Don’t Read The Latin! Episode 83: Bad But Beloved!
After some minor technical difficulties, we are back, and this time around your hosts Rhias Hall and Jennifer Lovely talk about the movies they know are bad (or at least other people think they are), but love them anyway.
And as a side note, I, Handsome Fiance Jim, think that the Howling werewolves were terrifying with their too-long, weirdly jointed fingers, and that the Brendan Fraser Mummy was the bomb; it totally buckled my swash.

DRtL Episode 37: Folklore and Fairy Tales!
Can you believe it? We’ve done thirty-seven episodes! (“In a row?”)
This time out, we wander off into the woods to talk about horror movies inspired by fairy tales and folklore, or even just movies that have that fairy tale feel to them, and we delve into why horror movies are the direct modern descendant of these ancient tales. Before we get to the subject, though, we wander off the path a bit to talk about the recent loss of pop culture icons David Bowie and Alan Rickman.

It sure seemed like creepy orphans and orphanages were a staple of the horror genre, but we ended up having to kind of stretch our definitions to find enough to talk about ….

DRtL Episode 20: Guilty Pleasures!
First, a word of warning. At one point during this episode, we propose a drinking game — that you drink every time we say something to the effect of, “This is not a good movie.” Do not do this. You will die.
That said — join Michael and Jennifer as we drag our secret stash of schlock out from the back of our video collections into the light. First we define just exactly what it is we mean when we call something a “guilty pleasure,” and then we’re off and running! Expect lots of giggling in this episode.
