Steven Spielberg's studio got sued for stealing a movie. A judge said it wasn't a copy. Tonight we're the judges, and we're worse.This week on CinemaJam Versus: Rear Window (1954, dir. Alfred Hitchcock) vs Disturbia (2007, dir. D.J. Caruso). James Stewart in a wheelchair with a broken leg vs Shia LaBeouf under house arrest with an ankle monitor. Both spy on the neighbors, and both think the guy across the way is a killer. Two weeks after we called Fright Night a Rear Window copy, Sebastian brings the original and the movie that got taken to court over it. Pablo asks the questions.What we get into:- The Disturbia lawsuit: why a judge ruled it's not a copy of Rear Window.- Did the remake add anything? Suspense vs surprise, Hitchcock's rule.- Is the Fright Night remake really a remake of Disturbia?- Shia LaBeouf vs Jimmy Stewart, and the Grace Kelly chemistry problem.- Raymond Burr's salesman vs David Morse's suburban killer.- The 31-apartment set: watching Rear Window as two movies, or as a stage play.- A soundtrack that comes from the courtyard, and spotting Hitchcock's cameo.- Grace Kelly's entrance, one of the best in Hollywood history.- The flashbulb fight vs the basement bunker.- Why Rear Window is so hard to find on streaming.Six rounds, one winner. Watch to find out who gets out of the ring.Timestamps:00:00 Cold open: Spielberg got sued for stealing a movie02:25 Welcome to CinemaJam Versus02:52 Why Sebastian picked these two04:01 Round 1: Script08:44 Suspense vs surprise: what did the remake add?10:49 Is the Fright Night remake a remake of Disturbia?11:34 Round 2: Acting14:08 Shia LaBeouf vs Jimmy Stewart16:52 Grace Kelly19:04 The villain: Raymond Burr vs David Morse20:34 Round 3: Direction22:23 Two movies in one, like a stage play23:53 Round 4: Soundtrack & Vibe25:13 Spot the Hitchcock cameo25:53 Round 5: Memorable Moments26:04 Grace Kelly's entrance29:18 Suspense vs surprise, round two30:15 The flashbulb fight and the endings32:31 Round 6: Rewatchability33:16 Where can you watch Rear Window?34:22 Another Hitchcock Versus coming in December34:32 The winner35:07 Wrap-upMovies mentioned:- Rear Window (1954), dir.

A cabin, a book you shouldn't read out loud, and a guy who ends up fighting his own hand. Welcome to November.This month is all about horror comedies, and we open with *Evil Dead II* (*Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn*, 1987), Sam Raimi's cult classic starring Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams. It's a sequel that's also a remake: Raimi didn't own the rights to his own 1981 film, so he had to reshoot the beginning with a new actress as Linda. Producer Dino De Laurentiis was so sure the movie would get an X rating that he created a distribution company just for this film and released it unrated.Pablo and Sebas can't agree. Sebas always finds the ending too long, and realized he had never actually watched the last minutes all the way through. For Pablo, the slow part is the opening, and the last 30 minutes are "Evil Dead 1 on acid." We talk about Linda's stop-motion dance, the fight with the hand, the flying eyeball, the chainsaw, the trees with faces and "Groovy." Plus Bruce Campbell's legendary chin (it has its own book), the stick Raimi supposedly used to get reactions out of him, why Annie never worked for us, the Deadites as villains, and the remakes from Fede Álvarez onward. And the big question: was this the first real horror comedy?🗣️ Episode in Spanish with English subtitles (CC).⏱️ Timestamps00:00 What's worse: your car stolen, or your own movie?02:14 Welcome: horror comedy month03:30 Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell and the trilogy05:46 Synopsis and trailer08:19 Sebas: the ending drags10:53 Pablo: it's the beginning that's hard12:33 The "executive summary" of the first movie14:07 Annie, Jake and Bobby Joe arrive17:46 Bruce Campbell's chin19:01 Burn Notice, Ash vs Evil Dead and Bubba Ho-Tep21:35 The last 30 minutes: Evil Dead 1 on acid23:36 The trees and the Lovecraft touch25:18 Good Ash or Evil Ash?26:12 Annie and the scream that doesn't land27:42 Sam Raimi's stick30:12 The first horror comedy?32:17 The remakes: Evil Dead (2013), Rise and Burn34:12 The Deadites as villains36:00 From The Exorcist to the cabin in the woods37:43 Verdict40:16 Coming up in November43:08 Recommendations🎬 Mentioned: The Evil Dead (1981), Army of Darkness (1992), Ash vs Evil Dead, Citizen Kane, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, Hellraiser, Alien, The Exorcist, Evil Dead (2013), Evil Dead Rise, Evil Dead Burn, Friday the 13th, Wrong Turn, Cabin Fever, Burn Notice, and Bruce Campbell's book *If Chins Could Kill*.

Every guy over thirty has had this thought at least once: what if I just went back to college? Hollywood made it twice, and tonight only one of them graduates.This week on CinemaJam Versus: Back to School (1986, dir. Alan Metter) vs Old School (2003, dir. Todd Phillips). Rodney Dangerfield as a 64-year-old millionaire freshman vs Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn and Luke Wilson starting a frat to dodge adulthood. They're cousins, too: Harold Ramis (Animal House) rewrote one and Ivan Reitman (Animal House) produced the other. Pablo brings his picks, Sebastian asks the questions, and for the first time in a long while a Versus goes to the Wildcard.What we get into:- Saving your son vs escaping your life: which reason makes a better movie?- Is Old School just an extended SNL sketch?- Rodney Dangerfield alone vs the Frat Pack, plus a tribute to Rodney's eyes.- Alan Metter's other movie, and a Police Academy detour we'll have to finish someday.- Danny Elfman and Oingo Boingo playing the dorm party vs "Dust in the Wind" and "The Sound of Silence."- The Triple Lindy: '80s magic or a 64-year-old marionette?- Rodney's finals party or Mitch-a-Palooza: which party would you go to?- The tiebreaker: which movie represents its decade better?Six rounds, one Wildcard, one winner.

Every vampire has one rule: he can't come in unless you invite him. Tonight we decide which Fright Night gets invited in.This week on CinemaJam Versus: Fright Night (1985, dir. Tom Holland) vs Fright Night (2011, dir. Craig Gillespie). Same story, same names, 26 years apart: a horror-nerd kid, a vampire next door, and a TV "vampire killer" who's a total fraud. Sebastian brings the matchup (and admits this is the movie that traumatized him as a kid); Pablo, watching both for the first time, asks the questions. Six rounds: Chris Sarandon the seducer vs Colin Farrell the shark, practical goo vs CGI made for 3D, suburbia vs the Las Vegas desert.What we get into:- Is Fright Night really Rear Window with fangs? And why the remake skips the buildup.- Sarandon vs Farrell, Ragsdale vs Yelchin, and why Toni Collette earns an extra quarter of a point.- Who's more annoying: the original Evil Ed or Christopher Mintz-Plasse's Ed?- The minivan chase shot from inside the car vs the nightclub seduction to "Come to Me."- Sebastian's rant about the remake's 3D shots, and the mystery of Charley's pink lipstick.- The beer scene: Colin Farrell's most menacing moment.- Where Chris Sarandon is hiding in the remake.Six rounds, one winner, and only one gets invited in.

Compra nuestra camiseta "El Miedo Habla Español":https://cinemajam.printful.meUna mujer sube al santuario de la Virgen de Guadalupe a pedir un hijo. Lo consigue. Y desde ese día, algo con los huesos rotos empieza a seguirla.Seguimos el ciclo El miedo habla español con *Huesera* (*Huesera: The Bone Woman*, 2022), el debut de la mexicana Michelle Garza Cervera, protagonizado por Natalia Solián. Es la película más premiada del mes: Tribeca, Sitges y cuatro premios Ariel, entre ellos Mejor Ópera Prima y Mejor Guion Original. Esperábamos mucho de ella.Pablo arranca sin rodeos: "La verdad, me decepcionó muchísimo". Los dos coincidimos en que Garza Cervera sabe asustar. La persona que se tira desde la ventana del frente, la mano que agarra el tobillo debajo de la cama y las manitos que rompen la cuna están entre los mejores sustos del ciclo, y para Pablo la escena del tobillo es "el temor fundamental, primordial". El problema es todo lo demás: un drama que por momentos parece telenovela, un esposo que es "un cero a la izquierda", flashbacks que no aportan y un ritual de curanderas que prometía ser *A Dark Song* y se acaba en dos minutos. "Nos vendieron humo."También hablamos de la fotografía de Nur Rubio Sherwell, que eleva la película, de por qué el terror en español siempre parte de la familia, y de con qué la enfrentaríamos en un Versus: *The Babadook* o *El bebé de Rosemary* (spoiler: sería un 6-0).⏱️ Timestamps00:00 ¿El terror en español tiene más mito y más familia?01:39 Bienvenida: El miedo habla español03:43 Sinopsis y tráiler05:03 Primeras impresiones: "Me decepcionó muchísimo"07:25 La historia en resumen11:03 Fotografía y música12:38 El santuario y la escena del balcón14:53 Natalia Solián y la pesadilla del tobillo16:47 La cuna17:40 Las curanderas: ¿dónde quedó A Dark Song?19:12 Octavia y un final sin explicación21:14 Los flashbacks y la camiseta de The Cure21:55 ¿Quería o no quería ser madre?23:35 El potencial de Michelle Garza Cervera24:57 Las tres preguntas25:37 ¿Con qué la pondríamos en un Versus?27:13 Recomendaciones y despedida🎬 Mencionadas: Poltergeist, A Dark Song, The Witch, Vuelven (Tigers Are Not Afraid), El páramo, The Babadook, El bebé de Rosemary (Rosemary's Baby), La mano que mece la cuna (The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, 2025, de Michelle Garza Cervera).

1981 had two werewolf movies made by a teacher and his student, and the Academy already picked a winner. Tonight we pick again.This week on CinemaJam Versus: The Howling (1981, dir. Joe Dante) vs An American Werewolf in London (1981, dir. John Landis). Both came out within five months of each other, both grew out of Rick Baker's workshop, and Roger Ebert gave both of them two stars. Pablo brings the matchup; Sebastian asks the questions. Six rounds: David Naughton vs Dee Wallace, fog and shadows vs a werewolf in full light, three versions of "Blue Moon," and the transformation scene that won the first-ever Oscar for makeup.What we get into:- A horror movie that turns into a joke about TV news vs a comedy that turns into a tragedy. Which script knows what it's doing?- Why we're both underwhelmed by Karen White, and why Griffin Dunne steals every scene he's in (yes, he's Madonna's love interest in Who's That Girl).- Joe Dante hides his wolves in fog; John Landis puts his under the lights in Piccadilly Circus. The one round we couldn't settle.- Rick Baker's living-room transformation vs Rob Bottin's bubbling skin. Pablo prefers one werewolf's design and the other's transformation.- The Howling's opening that neither of us remembered, and Pablo's guilty-pleasure sequel.- Bonus: the third 1981 werewolf movie you probably haven't seen.Six rounds, one winner.

Compra nuestra Camiseta: "El Miedo Habla Español" https://cinemajam.printful.meUna casa en El Paso llena de cadáveres. Un solo sobreviviente. Y en el interrogatorio, cinco historias de terror que nadie quiere creer.Seguimos el ciclo El miedo habla español con Satanic Hispanics (2022), una antología de terror hecha por cinco directores latinos. Mike Mendez dirige la historia que lo envuelve todo, El viajero, con Efren Ramírez como un hombre que lleva siglos huyendo de la Santa Muerte. Adentro: También lo vi de Demián Rugna (Aterrados, Cuando acecha la maldad), El vampiro de Eduardo Sánchez (The Blair Witch Project), Nahuales de Gigi Saúl Guerrero y El martillo de Zanzíbar de Alejandro Brugués.Pablo la escogió sabiendo que a Sebastián probablemente no le iba a gustar, y acertó. Para Sebastián todos los segmentos arrancan con fuerza y se desinflan al final: "no me pareció aburridora, sino que fue más como decepcionante". Pablo la defiende por la historia que lo envuelve todo, con un tercer acto que es puro Terminator, y por la comedia de El martillo de Zanzíbar, con un monólogo del vendedor cubano que se roba la película. Los dos coinciden en que Demián Rugna es el que mejor lleva su estilo al formato corto, y en el mejor susto de toda la antología: lo que aparece debajo de la mesa.Además, Sebastián se pone a prueba: ¿cómo arreglaría un segmento con 20 minutos? Y esta semana CinemaJam cumple dos años.⏱️ Timestamps00:00 Rugna y Eduardo Sánchez: ¿quién hizo qué?03:31 Dos años de CinemaJam04:13 Por qué una antología05:09 Los cinco directores y la sinopsis07:37 Primeras impresiones: grandes comienzos, finales flojos10:18 El viajero y la Santa Muerte13:53 Las historias detrás de cada segmento18:16 El reto: arreglar un segmento en 20 minutos21:21 El viajero y Terminator24:44 Las actuaciones25:49 El martillo de Zanzíbar: comedia al estilo Evil Dead28:31 ¿Qué director lo hizo mejor?31:19 El susto debajo de la mesa32:01 ¿La recomendamos?35:54 Recomendaciones🎬 Mencionadas: The Blair Witch Project, Cuando acecha la maldad, Aterrados, Exists, Willow Creek, V/H/S, The Terminator, The Man From Earth, What We Do in the Shadows, Evil Dead, John Wick, The ABCs of Death 2, México Bárbaro, V/H/S/85, El Páramo.

Same year, same blueprint: two killers hiding in plain sight, one with a motel and one with a camera.This week on CinemaJam Versus: Psycho (1960, dir. Alfred Hitchcock) vs Peeping Tom (1960, dir. Michael Powell). Sebastian brings the British shocker that was rediscovered long after its release. Pablo brings the Hitchcock landmark everyone has copied. Six rounds, Anthony Perkins vs Karlheinz Böhm, Bernard Herrmann's violins vs a score Pablo calls generic, and one question that splits the hosts: is Peeping Tom a slasher film? Plus: thank you for 1,200+ subscribers on YouTube!What we get into:- Peeping Tom puts the killer at the center of the movie, a choice Sebastian says he didn't see again until the 2000s: "This is our hero, this is our villain, everything in the movie is around him."- A killer who tries to look normal vs a killer who never does: Perkins vs Böhm.- How Hitchcock plants a newspaper in your head and keeps you hooked on it for ten minutes.- The skull Pablo swears is hidden in the final shot (Sebastian thinks he imagined it).- Slasher, or something else?

Five kids, a stolen phone, and a cartel poster hunting them down. The ghosts are the least of their worries.We continue our series Fear Speaks Spanish with Tigers Are Not Afraid (Vuelven, 2017), written and directed by Mexican filmmaker Issa López. Estrella loses her mother to the narco war and joins a street gang of children led by El Shine, who stole the wrong phone from the wrong people. Armed with three wishes, a trail of blood guiding her, and a tiger painted on the walls, the film blends dark fairy tale with urban horror, with Guillermo del Toro serving as its great fairy godfather.Sebastián chose it for its 97% on Rotten Tomatoes and for something more personal: as Colombians who grew up in the '80s and '90s, the violence chasing these children is not fiction. We discuss why social realism works better than the supernatural, why the jump scares telegraph themselves, the natural performances of Paola Lara and Juan Ramón López (with echoes of Rodrigo D: No futuro), Tenoch Huerta before he was Namor, and the inevitable comparisons to Pan's Labyrinth and La Llorona.

Hollywood made Freddy and Jason fight in 2003 and nobody really won. Tonight we finish it with the originals: no sequels, no remakes.This week on CinemaJam Versus: Friday the 13th (1980, dir. Sean S. Cunningham) vs A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984, written and directed by Wes Craven). The movie that sold a date before it had a script vs the movie that saved New Line Cinema. Summer camp vs your bedroom, the lake vs the dream. Sebastian and Pablo put the two '80s horror icons through six rounds, before Jason was Jason and Freddy was still Fred. Plus: it's CinemaJam's two-year anniversary, and the month we crossed 1,000 subscribers on YouTube. Thank you!What we get into:- Two movies that kill a future star in bed: Kevin Bacon vs Johnny Depp in his first movie ever.- Heather Langenkamp's Nancy vs Adrienne King's Alice: the ultimate '80s final girl.- Why Friday the 13th's camera feels like a Halloween copycat, and what makes Craven's long arms and shadows so hard to imitate.- "Kill, kill, kill" vs "One, two, Freddy's coming for you": the only round that wasn't a blowout.- The blood geyser that predicted The Substance, and the two endings that built two franchises.One of these icons takes the belt by a landslide. Watch to find out who.Timestamps:00:00 Cold open: $300K in, almost $50 million out03:01 Welcome to CinemaJam Versus03:38 Why these two?
