    Ep. 117 - Insidious: Out of the Further
    2026/08/31
    The Insidious series is six movies strong and 15 years old. Really?
    From dental hygienist horror and endless living room forts to the tattooist mapping out plans on grapefruits, this movie is... well, it’s a Part 6! Is there still life in this $815 million franchise, or has it finally run out of steam? I discuss Amelia Eve’s striking resemblance to Naomi Watts, Lin Shaye’s glorious return as Elise, and whether "Cyrus" makes for a memorable villain. One thing is for sure: There will be another sequel.

    Ep. 116 - The End of Oak Street (with 2nd 2nd AD Riley Flanagan)
    2026/08/24
    Review and interview!
    What happens when a quiet 1982 Michigan suburb is suddenly transported back to prehistoric times? You get The End of Oak Street—the intensely fun new film from David Robert Mitchell, the brilliant mind behind It Follows.
    Touted as the best dinosaur movie since 1993's Jurassic Park, this flick stars Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor navigating a neighborhood overrun by feathered dinos, giant bugs, and unexpected suburban drama. Somehow, it all works.“Oak Street” was filmed in Georgia and I knew the 2nd 2nd AD, Riley Flanagan, who was a former guest. On my 100th episode, he was promoting his business, ByADsforADs, a great tool for filmmakers and when I saw his name in the credits, I asked if he wanted to come back.
    So, kick back and hear my thoughts on the flick, followed by behind the scenes from one of the people who was there. Make sure to check out his app ByAdsForAds, available wherever you find finer apps.

    Ep. 115 - Tom McLoughlin Interview Uncut (Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives)
    2026/08/03
    Happy 40th Anniversary to Jason Voorhees!
    A little while ago, I decided to re-release older episodes that are uncut. Back when I first started podcasting, having sharp, finely trimmed episodes were all the rage. Since nothing is recorded that way, it needs to be edited. Now, everyone wants to hear everything about the interview, wrinkles and all. So, here are classic episodes of Classic American Movies: Uncut. Can you believe it's been four decades since “Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives” slashed its way into our hearts? When I first kicked off the podcast during the pandemic, I was interviewing legends left and right, but landing writer/director Tom McLoughlin was a total “pinch-me” moment! I’ll admit, my interview skills were a bit rough around the edges back then, but Tom was an absolute pro and on his A-game. It was such a treat to dive deep into the history and behind-the-scenes magic of this slasher classic.Ready for the ultimate fan experience? There’s a special Halloween screening happening this year at the actual camp where the movie was filmed! Don't lose your head—grab your tickets here

  • Ep. 114 - Uwe Boll (Citizen Vigilante)

    Ep. 114 - Uwe Boll (Citizen Vigilante)
    2026/07/20
    Uwe Boll is no stranger to controversy. I first heard of him about 20 years ago when he challenged his harshest critics to a boxing match. Well, he’s back in everyone’s sights with his latest film, Citizen Vigilante, due to it’s politically charging nature. Some recent interviews only focused on the politics. Others clearly never saw the movie and just wanted to attack him. However, I wanted to treat Uwe like how I would want to be treated and we just talked. Turns out he’s one of the nicest people I interviewed! Tune in as we discuss German food, bakeries, movies and more. Love him or hate him: Uwe Boll is always entertaining.

    If you're interested in seeing Citizen Vigilante, it's available to rent on Amazon Prime right now.

    Ep. 113 - Young Washington
    2026/07/13
    I’m not a historian—I’m just a guy who loves movies—but I’ve got to say, this was an interesting ride. Before George Washington was the face on the dollar bill, he was a raw, unpolished surveyor-turned-commander taking an absolute ass-whipping from reality.
    What I really dig about this is the way it was made. Angel Studios is giving the big Hollywood machines a run for their money with this crowdfunded, indie approach, and honestly? That’s the most punk rock thing I’ve seen in cinema in years.
    Is it perfect? No. There are some noticeable issues with the sound and the AI-generated battle scenes, which I definitely have some thoughts on. But it’s never boring, and it gives you a gritty, human look at the pre-legend era of American history that you just don’t see often. If you’re looking for a patriotic flick that doesn’t just rehash the same old textbook stories, this is worth the ticket price.

    Ep 112 - Jackass: Best and Last
    2026/07/02
    It’s been 26 years since Jackass first hit our screens, and I can’t believe we’re here. From the early days of Big Brother magazine to the insanity of Jackass: Best and Last, this group of idiots turned "getting the crap kicked out of each other" into an art form.
    They weren't just stuntmen; they kickstarted the DIY approach to entertainment that defines a generation. Whether you grew up watching them on MTV or you're just discovering the legacy, Best and Last feels like waiving goodbye to an old friend. I
    t’s finite, it’s funny, and yes, it’s a bit teary-eyed to see the crew hang it up.Critics are calling it a "fearless kind of genius" and honestly, they're not wrong. If you loved the show, the movies, and the chaos, you owe it to yourself to see this in theaters.

    Ep. 111 - The Death of Robin Hood
    2026/06/25
    Forget the swashbuckling, tights, and the lighthearted folk hero we grew up with. This isn't the Errol Flynn classic. We’re looking at an aging, broken Hugh Jackman trying to survive in a medieval world that is, frankly, just as brutal as you’d imagine. It’s dark, it’s dirty, and it’s arguably the only "revisionist" film lately that doesn't feel like a total slog. It trades the myth for the man—a guy haunted by a lifetime of violence and just looking for a way out.
    It’s a far cry from the Saturday matinee legends, but if you’re tired of the swapping, hollow reboots, this might be the gritty, honest look at the character you didn't know you needed.

    Ep. 110 - Masters of The Universe (the best movie in theaters no one is watching)
    2026/06/18
    I’m back from the Underground Film Festival in Orlando, fresh from wining best feature script and I’m ready to talk about He-Man! Masters of the Universe is the best movie no one is watching in the theaters and I’m ready to talk about it. After Mattel missed the opportunity to make Star Wars toys, they were ready to try something fresh (well, kinda). The toys were a massive success, as well as the cartoon, which all quickly fell apart. Smash cut to 40 years later, Mattel is hot off of their success with Barbie and are ready to try another toy. Sadly, this one doesn’t have the same momentum. After listening to the pod, check out the blog at www.ClassicAmericanMovies.com !
