Halloweenies: A Michael Myers Podcast

The Halloweenies are back in Ohio. No, not Springwood, but the small town of Herrington, where young Midwestern teens are having close encounters with the third kind. You guessed it: We're talking about Kevin Williamson and Robert Rodriguez's 1998 cult classic The Faculty. As you'll learn, the star-studded thriller is an essential detour in our Scream season -- and the gang doesn't let up. Together, they discuss What-if scenarios involving Williamson's career, the pros and cons of conformity, whether or not Mary Beth is a tragic character, and, naturally, the film's unstoppable '90s soundtrack. It's an episode that's guaranteed to jack you up.Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After surviving the Hollywood horrors within Scream 3, the Halloweenies are heading upstate to San Francisco to solve a string of murderers. Make no mistake, these are grisly crimes, sure, but they're also familiar, especially for readers of crime novelist Catherine Tramell. You guessed it: For September, the gang taking an ice pick to Paul Verhoeven's 1992 erotic thriller Basic Instinct as part of this season's ensuing Randy's Recs series. Together, they discuss the smutty film's curious parallels to Wes Craven's meta franchise, the myriad controversies that surrounded the 1992 thriller, the behind-the-scenes chaos that would go on to fuel the film, the sexual fluidity (or lack thereof) of Michael Douglas, and the blockbuster sex appeal of Sharon Stone.
