399: Asylum [1972] Movie Discussion

Spooky Season rears it’s ugly, burned, maggot-filled, decapitated head once again and we here at SFFCH are ready to vanquish it the best way we know how: make a damned podcast. This time our sights are set on the Horror Anthology Movie, a classic staple of the genre, with the 70’s British film Asylum. Re-animated body parts wrapped in brown paper, magical reflective suits, imaginary Swedes, murderous toys, maniacal laughter aplenty and a possible conspiracy we just can’t quite work out are what awaits in out spine-tingling discussion.

398: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time [2010] Movie Discussion

He’ll never learn, that boy! What Jamie describes as a ‘morbid fascination’ the rest of us agree would be better classed as a fetish by now: watching video game movie adaptations! Once again, we swim in this bog of sewage hoping to one day find a nugget of gold and this time we have dredged up Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. This week, we ask the important questions: how can a film with so many actors we have good will for be this bland? How is Omid Djalili not in this, we could have sworn he was? Are we really not supposed to know that Ben Kingsley is the villain? Just how does a poisoned coat work exactly? And how many time we can say ‘ostrich’ in one podcast?

397: Signs [2002] Movies Discussion

It’s time to not talk about Mel Gibson (unsuccessfully) this time on Spoiler Filled as we probe into M. Night Shyamalan’s Signs, a film about grief and faith wrapped up in an alien invasion movie. Now, we know its cool to hate on Shyamalan, but this time we’re gonna be uncharacteristically nice and consider whether this is his best film or not. This time we consider: the effectiveness of the movie’s wry humour, the meta-ness of having the writer of the film do a cameo apologizing for killing a character, whether OCD will save the day and did they really need to kill TWO dogs?

396: The Black Cauldron [1985] Movie Discussion

A long, long time ago, at the birth of Spoiler Filled Film Conversation Hooray, we all agreed that if we were ever to cover a Disney Animated film it was going to be The Black Cauldron. A movie based on a story based on Welsh mythology which allegedly almost bankrupted the now massive business juggernaut. Well, its been almost 400 episodes and we felt it was finally time to take a peak. Have we discovered an underappreciated gem or are we wishing we waited another 400 episodes to watch it? Tune in to find out.
