Ah, the public domain. Movies that live in the lawless land without copyright are perfect movies for riffing. In that spirit(!), the gang sit down and watch the 1962 Herk Harvey psychological horror film, “Carnival of Souls.”
Iron Man and Spiderman in bed together? How shocking! It’s “Wonder Boys” on Hindsight is Horrifying
It was Darth’s turn to pick a movie this week, and she actually didn’t use that power to inflict misery on Adam and Jason. Instead, the gang got to watch something of a hidden gem. It’s the 2000 drama/comedy about a slice of waspy life, “Wonder Boys.”
Phantom of the Opera? No. It’s “Phantom of the Paradise” on Hindsight is Horrifying
Today we end our malformed Halloween season with a look at Brian De Palma’s trippy musical extravaganza, “Phantom of the Paradise.” Before Andrew Lloyd Weber gave the world his lesser-known version of Leroux’s famous novel, the bell-bottomed population of the 1970s was subjected to this prog/folk acid trip. The plot concerns a weird and disturbing composer who is maimed and …
Billy Zane’s best role! Also his shortest. It’s Critters on Hindsight is Horrifying!
Critters is a movie that once terrified young Jason to the core of his cynical little soul. Now he returns with Adam and Jade to find out if it has that scary staying power. Join the gang as they watch the 1986 horror (comedy?) Critters on Hindsight is Horrifying!
Dead by Dawn!!! It’s Evil Dead II on Hindsight is Horrifying!
Young Adam is back! And mysteriously, Adam B. is missing… But let’s not get bogged down in ‘who killed who for a guest spot on a YouTube show.’ Instead, let’s watch the sequel to Sam Raimi’s debut film (and the best horror sequel ever), Evil Dead II. Dead by Dawn!
Prince Humperdinck battled Chucky? It’s Child’s Play (1988)
Yes, Prince Humperdinck battled Chucky, but at least he didn’t have a date with a 6-year-old boy… It’s officially Halloween, the spookiest and most magical season of them all. And what better way to celebrate the unholiest of high holidays but with the movies that scared us witless when we were younger? That’s right, #Hindsighters, Jason has raised a new …
It’s a Star Wars Battle! The gang talk about Episode II: Attack of the Clones
Viewers will recall that Jason has a complicated relationship with the Star Wars universe. Unfortunately for him, all that and more await him as the gang watch Episode II – Attack of the Clones. Many thanks to our special guest Jacob Andrews for joining us and suggesting this quite divisive movie!
Jeff Goldblum and Cyndi Lauper in the same movie? Yep, it’s Vibes (1988).
Vibes is one of those forgotten 80s movie gems that deserves a second look. Not a third look though. Two will do. After all, we’re talking about the first (and only) cinematic pairing of the great Jeff Goldblum and the irritating Cyndi Lauper. As psychics. Heck, it even earned a star from Roger Ebert. And that’s exactly one star more …
Killing Aliens with Windex! It’s Alien Conquest (2021) on Hindsight is Horrifying
Jason has a list. It’s a list of very, very bad movies. Movies that are as bad as they are…free to watch. Alien Conquest tells the touching story of Tom Sizemore’s battle with addiction and recovery, set against the backdrop of the most implausible alien invasion since “Hobgoblins.” Enjoy this incompetent ripoff of “War of the Worlds” on Hindsight is …
Top Secret! (1984)
The Hindsight is Horrifying gang watch Val Kilmer’s big Hollywood debut (sort of) as the lead in Top Secret!
The Big Hit (1998)
The Big Hit: “Let’s go, baby! Let’s work!” Did you ever consider the hitman’s feelings when he kidnaps you? You will when you watch this trashtastic piece of cinema starring Lou Diamond Phillips, Marky Mark, and Mark Wahlberg! For real, #Hindsighters, what innocent catholic schoolgirl doesn’t dream about falling victim to kidnaping and inevitable Stockholm Syndrome when they’re taken hostage …
Network (1976)
This week’s episode is dedicated to Jason’s old friend. Dr. Rodney “Jason” Hatfield passed away suddenly on 14 July. He was a great human being and an outstanding family man. He will be missed. Hindsighters, please consider donating to the Rodney “Jason” Hatfield memorial scholarship which will benefit Dr. Hatfield’s children. You can donate here. What to say about this …
The Mummy Returns (2001)
“It’s a bird, a stork!”: No! It’s The Mummy Returns, where Egyptian history is made up, and the reincarnation points don’t matter. #Hindsighters, your beloved Darth Jader is not embarrassed to admit that, as a child, she thought scarab beetles would be a much larger problem in her adult life than even quicksand, all due to what cartoons and mummy …
Shark Night (2011)
“Ted, we don’t have time for a tourniquet!” – Darth Jader In case it isn’t obvious, the huge selling point of Shark Night is that Ted from Schitt’s Creek is in it. Beloved #Hindsighters, your fearless gang is back from their spine-tingling adventure with sharks at the Georgia Aquarium. In honor of Darth, Jason, and Adam’s first underwater adventure together …
Ed Wood (1994)
Ed Wood was more than a man…so much more. By that, we mean he was a director. No, a filmmaker. A filmmaker who fought against the Hollywood machine to make crappy movies that have entertained generations of insomniacs (and MST3K fans). And to think he did it in drag. Join Jason, Darth, and Adam B. as they watch the 1994 …
Tarzan in Manhattan (1989)
Tonight, on a very special episode of Hindsight is Horrifying, host Adam B. picks a movie in tribute of the late actor Joe Lara. Fans will remember that Adam and Joe worked together on the action movie, “Strike Zone,” which we previously reviewed. Unfortunately, given Joe’s repertoire, pickings were slim so we ended up with “Tarzan in Manhattan.” It’s a …
