BP Podcast, Episode 20: “Breaking Down Our Favorite Action Movies”

Ranking the Tales in ‘Trick ‘r Treat’
Every year on Halloween night at the Bloody Popcorn house, after the kids are in bed—full of candy and probably dreaming about Christmas—we watch Trick ‘r Treat. No film captures the season better. Ranking the segments in Trick ‘r Treat is hard as hell. It would be hard even if they were completely separated out… Read More ›

Well, how about something in the weird middle: High Spirits, the 1988 supernatural comedy by Neil Jordan (The Crying Game). The story centers on a soon-to-be repossessed Irish castle-turned-hotel. In a last ditch… Read More ›
Redemption Viewing (Halloween Edition): ‘Satan’s Little Helper’
Third time’s a charm, yeah? About this time 10 years ago, we were young and and free (sans kids) — consuming any and all Halloween-themed movies/TV episodes we could get our hands on — for better or worse. This was when we unearthed Satan’s Little Helper, the 2004 Halloween night romp about an annoying little kid with… Read More ›
Re-visiting Rob Zombie’s Halloween II
Seven years ago, on Halloween night…or, well actually, it was like in August I think, we watched Halloween II, the sequel to Rob Zombie’s divisive Halloween remake. Both Joanna and I hated it. So, of course, we had to watch it again and see if our initial hatred was warranted or if, with the passage… Read More ›
