Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions PodcastTourist Trap (1979)Spooky Season's last stop in September is aptly named, as the pod detours to Tourist Trap! Caught in the tail wave of 70s slashers that don't quite know the formula just yet, this movie is surprisingly scary with some decent acting to boot. Liz and Host Spencer talk all about this one, and try to modernize it in the end by doing a modern requel. (If this happens we want 50% of the credit.)2024-09-271h 13
Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions PodcastFilm Class: A Tribute to Wes CravenThe Master of Horror deserves his own episode, and for this Film Class, Host Spencer discusses the career of the iconic director of almost 40 years.

Steph, Dame, and Theresa are back with host Spencer to play Scattergories, but with a twist. Three rounds, each with a similar style to the original game: contestants are given a letter of the alphabet and 10 categories, and you must give answers that start with that letter. 1 point for each right answer.

Let's all digest this together, and live in the world Deadpool has now created. 2024-08-051h 13Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions PodcastWet Hot American Summer (2001)Summer is (sadly) almost over, and we all know the horrible feeling of the freedom winding down to go back to school or regular life.

This time around we are discussing his FIRST Sci-Fi classic, and boy oh boy is this just that. The sound, the shots, the lights, the performances. One of the greatest alien movies to ever exist, and a movie that might be too good for Max, Liz, & Spencer Go to Summer Camp.2024-07-031h 28Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions PodcastHeavyweights (1995)Max, Liz, & Spencer go to Summer Camp continues with Mac & Spencer actually talking about one of the key movies from last weeks draft: Disney's Heavyweights! Of course, with the 2 of them it goes off on tangents BUT they discuss how great Ben Stiller is, how it's surprisingly not mean spirited and holds up "well", and other random topics that may or may not even make sense. Just like summertime 'round the campfire!2024-06-241h 25Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions PodcastThe Great Movie Genre Draft 2: Spielberg, Nick Cage, and Summer Camp MoviesIt is officially Liz, Max, & Spencer go to Summer Camp on the pod (as we discuss in THIS episode.

Similarly to her mother, our souls died a little while researching this spider movie. Why did this get made, why is the ADR so bad, why is the villain not wearing shoes, and since when do fireworks break human sized holes through brick walls? New friends Stephanie and Damien don't know, and neither do host Spencer and his side kick Theresa. The web that connects the 4 of them is more confusion than a super hero power... which the 4 leads don't even have.2024-03-111h 11Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions PodcastLet's Discuss Movies in the 2000s! Pt 2: 05-09Hey the 2000s was obsessed with franchises and sequels, so why not have a 2 part episode?

Max & Host Spencer get lost in the conversation (I mean, they have a whole episode about that in November), and thus, our first 2 part episode in 2 years is here. 2024-02-241h 13Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions PodcastDirect to Audio's 2024 Valentine's Day Special: A Love Story in FilmIt's Valentine's Day, and we celebrate here on Direct to Audio a little differently.

The plan was to have Max and Spencer talk about Midnight Movie experiences, and that just spiraled into the following: A Hugh Grant/ Jeff Goldblum impression comparison, a discussion of the Greatest American Rock Band, movie theater snack rankings, a discussion of Zack Snyder, and a whole bunch of trying to get back on track.

That also might be because you left this episode playing on your phone. Either way, they discuss Max's first time watching the slasher classic from the minds of Bernard Rose and Clive Barker, and the iconic performances of Tony Todd and Virginia Madsen. They discuss the social and racial commentary it makes (both positively and negatively), get into what the white savior trope means, and discuss all the gruesome details of...2023-09-011h 21Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions PodcastBarbenheimerIt's the event of the year. 2 movies, 5 hours, $1.6 BILLION and climbing in the box office.

The movie is tanking, superhero fatigue is legit, and there's so much going on off set with people involved in this movie that a review is a bit of a strange choice... but you wanna get nuts? C'mon, let's get nuts! Because Michael Keaton is back in the Batsuit, and that means that we had to fire up the Bat Signal to get super-fans Max & Host Spencer to go back to the garage for a reaction & review after seeing it. The Multiverse is now open for DC, and...2023-06-261h 08Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions PodcastThe Direct to Audio Father's Day SpecialIconic movie dads are timeless. Darth Vader, Mufasa, Clark Griswold, Vito Corleone, the list could go on and on. But, sometimes, when talking about movie fathers you have to turn to what you know the best, and that is your own! Host Spencer invited his own dad on the pod to just have a father and son chat about movies. From Rocky Horror Picture Show to John Wayne to random 80s action movies, they discuss it all in a wholesome, albeit goofy, chat about films.

Host Spencer breaks down the cosmic chaos that this group gets into, and discusses the tragedy of Rocket, how Quill saved his character arc, and what might be next for the best group in the MCU (this pod fully endorses that statement). 2023-05-1649 minDirect to Audio: A Movie Discussions PodcastLet's Discuss Our First Time: The Star Wars Original TrilogyA Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far, Far Away Host Spencer saw Star Wars for the first time as a 6 year old boy.

The 3 of them go through discussing the extended editions of this iconic trilogy, and they get into it all: Character breakdowns, differences in the extended & theatrical, a debate on if these could ever be remade, and the trial of Faramir (because yeah, he might not be host Spencer's favorite.)
