Ep -276: Puppet Master.

In this episode one of Forever Midnight's top tier Patreon patrons chose 1990's Jacob's ladder for the crew to check and chat about! It had been many MOONS since Jef, Josh and Brian set eyes upon Tim Robbins' beautiful buns or the rest of this mind freak of a film. Filled to the brim with every mafia style wise guy actor as well as a ton of other very familiar faces, this underrated flick is one worth revisiting. Plus the imagery alone is worth a watch, even though it might have been burgled from some of the best artists ever. Regardless It stands as an awesome peek into the 1990's and it even has THE CULKIN!  So, what are you waiting for, Click play and let the FM3 make it a better day! 

In this episode, Jef, Josh and Brian decided to do a couple things they have not done in a while. First off they saw not one but two brand new horror films as they were released onto the big screens. Second they decided to do a single episode talking about both films just like they did in the old days when they were more stupid and Brian and Josh still had luscious heads full of hair. The FM3 starts off with "Late Night With the Devil" and then head to Rome to chat about "Immaculate"and finish it all off with some more talk about "Late Night With the Devil". It is a chonky ass episode but the Forever Midnight crew would deliver nothing less for thy Lord requires it. So sit back and please go watch these two new movies beforehand because the crew spoils the holy shit out of them!

In this Episode the FM3 check out a handpicked horror movie by one of their Top Dawg Patrons! This time around the flick is the 2019 zombie romp "Blood Quantum" by the late Jeff Barnaby.  Yep, Jef, Josh and Brian watched yet another zombie movie, and although the guys are a little tired of them and there are some tropes that any and all zombie films fall into, the crew were excited to check out the zombie apocalypse thru the lense of indigenous folks and how things might be on a reservation in Canada when the living dead start rising. If you want to pick a movie for us to do an episode on head over to Patreon.com/forevermidnight.

The FM3 have all been super busy, so no new movie episode this week, but they were able to get together and talk and ramble for an episode this week. The crew touch on everything from their new Widdle Goober franchise, vegan food, Bass guitar roots for Jef and Josh and of course their ramblin' journey ends in jolly old England with some doodoo and a friendly cab driver.  So Sit back and enjoy Midnight Ramblers 3! Jef, Josh and Brian will return next week with a new Top Dawg Patreon pick episode talking about Blood Quantum (2019)!!

In this episode Josh and Brian's favorite 90's horror kid turns into a 90's horror man on the eve of his Birthday! That's right Forever Midnight's very own Jef overn turned 40 and In what is becoming tradition,The guys had the birthday boy choose a flick for the crew to watch and talk about. Jef without hesitation chose the 1994 scary hairy wolfman movie "Wolf" starring Jack Nicholson as the titular WOOF!! The FM3 never realized how much they would enjoy seeing old Jackie boy with a couple fists full of short and curlies! This newer more modern take on the Wolfman story also stars Michelle Pfiefer and James Spader both literally chewing up their scenes, making this 90's movie monster installment one worth checking out. If only to see a wild ass revenge story featuring a wolfman with a receding hairline! ahhhwooooo!!!  

In this episode the FM3 takes a trip back to 1974 to check out a little film called "Sugar Hill".  This voodoo zombie revenge flick stands alone in a sea full of blaxploitation and horror pictures. Although it's budget was modest and its modest actors were budget, this is one of those movies that even if you don't like it overall, it has a charm that sticks in you, like a needle poked into the head of a magical doll. You can't forget what you have seen, you won't forget what you have seen. There may not be actual sugar or candy at the top of this hill but there is a sweet ass supernatural showdown with Baron Samedi and his ping pong ball eyed minions coming for you!

In this episode Josh figured he would pick the crew another well known banger to watch and chat about it. He was not wrong, Puppet Master (1989) is definitely a known movie. Now listen as the guys debate about its “BANGER” status and whether or not the Forever Midnight Horror Podcast will continue on with Toulon! 

After years and years of not doing an episode on this legendary production nightmare, Jef finally picks "The Island Of Dr. Moreau"(1996)! In this episode The FM3 dive under the soft linens of Brando's jungle diaper to reveal and converse about the many shady shenanigans that happened during the making of this furry film and the fact that even thru all of the hyena and pig shit two thirds of Forever Midnight still love this movie. Listeners, be sure to don your full body sunblock and fill your ice bucket helmets to the tippy top - you're gonna need all the help you can get for this lumpy bumpy down under dumpy.

In this episode Brian finally picks a beloved hairy horror classic for all you fine listeners!  That's right the FM3 are talking about the 1981 werewolf bonanza “The Howling”! While this film came out the same year as probably the most iconic werewolf flick it is quite a different “beast” to say the least. Sure it’s also filled with crazy transformation vibes but it is also filled with sorta indie-cheap, sleazy weird vibes too! Jef, Josh and Brian have a blast talking about this one, so sit back - don your merkins and enjoy the soothing howls of the Forever Midnight Podcast!

In this episode the FM3 headed towards the more populated waters of horror and ended up in the poltergeist pit of Dario Argento’s 1985 film “Phenomena” AKA “Creepers”.  To their pleasant surprise there was a monkey acting a fool in this Argento Classic and they aren't talking about Donald Pleasence! This flick is filled with all kinds of wild stuff: insects, motorhead, freaky kids, decapitations, and trippy ass sleep walking dreamscapes - all to confuse and entice Jef, Josh and Brian into enjoying their time with it. Plus it has a monkey in it!!
