This time it’s personal. On a very special Thanksgiving episode, Movie Schmovie shows a little gratitude.

From a $135k-budgeted found footage horror film to $200 million blockbuster spectacles, come along as we discuss 2011's The Tunnel, Loki: Season 2, The Marvels, and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.

So much, in so little time! If you can believe it, in less than 60 minutes the guys run through 1997's dark and disturbing Event Horizon, David Fincher's The Killer, Taika Waititi's Next Goal Wins, Apple TV+'s new MonsterVerse series, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, and Sundance Audience Award Winner, The Persian Version. It's a nice mix of titles you can watch at home and in theaters, so take a listen and plan your time accordingly. 

The guys take on a trio of new horror releases in this post-Halloween episode: Steve’s Required Viewing pick, the masterful and extreme Argentinian possession thriller When Evil Lurks; Blumhouse’s smash hit adaptation of the beloved video game, Five Nights at Freddy’s; and Mike Flanagan’s final Netflix mini-series, The Fall of the House of Usher.

It’s Halloween, so listen to us Hallo-whine about the most annoying aspects of horror films. Visit http://www.movieschmovie.com for more movie news and reviews.

Ron, Steve, and John delve into the health of the modern mega-franchise and chat about the engrossing new book MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios. Also in this episode: Ron’s Required Viewing pick, Audition (1999); a quick look at Scorsese’s latest epic crime drama Killers of the Flower Moon; and some other things the guys have seen.

The pod is back, and there’s a lot to discuss! The guys start off by reviewing this week’s Required Viewing, 1987‘s Three O’Clock High, and then jump into a smorgasbord of recent releases, including Blumhouse’s Totally Killer and The Exorcist: Believer, Lionsgate’s Saw X, and 20th Century’s The Creator, among others.

As a departure from their boring habit of talking about movies that "exist," Ronald, Steve, and John pretend to be studio heads trying to devise a successful slate of imaginary works. Creative collaborators are chosen at random and then the guys pitch their ideas to each other. Dreams will be forged. Some will fail. Aka just another day at Schmovie Studios.
