Movies – 40 Going On 14

Tricks, Treats and Halloween curses!

By thejavakat | October 31, 2022

It’s Halloween again and we’re watching…two movies with the same title. Well, we can’t find remakes all the time. We’re watching the 1986 “Trick or Treat” and 2007’s “Trick or Treat” anthology of terrors that includes Pumkinhead Sam, that little burlap headed nightmare. It’s a convoluted mess of a heavy-metal curses, werewolf packs, zombie curses and more!

When A Stranger Calls: 1979 vs 2006

“Have you checked the children?” Just the phrase makes your eye twitch a little. In the days before Creepypasta, there were urban legends passed down by word of mouth. The guys at ’40 Going On 14′ remember the one this movie is based on, and it’s a doozy. However, what nobody told us is that Charles Durning was going to be our hero. Or that 75% of the film adaptation would be the journey of a man in search of Colleen Dewhurst. Who knew? In 2006 they remade this little terrifying tale. Did they crank up the crank calling chaos or did they get a dial tone? Why is Roy from the office not more helpful? Why didn’t Agent Coulson just call on S.H.I.E.L.D.? You’ll have to face your fears and find out in this final fantastic free for all known as OctoBoo!

Dahmer 2002 vs 2022 Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

It’s week two of OctoBoo and we’re bringing in the big guns! For this new installment, we’re discussing one of the most notorious serial killers in history, Jeffery Dahmer.

In 2002, Jeremy Renner, cooked up a rather delicious performance in his direct to video junk food film simply called ‘Dahmer’. In 2022, Ryan Murphy created a 10 episode smörgåsbord of a show with Evan Peters taking on the culinary curiosities of Jeffery Dahmer in ‘Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story‘ on Netflix.

While not a monster in the traditional sense, these true tales of terror are heinous and horrific. Turn out the lights and load up on the snacks, as we’re going to satisfy all of your podcast cravings as we scare up another OctoBoo episode.

OctoBoo is upon us! In this first week of the most wonderful time of the year, we’re enjoying a little ‘Hocus Pocus’. The Sanderson Sisters have cast a spell over the hearts and minds of millions. Played by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy, they’re gleefully evil but a tad bit ignorant.

After years of waiting, Disney finally made a sequel to this Halloween classic. Mike, Pat, Joel and Josh are hopping on their respective brooms and heading into the night to discuss if it was worth the wait.

Is there still magic in that old vacuum cleaner? Will Billy be back? Why Walgreens and no CVS? This OctoBoo is off to a scary start with these witchy women. Toss all that in, along with questions like “Who remembers “Weak” by SWV? _{(I’ve watched the vid, and still have no recollection of this – Mike)} Does “Tanga” by Prudencio Mario Bauzá Cárdenas make you want to dance? (Yes.) and what the heck was “Weinerville”?

Time to put your hair in a pompadour, get that curl in your lip, get into your best sequined jumpsuit and get your hips movin’ because today we watch #Elvis! These two films couldn’t be more different and we’ll tell you why. Not too mention revealing our favorite hits of the King. From the 1979 made for TV Elvis!, directed by John Carpenter and starring Kurt Russell as the titular King of Rock & Roll, to the 2022 Baz Luhrman Austin Butler version told through the eyes of Colonel Tom Parker (played by Tom Hanks). So we got more Elvis than we know what to do with this week! Are you ready for some fantastic music and killer hair? The ’40 Going On 14′ boys are ready to rock, even though Elvis has left the building.

Pair that up with some listener email, discussion on where all of our listeners are from #InternationalPodcastDay and of course SUPERTRAIN and you’ve got a hunka-hunka burning pod!

Teen Revenge 2 – Cruel Intentions vs Do Revenge!

By thejavakat | September 23, 2022

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Revenge is a dish best served cold or with a side of mushrooms. Listener Nikki suggested we talk about the 1999 teen classic, ‘Cruel Intentions’ and compare it to the brand new release from Netflix, ‘Do Revenge’. We’re coming out from hiding under the table, as the spiders are finally going away, to discuss these rich kid revenge stories. We couldn’t say no when we realized that Sarah Michelle Gellar couldn’t say no and was in both projects. Somebody is going to pay for the things we say in this show. Let’s just hope that we don’t end up the same way as Sebastian and try and stop a speeding car with our face.

Join us this week as we meander through the past, finding out about Joel’s love of #BronskiBeat old #Nickelodeon GaS, the Pet Shop Boys with Dusty Springfield and of course Haile Gebrselassie. We add another #Revenge movie show, to go on the wall with our #Heathers vs #MeanGirls show!

I’m a real boy! Not yet. Before you can reach your goal, you first have to watch the original 1940 ‘#Pinocchio’ and the Tom Hanks re-telling from 2022. Only after this can you achieve your real-boyness. At least that’s what the blue fairy told us. However, we think she may be just be wanting to sell us an extended car warranty.

early cricket — The “gross” Jiminy Cricket

Light up your cigars and grab a monster glass of beer, as we’re going full donkey on this episode. To be honest, this may be our best episode ever, about the greatest films ever made! (He means Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night!) Wait, what do you mean that my nose is growing?
