Join us as we invite our old friend Brad to help us investigate Denis Villeneuve's labyrinthine thriller Prisoners, a Thanksgiving flick that gets us wondering, where was Hugh Jackman's character on January 6th? Other points of discussion are Thanksgiving films, the star studded cast, favorite actors that perpetually get beat the hell up, our oddest pets, and of course that ENDING. 

Hello From Obscurity Wesley Erickson, Peter Clark, Lily Lenarz Hooyman, and Sam Pavich In our opinion, movies can be found in one of two realms. The realm of The Renown: Those active in the minds of pop culture, your masterpieces, your witty comedies, your impactful horror.There are even those so bad they’re good: cult classics.This is not a show about those movies.Instead we bravely venture into the realm of The Forgotten. We plummet the depths of cinema, searching amidst the left behind, the 7th at the box office and bottom of the bargain bin. We seek out neglected films to find the ones worth salvaging from oblivion and banish the unworthy back to the abyss. What hidden gems will we find on our exploration? What mediocre plotlines will we unearth? And what artifacts, that may at first have been overlooked, will we reclaim? Explicit Specter Cinema Club DeVaughn Taylor The ghosts of your horror movie club explore a different sub-genre each month! Featuring creators from the spooky community, stoner filmmaker DeVaughn Taylor & film journalist Garrett McDowell discuss the recurring motifs of various sub-genres and what makes the best genre films work. New episodes every Tuesday!NOTE: We recommend starting at Season 2 (Ep60) as that's when Garrett joined and began our current format. Season 1 was the experimental phase and before DeVaughn got better at editing hahaNOTE: The first 99 episodes, we were under the "Bloody Blunts" name. Season 3 is where we continue on as "Specter Cinema", though the show itself does not change. Explicit Second Story Work The Novel Josh Cybulski Josh Cybulski’s debut novel explores a generation who were told they could do anything. Some did, and without a doubt still are, and some became disillusioned at the first signs of adversity. Meet Sarge, Messy, Hecky and R-Luv, four media school grads who head towards the booming film industry in Vancouver. Art is a distant memory as they pursue North Hollywood lights and their spoils of sex, drugs, and, let’s face it, more drugs. But, good luck turns bad in Second Story Work as these young men scramble to sustain whetted appetites that they could never satisfy. Cybulski’s gritty tale is one of crime, betrayal, and moral apathy, where the difference between friend and foe is blurred line after line. Explicit Bad At Movies Renee Barry Renee is Bad at Movies. So bad that it’s embarrassing to admit. With a little guidance from her friends, every episode Renee sits down to watch a “classic” movie she has never seen before. Tune in to the comical post-film chat between a first-time viewer and a long-time fan. Explicit
