Thank god for Site B. This week's episode is all about Isla Sorna, the *other* InGen island full of genetically-engineered nightmare monsters...THE LOST WORLD. 

Is this movie really as disappointing as we all remember? Or are we just judging it by impossible Spielberg standards? Only one way to find out...

Demon hotels, Liam Neeson, toxic fans, goblin babies, time-traveling ghouls, Things, Things, and more Things...we saw it all this winter.

But it's time to say goodbye. Our April miniseries will kick off next week. Until then, farewell, Winter Hell.

Our intro song for Winter Hell is a mish mosh of soundtracks and dialogue clips that are pulled from horror films that take place in the frozen cold. Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind’s “Main Title” track for The Shining and Ennio Morricone’s composition for The Thing are the central themes you hear.
The outro music is the ominous end credits song from The Shining called “Midnight and the Stars are You” by Ray Noble and His Orchestra with vocals by Al Bowlly.

What was the original THING that came before THE THING and also before the the prequel to THE THING? 

It's 1951’s THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD, where the titular Thing is basically Carrot Frankenstein...and we fucking loved it. Really, it's worth watching.

Our winter miniseries about frozen ghouls and icy murderers begins today (!!) with...THE SHINING.

Kubrick's seminal 1980 hedge maze of a horror film is despairingly cold, trapped indoors, and cursed with cabin fever. It's the ultimate WINTER HELL movie.

Our intro song for Winter Hell is a mish mosh of soundtracks and dialogue clips that are pulled from horror films that take place in the frozen cold. Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind’s “Main Title” track for The Shining and Ennio Morricone’s composition for The Thing are the central themes you hear.
The outro music is the ominous end credits song from The Shining called “Midnight and the Stars are You” by Ray Noble and His Orchestra with vocals by Al Bowlly.

This week we investigate Mel Brooks' "Spaceballs" (1987) with Griffin Newman (Blank Check with Griffin & David, Masters of the Universe: Revelation, The George Lucas Talk Show, The Tick), and search for the scene at its center.

This is a podcast about movies, and the scenes that make them special. Usually on our show, we explore a film we love, a new release, or ask our guests to bring a movie they can’t wait to talk about. But this week, and throughout the summer, we’re devoting our show to 20th Century Fox’s Alien Franchise.

• Intro (00:00-01:19)
• Spaceballs? (01:19-03:06)
• Introducing Griffin Newman (03:06-03:30)
• What we talk about when we talk about Spaceballs (03:30-54:23)
• A brief and incomplete history of Spaceballs (54:23-01:26:06)
• Griffin and Adam's Scene (01:26:06-01:36:08)
• Dom's Scene (01:36:08-01:42:23)
• Closing Thoughts (01:42:23-01:58:16)
