PODCAST SHOUTOUT: Your Favorite Band Sucks (@YFBSpod)
SHOWNOTES: Happy Halloween, Collateral Cinema fans! We're celebrating the 2019 holiday by discussing one of the greatest and most influential horror films of all time, and another this season based on a best-selling novel by Stephen King: The Shining, the 1980 movie adaptation directed, produced, and written by Stanley Kubrick! Beau, Robert, and Ash appraise the value of the film as a pop culture phenomenon, give our thoughts on the cinematic direction taken by Kubrick in comparison and contrast to King's original story, and analyze the implicit qualities of layered storytelling throughout. We even have time to mention the documentary film Room 237 and the upcoming sequel adaptation Doctor Sleep. You can check in any time you like, but—wait, that's the wrong popular culture hotel reference!

PODCAST SHOUTOUT: Black Girls Do Stuff Too! (@BlkGirlsDoStuff)
SHOWNOTES: Welcome to Collateral Cinema Season Three! We wanted to start off with something a little more contentious: Beau, Robert, Ashley, and Dakota don't actually agree on how we feel about the 2016 DCEU superhero (or supervillain) movie Suicide Squad, directed and written by David Ayer! Which of us wholeheartedly agrees with the generally negative critical consensus? Which of us feels there's something of value here to be apologists for? Which of us just likes that custom-made Joker car? Listen to find out! This Season Premiere, Collateral Cinema discusses the questionable cinematography, well-chosen but not-so-well-implemented soundtrack, mixed-reception casting, and the problematic reshooting and editing process that happened in the production of Suicide Squad. We also make comparisons on the part of Jared Leto's Joker performance against the many others (including Joaquin Phoenix' recent portrayal in the standalone titular movie), as well as this movie as a whole to its obvious Marvel counterpart and cinematic adaptation inspiration Guardians of the Galaxy from James Gunn—and on that note, predictions of where Gunn will take the announced sequel/soft reboot The Suicide Squad set in the DC Extended Universe, in addition to what we expect from the upcoming sequel Birds of Prey! There's a lot to dig in here, and a lot to harp on in this film, but most importantly, did we have fun talking about it?

While getting ready for Season Three, Collateral Cinema visited our local theater once more to see the newly released film adaptation of the 1986 classic novel by Stephen King and sequel to the 2017 hit film: It—that is, we watched It Chapter Two and gave our thoughts on the supernatural horror movie still fresh in our minds! Does "IT" live up to its cinematic predecessors, both Chapter One and the 1990 miniseries? Do we even all agree on that? You can only find out by listening to our spoiler-free review! And afterward... stay afloat for our Season Premiere on Suicide Squad next week!

SHOWNOTES: Thank you Collateral Cinephiles for an absolutely fun and successful second season! We're happy to celebrate it with our finale episode on a cult classic very near and dear to our hearts: The Princess Bride! Featuring for the first time on the show our friend and fellow movie fan Megan Price, we analyze the massive impact of this culturally and memetically significant film, itself a member of both the Criterion Collection and National Film Registry. Adapted from the 1973 novel of the same name, The Princess Bride also leaves much for us to discuss in its unforgettable cast of characters; many, many memorable quotes; well-done use of a frame narrative; and fairy tale plot style. We felt this movie was the perfect send-off for an incredible season, and we hope you'll share our excitement for both the film and our podcast! Look forward to our interim bonus episodes (to be announced) and Collateral Cinema Season Three—starting with the divisive Suicide Squad this October!

SHOWNOTES: As Collateral Cinema's Season Two comes to a close, we revisit our indie film reviews in a 2019 independent movie we were approached to review! Beau, Robert, and Ash discuss Chasing Molly, directed by Josh Sutherland and written by Shelley Pack. Ms. Pack herself messaged us and asked us to review this comedy with elements of crime action. We delve into the many solid performances by the cast, unhinged humor, and pleasantly quick pacing. Enjoy the spoiler-free discussion, and stay tuned for our Season Finale episode on The Princess Bride!

Title: Martyrs [Wikipedia] [IMDb]
Director: Pascal Laugier
Producers: Richard Grandpierre, Simon Trottier
Writer: Pascal Laugier
Stars: Morjana Alaoui, Mylène Jampanoï
Release date: September 3, 2008 (France)
PODCAST SHOUTOUT: FriGay the 13th (@frigay13)
SHOWNOTES: Collateral Cinema treads again into controversial territory, this time in our discussion and analysis of the 2008 French–Canadian horror film Martyrs, directed and written by Pascal Laugier! A notable entry in the New French Extremity movement, this divisive movie warrants a dialogue regarding its distinctive three-act structure transcending genres, graphic depiction of violence and torture, and morally gray plotline. We even take some time to discuss New French Extremity films as a genre. If you like this episode, don't forget to check out our other episodes, and feel free to leave us a review or feedback!

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...
