Hypecast - 09.25.2020 - Featuring Abe Epperson

In episode one of our brand new miniseries, hosts Tom and Dave watch the first Prophecy film and are immediately confused by the biology of angels.

Special thanks to producer Bobgrenville!

THE PROPHECast - Ep 01 - The Prophecy

The casting of Ace Ventura was essential in building the insane rules and tone of the world, and while Jim Carrey is why the film worked, folks may overlook how the casting of everyone else was equally important. Adam elucidates how this was accomplished and what roles were key in the development of a narrative where the audience wouldn’t think about the fact that the main character is an absolute maniac. “Do go in here (the episode).” That’s the quote, right? We all remember that famous quote from Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.

323. Directorpiece Theatre: How Ace Ventura Was Built By Supporting Roles

Hosts Evil Tom and Evil Dave discuss why the lesser-known Back To The Future series is an attack on God's design.

Special thanks to Patreon producer Mad Mo Balla for opening this exciting new dimensional portal!

Evil Twinema - EP02 - Back To The Future Hates God

Hosts Tom and Dave seem to hone in the premise by battling famous horror movie heroes against pod people while somehow in the plot to Speed 2. It's weird.

Big thanks to producer James Raney for making it happen!

DRAFT ACTION HERO - EP03: The Thing 2: Cruise Control

Our heroes are joined by Jason "David Wong" Pargin (John Dies at the End & the Zoey Ashe series) to discuss a film that scares him the most, and what it says about violence in cinema.

We Just Watched... Funny Games (With Jason "David Wong" Pargin)

Abe walks us through the early 2000's and the development of that era’s neo-noir look, how technology facilitated its dominance over the box office, and why Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was both an adopter and a trailblazer in this visual movement. Also, Jim Broadbent was a chair in this movie. Name another movie that’s true. Thought so.

The book that Abe references in the episode is “The Development of Post-war Literary and Cinematic Noir” by Lee Horsley.

327. Directorpiece Theatre: Why Harry Potter’s Later Films Feel Like Fincher Movies

Topics Include: Monster Hunter, I’m Your Woman, Hillbilly Elegy, The Watch, Come Away, Jiu Jitsu, and several killer podcast ideas.

Hypecast - 10.16.2020 - Featuring Sarah Griffith

The Shining tale continues with writer/director/editor Mike Flanagan’s Doctor Sleep. We didn’t know all along it’s Stephen King’s X-Men! Seriously, Danny and Abra running around solving ghost crimes and killing psychic vampires would be amazing. Michael and Abe breathe deep of the delicious movie steam and discuss what makes this film a success, how it differs from Kubrick’s The Shining, and the lore behind the saga.
