Halloween is here! And that means, you're getting a bonus episode of Forgotten Horror 8. We're diving into the mockumentary world of Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. This is an interesting one, as Butler is going into this rewatch doubting his original take on the movie. Field, on the other hand, has been down on the movie from subsequent other rewatches. Will this one send him further down the negative road? Or will he come around and find the positive? Only one way to find out. Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon Written by Scott Glosserman & David J. Stieve Directed by Scott Glosserman Starring Nathan Baesel, Angela Goethals, Robert Englund, Scott Wilson, Zelda Rubinstein And yes, you guessed it, we've got a halloween drink for you, but it's not quite ready yet!

Oh man, the cat died. Or did he?! That's right, we're playing with the dead this week as we check out this neon-green juice that can stimulate dead tissue. It's H.P. Lovecraft's Re-Animator! Jeffrey Combs, in the arguably the role his best known for, plays Herbert West, an upstart graduate student and scientist who's looking to cheat death with his fancy syringe filled with the inside of a glow stick. (We are partial to Combs in The Frighteners) We also talk about the lead character, Dan (Bruce Abbott), who doesn't really do leading man things, the weird, creepy sexual obsession from Dr. Carl Hill (David Gale), which had some negative effects in his personal life, and much more! Check out the episode! Re-Animator Based on the story "Hebert West, Re-Animator" by H.P. Lovecraft Screenplay by Dennis Paoli & William Norris & Stuart Gordon Directed by Stuart Gordon Starring Jeffrey Combs, Bruce Abbott, Barbara Crampton, David Gale, Robert Sampson And, don't forget, we've got a special drink you can make while you watch!

Cue Kim Carnes because nothing rocks quite like Bette Davis Eyes when it comes on at the end of The Final Girls, the 2015 horror film that you maybe forgot about? And that's our job. To remember the movies you forgot about. That's what we do. (You get the Jerry Maguire reference here, right?) Forgotten Horror 8 continues with this Time-Loop movie with also a little dash of Last Action Hero mixed in there, to give you a fun, send up of 80s slasher films. Field likes this movie more than Butler, so you must decide who's analysis is correct! Check out our latest episode now!

What did we just watch? Why it's Ken Russell's The Lair of the White Worm! The Bram Stoker story loosely adapted by Ken Russell into a tale of the D'Ampton Worm, which is actually a giant snake that was supposedly killed many years ago. But wait! It wasn't. And it's up to the 12th doctor and an Oompa Loompa to save day! That's right, a young Peter Capaldi and Hugh Grant defend our realm against this totally realistic looking white snake worm. But the star of the movie is Amanda Donohoe as Lady Sylvia Marsh, our evil doer who camps it up with every scene and clearly understood the assignment.

Diane Keaton is J.C Wiatt, a yuppie, executive who's kickin' ass and takin' names! And she is on the fast track to partner! Nothing is going to get in her way. Not even the baby of distant relative who passes away and bequeaths their child to her. Wait, what? This is Baby Boom! And since this movie is from the 1980s, of course, the 80s patriarchy has a major problem with that. Her yuppie boyfriend (Harold Ramis) splits, her boss replaces J.C. on a big account with her junior, and she's forced into the puppy chow account, an account that she will of course refuse and quit. What the hell, guys?! Grow a pair and support J.C.! Find out what else we had to say about how awesome Diane Keaton was as an actress, the surprising dated references that don't quite make the grade in 2026, and much more!

Nurse Betty marks our third movie in the Forgotten Cinema lexicon of movies where the plot involves daytime, soap opera television. We've covered Delirious, starring John Candy as a soap opera writer controlling the worlds he lives in with his typewriter. We've discussed the hilarious 90s movie, Soapdish, about the inner workings of a soap starring Sally Field, Kevin Kline, Elizabeth Shue, Robert Downey Jr. and so many more! And the one constant with all these movies is that we dig them! This go around we've got Betty (Zellweger) having a psychological break after witnessing her husband's demise, running off to Hollywood to find her husband, only he doesn't exist in the real world. He's a character on her favorite soap. Enough of the written word. Watch us in action! Nurse Betty Directed by Neil LaBute Story by John C. Richards Screenplay by John C. Richards & James Flamberg Starring Morgan Freeman, Renee Zellweger, Chris Rock, Greg Kinnear, Aaron Eckhart, Crispin Glover, Tia Texada, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Allison Janney If you prefer to listen to podcasts, well, you're in luck!

We are lacing up our boots and hitting the pitch (Thank you, Ted Lasso) as we head on over to 1981 for the soccer-drama-escape-movie Victory. And no, we will not be calling this movie, Escape to Victory. Much like ret-conning Raiders of the Lost Ark to Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark...we will never call it that. Ever. Ever. Never. Ever. This is Victory. (Yes...Field is only thinking about Johnny Drama right now) The story of a great escape, but done during a sort-of-true-to-life story during WWII, about a group of POW soccer players who take on the very best that Germany has to offer in a winner-take-all match. There's drama! There's sports! There's Stallone! Yes, Sylvester Stallone is basically our main character here who is part (very small) Steve McQueen and part Rocky, we think. Stallone was writing Rocky III while shooting this movie. How's that for a fun fact? And Michael Caine is in this! And yes, he's playing soccer, if you really believe that's him on the pitch during those scenes. We don't. Find out what else we thought bout this film...below! Victory Directed by John Huston (Right?!) Story by Jeff Maguire & Djordje Milicevic and Yabo Yablonsky Screenplay by Evan Jones and Yabo Yablonsky Starring Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine, Pelé, Max von Sydow If you prefer to listen to podcasts, well, you're in luck!

Save us, Sky Captain! Save us from the world of tomorrow! Actually..wait, no, not from the world of tomorrow, but we're in the world of tomorrow, right? What is the world of tomorrow! We answer that question (I think) and more in our latest episode of Forgotten Cinema. Of course, we talk about the massive amount of special effects that went into the making of this film. Were any sets real? We don't think so. There's a lot to like in this movie, and there's much to discuss, which is what we do, because that's what the show (and everything we do) is all about.
