SHOWNOTES: Welcome to the first episode of Collateral Cinema Director's Cut! 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!

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!

SPECIAL GUEST: Captain Nostalgia – Victims and Villains (@VctmsAndVillans)
SHOWNOTES: Happy Holidays, Collateral Cinema listeners! On this Christmas Day, we celebrate the season with a focus on Ron Howard's 2000 live action, feature film adaptation of Dr. Seuss' original children's book How the Grinch Stole Christmas! starring Jim Carrey in a memorable, if over-the-top performance as the titular Grinch! We discuss the value of this version of the story versus other adaptations; additions and modifications which flesh out Seuss' original story, whilst remaining true to the critique on modern commercialism, materialism, and consumerism; Ron Howard's direction in adapting this timeless holiday classic and overall cinematography; and, of course, Mr. Carrey's zany role in this film, which brought new life to the character. Collateral Cinema wishes you a merry/happy Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Festivus, or whatever you're celebrating this season! And stay tuned for more content after the New Year!
