Title: Leprechaun Returns
Director: Steven Kostanski
Producers: Daniel Iron, Lance Samuels
Writers: Mark Jones (created by), Suzanne Keilly
Starring: Taylor Spreitler, Pepi Sonuga, Sai Bennett, Linden Porco, Mark Holton
Release date: December 11, 2018
PODCAST SHOUTOUT: FanScription by Channel Awesome (@ChannelAwesome)
SHOWNOTES: Collateral Cinema's exploration of the slasher genre continues in our analysis of the Leprechaun franchise—most particularly, its most recent entry: Leprechaun Returns! This 2018 TV movie chosen by our very own Robert Ortegon is the latest in a series of horror comedy films revolving around a murderous leprechaun (historically played by the great Warwick Davis) and his attempt to repossess his stolen gold. Not dissimilar to our Halloween (2018) episode earlier this season, Beau, Robert, Ash, and Dakota discuss the Leprechaun franchise history through each title, before diving into the cinematography and plot of this soft reboot taking place after the very first entry (again, just like the newest Halloween!). We also offer our thoughts on the actor performances, such as Lindon Norco picking up the torch of the titular character the Leprechaun, and Mark Holton reprising his role from the first film. Find the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, grab a box of Lucky Charms (or should we say Lucky Clovers), and eat a dick, Ass Baggins!

PODCAST SHOUTOUT: Movie Sign with the Mads (@TheMadsAreBack)
SHOWNOTES: Welcome back, cinephiles and podcast fans! This episode, Collateral Cinema takes a trip into the slasher genre once more with our analysis of The Slumber Party Massacre. This particular film is unique in that it was directed, directed, produced, and written by women, despite its exploitative depiction of females! We discuss the development of this movie from a slasher parody as originally intended into a straight horror and how that aspect shows in the final product, as well as the over-the-top gore and nudity, partially unintentional but partially intentional humor, and the franchise as a whole with a brief analysis of Slumber Party Massacre II and III! This certainly will be a night to remember...

PODCAST SHOUTOUT: Victims and Villains (@VctmsAndVillans)
SHOWNOTES: We did say we would focus on good movies, BAD movies, AND everything else in-between, right? Well, folks, here is another bad movie review to behold and laugh our asses at the ridiculousness of it all: Uwe Boll's 2003 film adaption of the arcade game House of the Dead. The truth is, while it is cinematically awful on multiple levels, we truly enjoyed ourselves watching this and also discussing Uwe Boll's unique filmography, the distinctively cheesy action scenes in this flick, HOTD's frequent and ineffectual visual callbacks to the light gun arcade game series, and the hilariously bad dialogue and narrative that define the movie. Grab your arcade guns and choice of inebriating substances—a LOT of inebriating substances... and enjoy the ride!

PODCAST SHOUTOUT: Super Media Bros Podcast (@SuperMediaBros_)
SHOWNOTES: Look alive, cinephiles! We got another classic flick coming right at ya', and that is the 1968 action thriller Bullitt, directed by Peter Yates and starring the late and great Steve McQueen! This was another pick by our cohost and resident car enthusiast Robert, who is joined by Beau, Ash, and Dakota in discussing the hyper-realistic cinematography, down-to-earth dialogue coupled with masterful performances, and excellent storytelling that selected this film for preservation in the United States National Film Registry on the grounds of being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". We also delve into the car chase scene considered famous in the world of cinema, the use of actual locations in the San Fransisco setting, and of course Mr. Steve McQueen's memorable career and fabulous filmography. If you enjoy this episode, be sure to check out the patron-only commentary we recorded just prior to recording this, once we release it on our Patreon and Podbean Patron!

Previously released on Collateral Gaming Video Game Podcast, this was a little extra we worked on together not too long ago for you cinephiles and gamers out there! In an effort to kick off the New Year, our offshoot gaming podcast wanted to produce a collaboration with us on something that had been trending, which we agreed presents itself as both a movie and a game in many ways—Black Mirror: Bandersnatch! For any of our listeners that recall it, this is a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-style Netflix original movie, in which the viewer (or player) guides the protagonist through a dark and twisted plot to develop a five-star game. Without spoiling the multiple endings and meta narrative twists in full, we discuss the value (or lack thereof) of this new interactive media adventure, with Collateral Cinema and Collateral Gaming taking different sides! We decided to go ahead and release this on both of our platforms so y'all can give our spoiler-free review a listen, and of course, you can still check out this movie/game for yourself on Netflix if you so desire. Stay tuned for content from both of our podcasts, including next week's brand new episode on Bullitt (starring Steve McQueen) from yours truly!

Producers: Mark Forstater, Michael White
Writer: Monty Python
Starring: Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin

PODCAST SHOUTOUT: 2 Girls On A Bench
SHOWNOTES: Greetings to all cinephiles everywhere! On this pre-break episode of Collateral Cinema, we decided to focus on something decidedly more light-hearted after our anniversary episode, so we threw on Monty Python and the Holy Grail, rolled up some blunts, and dove straight into the absurdist humor, political and religious satire, witty and memorable dialogue, outrageously funny and legendary scenes, amazingly well-acted performances, and highly original direction by Gilliam and Jones. We also cover the themes of existential absurdism, and recap how Holy Grail laid the groundwork for many generations of comedians and writers that make up modern comedy, and also go off on some tangents of our own! So grab your favorite smoke, charge up thy holy hand grenade, and come with us, as we celebrate this important and seminal film!
