Episode 40 - Halloween H20

"It's Halloween, everyone's entitled to their 275th jump scare". The deadliest coven on the internet reconvene for their Halloween special, a review of 1998's Halloween H20! (Is that description great for the old SEO or what?).

We talk inappropriate reactions to PTSD, the Michael/Mike Myers conundrum, L(adies) L(ove) Cool J(ames)'s incredible erotic literature and Tim theories whether the Haddonfield slasher is actually a reincarnated cat. Plus, Myers takes a hellacious 50 foot spill off a church balcony through a table, complete with commentary from good old Jim Ross himself. No tricks, just treats on our scarily good Halloween episode!


Plus, we're getting an early start on our end-of-year Worst Film of 2016 episode! Like last year, we're putting it to you, the VNPeeps, to decide which film we'll look at as our final episode of the year. Go here to vote for the film you want us to review: https://pollev.com/bravefu405?_ga=1.96843743.1598436545.1477938081

Episode 39 - The Lost World: Jurassic Park

Great Directors, Bad Films season 2 ends with a dino-sized bumper episode, it's Steven Spielberg's The Lost World: Jurassic Park! 

Is this so-called "decent classic" as good as you remember? Probably not, as the gang get to grips with disappearing characters, Jeff Goldblum's non-heroic starring role, the most laissez-faire reaction to a T-Rex rampage ever and how John Hammond is the real villain of the film.


Plus things get sexy with a fan-submitted story that dulled some senses and heightened others. Plenty to sink your teeth into on this en-raptor-ing episode. Don't miss out!

Episode 38 - Highball

Unhappy hour continues and all the misanthropes drink for free, it's part two of our Great Directors, Bad Films trilogy! We're looking at Tim's pick, the no-budget, shot-in-six-days shitshow, Highball, directed by Noah Baumbach.

The recipe for this instalment? It's simple - a splash of terrible characters, a dash of awful camerawork, two shots of shitty storytelling and a jigger of the most painfully unfunny screenwriting this side of North. Don't forget to give it a cyanide-salt rim if everything gets too much for you.

You don't want to miss this one! Woeful depictions of mental health, wannabe-Richard Linklater dialogue, terrible 90s gay panic jokes and one member of the show gets very angry indeed. The strongest of strong language in this one, you've been warned!
