Episode Notes

A follow up to EP 104 announcing a horror book project I am writing. Here is how you can be part of it by sharing your memories of films I have selected. I am not looking for reviews, but rather the memories of seeing these films: where, when, who was with you & the impact on you. My list will be on my Twitter timeline.

Email your name and title of film in subject line to: Cynema85@gmail.com

This week's episode compares the concept of the McMansion and why we love it, to certain films we are told we have to love. is there some kind of cynical push into a herd mentality to buy something before we really think about what we're purchasing and consuming?

See McMansion hell at Kate Wagner's site: https://mcmansionhell.com/

I interview Dread Central horror film reviewer and film-lover, Michelle Swope. Michelle gives insight on the genre, where it's heading, "comments" vs. reviews and gets an impromptu therapy session involving Amanda Wyss and a Nightmare on Elm Street!

The notion that celebrities are just like you and "relatable" is deflated as the show examines the cynical practice of exploiting the media for personal gain while pretending not to be. See this video which is more relevant today than when made with its commentary for what passes as "news." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q2EPKKVrqI&t=5s

Episode Notes

Over analysis and over zealous focus on trivial details have created a need to deconstruct movie magic, and create a cynical attitude toward filmmaking and film appreciation. Listen why.

Episode Notes

The recent nostalgia rush for places like Blockbuster video ignore the undercurrents and context of the time. Should Blockbuster be mourned? Before you say "yes," listen to this account that draws the comparison of the early years of film to the early days of fast food. A quasi second part to EP 24 "Consuming Cynema." There were no "good 'ole days." It's a lie we tell ourselves.

Part Two of my limited sub series examining my path into the film industry and avoiding Cynema along the way as I learned more about. This episode features real-life sound bytes from my eighth grade reading teacher who guided me through my first "feature film," a remake of 1967's "Mad Monster Party."

Video link to the actual 8th grade film: https://vimeo.com/316962105

Episode Notes

"Excuse me, but isn't that why we watch monster movies? Just to see big monsters fight?" No. This episode argues the need for solid human stories in these kind of films and the disturbing continuance of "lowest common denominator" filmmaking and the dumbing down of our entertainment.

Godzilla Clip referenced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQTar_kGjZY

Episode Notes

Have 80s monsters changed with the times? Can the old franchises survive beyond their nostalgic demographics? A look at the cynicism that plagued Universal's classic monsters as times changed and now affect the fate of five of our favorite 80s characters.

EPISODE 6: The Tucky Williams Interview Filmmaker and actress, Tucky Williams of "Girl/Girl Scene" gives one hell of an interview that chronicles her fight with Amazon and vitriolic comments that got her film removed from the media giant. You have to hear it to believe it. This interview underscores Cynema. Read my Cynema blog: http://horrorfuel.com/author/harrison/

The much-maligned film was never meant to be part of the "Halloween" franchise. Cynema looks at the cynical marketing of this film that doomed it before it ever got a release. Blog: http://horrorfuel.com/2015/08/18/halloween-iii-second-look/

Expect more of your entertainment. Demand more. Don't look for spoonfed backstories to cover for weak and lazy writing. A look at why there's much ado about nothing in a number of horror films today. Blog: http://horrorfuel.com/2016/06/08/spoon-fed-horror/

Episode Notes

An examination of Tobe Hooper's "Lifeforce" and how it pertains to the unstable concept of matching low budget filmmakers with large studio budgets. The results are less disasters than they are mediocre. Also a look at the Hooper vs. Spielberg "Poltergeist" debate.

Episode Notes

The final installment of my limited series examining whether the horror genre needs Oscar and Academy validation.

Episode Notes

A look at how cynicism plays into the remakes of both Godzilla 1998 and Kong 1976 and does it mean anything for the upcoming Godzilla vs. Kong?

An interview with the filmmakers of "Dangerous To Know," and how they made this indie miracle and capped it off with a successful Kickstarter campaign supported by "Dr. Sleep's" Mike Flanagan. See their trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k90vAQcRqkE&t=62s and if you're an indie filmmaker, listen to this as they lay out how it's done!

Episode Notes

The abuse of due process is clear in the wake of the Brian Laundrie, Gabby Petito case. The bigger picture is a warning for all of us.

Episode Notes

Was the beloved mob series an overrated, cynical, yet well done mob family drama or was it something more? I support my main hypotheses that The Soprano's just might be the greatest TV series of all time, but also the most existential.

EP 7: CRITICAL THINKING I used my own film, my first feature, "The Fields" as an example of when reviewers come at a filmmaker and just plain get shit wrong. It's not about liking or disliking, it's about knowing your stuff. Read my blog piece here to read the actual review in question: http://horrorfuel.com/2017/03/26/critical-thinking-with-film-and-reviews/

Episode Notes

Is recasting an iconic role with a new actor an "error" or artistic expression? What is the difference between genuine filmmaking, narrative errors and just lazy? A look at several cases inspired by some great Twitter conversation on the topic.

Episode Notes

Is there a cynical side to extended universes that really means nothing more than a fancier term for "franchise?" A look at the indifference met with the announcement of a new Star Trek film and why this applies to other major franchises.

Episode Notes

There's a difference between nostalgia, fan service and just plain laziness. Beetlejuice 2 walks that line.

Episode Notes

99% SPOILER FREE! Is there something else going on at the studio level? A pattern seems to be developing in creating studio cuts but knowing there is a better cut still left behind for later release. In the wake of "The Snyder Cut" something is indeed going on...circumstantially. I use "Godzilla vs. Kong" as an example.

A further look into the question of horror needing validation through The Academy and its awards. Get beyond Freddy, Jason and Michael and know your horror history. My views on certain early day films and performers that deserved the golden statue.

Episode Notes

A Twitter thread discussion on James Wan's recent horror offering, Malignant inspired this episode. I watched as a tribal, "you must be on one side of the discussion, and it's our side," conversation play out on the social media platform. A look as to why critical thinking and not blind fandom is imperative in demanding better of not just our entertainment but our lives and society as well.

Episode Notes

Blumhouse has announced three new "Exorcist" sequels. Not remakes, reboots or reimagining--sequels and Twitter got all lit up about it. I was asked my opinion but my reply was not a simple, one size fits all answer. As horror buffs, have a listen, let's hear what you think. Is it all a cynical cash grab? Let's find out.

Episode Notes

If you believe the election was stolen, PIzzagate is real, Congressional child trafficking is real, the Deep State got Trump, this podcast is for you. The problem is...you won't listen to it and there are some very important questions to be asked of you because it's not about changing your minds.

Episode Notes

Martin Scorsese triggered the Marvel-Superhero movie fanboys with another appeal to understand film, art and film history that defines a difference between art, film and "content." A look at Hollywood's real, cynical desire to find its "fountain of youth," "holy grail" and hitting the perfect algorithm for box office success.

Episode Notes

A look at trailer "leaks" and the cynical studio practice of drumming up hype. Spider-Man: No Way Home defines a new wave of marketing while denying it is doing that very thing. It's pure Cynema.

Episode Notes

Collider Abrams Article: https://collider.com/jj-abrams-star-wars-sequel-trilogy-plan-comments/

A hero's journey from Jaws 2, through Halloween, Friday the 13th and the Jaws franchises to how it all ties with "Star Wars" and the recent admission by Abrams that Disney didn't really have a plan for the sequels.

Has CGI and green screening changed the way we view and process our entertainment? The term "dated" gets thrown around a lot but when stripped of context, films are seen from a very distorted view. Read the blog: http://horrorfuel.com/2016/12/24/suspension-disbelief-film-dysmorphia/

Episode Notes

A look as to why horror is personal and how YOU can be part of a new horror project I have starting up.

Also a nice shout out to Bruce Markusen's "Hosted Horror On Television" book.

Are remakes and sequels inherently cynical and why do so many seem to take them personally when announced? More importantly, we look at "The Repackaging" which just might be a new form of Cynema. See my blog on "Ghostbusters 2016" and why this isn't so much of a film as it is a cynical piece of product. http://horrorfuel.com/2017/04/03/ghostbusters-answer-call/

Episode Notes

Online and print horror magazines are not just entertainment. They have been and continue to be valuable resources, educational tools and primers that need the support to stay alive and continuing to educate burgeoning filmmakers. My career is indebted to them past and present.

Episode Notes

Cynema is about demanding better. This episode looks at the recent Netflix deal with a Tik Tok "star" and the resources wasted on Adam Sandler's "Hubie Halloween" and Tom Green's "Freddie Got Fingered." Did they really waste incredible amounts of money to just prove a point?

Episode Notes

We finally got our Ghostbusters 3 and sure enough the Internet is awash in anger. This episode posits that maybe, just maybe this "anger" is nothing more than displaced grief. SPOILERS AHEAD!

Episode Notes

The media continues its push to fuse journalism with entertainment and we are all the collateral damage of this campaign. A look at how the recent Gabby Petito incident underscores a major cynical trend toward dangerous and uninformed ends that further divides us as a society.

"What Do You Got?" That's the question to throw back at those who ask that of you. Financiers, executives even distributors...your time is valuable and people will waste it.
