So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 28 - Edward Scissorhands/Innerspace

This week's double feature includes two older movies with nothing much in common besides the fact that one of us had never seen either of them before: Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands (1990) and Joe Dante's Innerspace (1987)!!! We basically watch both flicks and start imagining what it would be like to have gigantic scissors for hands OR what we'd do if we were dying of a gunshot wound at the same time that we had our miniaturized friend in a syringe at a shopping mall. You know, regular day to day stuff. We also discuss Johnny Depp's performance, Winona Ryder's hair, early Tim Burton, Meg Ryan's face, musical theater mishaps and more. This podcast is rated PG!

So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 27 - Heathers

Strap yourselves in, keep hands and legs inside the vehicle at all times, kids... Cause things are about to get VERY.  Christian Slater! Winona Ryder! Shannen Doherty! KRISSY'S MOM!! Yes, along with Very Special Guest Cathy MacQueen, Krissy & Justin view 'Heathers,' and subsequently discuss the movie's light & dark sides, symbolism, Slater's Jack-Nicholson-esque qualities, and... scampi. Plus something about Bette Davis, stroke victims, $4M worth of water and the merits of strip croquet. This podcast is rated PG-13... And AWESOME.

So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 26 - Paranormal Activity 1 and 2

It's a PARANORMAL double feature on the podcast for the last week of (Scary Movie) October! (insert spooky music) LOUD NOISES!!!! For episode 26, we dissect last year's super-successful Paranormal Activity and the just released Paranormal Activity 2. What did Krissy think of the two after seeing both for the very first time this week? Did adding a baby, a fearful Mexican housekeeper and a dog to the mix mean that more stuff actually, you know, happens in the sequel? What could the third entry in the Paranormal series possibly bring? Be careful because spoilers may jump out of nowhere! This podcast is rated PG-13!

So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 25 - Candyman/Child's Play

Scary movie double feature time - yet again! This week, we take on the Chicago-based twosome of Candyman (1992) and Child's Play (1988)!! First time up, what scared Krissy more? A tall creepy black man with a bloody hook or a foul-mouthed kid's doll? OR...BOTH? The spirited discussion that followed includes the danger of talking to mirrors, BEES!!!!, Candyman's booming voice and sexy wordplay, choosing a frightening thesis in grad school, Virginia Madsen aflame, what toys we'd personally import our spirits into, little people in masks, terrible terrible cops, voodoo dolls, how to really destroy dolls and "is that the end" endings!!! This podcast is rated PG-13!

So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 24 - A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984 and 2010)

It's a Freddy Krueger double feature! Yep...continuing our scary movie theme for October, Krissy is forced for the very first time to watch A Nightmare On Elm Street the 1984 original and A Nightmare On Elm Street the 2010 reboot. Which one passed, which one failed the horror grade and why? The discussion includes how frightening both movies actually are (or aren't), the merits of Freddy synth and Freddy fog, the Freddys and Nancys of both films, Johnny Depp's staying awake skills, random Dr. Oz tidbits, the most memorable death scenes, funny background posters and MORE. One, two, Freddy's coming for you. Three, four, this podcast is rated PG-13!

So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 23 - Jaws

JAWS has finally been seen!!! (sirens!!!) How did Krissy go almost twenty-something years without seeing the 1975 Steven Spielberg classic? And why?!?!? Well at least she finally bit the GREAT WHITE SHARK bullet. The discussion that ensues includes talk about the movie's effect on ocean-swimming, Krissy's favorite Roy Scneider performance before JAWS, our 2 favorite scenes, the allure of Shark Week, the real villain of JAWS, punching sharks in the face, Quint's classic intro, Richard Dreyfuss's IMDB page perusal, the shark helicopter photo and MORE! Don't worry, grandmothers out there. This podcast episode is rated PG!

So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 22 - Savannah Smiles

How obscure can we really go? How about a 1982 kids film about a precocious little rich girl who's inadvertently kidnapped by a pair of bumbling convicts? Savannah Smiles, anyone? No? The movie's up on You Tube for your viewing...pleasure? For this episode, we even have a very special guest who just so happens to be a blood relative...Justin's mom. So his movie obsession can be partly attributed to her. We all three discuss the reason why this peculiar film was chosen, our varying love for Alvie and Boots, runaway kids in the movie and in real life, throwing melons at convenience store owners, Bridgette Andersen's performance and sad death, lots of love for Pat Morita and Peter Graves, the rousing soundtrack and more. This podcast is rated PG! Keepin' it clean, folks.

So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 21 - Devil/The Last Exorcism

It's a HELL of a good time this week as J&K schlep an hour-and a-half away to the Vineland Drive-In south of L.A. for a scary movie double feature: DEVIL and THE LAST EXORCISM! (And we use the term "scary" loosely.) You wanna know what's really scary? JELLY-COVERED TOAST FALLING JELLY SIDE DOWN. El Diablo is near!! And then there's the whole Exorcism movie... Time to git us some religion! Not to be confused with the original kid exorcism flick starring Linda Blair, or the later one with Emily Rose, this is a mockumentary that is actually surprisingly okay...until its final five WTF-filled minutes. Get out the crucifix and the holy water! This podcast is rated PG-13!

So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 20 - Poltergeist

For episode 20, we go totally freaky deaky and Krissy watches POLTERGEIST (1982) for the very first time. How did she manage to miss this horror classic for 27 years? Especially since she lived 10 minutes away from the actual haunted house in the movie! Oh well. That's why this podcast exists. We discuss the infamous Poltergeist Curse and the mysterious deaths associated with it, pot-smoking parents, burial ground real estate, scary clowns, kid-eating trees, swimming pool skeletons, the original Ghost Whisperer Zelda Rubinstein, face-melting scenes, CPR with dental dams (??) and Strawberry Jelly (or Jam) Limbo Land. This podcast is rated PG-13! Keep the movie suggestions coming and thanks for listening!

So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 19 - Point Break

After a sea of comedies (romantic and otherwise), the podcast sets its sights on a HEART-POUNDING, ADRENALINE-PUMPING ACTION flick! No, not Die Hard. Or even Lethal Weapon -- neither of which Krissy has seen, naturally. No, we aimed higher... All the way up to the Keanu Reeves echelon of Greatness. And then we found it; the holy grail -- not Speed or The Matrix, but 1991's high-blood-pressure-inducing POINT BREAK!! (RIP Patrick Swayze.) The HEART-THROTTLING, spoiler-filled discussion includes: Keanu's overall film batting average, Point Break Live!, the art of robbing banks with masks, the logic of skydiving without a parachute, lawnmowing during a raid, K's blind hatred of Scooby Doo, the romance!!! (wait, was there romance in this?), the Point Break/Matrix mirror scene, the size of Bell's Beach, plus the ending of Titanic and James Cameron's nether regions. ...Yep, we hit our unnecessary penis reference quota for the week! For that alone (in some areas of the world), this podcast is rated PG-13. Thanks for listening!
