I'm sure that there are many, but what are some films that spring to mind that you feel deserve either a grand release (Blu-Ray, new special features, etc.) or a more robust release than it has received thus far?

RedHologram

Pod People or Mac n Me, which is the better E.T. ripoff? And would guys do an episode on either movie?

Rebeccalicious

Has there ever been a film where actions by characters have emotionally upset you to the point that it made you hate the film on first watch? I had this with the actions of the family in Killer Joe and the male characters in The Woman but fortunately I now love both of those films.

Denis McElwaine

How despering is it when filmmakers deliberately make a bad movie? Birdemic etc.

Have you guys ever seen a Disney cartoon series from the 2000s called Fillmore? It was a cop show parody about hall moniters who behave like TV detectives. It's as ridiculous as it sounds, but everyone involved managed to make it work. Junkfood Children's Television is a great way to describe it. Unfortunately, the only way to watch it is crappy versions on YouTube.

One of my favorite Rutger Hauer movies is Blind Fury. I watched it recently and it still holds up. However, I think that if it were made today, people on the internet would be complaining about the fact that Zatoichi was turned into a white guy. Do you agree or disagree?

Jose Rivera

What makes a good 80's homage film/TV show? For every good example like Turbo Kid, The Guest and Stranger Things, there's a slew of movies and shows where homage can go totally wrong. What's the line between loving appreciation and slapping on an aesthetic to pander to a certain crowd?

Santos

Out of these three, who is the best 1980s horror movie villain: John Ryder, Jerry Blake, or Jerry Dandridge?

Hannibal Montana

What do you think of Netflix instant streaming's effect on the way we consume modern junkfood cinema?It seems like a ton of lean, mean thrillers and horror movies have found a comfortable niche on Netflix (the Babadook, You're Next, the Guest, Hush). Do you think smaller studios are starting to release these types of movies, knowing they'll make a good chunk of change on digital and do you think Netflix should start producing these types of movies on their own rather than garbage dick Adam Sandler movies?

I love the show so much! I've gotten many a birthday present for my dad because of you all, and rediscovered movies I thought I only vaguely remembered childhood fever dreams. I have two questions: 1 Cargill this might be a boring question but, what is it like working with several other writers to complete a script? 2 I have a disability (cerebral palsy) and I love it when a film incorporates a character with a disability in a more organic way versus a ham-fisted method. what are some junkie movies that you guys feel accomplish this? Some good examples for me are, major Charles Rane in Rolling Thunder, Furiosa in Mad Max Fury Road, the blind man in Don't Breathe. Thanks again guys I've had a lot of fun and I appreciate you all so very much! PS Cargill hurry up and finish that book already! I can't wait to get my grubby hands on :-).
