Halloween Special - Tape #5: We're just here for the party.

Let out that fresh sigh of relief for the long-awaited day is finally here: the release of Don't Stop Recording's final V/H/S tape. It also happens to be Halloween. In the spirit of the season, Jacob and Matt sit down one last time (for now) to discuss Radio Silence's playfully timely treat 10/31/98. Jacob steers the conversation back onto blockbuster robot animation. Matt savours the presence of unproblematic male protagonists. Both evaluate their thoughts on the first V/H/S project and - in true anthology film spirit - return to Tape 56 to review whether Adam Wingard's wraparound saved the best for last. Trick or treat? Don't Stop Recording's final Halloween tape has endless goodies in store.

Halloween Special - Tape #4: I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation.

What could possibly be sicker than a fourth consecutive new episode of Don't Stop Recording in your podcast inboxes? Well, don't get us started on the fifth one tomorrow. On the fourth tape, Jacob and Matt take great admiration in Joe Swanberg's elaborately titled yet formally ambitious desktop thriller. Jacob applauds (and struggles to rationalise) a healthy three-act structure. Matt shares his comprehensive knowledge of that Flux series in Doctor Who. Both deliberate whether this is one of the more toxic online relationships depicted on-screen. Don't hang up the call - the penultimate episode of Don't Stop Recording's Halloween Special is on speed dial.

Halloween Special - Tape #3: I'm scared of getting the fear.

It's not often a podcast gets to synchronise a Tuesday-centric film with a Tuesday release. For the third tape of their Halloween Special, Jacob and Matt brave the glitch-infused woodland of Glenn McQuaid's cheekily derivative slasher short. Jacob finally gets to interpret the idea of the camera as a weapon literally. Matt stands up for Transformers One with far greater passion than the subject of the episode. Both strive to find a shred of empathy for any on-screen character. Clear up the static - Don't Stop Recording's own terrible Tuesday has arrived.
