Introducing: OSCARS... What Were They Thinking?!

Listener Request Month continues with our number 4 most requested film, LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE! We talk about making an indie-by-numbers, decrying toxic positivity while simultaneously buying into it, and the ending of the movie which SERIOUSLY GUYS IT SUCKS.   This episode is brought to you by CUDDLY.

For every $20 donated through a one-time donation, CUDDLY will gift a soft and snuggly blanket to a rescue animal in need.

Ever watched the Oscars and thought, “What were they thinking?” Why do some films sweep Best Picture while better ones are overlooked? Why do great actors miss out on Oscars for their best roles? And why do beloved box office hits get snubbed while little-seen films rake in awards? If these questions resonate, check out this new podcast.

It's the final week of Spooky Scary Movie Month and we're talking about, of all things, HOUSE OF WAX! We discuss how this movie selection came to be, how the stars of this movie are playing "twins who may or may not be attracted to one another", and discuss the gross and misogynistic "See Paris Die" campaign that was used to advertise this film. Ugh! The 00s!    Produced by Andrew Ivimey as part of The From Superheroes Network   Visit www.FromSuperheroes.com for more podcasts, articles, video series, web comics, and more.

It's Spooky Scary Movie Month, and we're kicking it off with YOU'RE NEXT! We talk about super gory kills, a title that doesn't quite fit with the plot, and how everyone's schemes are just a touch too precious.

Combine some innovative (for the time) special effects with a plot that makes you go "...why", cause we're talking about FLIGHT OF THE NAVIGATOR! We discuss 80s children's content,  kids driving cars, and a plot that both is and isn't TOO scary.    This episode is brought to you by CUDDLY.

Stare at a glory hole (please don't) and get blasted across the room by urinal water (no) cause we're talking about THE SWEETEST THING!
