The Midnight Cinema Screening Unkn  Welcome to The Midnight Cinema Screening.This is basically the place where we hang out after midnight and talk about movies and TV shows that stuck with us… the good, the bad, the weird, and the ones that probably shouldn’t exist but somehow do. I also talk about true crime. If you love horror, cult classics, creepy shows, and the occasional random deep dive into something strange, you’re in the right place. Nothing here is super scripted or overly serious. It’s more like sitting around with friends after a late-night movie, breaking down what worked, what didn’t, and the moments that made you pause the screen and go, “Wait… what just happened?”Some episodes we’ll be reviewing movies.Some we’ll be talking about TV episodes.And sometimes we’ll just go down a rabbit hole about the weird history behind something we watched.So if you like late-night movie talk, dark stories, and conversations that feel a little unfiltered Explicit Rushing the Field Mark Hammond Rushing the Field is the college football podcast where chaos reigns supreme! Join ’Evil’ Mark Hammond, an unapologetic SEC shill and West Coast football aficionado, and Eric Stephens, a die-hard Notre Dame fan (yes, we know), as they tackle the wildest, wackiest, and most ridiculous stories from the world of college football. Each week, they break down the big games, roast the latest disasters, and somehow still manage to squeeze in actual analysis.But that’s not all! Tune in for What’s Wrigley Watching, the only cat-based podcast trivia game that matters, and stick around for the grand finale of the season—The Shibbies, an award show you didn’t know you needed, but now can’t live without.If you love college football, pop culture references, and the occasional unhinged rant, this is the podcast for you.
