2 Mediocre White Dudes On A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989)

FORMERLY 2 Mediocre White Dudes on Film, we are NOW 2 Middle Aged Geeks on Film!  Nothing else has changed. The same passion.  The same fire.  The same (mostly) positivity.  The same banter. The same tangents....In fact today we have a doozy of one - as a bonus to today's film, PJ and I take a deep dive into the first episode of Freddy's Nightmares!Our main topic though is Dylan's New Nightmare: https://youtu.be/51JPiePa5dcThis is a fan film by Cecil Laird with help from Womp Stomp Studios (https://www.youtube.com/@UCgxi13lkkleF0xaO684BklQ ) who had put out Never Hike Alone and its sequel which we covered previously!This film is a direct sequel to Wes Craven's New Nightmare and while it is a short piece it is still a fascinating watch!  We hope you enjoy it!

Ooooh boy.  This is a nightmare.  But not in a good way.  We don't like trashing films...but sometimes they deserve it. We do our best to be entertaining..unlike this film.#anightmareonelmstreet #jackieearlehaley #rooneymara #freddykrueger 

PJ and I had SUCH a blast gushing over this one.  We both found so much more in this one than we even remembered on this watch...and we already liked it a lot!  This is the type of episode that makes us happy we do this podcast together!Of course there is the requisite pre-gaming of anything but Nightmare...we talk Brett Goldstein (we really want to be on Films to be Buried With), Scrubs, Shrinking, Harrison Ford and more!#anightmareonelmstreet #wescraven #wescravensnewnightmare #freddykrueger #freddykruger #freddykreuger #robertenglund #heatherlangenkamp #horrormovies #horrormovie #horror 

PJ & I love Rachel Talalay from her work on Doctor Who, Tank Girl and many other projects so we're excited to see her make her debut as a director in a series she worked on throughout! The first Final Nightmare! Tonally inconsistent with the rest of the series thus far, there is a lot to enjoy!

A film we were....surprised by!   Stephen Hopkins films takes some swings and might not always connect, but it is better than its reputation.  #anightmareonelmstreet5 #anightmareonelmstreet #freddykrueger #robertenglund 

Renny Harlin (and others....) manage to direct the hell out of a film that despite everything working against it, so many bad decisions, and a deadline ends up being entertaining!  #anightmareonelmstreet4 #nightmareonelmst  #freddykrueger  #robertenglund 

PEAK Freddy Krueger.  When you think of Nightmare on Elm Street....when you think of Freddy Krueger. THIS is the Krueger/Nightmare  you think of.  So many iconic kills, so many iconic people involved!  PJ & I were so happy to return and talk this sequel.  Top 3 horror sequels of all time!#anightmareonelmstreet3 #nightmareonelmst #freddykrueger #robertenglund #laurencefishburne #wescraven 

What an interesting film.  Sat between two of the more definitive entries to in the franchise, this one takes some wild swings for a Part II. Some work, and some don't, but it's definitely a fun one to talk about!#anightmareonelmstreeet2 #nightmareonelmst #robertenglund #freddykrueger

A soft spot for me, this is the film that brought me into the wonderful world of horror.  A truly iconic film.  PJ & I get to talk all about Robert Englund, Wes Craven, Johnny Depp, John Saxon, Lin Shaye, and Heather Langenkamp!    This is one is a labor of love for me truly!#anightmareonelmstreet #nightmareonelmst #robertenglund #johnnydepp #wescraven #linshaye #johnsaxon #freddykrueger

The conclusion (for now) of the John Wick series. PLD & PJ breakdown the fourth and possibly best movie in the series - Great action, great emotional beats, great lore building, great characters.#johnwick4review #johnwick4 #johnwick #keanureeves #chadstahelski #ianmcshane #lancereddick #laurencefishburne
