Whether you're trimming the tree or wrapping presents, we'll keep you company with all the Christmas movie chat you need!

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! As we continue our journey through Spooky Season, this week we are joined by Phil Walsh - of "Phil at the Movies" and "DC Unlimited" - to discuss the 2021 film, "Halloween Kills"! Picking up exactly where "Halloween (2018)" left off, this is the second installment in the David Gordon Green requel trilogy. How does it compare to the iconic 1978 original and its immediate predecessor? Well, you'll just have to tune in to find out! Needless to say though, we all have *thoughts*.  So, settle in with your Pumpkin Spice Lattes, relax, and enjoy this new, festive episode!

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! This week, we are honored to welcome to the main show for the very first time ever Chris Evans of "Gathering of the Geeks" and "DC Unlimited" to discuss the beloved 1987 family-horror film, "The Monster Squad"!  Join us as we dive deep into our histories, walk through the plot, talk the Universal Monsters, praise all of the cheesy eighties effects,  writing, and music, and much, much more! Be warned though: there is some *slight* language used in our discussion, but as it's in service of a cheesy eighties flick, we thought it appropriate not to censor it this time around since, you know, it was basically PG-rated dialogue forty-years ago! So lock your doors, grab your crucifixes and garlic, turn out the lights, settle in with your favorite Autumn-themed drink, and enjoy this extraordinarily fun episode that we guarantee is the perfect way to kickstart your week and inject some much needed Halloween spirit into your Monday morning! As always, y'all, thanks for your love and support! ❤️ 🍂 🎃👻🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

In this episode of ’Tis the Podcast, we’re continuing our Spooky Month(s) celebration with a discussion of the 2011 horror film Scream 4. Joining us are our friends Jay from Film Strip Podcast and Kendall from 2 Girls 1 Crypt, as we dive into the world of Woodsboro and the latest installment of the Scream franchise. We explore the return of Sidney Prescott, played by Neve Campbell, and the new generation of teenagers who are being stalked by the infamous Ghostface killer. We also delve into the involvement of horror masterminds Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson, who brought the Scream franchise to life, and how their creative vision shaped the series. From the self-aware, meta approach to horror to the clever twists and turns, we break down what makes Scream 4 a standout in the franchise. We also examine the themes of social media, celebrity culture, and the commodification of trauma, which add a fresh layer of commentary to the film. So, grab your favorite horror movie marathon snacks, lock your doors, and join us for a thrilling discussion of Scream 4. Can you handle the truth about this horror classic?
