Happy Hanksgiving, everyone! Like a true podcast family, we invited Thomas from Almost Plausible back to talk about a Tom Hanks film that, basically, no one has seen! What? Does the plot of an American soldier who falls in love with a Jewish woman in Mandatory Palestine not appeal to you?? This is one of Hank's earlier roles coming fresh off of Splash! We learned many things, mostly why this movie has so much Spanish and that dating someone during a world war can be challenging, to say the least.

Finally, the long-awaited reboot of The Crow is here! Can the guy who played Pennywise live up to Brandon Lee's iconic role? The trailers didn't look promising, as they seemed to have swapped out fun goth for emo goth, but maybe that could work! Perhaps the new focus on The Crow's actual love interest, played by FKA twigs, would give a much-needed perspective shift in what is usually a gross and gory murder fest. Smear that tattoo ink below your eyes, put on your headphones, and find out if this movie actually deserved to become a box office bomb.

Did you know two horror movies with the same premise and name were released two years apart? That's right, Speak No Evil, whose trailer has greeted movie theaters for most of 2024, was based on a Danish film of the same name. We had to know what changes were made between the two, so naturally, we watched two halves of the movie each! So, we know the whole story regardless of whether it was intended for a European or American audience. This is easily our longest podcast yet, but you get the plot of two movies for the price of one podcast! What a deal.

Honestly, we had a fantastic time recording this, and maybe we'll do it again in the future. I hope you enjoy it, listener!

We're out of the Halloween months, but that doesn't mean the horror has to stop. This week, we combine horror with our other love, Pinocchio. That's right, we're watching Pinocho's Revenge! What if Pinocchio was evil and told people to kill? What's fascinating is we thought this would be one of the worst films we've seen in a while, but they're actually cooking some gas. It may not be Hank Hill approved, but there's more under the surface than other films that turn childhood characters into horrific monsters. Be sure to listen to our other Pinocchio episodes as well!

What's a better movie to add to the Spooktacular list than a movie about a haunted pool? Night Swim follows a family who just recently bought a house with a brand-new pool.

Creepy dudes start appearing in the water, scaring the two children of the family. Will the children be able to alert their family to the dangers of swimming without a lifeguard?

This Spooktacular season continues with another recommended, so bad it's a good movie, Cathy's Curse. Her dad's dead sister curses poor little Cathy, I think? This movie's motivations are also a mess plus goofy production issues. For example, an old man tries barging into a door, and the actor accidentally opens the door and closes it to try again. The cut is left in the film! This cheap exorcist knockoff does try and do its own thing, but it still has some of the strangest line readings in all cinema.

The Spooktacular season continues with a mouthful of a title: Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II. This Canadian horror film is a sequel to Prom Night in name only. It follows the wonderfully evil Mary Lou as she possesses a teenager to acquire the title of prom queen. It's the most '80s slasher flick we've seen in a while. It checks all the corny boxes you'd want and has pretty shockingly solid visual effects!
