For Christmas 2018 one of us decided to make a trip to theater to see Illumination's new animated GRINCH movie. And while Mike came away pleasantly surprised at this latest version of the Grinch cinematic universe, Peter truly played the part and stayed inside like a hermit to watch the 1966 and 2000 versions of HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS. We debate the merits of telling this story in a longer form, animated vs. live action, and most importantly of all... do loyal dog companions really care if their Christmas treat says "naughty" or "nice" on it?

2018 is over but we cynically expect 2019 to get a whole hell of a lot worse. And to help us with that doomsday predicting mood we bring on the biggest cinephile cynic we know, Ben Zuk of 99 FROM 99 to take in a double feature of NIGHT OF THE DEMON and DRAG ME TO HELL. And while Sam Raimi's 2009 film was loosely inspired by this 1957 horror movie, they both provide a great playbook with how to live with a curse. For instance one might want to try killing a cat? Or better yet, just leave that to the movies, you'll feel better about yourself and we'll feel better after you click on these links below:

And here are some other movie podcasts I host: The Grand GestureMark As PlayedProjecting FilmSober CinemaWar Machine vs. War HorsePeter is back after being thrown OVERBOARD for our first episode of 2019, but he gets his revenge on co-host Mike by taunting him over his lack of a shoe rack built by The Great Kurt Russell. As it turns out in that 1987 film his co-star Goldie Hawn also does not get such magnificent shelving for shoes and instead through the movie magic of amnesia finds out that she is married to Mr. Russell (life imitates art, I guess) and is now a blue collar mother of three. This original film gave birth to another remake but on this episode we are talking about the 2018 version starring Eugenio Derbez and Anna Faris. And we were not amused. Hopefully you are with this episode though, which you can find at the links below:

This episode reveals the origin story of an unappreciated podcaster with talent who meets a well-known drunk and thus this very podcast was born. Shockingly Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper tell a very similar story in their Oscar-nominated remake of a film that is now on its fourth incarnation. We choose to compare it to the 1976 version with Barbara Streisand and Kris Kristofferson because it's all about the music. Man. Or something like that. Click these links, that's what matters:

Jairo of MARK AS PLAYED joins the show to suggest that while Ralph Fiennes is no body builder... his version of a serial killer is still "a touch on the sexy side."
This is just the beginning of disagreement as Mike defends the honor of ORIGINAL REMAKE by siding with Michael Mann's version of this Hannibal Lector adjacent story in MANHUNTER and our idiot guest sides with Brett Ratner.
Not just RED DRAGON but Brett Ratner. And that's not even mentioning the tiger penis sequence... though our guest does. Repeatedly. Enjoy!

David Giannini has unfortunately started a new podcast called OFF SCREEN DEATH.
That's bad.
But his co-host is the co-host of this show, Mike Denniston.
That's good.
However as part of the promotional tour for OFF SCREEN DEATH (that's the name of the new movie podcast that is half good and half bad) Dave is the guest on this episode for THE APARTMENT and WICKER PARK.
That's bad.
But the episode is good. We promise. We make fun of Josh Hartnett's hair, Matthew Lillard's face and feud over rights to love Rose Byrne all before Mike starts talking about large breasts in French cinema.
It's more good than bad. Enjoy!

For an episode on video game movies we have to bring on a real dork in Jared of SOBER CINEMA. As he speaks with us from the comfort of his gaming chair some important matters discussed in the world of MORTAL KOMBAT:
Also we get around to discussing the first feature film adaptation from 1995 and the new HBO Max joint. Because Liu Kang needs no defending.

...so everyone must be happy, right? WRONG says Dave of YOUR LIST, MY COMMAND.
However his co-host Derek (of the much better THE GRAND GESTURE podcast) calls ZACK SNYDER'S JUSTICE LEAGUE "better than my own child."
Which extreme opinion do you fancy? Find out by listening to an awful lot of debate over funny books on film in our episode on the two Justice Leagues.
