Lin Shaye! Eat your heart out horror fans, but remember, they want what you have... life. We stand with the writers and actors. #WGA and #SAGAFTRA strike.

The Flash, The Blackening, American Graffiti (1973) Movie Review and Deep Dive
Barry Allen, aka The Flash, has finally arrived! And boy has it! We review The Flash in a spoiler free review, and then we announce we are entering the spoiler included deep dive at 00:35:06!  The Flash is directed by 2017 It's Andy Muschietti Spaghetti, staring Michael Keaton, Ezra Miller, Sasha Calle, and some all-star cameos I don't want to spoil here!  Does the Flash go by in a hurry, leaving you to pick up the pieces? Or is it the perfect storm of comic book movie glory that obliterates the DCEU and paves way for Gunn's DC? Listen and find out nerds! Plus, MICHAEL KEATON's BATMAN is back- does he live up!? Duh. But listen anyway. Plus, would you believe me if I told you Supergirl steals the show? Come find out. Up next is the highly anticipated, among horror fans, The Blackening! The Blackening finally found its way to theaters and I couldn't wait to watch it- the infamous Trump trailer was hysterical, but does Tim Story's horror comedy live up to the bar set in the trailer, or did the film show its hand too early? Starring Antoinette Robertson, Dewayne Perkins, Sinqua Walls, Jay Pharaoh, and the scene-stealer Jermaine Fowler, we take a trip to a remote cabin in the woods on Juneteenth and follow our hilarious cast as they are stalked by a killer I can only describe as a black-masked racist version of The Collector! Peak your interest? Find out if The Blackening is worth the trip to the movie theater in our entirely spoiler free review! Have you ever heard of Star Wars? Roger that. Ever wondered when Han Solo aka Harrison Ford was discovered, and how the heck it happened because he was a carpenter! What if I told you there was a movie that came before Star Wars by George Lucas, and that if it wasn't the success it was that he may have never got his epic space opera made? Welcome listeners to a stone cold classic film, American Graffiti! Welcome to maybe the best coming-of-age and one-night films of all time, with the immediate opening to a drive-in burger joint in Modesto, California, in 1962- that frozen in history heavenly time after WW2 but before Vietnam, where the mating ritual was done by the cars, the hair was slicked back, and cruising the strip was how you spent your nights. American Graffiti (1973) has one of the greatest soundtracks of all time, launched George Lucas, with the help of Godfather's Francis Ford Coppola, into Hollywood stardom. The plot is simple enough, a group of teens in Cali's central valley spend one final night after their high school graduation cruising the strip with their buddies before they each go off into separate directions in their lives. The plot is brought to life by Richard Dreyfuss, Ron Howard, Paul Le Mat, and so many more! But the magic is in the movie, do NOT miss our deep dive into this classic. See you in '62!
