TV Party Tonight: Crystal Lake (2026)

Tonight on Triple Feature we're reviewing a trio of shark movies, The Bay, Deep Water and Chum. Director Phil Volken's *The Bay* stars Francesca Eastwood, Dani Oliveros and Alexander Wraith in a survival thriller set in Thailand but filmed largely in Hawaii. The production used practical shark effects and real underwater footage, but reviews criticized its pacing and screenplay. Renny Harlin directs *Deep Water*, starring Aaron Eckhart and Ben Kingsley, about airplane crash survivors stranded in shark-infested waters. Critics praised the disaster sequences while questioning the familiar plot and character development. Jonathan Zuck's *Chum*, starring Alice Eve, follows a fisherman using kidnapped tourists as bait to hunt a shark. Critics and audiences have been particularly negative about its effects, editing and performances. We'll compare the three productions, their casts, filmmaking choices and critical and audience reception.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

Tonight on Damn You Hollywood, we're reviewing Godzilla Minus Zero.Takashi Yamazaki returns to postwar Japan with the sequel to his Academy Award-winning Godzilla Minus One. Set in 1949, the film reunites us with Koichi Shikishima and Noriko as a recovering nation faces another monstrous catastrophe. The original film transformed Godzilla from a spectacle of destruction into a terrifying examination of survivor's guilt, national trauma, and the courage required to keep living. But can lightning strike twice? Does a bigger threat deepen the emotional and historical significance of the story, or does franchise escalation undermine what made the first film extraordinary? Tonight, we'll examine the performances, visual effects, monster action, and historical context while asking whether Yamazaki has successfully expanded his vision of Godzilla or simply revisited familiar territory. We'll also discuss where Minus Zero belongs in the larger Godzilla legacy.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

Tonight on Sessions, we're taking our reviews of Band of Brothers, The Pacific and Masters of the Air and making a Sabaton-like song about the sacrifices of our military. Three acclaimed World War II series, three very different battlefields, and one question: how do you honor people whose experiences you can never fully understand? We dig back into our conversations about leadership under fire, the psychological cost of surviving combat, the courage of bomber crews, and the moral complications that don't disappear when the shooting stops. Then we turn those observations—not episode recaps—into thunderous military power metal. Expect galloping guitars, a chorus built to shout along with, and just enough of our trademark irreverence to explain why the song is called “Tanks for the Memories.” Because the joke is in the title, not the tribute. I wasn't there, but I care. Join us as we turn remembrance, gratitude, and three TV reviews into one heavy-metal anthem.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Tonight on Triple Feature it's a grab bag of streaming releases from the month of October: Matchbox - The Movie, Animals and Sacrifice.First, Mattel continues its cinematic expansion with *Matchbox*, an Apple TV action adventure produced by Skydance and directed by *Extraction* filmmaker Sam Hargrave. John Cena headlines this toy-inspired espionage thriller, which earned largely negative reviews despite praise for its stunt work.Next, Ben Affleck returns to the director's chair with Netflix's *Animals*, produced through Artists Equity. Co-starring Kerry Washington, the kidnapping thriller reunites Affleck with his crime-drama roots but received harsh criticism for its screenplay and uneven execution.Finally, *Athena* director Romain Gavras delivers *Sacrifice*, an independently financed, mythology-infused satire starring Chris Evans and Anya Taylor-Joy. Filmed on challenging European locations, this provocative production divided critics with its collision of environmental extremism, celebrity culture and absurdist violence.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

Tonight on Triple Feature, we're focusing on legendary horror director Wes Craven, specifically looking at Shocker, Vampire in Brooklyn and My Soul To Take.From an executed serial killer who returns through electricity to a seductive vampire stalking New York City and a supernatural mystery involving a murdered family and seven teenagers, these three films represent some of Craven's stranger and more divisive work.Across three decades, Craven repeatedly explored possession, fractured families, inherited evil, and the struggle between individuals and authority. But do these recurring themes reveal a filmmaker wrestling with his own psychological demons, or a director recycling the same ideas with diminishing returns?We'll examine the performances, outrageous storytelling, supernatural mythology, and occasional absurdity of these three films while asking whether Craven's reputation as a master of horror extends beyond his most celebrated franchises. Join us for a journey through the weird, wild, and frequently ridiculous side of Wes Craven.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

With more and more filmmakers getting their start on smaller video platforms and social media, could this be the future of cinema?

Tonight on Damn You Hollywood we're reviewing Clayface. Directed by James Watkins from a screenplay by Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini, the DC Studios body-horror film stars Tom Rhys Harries as Matt Hagen, alongside Naomi Ackie, Max Minghella and Eddie Marsan. Developed under James Gunn and Peter Safran, the project emerged from Flanagan's pitch to reinvent a classic Batman villain as the centerpiece of a standalone horror tragedy. Produced by DC Studios and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, Clayface occupies an unusual position in the new DC Universe: a Batman-related story without Batman at its center. Its development also coincided with a historic corporate transition, as Paramount Skydance moved to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, raising questions about the future of DC's theatrical strategy. We examine the film's development, production, casting, comic-book origins and place in a changing Hollywood.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

Tonight on TV Party Tonight, we're reviewing, Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story. Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan return to Netflix with the fourth installment of their controversial true-crime anthology, following Jeffrey Dahmer, the Menendez brothers, and Ed Gein. Developed around the themes of Victorian repression and female rage, the eight-episode season stars Ella Beatty as Lizzie Borden, alongside Vicky Krieps, Charlie Hunnam, Rebecca Hall, Billie Lourd, and Sarah Paulson. Director Max Winkler embraces a blend of gothic horror, dark comedy, and psychological melodrama, with production taking place in Los Angeles and Rome. But the series has attracted criticism for its extravagant violence, uneven storytelling, and questionable historical accuracy. Although Borden was acquitted of murdering her father and stepmother in 1893, the show portrays her guilt as fact, inventing relationships, motives, and additional crimes. Tonight, we're examining the performances, production choices, and whether Monster's dramatic ambitions justify its liberties with history.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59
