Happy Thanksgiving! Feast your ears(?) on our latest helping of WTM. Hunter Duesing joined to help us break down Eli Roth’s modern Holiday Classic, Thanksgiving (2023). Kick back, loosen the belt and listen in as we discuss Roth’s carving of American Consumerism. Per usual, this episode is Stuffed full of tangents, so be sure to listen on an empty stomach. Enjoy.

At long last we wrap up our focus on horror remakes with the 1978 classic, Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Stan Switek is back to help us break it all down and to differentiate between human and pod person. The usual tangents ensue, and in fact there was a pretty decent one that lasted longer than 10 minutes at the onset, so to appease all the folks that would wish we would stay more on topic, I cut it and pasted it to the end of the episode. So if you stick around after the outro and Out-Of-Context clip there's another dozen minutes or so of mind(ful)less banter for your enjoyment. We'll be back next week with Hunter Deusing of the Midnight Movie Cowboys to discuss a new Holiday Horror classic, Thanksgiving (2023). We now have a YouTube channel!

The long overdue return of the Mirrorball Movie Cowboys podcast is finally here! Mulder and Stu (from the wonderful Midnight Movie Cowboys) podcast are both massive fans of everything Disco. So back in 2022 they decided to make an offshoot series of episodes focusing on Disco films and the soundtracks within them. Season 1 consisted of 3 episodes focusing on Boogie Nights (1997), The Last Days of Disco (1998) and 54 (1998) respectively and were re-released over the past 6 months. Season 2 will consist of 4 episodes, all of which have been recorded. The first episode of this new season see's us cover the classic Thank God It's Friday (1978). Featuring a stellar soundtrack and live performances from The Commodores and Donna Summer as well as co-starring Jeff Goldblum, Debra Winger and Paul Jabara, this film has it all! (almost) Episode 2 will see us cover Roller Boogie (1979) starring Linda Blair. Episode 3 was technically already released as WTM Ep. 343 Skatetown U.S.A. (1979). Episode 4 is a bit of a surprise and will hopefully be released around Christmas time. Be sure to check out the incredible Midnight Movie Cowboys podcast! They've been around roughly 15 years so there's plenty of episodes for you to comb through. These Mirrorball Movie Cowboys episodes will also be posted on their feed as well.

As we celebrate All Hallow's Eve, Zolly Becker joined us for a look back at the 2003 remake/reboot of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
