We're back with our Oscar tradition this year! As we have in the past, we're bringing together a panel of movie experts to discuss this year's Oscar nominees and make their predictions. Join Rafe along with Thomas Mariani, Emily Slade, and Mel Gore as they discuss and debate the big awards showdown between Oppenheimer, Barbie, and a really strong list of nominees, ultimately making their predictions about who will be taking home an Oscar at this coming weekend's festivities. Follow Rafe on Threads and Letterboxd. This year's panel of experts is made up of: Thomas Mariani of the Cinema to the Letter Podcast Emily Slade of the Why This Film? podcast Mel Gore of the Tangent 1985 YouTube channel Follow the show on Twitter and Facebook.

Rafe jumps beyond the screens to talk about last week's lack of episode and a temporary new format for the podcast's release schedule. Then he gives his thoughts on this year's batch of Oscar nominations, as well as spoiler-free mini reviews of Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Banshees of Inisherin, and Tár. Let us know what you think of this year's Oscar-nominated films or your responses to his takes on these movies by contacting us through the links below!

Rafe is joined by last-minute fill-in Thomas Mariani, who has previously discussed films ranging from Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story to Green Room to The Muppets Take Manhattan. This selection is unlike any of those others! Short Term 12 is a solid, rather harrowing drama - a far cry from the genre selections Thomas has brought before. It also may very well be Rafe's favorite movie that he's discovered through his own podcast, and a film that Rafe found a very deep emotional connection to. Listen as Rafe and Thomas discuss the film, Tubi as a streaming platform, and more! Follow Rafe on Twitter and Letterboxd. Thomas Mariani is half of the Double Edged Double Bill podcast.

Adam Thomas returns to the show. What does the returning guest, who previously picked heady sci-fi like Dark City and The Jacket bring to the table this time? Why, a western, of course. Rafe and Adam talk about Adam's hot takes on popular movies, how The Proposition doesn't match up to its own advertising campaign, movies Adam won't watch again, and more.

Getting back into our regular routine means the return of the Friday Inquiry, where we ask a question related to the movie of the week on our social media. This week the question was inspired by Rafe's desire not to watch Se7en again after he originally saw it - we asked: what's a movie you won't watch, not because it's bad, but because it's simply disturbing? We got a slew of answers to talk about, as well as setting up the main episode for this week.  Check out Rafe's other podcast, Never Say Die!, where he teams up with Drew Meyer to look at movies and how we can draw inspiration from them for role-playing game adventures.

This week's movie is the first film picked for the podcast that Rafe swore he would never watch again. But the rules of the podcast are very simple: the guest picks the movie and Rafe has to watch it. Join Rafe with returning guest Joe McDonnell, who picked the dark, gritty, David Fincher-directed Se7en as his next film for discussion. Why didn't Rafe want to watch it? What does this have to do with Joe's previous picks (Batman Returns and Necessary Roughness)? Have a listen and find out! Follow Rafe on Twitter and Letterboxd.

Yes, it's been quite a while since we've done one of these, but we're back. Or at least we're attempting to be. In this Beyond the Screens, Rafe talks about his hope for the return of the show, trying to find balance, and previews this week's new episode: Se7en, a pick that was problematic for reasons he'll get into in the main episode.

We're continuing a tradition we started last year on Have Not Seen This, and bringing together a panel of movie experts to discuss this year's Oscar nominees and make their predictions. Join Rafe along with Thomas Mariani, Emily Slade, and Mel Gore as they discuss and debate Steven Spielberg's West Side Story remake, Don't Look Up, fawn over movies that aren't even nominated in categories, and and make their predictions about who will be taking home an Oscar at this coming weekend's festivities.

This week's movie selection was a bit of a concern for Rafe, who has voiced his issues with comedies in the past. Thankfully, guest Joe Gallant quickly turned him around on this silly, plot-light - and yet perfectly enjoyable - '70s comedy, Smokey and the Bandit. Rafe and Joe talk about the movie, Burt Reynolds as a '70s icon, the decade's infatuation with CB Radios, and more! Let's haul ass! Follow Rafe on Twitter and Letterboxd.

Happy New Year! We're back to kick off the new year with a full episode, discussing The Last Unicorn with Sara Sorrentino. Like many others, we were both traumatized by this movie as a child, but revisiting it as an adult yields a lot of interesting discussion points, such as the film's views on men (not humanity, but men), immortality, and more!  Follow Rafe on Twitter and Letterboxd.

We're closing out our "spooky season" with David Cronenberg's 1986 remake The Fly, courtesy of Drew Meyer who has been on previously to discuss The Thing and The Blob. While it isn't exactly an autumnal horror movie that brings thoughts of Halloween to mind, it's a really interesting character study that Drew loves and Rafe had not seen before. Join them as they discuss the '80s era of film, The Fly, and Rafe's aversion to Geena Davis. Follow Rafe on Twitter and Letterboxd.

Last week we talked the Night of the Living Dead remake and we have another remake coming this week, so it seemed the perfect time to talk about remakes online. Rafe polls Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit to see what people's favorite and least favorite remakes are. Speaking of remakes, Dune came out this week and Rafe offers up his spoiler-free review of the movie.  Check out Rafe's new podcast, Never Say Die!, where he teams up with Drew Meyer to look at movies and how we can draw inspiration from them for role-playing game adventures.

Adam Thomas returns to the show with his pick for this year's "spooky season" and it's a movie that really surprised Rafe: the remake of the horror classic Night of the Living Dead. Rafe and Adam talk about remakes in general, Patricia Tallman and Tony Todd's interesting roles within the remake, the accusations of why George Romero was involved in this remake in the first place, and (oddly) Rafe's age (note: I'm not as old as Adam makes me out to be).

Last week's look at Green Room led us to asking over the weekend about other menacing movie performances. We talk about the ones our community recommended in this backstage episode. Rafe also talks a little about Netflix's Squid Game and then sets up this week's movie discussion about a horror remake.

We're kicking off our "spooky season" a little late, but still starting with quite a bang. Thomas Mariani returns to the show for a fourth time to talk about Green Room, a movie that has the tragic status of being actor Anton Yelchin's final, and yet most promising, film. Put him up against Patrick Stewart as the head of a neo-nazi organization and even standing on opposite sides of a closed door the tension is palatable. Since it isn't a traditional "horror movie," Rafe and Thomas end up talking about their experience and opinions on what makes a movie a "horror movie" in the first place.

Happy October everyone! The spooky season is upon us and it's time to talk about some spooky movies. In this "Beyond the Screens" Rafe gives updates on his various podcast projects and then talks about Disney's Muppets Haunted Mansion, a project that combines two of Rafe's favorite things. How did it end up? Take a listen to find out, and come back on Thursday for our regular movie discussion episode!

Price Ashe returns to the podcast with another comedy in tow, this time one you probably Have Not Seen: 2015's Don Verdean from Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite). Rafe and Price discuss Hess's varied career, hypothesize over Rafe's aversion to comedy films, and go on plenty of tangents, including a tribute to the recently-passed Norm MacDonald.

Rafe has mentioned on several different episodes over the past few months about joining in on several audio drama projects. This week sees the man in charge of one of those projects, an entity known as "Soup," joining the podcast to discuss his selection: Summer of 84. These two men, one who was alive in 1984 and the other who wasn't, talk about Kids on Bikes movies, the relationship between this movie and The Burbs, Dungeons and Dragons, and more!

James Rodrigues returns with yet another movie Rafe was unaware of before it being picked for the podcast: 1999's Ravenous which stars a heck of a cast including Guy Pearce, Robert Carlyle, and Jeffrey Jones. We discuss visiting movies with problematic people involved (Jones), the influence of movie soundtracks, Guy Pearce channeling his best Ethan Hawke, and the fine line between cannibalism and vampirism as part of our conversation surrounding this oddball comedy/horror/western picture you probably Have Not Seen.
