Cinema Chat (And More) With My Parents

Thanks to the success of the Stacy Horror Movie Challenge, Stacy lived through 2018's horror masterpiece (at least, according to Juan) Hereditary. On a lighter note, Juan and Stacy finished Heated Rivalry and had many thoughts. And, of course, Countdown to Christmas continues on Hallmark -- this time, it's Forgotten Holiday! Plus an apology for the poor sound quality in the first two segments, Juan adds lyrics to the podcast's opening theme, Stacy remembers her "Morning Musical" - and more!00:00 An Apology from Cinema Chat01:02 Stacy is Having an Issue with Her Head Mic01:35 Graham and Juan's History of Creating Theme Songs06:17 Stacy Horror Movie Challenge Update!08:36 Hereditary (2018) Review With Spoilers23:30 Juan Uses his Upgrade Card on Stacy25:41 Good Sound Quality is Back26:30 Forgotten Holiday Review (Hallmark Christmas)31:59 Heated Rivalry - Season 1 Review39:03 Stacy Remembers an Emotional Story44:37 Suffs50:52 Fan Feedback58:12 IG: @cinemachatwithmyparents | [email protected]

This episode hits different, as Juan went by himself to see the new Zach Cregger-directed videogame-inspired horror film Resident Evil.
