Well-Adjusted HorrorPossession Jag (The Exorcist)There are two kinds of people in the world — those who think that The Exorcist (1973) is the greatest horror movie ever made, and those who refuse to flush the toilet in a public restroom.Levi kicks it off with a look at the generational divide that made this movie such a bombshell upon its release, while Johnathon sheds light on the process of becoming a cranky old man. From there the boys quickly get into the deep water of the movie's theology. What does it mean to depict supernatural evil but no supernatural good? Does the God in...

But then Levi made him watch this.Some terrible movies we forgive because of budget constraints. Some terrible movies we forgive because of the heroic efforts of the cast. Some terrible movies we forgive because the movie is in on the joke. And some we forgive because cocaine is one hell of a drug.Not this one. It's the Christmas season.

Levi admires the stiff upper lip Brits display under duress, while Johnathon finds himself reluctantly admiring the censor board (sort of). Questions asked : What rate of change can a culture endure before the wheels come off? Is there a non-authoritarian way of slowing things down? How many seconds of an eye gouging scene does a movie need? And why is Levi obsessed with the Brits?Bonus follow up discussion of The...

2021-08-1328 minWell-Adjusted HorrorAll Out of Bubble Gum (They Live)We live in an age of conspiracy theories, and the good news is that John Carpenter's They Live has never been more relevant. The boys and a special guest discuss 80s excess, the American obsession with conspiracies, and all things John Carpenter. Johnathon wonders when we all forgot how dumb we are when it comes to science. Levi decries the lack of sophistication in the broad strokes of dystopian fiction. Special guest David reminds the boys there are good reasons not to trust the government. Also, aliens.

Levi comes prepared with the full compendium of problems that the production faced, revealing it to be a miracle that we got any film at all, much less a genre-defining classic. Johnathon shares his 9-year-old's thoughts on the mayor after watching it together for the first time.Finally, Levi reveals a scandalous sexual confession.

Sam Neil plays a demented physicist, so a fair amount of time is spent discussing their man crush. Johnathon wants to know why there are no interior decorators in space.

2021-06-1237 minWell-Adjusted HorrorMissing Justin Long (Drag Me to Hell)This week the boys try a deep dive on Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell (2009) but quickly bang their heads on the shallow end of the pool. An effort to avoid cursing leads to mixed results (and a lot of bleeps). As always, they have questions. Is proportionality required for a movie to qualify as a morality play? Can horror movies use the trope of supernaturalism in other cultures as a source of mystique without being demeaning? Would Justin Long want to be Johnathon and Levi's best friend?

An examination of 1954's Gojira finds the boys exploring some unexpectedly dark ruminations on technology and history — and humanity's tendency to get confused about both. Levi defends Godzilla's place as the most iconic of all movie monsters, while Johnathon wonders if and when we'll ever account for all the losses of the COVID years. Also, don't miss the new theme song in the intro. Long live the banjo.

Levi defends the art of the downer ending in horror films. Johnathon throws some side eye at eco nihilism and fashionable misanthropy. And there's a healthy side tangent on everyone's favorite Carpathian from the Ghost Busters franchise.

Is it the cast? The budget? Does our movie this week qualify? Levi says yes, while Johnathon isn't so sure. Everyone loves a lost colony mystery, which leads to a brief discussion of the Roanoke investigation. Trigger warning: sports metaphors.
2021-03-0642 minWell-Adjusted HorrorFish People Are Stealing Our Jobs! (Dagon)What do you get when you combine xenophobia, an unrelenting atmosphere of dread, and fish people? An HP Lovecraft story, that’s what. This week the boys tackle Johnathon’s favorite Lovecraft adaptation for the screen, 1991’s Dagon. Levi doesn't want to cloud the episode with Lovecraft's personal life, so of course Johnathon brings it up immediately. Also, tentacles.

Forced Proximity: a husband, a wife, a romance novelChristina Lauren’s The Honey Don’t ListOh, how us romance junkies love a punny title. Except maybe this one. It’s just a little too odd. And why is the cover so . . . generic? Why, oh why, didn’t the illustrator go with a stylized home DIY theme? Ugh! Megan would have loved to be in charge of this publication. Megan will read almost any CLo book, especially one that’s . . . forced proximity! This was the 1st time Johnathon liked it better. Let us know what you think! https://instagram.com/forcedproximitypodcast?r=nametagAND (ta daa!) Megan’s book (ee...
2020-09-212h 11Well-Adjusted HorrorThe Thing About Free Will (The Thing)Johnathon and Levi skip right over their collective jealousy of Kurt Russell's beard to mansplain why great practical effects will always beat CGI. Levi provides a precise measurement of the amount of KY Jelly needed to bring a shape-shifting alien parasite to life. Johnathon wonders whether Norwegians are better with explosives in real life. Finally, both of your hosts take a heavy detour into the debate over free will — while consistently stumbling over the world "cellular."

Shockwaves stars Peter Cushing, David Caradine, and a group of stuntmen who got really, really good at holding their breath. Johnathon and Levi talk bathing suits, the lamentable persistence of fascism, and why the Victrola and the banjo are basically the same thing.

2020-08-2835 minWell-Adjusted HorrorThe Carp is a Tasty Fish (The Exorcist III)Is the Exorcist III better than the original? Maybe not, but it's still a terrific sequel with stand out performances by George C. Scott and Brad Dourif. Johnathon and Levi discuss the lost art of monologuing, whether supernatural evil is de facto proof of supernatural good, and one of the best jump scares in the history of cinema.
2020-08-2533 minWell-Adjusted HorrorChildren Are the Future ... Unless They Rip Your Face Off (It's Alive)Larry Cohen's 1974 horror film It's Alive is a forgotten (and surprisingly timeless) classic. Levi and Johnathon discuss the film's place in the canon of monster movies, the moral and ethical implications of birthing a monster, whether the philosophy of antinatalism has a leg to stand on, and why you should never mess with Mama Bear.

Forced Proximity: a husband, a wife, a romance novelAlyssa Cole & Lucy Eden, The Novella BonusSometimes, a wonderful thing happens and Megan’s lack of planning works out. This is one of those times. Okay, not really that big of a deal, but I (Megan) forgot there was a bonus, 5th Monday in the month of June so you kids get extra content. Yay! This week, we’re talking about romance novellas. They’re short. They’re (hopefully) sweet. And we got to squeeze two books into one time slot! Book 1: Alyssa Cole’s Once Ghosted, Twice shyBook 2: Lucy Eden’s Blind Date with a Book Boyfriend

Forced Proximity: a husband, a wife, a romance novelMoviesode: You’ve Got Mail/The Shop Around the CornerThis week, we watched Nora Ephron’s beloved romcom classic, You’ve Got Mail as well as the lesser known (by modern generations) 1940 Ernst Lubitch film, The Shop Around the Corner. Did you recognize that name? Yep! The Shop Around the Corner is the name of Kathleen Kelly’s magical children’s bookstore in You’ve Got Mail. (Nice nod, Nora.) Johnathon was pleasantly surprised by the old movie and if you get the chance to watch it, you’ll find it Cracker Jack full of witty banter and colorful characters (looking at you, Pepi).

Not really, but we have reached a major turning point. Johnathon loved a book! (What's that chord the angels sing? Is it G Major? I feel like its G Major. Regardless, the angels are singing it right now.) Kids, we have entered the RLU (that's Reid Literary Universe). Let's just stop right there and think about this. Penny. Reid's. UNIVERSE. (If you're a big fan of cursing, you can just go ahead and put the MF-ing word right there in front o...

Forced Proximity: a husband, a wife, a romance novelKate Clayborne’s Love Lettering: a romcom of fontsMegan loved it. Johnathon disliked it. More importantly, what do you think? Hey look. Not every book is for everybody. We discuss that here. As well as why it is definitely OKAY not to like something, even when it's as well written and humorous as Love Lettering. This episode is a little long. Megan can't shut up about the cozy-blanket-and-cup-of-tea-on-a-crisp-autumn-day-ness of this book. It channels Nora Ephron's wit, shows New York at its best, and the love between Meg and Reid is lovely (but also gets pretty steamy). Love Lettering...

Forced Proximity: a husband, a wife, a romance novelThe Aftermath: A Movie MinisodeRomance comes in movie form, too. And we’re experimenting with our film format a little. This week we watched The Aftermath (2019), directed by James Kent and starting Keira Knightley, Jason Clarke, and Alexander Skarsgard. It’s a beautiful movie that depicts the likely realities of a marriage after suffering through WWII and the death of their son in the Blitzkrieg bombings. Then, a love triangle forms and complicated things further. Megan & Johnathon both recommend this film for the brilliant acting (so many emotional breakdowns) and it’s portrayal of The Other (as in England vs. Germ...

Watch the movie for the hand flex alone if you haven't seen it. I know, I know. It's not the BBC miniseries staring Colin Firth. Megan's here for that version too, but 6+ hours...

For one thing, the dinner table conversations become a lot . . . hotter.Welcome to the premiere episode of Forced Proximity. We're glad you joined us. Today, we're reviewing The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams. This book has received a ton of buzz since before it was released in November, 2019, and when it finally got into Megan's grubby hands, the angels sang. But what would Johnathon think about his first ever romance novel?
