It's yet another Friday the 13th, which means we should continue our coverage of the franchise! We're talking Jason Lives today, in which Jason comes back from the dead thanks to Frankenstein's revivification scheme and terrorizes another group of hapless teens and adults. We talk about the unseriousness of this movie and how enjoyable that actually makes it!
We're also talking Fidens Brewing Company's A Murder of Crows triple IPA in this episode.

We're celebrating Black History Month with another blaxploitation film, this time one of the most well-known black horror films - Blacula! While we contend the film is actually not the best example of blaxploitation, we discuss the unique approach to criticism, its portrayal of the Dracula vampire mythos, and ponder the slow pacing of the movie. We're also drinking Sam Adams' Blackberry Witbier, part of their new vintage spring pack.

Unfortunately, we recently lost the bright and shining Catherine O'Hara. On this episode, we reflect on her career and hone in on a movie that showcases a variety of her skills: comedy, emotion, and even musicality. We talk about A Mighty Wind, the mockumentary by Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy about a trio of folk groups reuniting after years away from each other.
We're also drinking Beer Tree Brewing Company's Lift Lager, a schwarzbier!

To celebrate Sam Raimi's return to cinemas, we hit the theater to check out Send Help, the new survival/horror film that Martin best describes as Misery meets Castaway. We talk about the hits and misses, including the intimate two-character study, the focus on survival techniques, and the twisty ending that reveals some structural issues with script. We're also drinking Genesee Brewing Company's Dry-Hopped Cream Ale, which makes its return after nearly six years!
