We're doing things a little different on this special companion show to the main Collateral Cinema episodes, where hosts Beau and Robert take a more topical approach to our standard format, and focus on Top 5/10 lists, deep dives into specific movie eras and franchises, as well as reviews for movies that we might miss on the main show, and also some indie movie reviews here and there! So join us, as we talk about our top five favorite moments from the annals of horror, and we give a Random Movie Review for the outrageously cheesy Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers!

PODCAST SHOUTOUT: KolbyToldMe (@kolbytoldme)
SHOWNOTES: Returning guest Chazzle Dazzle from the Trial by Error Variety Show discusses with us the 1997 superhero film based on the comic by Todd McFarlane: Spawn! Starring Michael Jai White as the eponymous protagonist, John Leguizamo in a combination comic relief–villain role, and Nicol Williamson in his final film role, this movie is characterized by its darker plot, retroactively underwhelming visual effects, and distinction of being the first film to feature a black actor in a major comic book superhero role. We reveal our thoughts on these points and more in this fun episode!

SHOWNOTES: It's that time of year again! Collateral Cinema is celebrating our anniversary with another Takashi Miike film: Visitor Q! This black comedy features a number of disturbing taboos while showcasing the benefits of digital video, in a realistic documentary-style juxtaposed with surrealist bizarre events. Beau, Ash, and Dakota discuss Miike's approach to social commentary through shock value—comparing and contrasting the direction of this title with other Takashi Miike movies we've featured on the podcast—and ultimately just how fucked up this film is! Just listen. You'll know what we mean.

PODCAST SHOUTOUT: The Christie Gee Podcast (@misschristiegee)
SHOWNOTES: Welcome back, Collateral Cinema fans! Our resident "car guy" Robert Ortegon has picked out another influential film of the "car chase" genre: the 1974 original Gone in 60 Seconds, directed, produced, and written by H. B. Halicki! Beau, Ash, and Dakota join Robert in discussing this independent action movie well known for the 93 destroyed cars during the filming of its record-holding 40-minute car chase scene, as well as the 2000 remake it inspired (starring Nicolas Cage and Angelina Jolie). We talk the direction of Halicki—a car lover with no prior experience in filmmaking, the cinematography, the use of actual car wrecks and real bystanders during filming, and of course, the cars (including famous Ford Mustang "Eleanor"). We even compare and contrast this title with its remake and other car movies at length! If you enjoy Collateral Cinema, stay tuned for our "Miikeversary"—that's right, folks; we'll be focusing on Takashi Miike's Visitor Q in time for our third anniversary!
