Our halloween season movie selection moves into the 1990s with the 3rd entry in the Evil Dead series: Army Of Darkness. Leaning more on comedy and action than the previous two entries, it's still fun to see all the different ways Sam Raimi tries to get Bruce Campbell injured -- well, maybe that final action sequence goes on a bit too long. Army Of Darkness (1990) by Sam Raimi.

This week, we kick off the halloween season by watching the cult classic that nearly got buried during its initial release. Midsommar takes obvious influences from this movie, which plays more like a mystery / detective drama, although there is at least one moment that will make your stomach drop. The Wicker Man (1973), directed by Robin Hardy

This week, we watch a huge cast of A-listers dive into peoples dreams. For business purposes. And you can jump between peoples minds. But limbo is always in Leo’s head. Don’t ask questions, just watch the cool action. Inception (2010), directed by Christopher Nolan.

This week, we experience the most intense ride of the year. Nothing will prepare you for what this movie shoves in your face. Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid all deserve award season consideration for their insane and brilliant performances. The Substance (2024), directed by Coralie Fargeat.

This week, we watch one of the three films to ever win the five top oscars in a given year (Picture, Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenplay). The craft in this film is undeniable, but the impact of the film through its popularity is potentially not as great. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975), directed by the Milos Forman.

This week, we’re reposting an episode from a while back due to its continued relevance and prophetic messages. Network (1976), directed by Sidney Lumet.

This week, we watch the 7th film in the Alien franchise (not counting the AvP series) that aims to take it back to the feeling of the original by putting a horror movie director at the helm and by allowing the production to have mostly practical effects. The result is the scariest Alien film since the original. Alien: Romulus (2024), directed by Fede Alvarez.

This week, we watch the highest rated Scorsese movie on the list, as well as arguably the most influential gangster movie of all time. This film could define “good movies about bad people”, which is the acclaimed directors bread and butter. Goodfellas (1990), directed by the Martin Scorsese.
