Mater takes center stage this week for the oft-maligned spy parody CARS 2! While critics at the time may have relegated this to the bottom of the Pixar heap, the film may have finally found it's audience. It certainly has with our guest, certified CARS 2 superfan Hannah Mattes, who joins us to debate the finer points of this detour from the CARS formula. Then, we're playing the PS3/360 era game adaptation, a sprightly and fun action racer with a wide range of playable characters.

Disney/Pixar's Cars

Friday Nov 08, 2024

Ka-chow! This week we're kicking off a new miniseries all about Pixar's CARS, which is not only a successful film franchise but is one of Disney's most successful toy lines ever! We're kicking off a look at all three films in the franchise, starting this week with the 2006 original CARS! Then, we're getting behind the wheel of the Xbox/PS2-era game adaptation, a slick, kid-friendly racer.

This week we're checking out the 2001 Disney adventure ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE! A box office disappointment upon release, the film has grown a steady following over the years, in part because of just how stinkin' hot all the characters are. At least that's the contention of our guest, comedian/writer/filmmaker Marissa Macy! Join us as we talk about the film and it's multiple game adaptations, including the rare Disney-sanctioned first-person shooter!

Shhhh! Spooky month concludes this week with one of our more recent movies, and definitely our most recent game. We're talking about John Krasinski's 2018 hit A QUIET PLACE, an effective, largely silent thriller that launched a new franchise. We unpack our complicated feelings about this film before switching over to A QUIET PLACE: THE ROAD AHEAD, a brand-spanking-new first-person survival horror game with some cool ideas!

One, two, Freddy's coming for you! Spooky month continues with the 1984 classic A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, Wes Craven's smash hit that introduced iconic killer Freddy Kruger to the zeitgeist. Jarrod Hornbeck of Puppet Masters / Castle Freaks returns to talk about one of the formative franchises of his budding horror obsession, before we talk about the NES side-scrolling action game!

Monster House

Friday Oct 11, 2024

This week, it's the movie that taunts us with it's house-ness... MONSTER HOUSE! This 2006 animated horror-comedy was an early project for Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab, and they bring a welcome amount of wit and energy to this rare horror film for kids. We're covering the flick before turning to the surprisingly enjoyable Gamecube adaptation!

This week, a podcast is the warmest place to hide... 
We're kicking off a full month of horror movies and games, and we're starting with an absolute banger: John Carpenter's THE THING! Carpenter's film was looked at as a career killer when it debuted in 1982, but it's grown in estimation over the years and is now considered one of the canonical great horror films. We're joined by special guest Keith Charba as we discuss the groundbreaking movie, as well as the surprisingly innovative 2002 Xbox game adaptation.

Ailish Collins fills in for Justin this week on what may be our most contentious film to date: 1985's THE GOONIES! Is the film a timeless family classic or is it a victim of nostalgia goggles? We enjoy a firey debate on the subject before covering the odd NES pseudo-sequel, THE GOONIES II, which introduces a mermaid to the mythology.

Pup, pup and away! 
This week we're looking at our most recent movie, the 2022 animated riff on the DC universe, LEAGUE OF SUPER-PETS! Featuring a ridiculously stacked cast and a surprising fidelity to DC lore, the film is a fun if derivative riff on hits like SECRET LIFE OF PETS, only with superheroes. We're talking about the film and it's recent game adaptation, THE ADVENTURES OF ACE AND KRYPTO, while battling our greatest nemesis yet: COVID!

Ki ki ki, ma ma ma... 
That sound can only mean one thing: Jason's back in town! Or he will be at least, because this week we're talking about the original FRIDAY THE 13th, the slasher sensation that would spawn one of the most indelible horror icons on the 20th century. Austin improv great Mickey May joins us as we take a deep-dive into 1980 classic and it's sequels, before diving in to two of our most notable game adaptations yet: the infamous 1989 NES version, and the not-long-for-this-world 2017 asymmetrical slasher!
