We Love To Watch

We'd like to welcome you to our Be Our Guest Month, where we're covering the mockumentaries of Christopher Guest. To kickoff, we starting with a Rob Reiner movie *featuring* Christopher Guest, which is closer to Albert Brooks' Real Life than The Office (but we'll get there!). Oh, and it's also probably one of the funniest, most quotable movies of all time.

Our Cult month comes to a close with a Halloween super-sized episode covering Mandy, The Wicker Man, and Drive Angry. What do they all have in common? Nick Cage wants the madness and bees to just stop.

Welcome to Episode #51 of the only podcast where your hosts, Aaron Armstrong and Marcus Jones, do a minute-by-minute analysis of 2021's The Night of the Animated Dead. We're joined by our first guest, Ethan Warren, senior editor for Bright Walls / Dark Room. If this is the first episode you're seeing in your feed, we apologize for the error and we're trying to correct it.

Our Cult month must have made a mistake, because this movie Midsommar, is about a nice little community up in Sweden. Sure, they act a little different than a lot of villages, but a cult? They seem so friendly! Carrie N. joins us to figure out what's going on at the ol' festive and which huts you want to be in (and which to avoid! for the perfect Midsommar vacation.

Bad news for Bill Fox fans (aka Bill Foxactics)! He's been sucked into an Ouija board, and isn't on this episode! Oh no! Ryan, Aaron, and Pete, who have watched a very reasonable, non-relationship destroying amount of movies, will try to make spooky hay without him! We will capture the mummy's toes, and rescue Bill before Spooktober is over? Only time, and a little bit of alligator fetus blood, will tell!

Ben Wheatley's arrival as a horror artist, and our next entry in We Love to Watch Would Like to Give You a Pamphlet month, KILL LIST.

Our Cult Movie month gets lost and asks to stay the night at Hands: The Manos of Fate. While the movie is certainly incompetent, it's also effectively creepy and odd! We're not here to riff; we're here to love, even if that manos content is for an audience of monos.

We Love to Watch kicks off a new month, "We Love to Watch Would Like You To Read This Pamphlet," an entire month on cults for Spooktober 2021. Karyn Kusama's film condenses generalized anxiety into a situation where it just might be warranted, at an awkward dinner party where the hosts may be trying to recruit them into a cult.

They want spooks? Give 'em spooks! We're kicking off our annual look at the new-to-us horror movies we plane to watch during this, our most scared time of the year. Not only is Bill Fox, horror virgin, back to dip his wick in another time, but we're joined by friend of the show, Ryan Boland, for a spooky foursome of spook watchers. Spooks? Spooks! Join us next time for a mid-month check-in! BOOOOOOOOO!!!!! (the scary kind, not the kind that indicates you don't like this content. )

Gotta get away? Not if it's with Alie Fox, no siree, Bob. We commit to just staying put when we wrap our month with 1986's The Mosquito Coast. Experience the thrill of discovering that Harrison Ford could be an asshole before you could see it anytime he was ever on a talk show. You've seen him on the new crashing planes? See him here in his younger years crashing a boat! We're joined by ludditerobot.com 's Rick Kelley, of Rick Kelley fame. and he also doesn't like Alie Fox.

This month's theme is sponsored by Sean Fowle, and he came on to guest for one of his favorite movies, WILD. You can find him on Letterboxd. https://letterboxd.com/grails28/ Reese Witherspoon starred and co-produced this movie alongside Jean-Marc Vallée, her future collaborator on Big Little Lies.

They made a movie out of a GIF!? You bet your sweet behind they did! One the exact opposite! Our Gotta Get Away Month continues with 1972's Jeremiah Johnson, a movie that made (adjusted for inflation)approximately 800 Billion dollars and is now primarily known as a GIF that makes people incorrectly horny for Zach Galifinakus.

We kick off September's theme, about getting back to nature, with a tale of that going horribly wrong - GRIZZLY MAN. Werner Herzog's sympathetic yet critical documentary traces Timothy Treadwell's life with the bears over 13 summers.

Our Blade Boys month comes to an end with a special episode on our journey through the 25 year history of the MIgnola-verse. We are covering broad arcs with spoilers, but not getting into too much details of literally thousands and thousands of pages we read over the course of the last year. Thanks for joining us on such a fun double month, and we're excited for what awaits us in September!

MIGNOLA & DEL TORO GO TO HOLLYWOOD summer takes us to dark, dark places with Neil Marshall's HELLBOY soft-reboot staring David Harbour. Next week, we end the summer on a more positive note - the Hellboy comics wrap-up

While the first Hellboy movie is great, the sequel is leaps and bounds ahead of it, and may just be the best superhero movie of 2008. We brought back Ryan Boland to chat about what makes this golden army so gosh darn special.

For our summer of Mignola & Del Toro go to Hollywood, we wanted to cover some of the animated side stories that were produced in the 2000s that sprang from the minds of Mignola or carried on the legacy of Blade as a character. We'll be covering: Hellboy: Sword of Storms Hellboy: Blood & Iron Hellboy: Iron Shoes Blade (Animated Series) The Amazing Screw-On Head (Pilot for animated TV series)

Blade Boys Month hits our first, but unfortunately, not our last, low point with 2004's Blade: Trinity. You may have heard one of the hosts say he remembers this being good, but he was wrong! Dead wrong! This movie is bad! David Goyer is bad! We're bad for thinking this might be fine!

Go straight to Hell, boy! MIGNOLA AND DEL TORO GO TO HOLLYWOOD is in full swing with the big red guy we all love. We're joined by Ryan (live in studio - thanks Moderna!) another fan of the series as we discuss Guillermo Del Toro's HELLBOY.

Blade Boys month reaches the best Blade movie of all time, Blade II. We're joined by guest and fellow Blade II superfan, Zak Santucci, who's life was changed irrevocably by seeing this movie in theaters (for good? tune in to find out!) Join us next week as we finally get to the "Boy" in "Blade Boys," as we cover 2004's Hellboy!
