We Love To Watch

They want spooks? Give 'em spooks! We're kicking off our annual look at the new-to-us horror movies we plane to watch during this, our most scared time of the year. Not only is Bill Fox, horror virgin, back to dip his wick in another time, but we're joined by friend of the show, Ryan Boland, for a spooky foursome of spook watchers. Spooks? Spooks! Join us next time for a mid-month check-in! BOOOOOOOOO!!!!! (the scary kind, not the kind that indicates you don't like this content. )

Gotta get away? Not if it's with Alie Fox, no siree, Bob. We commit to just staying put when we wrap our month with 1986's The Mosquito Coast. Experience the thrill of discovering that Harrison Ford could be an asshole before you could see it anytime he was ever on a talk show. You've seen him on the new crashing planes? See him here in his younger years crashing a boat! We're joined by ludditerobot.com 's Rick Kelley, of Rick Kelley fame. and he also doesn't like Alie Fox.

This month's theme is sponsored by Sean Fowle, and he came on to guest for one of his favorite movies, WILD. You can find him on Letterboxd. https://letterboxd.com/grails28/ Reese Witherspoon starred and co-produced this movie alongside Jean-Marc Vallée, her future collaborator on Big Little Lies.

They made a movie out of a GIF!? You bet your sweet behind they did! One the exact opposite! Our Gotta Get Away Month continues with 1972's Jeremiah Johnson, a movie that made (adjusted for inflation)approximately 800 Billion dollars and is now primarily known as a GIF that makes people incorrectly horny for Zach Galifinakus.

We kick off September's theme, about getting back to nature, with a tale of that going horribly wrong - GRIZZLY MAN. Werner Herzog's sympathetic yet critical documentary traces Timothy Treadwell's life with the bears over 13 summers.

Our Blade Boys month comes to an end with a special episode on our journey through the 25 year history of the MIgnola-verse. We are covering broad arcs with spoilers, but not getting into too much details of literally thousands and thousands of pages we read over the course of the last year. Thanks for joining us on such a fun double month, and we're excited for what awaits us in September!

MIGNOLA & DEL TORO GO TO HOLLYWOOD summer takes us to dark, dark places with Neil Marshall's HELLBOY soft-reboot staring David Harbour. Next week, we end the summer on a more positive note - the Hellboy comics wrap-up

While the first Hellboy movie is great, the sequel is leaps and bounds ahead of it, and may just be the best superhero movie of 2008. We brought back Ryan Boland to chat about what makes this golden army so gosh darn special.

For our summer of Mignola & Del Toro go to Hollywood, we wanted to cover some of the animated side stories that were produced in the 2000s that sprang from the minds of Mignola or carried on the legacy of Blade as a character. We'll be covering: Hellboy: Sword of Storms Hellboy: Blood & Iron Hellboy: Iron Shoes Blade (Animated Series) The Amazing Screw-On Head (Pilot for animated TV series)

Blade Boys Month hits our first, but unfortunately, not our last, low point with 2004's Blade: Trinity. You may have heard one of the hosts say he remembers this being good, but he was wrong! Dead wrong! This movie is bad! David Goyer is bad! We're bad for thinking this might be fine!

Go straight to Hell, boy! MIGNOLA AND DEL TORO GO TO HOLLYWOOD is in full swing with the big red guy we all love. We're joined by Ryan (live in studio - thanks Moderna!) another fan of the series as we discuss Guillermo Del Toro's HELLBOY.

Blade Boys month reaches the best Blade movie of all time, Blade II. We're joined by guest and fellow Blade II superfan, Zak Santucci, who's life was changed irrevocably by seeing this movie in theaters (for good? tune in to find out!) Join us next week as we finally get to the "Boy" in "Blade Boys," as we cover 2004's Hellboy!

Our Blade Boys double month takes on the first of the boys, in 1998's Blade. Did you know that basically nothing from this movie was present in the comic book version of the character? We didn't! But we did our famous "research" and have newfound appreciation for just how wonderful and influential Stephen Norrington's movie was and is!

It's time for another super-sized summer theme, and we're doing our most ambitious effort yet with Blade Boys: Del Toro and Mignola's Super Adventures in Hollywood! We're covering the Blade and Hellboy movies through the lens of Mike Mignola and Guillermo Del Toro's creating comic movies in a Hollywood system. We're starting with an esxtended intro to their Hollywood work with a double feature: Del Toro's first American movie, Mimic, and the movie that Mignola created concept art for, Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

I think I'll go for a walk outside now, the summer sun's callin' my name, to listen to our episode on the BRADY BUNCH reboots/parodies of the 1990s. Please, we beg you, enjoy. We're joined by the tremendous BRITNEE LOMBAS of Swampflix! You can find her on the Swampflix podcast, but also, her work can be found here: https://swampflix.com/lists-articles/articles-by-britnee-lombas/ You can find us on Patreon, at: https://www.patreon.com/welovetowatch You can find the Camelot image Britnee brings up at our website, WLTWPodcast.com!

Our Summer Rerun month, and maybe our entire podcast, reaches its nadir with 1993's The Beverly Hillbillies. Only adding to our misery, our guest is Marcus Jones, who prefers to go by his stage name, dumb dumb poopy head. I would skip this one.

60s TV Reruns month takes us down to the dark, grim middle of the month with the live action Flintstones movie, a film that is all style, vile substance. Were joined by Bill, who did NOT want to be here! You can find us on Patreon as well https://www.patreon.com/welovetowatch

School's out and Summer Rerun Month is here! We're kicking off our month long look at 90's movie reboots of TV shows with a couple of winners: The Addams Family and the superior sequel, Addams Family Values. We cover the 60s TV show, its journey to the big screen, how wonderful Christina Ricci is, and, of course, tour updates of popular ska band, Second Time Around.

Pod's Not Dead is back, baby, and so is Musical May. Carrie aka the Producer is here with Rick Kelley aka Rick Kelley are here to help. We cover Norman Jewison's JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's famous and controversial musical. We discuss this, the original concept album/cast recording, and Webber's career in general. You can find Rick's work at: https://ludditerobot.com/

Bar none, the humblest episode of our Musical May 4 month, the recent comedic masterpiece, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping! We continue what has really been We Love To Watch's Lonely Island Appreciation Year by discussing the high and other highs of when Hungry the Hunter has to eat. We're joined by friend of the show and film critic, Douglas Laman. You can find all of her wonderful film writing at The Spool and landofthenerds.blopspot.com
