Hjalmar Poelzig thought he had it all: the career, the house, the wife. Then, a face from the past came through his door: Vitus, a widowed psychiatrist who thought he'd lost his last chance at love. With a visit from the boss right around the corner, Hjalmar can't afford any mishaps, but Vitus, a pair of amorous newlyweds, and a meddlesome cat have other plans! Join the BOP Crew this Valentine's Day as they deliver a commentary track for the outrageous pre-code  romance, Universal's The Black Cat. Set in a backdrop of war and intrigue, featuring the first pairing of the Hanks and Ryan of the 30's, Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff, this hour-long goth rollercoaster is jam-packed with everything you could want from old Hollywood. Listen to the BOPolytes dig deep into the expressionist set design, the career-highlight performances from two horror heavies, the whitest man alive, all before falling victim to the sex appeal of a shirtless, satanic Karloff.

Ring. Ring. What’s your favorite scary movie? If the answer isn’t an entry in the SCREAM franchise, then we don’t want you to live anyway! It’s been years since the last entry and we have since lost the legendary Wes Craven, but the incredible talents known as RADIO SILENCE concocted a legacy requel/sequel/satire that not only honored the maestro, but carried on his and Kevin Williamson’s influence. Mike and Cody stab their way through the newest tale of Woodsboro’s infamous Ghostface killa, SCREAM (5)! Hide your red right hand and download now!

Face front and queue up your Bully Maguire memes, true subscribers! In an uncertain world, one of life's few guarantees is a new Spider-Man movie, and it's getting increasingly hard to separate that character from the vast legacy behind him. Thankfully, pop culture's recent obsession with the multiverse (of madness!) has given Peter Parker another opportunity to confront his greatest nemesis: Peter Parker! And also the Green Goblin. Marvel's Spider-Man: No Way Home bites off more than any film should be able to chew, with Spidey facing the fallout of Mysterio's final dick move, a perilous team-up with Doctor Strange, a gauntlet against the dimension-hopping Sinister Six-Minus-One, and a serious case of space envy from his peers. And the Green Goblin's there. How can a movie stand as a sequel to ELEVEN films, across multiple generations, and still carve out its own unique place in the mythology? Because anything is possible in a universe that contains Willem Dafoe. Did you know The Green Goblin is in this movi

2021 was dead, to begin with. Dead as a doornail. And to lay it to rest, we've embarked on a most joyous recording: a commentary track for the beloved The Muppet Christmas Carol, cherished by many a soul as the best adaptation since Charles Dickens first put quill to parchment. Our brothers in felt's first outing after the death of Jim Henson, this holiday classic boasts career-highlight performances from Michael Caine, Steve Whitmire, and Rizzo The Rat as Himself. But did it hold a candle to the Scrooge chronicles before and after? And would the BOP Crew be able to reflect on childhood nostalgia, Muppet politics, and the  evergreen social relevance of the story before the brisk runtime was at an end? If you can step over the beer bottles Cody is dragging behind him, sit an evening with us and we'll tell you the tale! Download the commentary here and decrease the surplus population!

The magic of the cinema experience!

Cheers from beyond the grave, folks! William S. Castle, Jr. here, warning you of the latest advancement in spook technology destined to turn the podCastle world upside-down! You may THINK you've seen the 2001 remake of my beloved Thir13en Ghosts, but you can't call yourself a cinephile until you've experienced it in COMMENT-O-SCOPE. Do you dare listen to this BOP n' A Tragedy commentary track, as your thr3e hosts explore their love/hate/love relationship with Scott Beck's disorienting cult classic? Some say this haunted house ride of a film paved the road that Dark Castle and others would follow for a decade, but can YOU walk the same path, dodging knife-wielding beauties, plus-sized babies, and spasming Matthew Lillards? The faint of heart need not worry, though, if the secrets of the Black Zodiac are too much for you, just press the "PANIC" button on your seat, and you'll be escorted to our NPR Corner, where you can listen to harmless shows more befitting a... well, I'M not going to say it!

Death has come to our little podcast. We can either ignore it, confront it, or choose our own version to stare down as we shout SIX TIMES! at it. For this episode, we discuss the night HE came home... or is it the night HE continued being home? Or, wait, was it the night HE came home ten years later? Twenty years later? FORTY years later? Resurrected? Out to return? For revenge? Quite frankly, we're not sure what’s going on with serial slasher and mechanic coverall enthusiast Michael Myers of the famed HALLOWEEN franchise, but we're putting our best tan trench coats on and figuring it out, tackling the many differing timelines of the horror series and what’s unique and occasionally broken about each! You don't know what death is/was/could be but download the episode and find out!

As one of the most divisive sequels in the franchise slashes cinema and streaming screens everywhere, we tackle heady spoiler territory, the deeper themes at play, what it adds to Michael and the ramifications thereof, plus why the discourse might be so controversial.

It's time to scream the lyrics to Hotel California incoherently at some Razor Fisted assassins, because the BOP Crew is harnessing the power of magical microphones found in a cave thousands of years ago in order to gush about Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings! The kung-fu/superhero/fantasy we didn't know we always wanted. Simu Liu, Tony Leung, and Still Going By Awkwafina round out Marvel Studio's best cast in years, but are they given the screen time they deserve, or  is this a roster of Koraths and Malakeths? And is there anything at all to Death Dealer besides the cool mask? What's pulled from the 70s comics and what's been left on the problematic curb?

You've been a bad listener. Don't ask why, you know what you did! And now... it's time to record the cancer. Join Mike and Jamie as they explore the basement of their local seaside gothic castle/child hospital to uncover the spoiler-y secrets of James Wan's stream-today sleeper, MALIGNANT. With less of a marketing push behind it than the first Wan-less Conjuring, you might think this giallo-tinged throwback to 90's horror might be dead on arrival, but like an electricity-eating monster baby, it won't be so easily disposed of. This one's already becoming a favorite in the BOP household, so check it out while you still can, or risk the gilded blade of Gabriel! HEAR WHAT THE CANCER HAS BECOME BY DOWNLOADING!

Are you ready to travel unto the woods, back to a bitter American winter in 1843, and have a meal with fundamentalist Christians? Yeah, we wouldn’t be excited either, but what we are excited about is getting an early look at THE LAST THING MARY SAW, a current festival buzzer and premiering on Shudder in 2022. Mike and Jamie sit down for a spoiler free gab-fest on the esoteric horror film from filmmaker Edoardo Vitaletti, the strengths of its mood and atmosphere, fables of otherness and oppression, growing pains of first time filmmakers, and how we all forget how good an actor Rory Culkin is. Find out if you should be interested in the last thing this chick saw by listening now!

Kinnison The Zombie. Cody Alft. Trident Man. Box Office Pulp Guy. Mike Napier. Click-Ar. Jamie Marshall. And Weasel. Together, these desperate criminals will be united by one mission: Discuss the four-color carnage of The Suicide Squad, James Gunn's most ambitious (and bloodiest) feature yet. And not all of them will be coming home! Between the dark humor, and darker political commentary, "The" couldn't be farther from its peers or the infamous original, but does this sequel/reboot/apology have what it takes to stand beside the best of the genre? Do z-listers like Bloodsport and Ratcatcher have a shot at being the next Harley Quinn? Does Viola Davis get paid by the swear? And just what is the terrible secret of Peter Capaldi's pet starfish?

Childhood friends Mike and Cody, along with the girl next door Jamie, had the perfect summer job: Hosting the local radio station's movie analysis show. That was, until they met a trilogy whose secrets would not be so easily uncovered: R.L. Stine's Fear Street! Inspired by the proto-Goosebumps all the cool kids were reading, director Leigh Janiak's multi-era, genre-spanning horror epic is a haunted house of twists, turns, and questionable character choices. Will they survive the experience long enough to tell tale of its grisly kills, shockingly sincere love story, and unique take on slasher conventions? Or will they be banished to watch Haunting Hour reruns until Christmas break? LISTENER, PROTECT YOUR EARS. YOU'RE IN FOR A FEAR!

One once died by gunfire, the other by water, but whoever wins, we lose, because this episode's title match is Godzilla vs. Kong: Place your bets!
