Crowd Pleasers

by Crowd Pleasers

THE podcast about B Movies. Forget the Oscars. Forget the blockbusters. We're here for the street food of cinema: B MOVIES. Join bestselling* novelists Johnny Shaw and Jay Stringer as they dive into the funny, inventive, and occasionally unhinged world of low-budget filmmaking. Each episode, Johnny and Jay pick one film (or several, depending on how badly they lose control of the conversation) from across the wild history of B Movies. (Your mileage may vary on what qualifies as a B Movie.) This isn't another "so bad it's good" podcast. We're here because creativity thrives under pressure, because ingenuity beats a big budget, and because sometimes the most exciting filmmaking happens when nobody's got any money. Expect passionate arguments, deep dives, wild tangents, questionable jokes, and a healthy amount of swearing. This is CROWD PLEASERS.

Episodes

  1. The Wailing (2016)

    Johnny and Jay do some real long hard thinking about the 2016 K-horror film The Wailing. They discuss an uncaring universe, Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds, and begin a literary feud with Jonathan Lethem. Also, The Wailing. Say cheese.

  2. Coming Soon...

    The Next Four films we'll be covering (It's actually SEVEN because we tell lies) plus a taste of things to come.

  3. Episode Zero

    EPISODE ZERO. A quick primer on who we are, what we're about, and what the hell this whole dumb idea is meant to achieve. Send help.
