  • Politics in Entertainment, Celebrity Endorsements, and Venom's Last Dance

    Politics in Entertainment, Celebrity Endorsements, and Venom's Last Dance
    Oct 30 2024

    On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, as we approach yet another of the most consequential elections of our lifetime, it's time to discuss how politics have influenced entertainment. Are politics essentially just entertainment itself at this point? Are billionaires like Elon Musk influencing media? Do celebrity endorsements move the needle? Can we ever get politics back out of our movies and TV?

  • Halloween 2024: Scariest Movie Ever, Women in Horror, Interview with Blair Witch Project Director Eduardo Sánchez, Obscure Halloween Movies

    Halloween 2024: Scariest Movie Ever, Women in Horror, Interview with Blair Witch Project Director Eduardo Sánchez, Obscure Halloween Movies
    Oct 23 2024
    On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, it’s Halloween, and as we have done in the past for Halloween and Christmas, we like to put out a bit of a compilation of favorite topics or interviews from years past that celebrate these specific holidays. And this one has a very special anniversary episode, actually TWO of them. First up: we return to one of our favorite segments as we decide, once-and-for-all, what the is the BEST! Could it be The Exorcist, or possibly Poltergeist? Could A Nightmare on Elm Street out-slash The Blair Witch Project? Is Paranormal Activity more ghastly (and ghostly) than The Ring? Do exploding stomachs out-scare the horrific haunting that takes place in The Conjuring? Find out the winner with our Scariest Movie Battle Royale! Then, it is time to prep for All Hallows’ Eve as we take to our own respective graveyards and dig up obscure Halloween movies. Trick r Treat has taken off in recent years, and there are many little unspoken gems like this one to get us all hyped up for the best movie season of the year for horror fans! Take a listen, and rest assured to walk away with at least a few new Halloween gems to watch this season of the witch. Next, it is the 25th anniversary of The Blair Witch Project this year. If you find a list of the greatest horror films, you’ll find this now classic on that list. $250 million made worldwide, popularizing an entire genre and inspiring countless filmmakers across the globe, and even earned a Guinness world record for top budget to box office ratio – Blair Witch has earned the title of classic. And for the film’s 25th anniversary, we wanted to sit down and discuss the film and its legacy with one of the filmmakers directly responsible for it, Eduardo Sánchez. Finally, it is the 10th anniversary of our special podcast episode on Women In Horror. Justin Macumber and Aaron Peterson are joined by guests (at the time) Amanda and Eliyanna to discuss how women in films, specifically horror films, have evolved throughout the years. From the early days of the black and white classics, such as Psycho, to the ‘Final Girl’ and revenge fantasy films of the 70’s, all the way to modern times with Scream, Buffy, and others: The entire history of women in horror films is open for debate. This is a detailed, lively, and entertaining discussion you do NOT want to miss!

  • Crazy Cinematic Visions

    Crazy Cinematic Visions
    Oct 16 2024

    On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, with Megalopolis – helmed by Apocalypse Now and The Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola and Joker: Folie à Deux directed by Joker and Hangover director Todd Phillips both hitting theaters in back-to-back weeks and both flopping spectacularly, and then Terrifier 3 shows up and somehow delivers a #1 movie in the country that is relentlessly gory and completely unrated, from a director's uncompromising vision. So we thought it as an apropos time to discuss crazy cinematic visions: meaning storytellers attempting to do something unique and different, and either wildly succeeding or failing spectacularly. Films such as Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Terminator 2, Psycho, Battlefield Earth, Look Who's Talking, Avatar, The Room, Howard the Duck, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Barbie, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and many others!

    Also this week, Rob Rowald joins us for the topic - check out his podcast and YouTube series Rob (from the Internet) Talks About Beer - as well as recommendations and discussions such as Hellboy: The Crooked Man, The Substance, Laroy, Texas, and Things Will Be Different.
