Film and TV Reviews and Podcasts
Here’s the latest ep of The Obsessive Viewer Podcast! As promised, our friend (and unofficial technical consultant) Chris Spangle from We Are Libertarians joined us to discuss the Fall TV season. Unfortunately Tiny couldn’t record, but he did record a short, separate potpourri segment that I added to the end of the podcast. This was the first episode we recorded […]
CBS recently gave a pilot order for a HIMYM spinoff titled How I Met Your Dad. Being a huge fan of HIMYM and being generally against the idea of spinoffs, I was surprised how much I like the idea of this spinoff. Watch me defend myself below. Follow me around the Internet.
Here’s the latest ep of The Obsessive Viewer Podcast! We were originally going to have Chris Spangle from We Are Libertarians on to discuss the Fall TV season but due to technical issues on our end, we had to bump him to next week. Instead, we introduced a new concept to the show that we look forward to doing once […]
I’ve been really lagging behind on these TV updates, not to mention the blog as a whole. I apologize for that. I’m hopeful that things will get back to normal soon. And I hope that I’ll get back into the swing of my TV watching habits. I mean, look at this, I watched 11 episodes of television in a two-week […]
This week was huge for The Obsessive Viewer Podcast. For starters, I edited this week’s episode in a new program that is going to be far less problematic than Garageband and, as I type this, I’m expecting some sweet new podcasting equipment to be delivered. But most exciting is the fact that we signed up for IndyPopCon. We’ll have more […]
Release Date: April 4, 2014 Directors: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo Writers: Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely Stars: Chris Evans, Robert Redford, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie Trailer Tuesdays are back! Now that my time isn’t devoted to Shocktober and horror movies, I can get back to my normal routine. That routine includes Trailer Tuesdays, Streaming Saturdays, Weekly TV posts and, ah hell, why not some Bond 50 posts as well? In […]
My friends and I have been dedicating the month of October to the horror genre and calling it Shocktober for several years now. I started this blog in February and from the start I was excited about sharing my Shocktober experience with anyone and everyone. I have been saying for a while that this year has to make up for […]
Adaptations & Remakes is an ongoing feature where I take a movie or a book and compare it to its remake and/or adaptation. Happy Halloween, everyone! If you’ve been checking on the blog throughout the day, you’ll know that earlier in the day, Tiny applied his newfound appreciation for the Halloween franchise to compare Carpenter’s vision with Zombie’s depiction. Then […]
Seeing as Halloween is now upon us and I’ve committed myself to writing four “Days of Blood” posts, I figured I would devote the fourth and final post to some of the better (and more recent) horror and horror-adjacent titles available to stream on Netflix. Hopefully it will make up for the way I’ve been neglecting my Streaming Saturday recommendations […]
I’m releasing this week’s episode of the podcast earlier than usual. We recorded it to coincide with Halloween and now that the holiday is finally here, we’ve got a new ep of The Obsessive Viewer Podcast ready for you. This week we talk about our Shocktober and just have a general catch up session after taking a week off from […]
Make sure you check out The Obsessive Viewer Podcast’s episode celebrating our love of zombies. Zombies are by far my favorite movie monster. There’s nothing about zombies that scares me, per se. I would actually go so far as to say that they’re fairly low on the list of scariest movie monsters. But zombie movies, to me, are never really […]
Space is an endless landscape for humanity to explore. The idea of colonizing the vast unknown and taking humanity to the stars has been a dream of humanity for centuries. This dream has led to a vast array of fictional voyages into space. Still, there’s something inherently terrifying about the idea of space travel and the isolation that goes with […]
I dropped the ball last week and didn’t get around to posting a “Week in TV” post. So now I’m posting two week’s worth of TV watching. Lucky for you guys, Shocktober has kind of taken control, so my TV watching has been considerably low. So here is what I’ve been watching for the last couple weeks. Enjoy.
We are nearing the end of Shocktober 2013. In the run up to the final week, I realized I have a ton of movies I still want to watch. So, with plenty of unused vacation time to spare, I took Monday and Tuesday off from work. Throughout this mini-vacation I’ve created for myself, I’m going to be watching a ton […]
I’m excited about this week’s episode. It’s a little different from what we usually do. John Dugan (who played Grandpa in the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre as well as Texas Chainsaw 3D) was nice enough to speak to us about his experiences in the business and life in general. It was a fun chat and I hope you like […]
