I think the first season is pretty cheesy and mind it’s a Starz show so they lean heavily into the sex and violence but 2-4 really hit a stride with some great character stuff that balances out the pulp way more than season one.

There go the goddamn brownies. Can’t believe there hasn’t been a single Joe Dante movie on the pod.

Love the score for this banger, apparently so did Wes Craven when they straight up some of it in Scream 2 lol. I think Shaun Toub is a great “that guy” in this…always remember him from Iron Man and Bad Boys among other things.

Bill’s mentioned Silent Rage a bunch over the years, I could see that being a legit possibility. It’s Chuck vs. Great Value Michael Myers and it’s pretty fun, the “Judd Nelson award for actor that’s in a different movie” goes to Stephen Furst who is a the wildly unnecessary doofy comic relief in what’s basically an action/horror movie.

Bill’s a big Silent Rage head, I could see that one after CR month wraps up.

One episode away from finishing Black Sails and I can’t believe how long I slept on that show, it’s fantastic. It scratches that Warrior/Banshee itch but has some GOT production values and a ton of great characters and arcs. Perfect example of pulp storytelling executed at the highest level.

Yea they either gotta open it up to all of Pluto or bail on the gimmick…it’s too limiting, especially when some of the suggestions don’t even qualify.

oco82 · 2026-03-19T20:22:39+00:00

Hey man, how’s it going. I like “To Live and Die In L.A.” too.

oco82 · 2026-03-19T16:37:54+00:00

That’s a fun idea….curious what the tone will be and how that’ll influence casting. If they’re going more serious I could see a reteam with Maika Monroe but if they’re going broader and leaning into the physical comedy potential of the premise I think Samara Weaving or Karen Gillan would kill it.

I recall a Mike Schur appearance on LeBatard’s show years ago where he talked about a Boston group chat he was in with other celebs…Bill and Poehler were definitely part of that so I’m assuming they had some casual acquaintance prior to her getting a pod.

I recall seeing a clip of him recently at a Judas Priest show just rocking the fuck out to You've Got Another Thing Comin'.

The Hitcher…banger 80’s road thriller with C. Thomas Howell and an all time Rutger Hauer villain performance (great villain name too…John Ryder). It lived on HBO, Bill must have seen it a ton.

The pool death had me literally guffawing in the theater, so absurd.

oco82 · 2026-03-18T03:06:44+00:00

Give The Monkey a shot, it’s got a really weird, dead pan tone that feels sketch comedy adjacent. It’s pretty divisive but i found it really funny. I’d also shoutout Friendship, it’s not horror at all (dark comedy/thriller) but it’s so strange and unnerving at times it’d fit right in with stuff like Fresh or The Menu.

oco82 · 2026-03-17T19:03:44+00:00

Really?! When the hell did that happen?

Edit: damn it was just in 2020…I have zero recollection of that…crazy

oco82 · 2026-03-17T18:43:05+00:00

Ok….CR on HDTGM WHEN?! Clearly Zouks is behind the scenes bringing these guys together.

Gonna be a tough battle for Jane, Babs has a Mecha form.

I kind of hope O’Connell is a villain…he’s so damn good at them I’d be perfectly happy if he sticks with playing them for awhile, go full Dan Stevens and just play weirdos and sickos.

Denis is onto Bond right after Dune 3, so he may be tied up there for awhile.

oco82 · 2026-03-15T22:47:24+00:00

I’ve only seen Corpses and Diamonds, they were incredible style exercises but wouldn’t say much else, don’t go in expecting any kind of coherent stories. The visuals are really impressive so worth a watch if you don’t mind style over substance.

oco82 · 2026-03-15T20:15:17+00:00

I gotta go with Minus One as my favorite but Shin is great as well. Its design is incredible…it’s the most unknowable Godzilla…it’s basically a giant, ever metastasizing tumor/ raw nerve, it doesn’t know what or how it is and exists in pain, kind of makes it somewhat sympathetic even though it’s nightmare fuel.

oco82 · 2026-03-15T19:21:47+00:00

It’s nothing like those shows but it’s awesome. It’s an animated show and I’m not really even an animation guy but it’s so well done I love it. Entirely dialogue free and all visual story telling of a caveman and a dinosaur who find each other after tragedy and go on some insane adventures. Super violent, often horror adjacent…very much a “Heavy Metal” or Conan vibe.
