We Love To Watch

After the antics of that techno darin' Aaron, Pete decided to shake up some spookery in some pre-Spooktober fun with CHANNEL ZERO, season one. You can find us on Patreon if you care to support us.

It's another episode of the We Love to Watch side-cast, Don't You Dare! On this episode, Aaron makes Pete listen to a bunch of the 90s techno music he listened to in junior high and high school. It's a trip down memory lane as we gyrate, rave, and pump our fists to Lords of Acid, The Prodigy, the Chemical Brothers, and all your techno big beat favorites.

This week, Bill joins us to talk Nicholas Meyer's Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Kirk's on trial for breaking space law, and the rest of the crew have to clear his name. You can find us on Spotify, iTunes, and now, Patreon!

Pete dares Aaron to listen to an album near & dear to him, Damien Jurado and Richard Swift's covers album "Other People's Songs."

Start Trek is back! We're joined by guest Zach Grooten as we cover the least liked movie with the original cast. We're also covering the TOS episode "The Squire of Gothos," so join us to learn what being a god means to Kirk and the Enterprise crew.

SUMMER of SCREAMMAKES comes to an end with the end of man. Philip Kaufman’s remake of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS brought the fear of alienation in your own society to the modern day, and it feels as vibrant as ever. We’re joined by Morgan Runice. ever lovable scamp.

This week, our Summer of Screamakes is covering a remake of a movie we've previously covered, with the guest who covered it with us! We're doing our first Herzog movie with 1979's Nosferatu the Vampyre, and we're joined by Rick Kelley. You can find Rick's writing at ludditerobot.com

For SCREAMMAKES MONTH we are joined by Salim Garami! You can check him out at: https://moviemotorbreath.wordpress.com/

Screammakes enters our second month, with the 1988 remake of The Blob and Moran brothers sandwich. We're joined by Peter's brother, Charlie, to learn about high school ska music, and how much goo one human penis contains.

SUMMER OF SCREAMAKE continues to haunt us with Gore Verbinski's hugely influential remake of Ringu, THE RING. If you like what we do here and want to help us keep the lights on, please hit us up on Patreon!

It's Week 3 of Screamakes, and we're wrapping up our mini-Romero remake trilogy with 2010's The Crazies. This is a pretty solid remake that too many people slept on when it was released, but also feels "ripped" out of today's headlines with a town dealing with a sudden viral outbreak that makes people act a little funky. We're joined by returning guest Lydia Lomeli, as we decide how hot Timothy Olyphant is (answer: only getting hotter!). You can hear more Lydia as an audiobook narrator: www.chirpbooks.com/audiobooks/jeff-davis-8-by-fergus-mason

Bill is back (again?) to talk about the action-horror romp, and maybe the only uncontroversially popular Zach Snyder film. You can find us on Patreon! Money please!

For July and August, we're doing a double month of ScreaMakes, and kicking it off with a trilogy of Romero remakes, starting with 1990s' Night of the Living Dead. Join Peter, guest-host Marcus Jones, and guest Ethan Warren, as they dig into whether this deserves a spot in the zombie canon. You can find Ethan's wonderful writing at Bright Wall, Dark Room: https://www.brightwalldarkroom.com/author/ethanwarren/ and you can find Marcus if you've been cursed by a demon to live out your worst nightmares!

SIEGE MONTH ends with VFW by Joe Begos! We're joined by the lovely Soheil Rezayazdi. Since we recorded this episode, some news has come out about the line producer and Fred Williamson that is worth thinking about. Here is an article laying out some of the issues involved that we didn't get a chance to get into - because it wasn't public knowledge at the time of recording. https://news.avclub.com/fangoria-birth-movies-death-sever-ties-following-damni-1843986514?fbclid=IwAR1sUSnIZfrIG_L5EXkQXJqFi0RpdI99AJbVEqD6WkxGBfHpCvF8pZZ_TgA

The only thing worse than being under siege, is being under siege by Jean Luc Picard (who's a Nazi now). It's Week 3 of Siege month, and we're covering Green Room with brother-in-law of the show, Bill!

John Carpenter's first of a handful of masterpieces, ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13, had an outsized effect on a generation of filmmakers, and helped inspire this month. We also cover Jean-Francois Richet's remake from 2005 starring Ethan Hawke. We're joined by Ryan! He's back, babay!

It's June, and that means we're kicking off Siege Month* (*not featuring Under Siege, Under Siege 2: Dark Territory, or The Siege). We'e starting with Rio Bravo, a movie so good John Carpenter cites it as a influence on Assault on Precinct 13 , which makes no sense, because these movies are nothing alike. But we forgive John, because he made a good movie, and this is a good move, and everyone is happy.

Andrew Lloyd Weber. Neither the best Andrew (Kaufman), nor the best Lloyd (Christopher), nor the best Weber (grill), yet is still allowed to make music. Truly a bountiful world we have here, don't we? This week, as a special MUSICAL MAY special episode, we decided to do Cats, maybe 6 months too late. But when is too late to be traumatized? Tune in. Find us on Patreon. Save the world.

We're wrapping up Fancy High School Month with the strongest entry of the mini-genre, 1999's 10 Things I Hate About You! We're joined by returning guest, Liam Haber, as we all recall falling in love with this movie for the first time, and then all over again.

FANCY HIGH SCHOOL enrolls for another week of classes (?) with Easy A, the adaptation of Scarlett Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne starring Emma Stone.
