So It's Come to This: A Movie Podcast

This week, we're strumming along to 1972's "The Legend of Hillbilly John." We get charmed by this Appalachian fairy tale of sorts and talk about Hoyt Axton, Hedges Capers, and one very ugly bird. Listen now.

This week, we're bugging out over 1993's "Ticks." We watched this cult classic for the first time during a recent movie marathon, and we talk about the cool cast, especially Clint Howard, along with the movie's gross effects and more. Listen now.

This week, we're going deep on 1990's modest hit "Mermaids." We talk about Cher, Winona Ryder, Bob Hoskins, the 1960s, moms, and more Cher. Listen now.

This week, we're rooting along with 1974's "The Swinging Cheerleaders." We talk about writer-director Jack Hill's surprisingly subversive sex comedy and how much we love the cast, the jokes, and the cheers. Listen now.

This week, we're going out to the movies with "Sinners." We talk about Michael B. Jordan's dual role, the film's fresh take on a classic horror theme and, of course, the blues. Listen now.

This week, we're making friends with "Companion." We get into the early 2025 genre bending indie movie and talk about Sophie Thatcher, the movie's fun twists and more. Listen now.

This week, we're celebrating Oakland with the instant cult classic "Freaky Tales." We talk about Pedro Pascal, Ben Mendelsohn, Too $hort, Operation Ivy, Sleepy Floyd and all the things that make this movie as fresh as Oakland in 1987. Listen now.

This week, we're watching more Wings Hauser with a look at the 1991 TV movie "Bump In The Night." We get into the movie's great performances from actors playing against type, including Wings as a cardigan-wearing dad, Meredith Baxter as an alcoholic mom and Christopher Reeve as a child predator. Listen now.

This week, we remember the iconic Wings Hauser with a look at the low-budget 1988 action schlocker "Dead Man Walking." We talk about the movie's triple threat of Wings as anti-hero Luger, Brion James as psycho convict Decker and Jeffrey Combs as "Chaz" in a plague-infested wasteland that's a little too close to our present day reality. Listen now.

This week, we're setting off squibs with 1986's "F/X." We talk about this movie's perfect cast, great action, surprising twists and more reasons why we love it. Listen now.
