    Final Destination (2000) The Fear of Fate – A Tribute to Tony Todd
    May 13 2025
    “In death there are no accidents, no coincidences, no mishaps, and no escapes.”

    This week, we’re continuing our tribute to iconic performers we’ve recently lost, as part of our May They Rest In Peace series. Join Henrique and David as they travel to Canada (spiritually, at least) to revisit one of the most memorable horror thrillers of the 2000s: Final Destination.

    Directed by James Wong and starring Devon Sawa, Ali Larter, Kerr Smith, and the unforgettable Tony Todd—who delivers an unforgettable turn in just one scene—this episode dives into the supernatural suspense that made this film a generational anxiety trigger.

    🎬 Topics discussed in this episode:
    • Did Final Destination create anxiety for an entire generation?
    • How did this idea evolve from an X-Files spec script to a full-on franchise?
    • “Is it just us, or is that teacher’s death a real wackity-schmackity-do death?”
    • Why did the studio axe the romance between Sawa and Larter?
    • “How does Tony Todd steal the film with just 5 minutes of screentime?”

    💥 PLUS:
    • Are we entering a new wave of Nepo Baby Cinema?
    • Did David’s sister accidentally curate the best horror sleepover of 2000?
    • Is JFK airport truly as terrifying as movies make it seem?
    • Could Marvel’s Thunderbolts save the MCU?

  • Harriet the Spy (1996) Childhood Lessons, Nickelodeon Nostalgia, and Farewell to a Star

    Harriet the Spy (1996) Childhood Lessons, Nickelodeon Nostalgia, and Farewell to a Star
    May 6 2025
    “You’re an individual, and that makes people nervous. And it’s gonna keep making people nervous for the rest of your life.”

    2025 isn’t even halfway through and already we’ve lost several iconic figures in entertainment. To honor their legacies, we’re launching a tribute series this month titled “May They Rest In Peace.” We’re starting with a loss that hit us right in the childhood heart.

    🎬 This week, we’re diving into Nickelodeon’s first-ever theatrical release—1996’s Harriet the Spy. Set in New York City, the film follows 11-year-old Harriet as she trains to be a spy, chronicling the lives of neighbors and classmates until her notebook is exposed and her world turns upside down.

    Directed by Bronwen Hughes and starring Michelle Trachtenberg, Rosie O’Donnell, and Gregory Smith, this mid-90s gem has plenty to say about identity, growing up, and the pain of being honest in a world that wants you to conform.


    Topics include:
    • Did Nickelodeon dominate 90s kids’ media?
    • How massive was the marketing push for their first movie?
    • What made Michelle Trachtenberg perfect as Harriet?
    • Is this still a kids’ movie, or does it hit harder as an adult?
    • What life lessons still resonate nearly 30 years later?

    PLUS:
    • What’s the correct way to prepare pot roast?
    • Henrique’s story of Nickelodeon visiting his elementary school.
    • Listener suggestions that might shape future episodes.
    • The final TV role that brought Michelle Trachtenberg’s career full circle.
    • Did our hosts prefer The Accountant 2 or Until Dawn?
