387. WITCHBOARD (1986)

Happy Friday the 13th! We hope you all left cookies, milk, and skin moisturizer out for Jason Voorhees! (He prefers la prairie from Switzerland. I know, I know. It’s two car payments. But isn’t your life worth it?) Continuing the Dumped in January month, we have David Cronenberg’s Scanners! With one of the most iconic special effects make-ups scenes in film history, this sci-fi thriller drove people to theaters in January 1981 to check “that scene” pulling in a cool $14.2mn for New World.

Hey. It’s 2023. Ain’t nothin’ but a number. So is 1990. It, too, is a year. On it’s 19th day, a little movie called Tremors was dropped onto the world. And like with most movies dumped in January, the world wasn’t ready. It would take six months before the majority of the planet would really find out what this kick ass movie was about when it hit VHS. 32 years and 6 sequels later, we’re here to talk about the first movie in our Dumped in January series. So, come with us as we talk about Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, Finn Carter, Michael Gross, and survivor Reba McEntire and their fight for the life with a desert full of Grabnoids. ------------------ As always, and maybe even more than ever, here are some mental health resources for North America: United States https://www.mentalhealth.gov/get-help/immediate-help https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ The Suicide Hotline phone number has been changed.

Here is the last of the “Buddy Cop” series from November. As you know, I (Corey) got COVID a few days before Thanksgiving, and it took me a bit of time to feel well enough to edit again. (Hell, I finally was well enough to record just today. It also took a long time just to not feel like I need to go to the hospital every other hour.) Today, we have Bill Duke’s instant crime classic Deep Cover from 1992 with Larry Fishburne, Jeff Goldblum, Charles Martin Smith, Victoria Dillard, and Clarence Williams III. We apologize the delayed release and we hope you enjoy the episode! ------------------ As always, and maybe even more than ever, here are some mental health resources for North America: United States https://www.mentalhealth.gov/get-help/immediate-help https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ The Suicide Hotline phone number has been changed.
