Sally is the only sane person in this insane asylum! This week we are covering the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas with Stephanie Cafferty and Kim aka Wondermom and we discuss how this movie brings back the nostalgia that the Millennials are craving and why it’s fun to relive your old childhood movies and TV shows. Plus, Sally is not the lovable character everyone thinks she is on the surface and while she may be the one who’s captured, we talk about the messed up things she does to her creator. Is she the bad guy? And we ask the most important question about this movie, is Nightmare Before Christmas a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie?

Hack the Planet! We are joined by regular Game Night contributor Jeffrey Sax to discuss the movie Hackers and we get into how Jeff got into technology and how it led to him owning his own network and computer security company. Plus, we speculate whether you can still be arrested by the federal government if you don’t hack across state lines as Phreak kept claiming and did this movie predict ransomware?

S**t! I have a place for that. Stephanie Cafferty makes a triumphant return to the show to talk about the movie Halloween and whether continuity is the Achilles’ heel of this entire movie. Plus, find out why Willie’s major problems with the movie all have to do with Annie, but it’s not the character herself and Michael Myers gets his eye poked by both a knitting needle and a coat hanger and he gets shot so many times yet still survives, is Michael Myers superhuman?

First dead body I’ve ever seen. Look different in real life. They don’t move. Samuel Lewis of The Samcast Network is here and he’s never seen the movie Saw before but there’s a good reason why, he’s representing a movie watcher who doesn’t usually like watching horror films and it’s Willie’s job to convince him to watch it. This movie was a controversial pick to discuss on Cinemavention and we will be spoiling this movie like we always do, but it’s highly encouraged for you to listen to this episode even if you haven’t seen the movie and especially if you’re hesitant to watch it. Willie breaks down the entire movie for Sam and we discuss whether the trailer is an accurate portrayal of this movie. Plus, we are joined by a roundtable of guests who joined the watch party for this film to give their thoughts about the movie and what if Saw is not even a horror film at all and instead is a who-done-it film or a murder mystery film instead?

Look! I’m getting out! I don’t care what happens to her…I’m getting the hell out of here. Regular Game Night contributor Brian Kofford is back with us again to talk about the movie The Evil Dead. In this episode, Willie discusses his problems with the lack of a telephone to call the police or even the lack of an alternate road to get to the latest town to call for help, but Brian explains how this movie is actually more believable than horror films today. Plus, did you know that this movie was supposed to be filmed in Michigan and the crew almost got hypothermia in the Tennessee cabin they did end up choosing for the film location and is it better to watch Evil Dead II before The Evil Dead?

If you wanna waste your life…then you can just drop fucking dead. *thud* Regular Game Night contributor Dolan Moles is back to begin our spooky month of movies, beginning with Final Destination. Did you know that this movie was originally written as an X-Files episode? Was it a mistake to stretch a TV episode into a full length feature film instead? Plus, an alternate ending seems to suggest that Alex and Clear were supposed to end up together but we discuss why that doesn’t belong in this movie and there’s questions about the order of who dies in the movie, but was Alex even supposed to die at all in the first place?

Tell me about it stud. Samuel Lewis of The Samcast Network rejoins us, this time to talk about the musical turned movie Grease and how this movie brings back so many memories of previous movies we’ve covered on this show as well as many high school memories. How accurately did this movie portray a typical high school year and does it hold up today? Plus, what is the message that this story is trying to send and is it the right one? RIP Olivia Newton-John.

Open the pod bay doors, HAL. I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that. We are joined by Matthew Ross from The VOD Squad to discuss the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. This movie doesn’t have any of the fancy CGI of today’s movies, and we discuss whether the practical effects of this movie still work 50-60 years later? Plus, Matt and Willie debate whether the pacing actually helps the story or not and we compare IBM’s Watson to HAL 9000, a supercomputer that won a rap battle against Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. I promise it makes sense.

I don’t know how to put this, but I’m kind of a big deal. Sarah Lane from the Daily Tech News Show and Have Such A Good Day joins us to talk about Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy and we talk about how this movie exposes how sexist news stations in the 70s used to be through the use of comedy, but do the jokes still land in 2022? Plus, Sarah tells us how she got into broadcasting and how playing around with a camera and microphone as a kid got her to where she is today and it turns out there’s more truth to the news station brawl scene than you might realize at first.

Uh oh, sounds like somebody’s got a case of the Mondays! We are joined by Preston Monroe, the creator of the modern version of Showbot.tv to discuss the movie Office Space! We talk about how this movie has all the tropes of working an office job from the printer constantly not working to the cat and mouse game of having to bounce back and forth from HR to the boss and back to HR to address an issue. Preston shares his own stories from working an actual office job and how they compare to the movie. Plus, Preston has some useful tips on how to escape work early and Willie has a major problem with Peter’s careless attitude about showing up late to work, Preston provides some insight on why it’s actually super difficult to get fired from an office job.
