  • Bram Stoker's Dracula (Spooky Szn)
    2025/10/22

    This week, we dive headfirst into the visual and stylistic feast that is Francis Ford Coppola’s "Bram Stoker's Dracula" (1992).

    The ambition is undeniable—Coppola wanted to make a definitive, hyper-gothic, technically ingenious vision of the classic novel. And yet, for all its spectacular in-camera effects, Oscar-winning costumes by Eiko Ishioka, and Gary Oldman's powerhouse performance, the hosts find themselves a little lost in the crimson mist.

    Lemar and Mackenzie agree that this film, despite its good parts (and they are gorgeous parts), is simply trying to do too much. We discuss the overstuffed plot, which attempts to be a sweeping historical tragedy, a lurid gothic horror, an erotic thriller, and a faithful period piece all at once. We praise Oldman's captivating Count, the lush, jaw-dropping visual artistry, and the sheer audacity of the production. But we can't ignore the narrative confusions, the wildly uneven supporting performances (poor Keanu), and the overall feeling of maximalism that leaves the story feeling dispersed rather than cohesive.

    Tune in as we try to see the good in this operatic monster movie, ultimately concluding that sometimes, even a masterpiece can be too much of a good thing.

  • Shaun of the Dead (Spooky Szn)
    2025/10/15

    This week on Spooky Szn, we shuffle into the world of the undead for one of the greatest horror-comedies of all time: Edgar Wright's "Shaun of the Dead (2004)!"

    Lemar is in absolute heaven, celebrating this film as one of his all-time favorites, raving about its pitch-perfect pacing, razor-sharp visual humor, and genuine love for the zombie genre. Mackenzie, however, still isn't a fan of zombie flicks... but even she finds the fun, witty heart in this blood-soaked rom-com.

    Join the hosts as they dig into the genius of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, dissecting how the film perfectly balances gut-busting laughs with surprisingly poignant drama and gory horror. We talk about the themes of arrested development, the true meaning of friendship, and whether a trip to the Winchester is really the best plan for a zombie apocalypse. Grab a Cornetto, a pint, and maybe a cricket bat, because we're going to tear apart this classic piece of British brilliance.

  • Vertigo (Spooky Szn)
    2025/10/08

    Our Spooky Szn continues its deep dive into the classics with one of the most celebrated, analyzed, and ultimately unsettling films ever made: Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo (1958)." While today it's hailed as a cinematic masterpiece, this film was a notoriously slow burn for original audiences, and Mackenzie and Lemar are ready to dig into exactly why it took so long for the world to catch up to Hitchcock's genius.

    This week, we're dissecting the very personal psychological thriller that shifts from a detective mystery into an agonizing study of obsession, control, and erotic fixation. We'll be discussing the brilliant technical innovations - like the famous "Vertigo Effect" - and how James Stewart's dark turn as Scottie, coupled with Kim Novak's haunting performance, creates a vortex of guilt and desire. We explore the symbolism of color, the genius of Bernard Herrmann’s score, and why the plot reveal two-thirds of the way through is less a twist and more a doorway into true psychological horror.

    If you love a film that demands repeat viewings, are fascinated by cinema history, or just want to hear a deep discussion on the dark heart of obsession, this episode is a can't-miss part of your Spooky Szn watch list. Don't worry, we'll try not to leave you dangling from a rooftop.
