Happy Halloween everyone! So over here at MRML we're watching a little John Carpenter today, but we thought we'd stay away from the obvious stuff like The Thing and Halloween and see if we can talk you into one of the many other awesome flicks in his catalogue. Crystal wants you to take a look back at 1998's VAMPIRES, while Trevor from Terror in Toronto suggests revisiting 1980's THE FOG. Who is your vote with? Let us know @MRMLpodcast on twitter!

Some of our MRML panelists are enjoying some Alfred Hitchcock suspense to get ready for Halloween and they're going to try to talk you into doing the same. Danny has selected 1948's "ROPE", while Devon has selected 1963's The Birds... it's also worth noting that the two have made their picks for very different reasons. Let us know who's advise you took by tweet or DM @mrmlpodcast on twitter!

Nic and Brandon take a look at horror's newest box-office darling, "IT". If we've learned anything from the IT(2017), it's that clowns are super creepy, kids swearing is always hilarious, and cocaine is a hell of a drug. There are differences between the book and the movie; are they improvements, or simply creative choices by the team behind the film? Do we care? Can the Muschietti siblings continue their cinematic winning streak into the sequel, "IT: Chapter Two"? Who knows... we sure as hell d...

Alright, so Paula and Brandon went to see BABY DRIVER on opening weekend. They recorded an episode discussing it. Devon jumped in for a segment. It was a lot of fun. Then they all forgot about recording that episode... THIS... IS... THAT... EPISODE!

To celebrate the approaching birth date of Paula & Brandon's daughter, we decided to put on a rock concert and talk to a live audience about Mary Harron's cult classic AMERICAN PSYCHO (2000) starring Christian Bale. With 10 panelists, 2 rock bands and one bloody movie discussed, this may be our most ambitious podcast to date. What do you get when Danny disappears just before the show starts for 2 segments only to return in the third segment and have the GREATEST MOVE IDEA EVER? When Nic does...

Nic, Abdullah and Brandon discuss the latest incarnation of everyone's favorite web-slinger, SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING. While the box office numbers are healthy for the official introduction of Spider-Man into the MCU, it only takes a quick glance at any social media site to see that fans are not all in agreement over the film... So let's talk about it! Also, Brandon's upset about the "Easter egg" hunter in his screening, Abdullah gets greedy with his imaginary podcast earning, Nic petitions for Sh...

Okay.. So for the sake of transparency, we actually forgot that we recorded this episode. Brent had some strong opinions of this movie, Paula was confused, and Brandon was void of any emotions. All that being said, it was a surprisingly fun talk to have about a movie we didn't really have a lot of fun with. If you feel like talking about Alien: Covenant, you know how to reach us... but we'd much prefer to talk about ANY of the other Alien flicks.

Paula takes over the show and talks to Abdullah and Brandon about Patty Jenkins' WONDER WOMAN starring GAL GADOT as Diana, Princess of Themyscira. It's been a long time coming to see this member of DC COMICS' "holy trinity" on the big screen, let's talk about it!

It's Brandon's birthday, so let's dust off the VHS collection and get into 1986's Highlander. East, Devon, and Brandon get a little carried away with this Sci-fi/Action franchise starter; Ramirez conspiracy analogies, the Kurgan's weird sexual predilections, How to deter Christopher Lambert from trying to breastfeed, and the acoustics of Sean Connery's bathroom are just a few of the topics that may or may not come up in this discussion(spoiler: they totally will come up). Also, Devon pitches his...

Is it just us or did there seem to be a lot of people with harsh things to say about GHOST IN THE SHELL leading up to it's release? But with the film now in theaters, it seems as though the negative chatter has quieted and is being overtaken by a positivity around this visually-ambitious live-action adaptation of the classic manga and anime film/TV franchise. So is the film any good? Devon, Abdullah and Brandon get into the film in detail (so, SPOILER WARNING) and through the course of their dis...

What film should a newcomer to the COEN BROTHERS filmography watch first? Should they get to know Joel and Ethan by exploring their early works like BLOOD SIMPLE and THE HUDSUCKER PROXY?

Or maybe they should try their hand at some of their critically acclaimed novel adaptations like NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN and TRUE GRIT?

Devon oversleeps so Crystal and Brandon go full-speed ahead, hopped up on coffee and Crystal's homemade banana bread, as they rant and rave about the 1981 & 2009's entries in the MY BLOODY VALENTINE Franchise. The original is a classic in the eyes of most Slasher fans, but how does it stack up for our panelists in comparison to other slasher films of the era? And while the 3D remake touts a super fun, date-friendly movie-going experience in its trailers, does it hold up nearly a decade after...

Brandon takes a look back at the 1994 cult classic THE CROW as well as James O'Barr's comic. Released in May of 1994, THE CROW opened at Number 1 at the US box office and its soundtrack topped the American music charts.
