Bob Clark has given the world so much. He gave us “A Christmas Story” and defined the holiday movie. He gave us “Porky’s” and defined the teenage sex comedy. He gave us “Baby Geniuses” and gave us diarrhea. In “Black Christmas” he not only gave us the slasher film, but he also defined many of the tropes that would be …
It’s December! For some reason, that means we all have to watch Christmas movies. This appears to be a law, and the gang aren’t taking any chances. Join them as they take their first obligatory trip down mandated festive joy. “Fatman” is a movie that just doesn’t know what it wants to be. Comedy? Action? Tarantino-esque killfest? No clue. All …
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.”
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.”
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 …
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!
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!
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 …
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!
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 …
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 …
The Hindsight is Horrifying gang watch Val Kilmer’s big Hollywood debut (sort of) as the lead in Top Secret!
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 …
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 …
“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 …
“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 …
