It’s a Trap! This week Ryan and Shane review M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap. This comedy/thriller’s strange tone works better for some than others. In this episode, we talk about the film’s cinematography, performances, dialogue, and the silliness of certain scenes. Is this a flawed masterpiece, a well-made disaster, or somewhere in between? Find out on the Mind Your Movies Podcast!

HAAAARK! This week we’re spilling our beans about two great modern black-and-white movies.

First we discuss The Lighthouse. A spellbinding masterpiece that transports you to a hellish 1890’s lighthouse off the coast of Maine. With farts.

Then we talk about Ana Lily Amirpour’s Iranian vampire-western, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night. A partially crowdfunded indie flick that also uses black and white cinematography to transport you to an otherworldly reality.

P.S. we recorded this before the very disappointing election on Tuesday. Maybe our enthusiasm for movies can be a nice distraction for someone out there.

On this week’s Halloween themed mini-episode Ryan and Shane discuss Halloween III: Season of the Witch. It’s the only Halloween movie without Michael Myers. It’s also the only movie with evil Irish Halloween masks and robots. Does this supernatural mystery hold up as a camp classic? Or is it just a sign of what could have been for the Halloween franchise? Find out on this week’s mini-episode of the Mind Your Movies Podcast.

On Episode 3 of the podcast we tackle the AFI’s 100 Years 100 Laughs list of the greatest American comedies. Shane chose the brilliant homage to screwball and slapstick comedy, What’s Up, Doc? And Ryan chose Tim Burton’s horror comedy classic, Beetlejuice. Watch us laugh as we discuss two classic comedies in our episode, What’s Up, Beetlejuice?

On this week’s mini-episode, Ryan and Shane discuss Jane Schoenbrun’s surreal queer coming-of-age film, I Saw the TV Glow. We talk about Schoenbrun’s unique visual style and storytelling, and the film’s importance as representation.

This week Ryan and Shane discuss a couple of dreamy debut feature films. We talk about A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) as Johnny Depp’s introduction to the world. We also discuss Eraserhead (1977) as the emergence of David Lynch as a bold, surreal voice in independent cinema. The films’ dreamy imagery and ingenious practical effects make for a great double feature. Join us for A Nightmare on Elm StreEraserhead.

Our first half episode, where we explore a single movie in brief, features a discussion on Coralie Fargeat's newest horror phenomenon, "The Substance". Hear our thoughts on its themes, acting, and insanity in this week's episode and let us know what you thought on our Letterboxd!
