S3 EP.27: Wait…you’re the evil one? – Reviewing Halloween movies pt.2

The guys (Kareem, Ken, and Pat) are joined by returning guest and horror aficionado Ray Hom to finish up their review of the scariest, silliest and down right bad horror movies. Tangents include horror propagated by well-off white people, Ultra Magnus and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, kids making cat sounds, and more.

Show Notes

Horror films are something you have to prepare for. Whether it’s gripping the seat or shielding your eyes or ears, or wrapping yourself up in a world full of tension and menace, great horror movies are much more than jump scares. Utilizing the sound of floorboards, the movement of shadows, the unpredictability of mist, horrific or hilarious (or hilariously horrific) deaths, or a tingling film score—this genre is always playing with the audience. The greatest horror films can be heady and philosophical, slapstick or serious—in short, if you’re a fan of horror, most likely you’re a fan of cinema. No other genre best represents how the moving image can affect us—by using every filmmaking tool in the shed.

EP.121 – Catching Bullets With His Teeth – A Review of The State of Martial Arts Films pt.1 Tangential Giants Podcast

This week on Tangential Giants, Kareem, Ken, Patrick, and guest JPG attempt the impossible: giving a straight, disciplined breakdown of the state of martial arts films today. Naturally, it goes off the rails immediately.Kareem and JPG revive their long‑running feud over who the real host of Tangential Giants is, Ken tries to keep the peace like a weary kung‑fu mentor who never asked for this, and Patrick wonders aloud how Superman ever got talked into snapping necks in the first place.From the elegance of classic martial arts choreography to the modern trend of turning every fight scene into a small‑arms convention, the crew eventually lands on Roadhouse and its staggering devotion to gunfire. They try to talk technique and philosophy, but Roadhouse keeps showing up like an uninvited bar brawler.If you like martial arts cinema, chaotic detours, and the kind of debates that only get louder when no one is winning, this episode is your dojo.#tangentialgiants #martialartsmovies #actioncinema #roadhouse #superman #moviepodcast #filmtalk #popculturepodcast #JPGvsKareem
