Since the early history of science fiction, the narrative of first contact with an alien civilization has been mined deeply and well for commentary about how we interact within our own. It’s a wonderful metaphor, because it’s prismatic and adaptable – a Swiss army knife of a thought problem one author can use to speak […]
After successfully booting…Then booting…Then booting… Then rallying, we’re back with the second half of our FANTASTIC FEST coverage. Too much action for only two episodes. Stay tuned this week, for more episodes featuring Matt and Trevor talking about the movies (and television shows) that you should be looking forward to in the weeks and months […]
There’s simply no denying it. Even the most jaded television consumer has to admit that the medium is entering, if not a new golden age, a new high plateau. One can almost trace a line of strong television storytelling starting with HBO’s BAND OF BROTHERS and DEADWOOD and follow it on to more contemporary shows […]
It’s our special two ‘hawks in one diner episode. We’ve been going through some Fantastic Fear and Loathing, but unlike Hunter T., Matt and Trevor are actually covering the event. We’re live on tape from a Texas pillowfort, bringing you first half coverage from where our boots are on the ground (toes up much of […]
It seems like every year at Fantastic Fest, there’s a movie that is really solid, that doesn’t seem like it gets any attention. Maybe because it played up against a big Hollywood release. Maybe the second time the movie played it was up against a sleeper hit or a buzz screening. Point being, it […]
The Unfilmable H.P. Lovecraft “Herbert West has a perfectly good head on his shoulders, and another one in a dish on his desk.” Throwing back to an episode originally recorded in 2015, we present to you this treasure from the vaults. The boys look into the literary auteur, H.P. Lovecraft, a pulp writer from the […]

It’s SUICIDE SQUAD.It isn’t very good.But people seem to have a problem with people thinking it isn’t very good.We feel like we make a compelling case, and we certainly don’t blame anyone who disagrees with us. This is the world we live in. Will Smith, […]
It was 2001. Shortly after the attacks on 9/11. Directed by Michael Mann and starring the likes of Will Smith, Jamie Foxx, John Voight, Mario Van Peebles, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Joe Morton; the film ALI is released to critical acclaim and earning two Oscar nominations in short order. It would be easy to tell […]
Another one from the year-one vaults. In this never-before-heard “lost” episode, the guys in the Nighthawks diner bent their early format a bit. Discussing two movies simultaneously, the pair watched the classic street gang genre opus THE WARRIORS and also watched the documentary RUBBLE KINGS about the very real world that inspired THE WARRIORS. The […]
Well ladies and gentlemen, I can’t speak for Matt, but when we started this podcast one year ago, I wasn’t sure what it would become. I didn’t know if it would be just us talking to the ether, finding an audience exclusively among our friends and parents, or if it would actually be (what we […]
