G’day mates, Any stories about sleeping in a theatre? My favourite was a stupendous 40 minute knockout in the middle of Rogue One after a cocktail at a cinema in Dana Point, and now after having seen full movie, I’m kinda a fan of my unintentional Nap Cut. Boomshanker, Dave from Kelowna in BC

What mid-tier movie do y’all think deserves a quality remake? I really like The Boys from Brazil—mostly for its final old man fight and young Steve Gutenberg—but a modern-day 70s throwback would be killer. Sean from Charleston

Have you guys seen They Cloned Tyrone yet, in which a character uses the term "regular degular" and are you getting residuals for that? Zach from Ballston Spa NY, but residing in San Diego CA.

Cody Downs

Is there a horror franchise that you wish would retire -- hopefully with grace. Or, something that could have been a horror franchise but did not? Cody San Diego

jribs

Not that you asked me, but because of my age, I will select the Halloween episode of Boy Meets World that parodies Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. The episode is "And Then There Was Shawn" - air date February 27, 1998 (perfect timing for a Halloween spoof guys). Unfortunately, I know the WHM gang missed the BMW boat by a few years, but man did I watch the hell out of Mr. Feeny on the Disney Channel.

Rhonda

Oh yeah that, Simpsons Treehouse of Horror V and Buffy season 2 Halloween episode are my go to’s

Arien

If you were the Arnold in a Junior situation, which of the guys would you want to be your co-parent and why? Arien (Erin) Portland, OR

Matthew Hutton

"White Guy Karate" would also be a hilarious category

K

October is the month dedicated to scary movies. What other genre do you think deserves its own month? Kevin from Seattle

Austin Nealon

Back during the HD-DVD vs. Blu-ray days, which format were you guys siding with and why? Did you also see any cool promos for either format during that time? Austin from South Jersey

Eric Walle

What horror franchise do you think deserves a proper reboot and who do think should be casted in it? Eric from Kansas

Bryan Dougherty

Let’s say from this day forward, you are only allowed to watch the films of three different directors and no one else. What three directors do you choose? Bryan from Brooklyn

Jacob Ethington

I just saw A Haunting in Venice and was shocked by how much I enjoyed it, especially because of how little I cared for the previous two Branagh films about Poroit. What are some sequels you were surprised to enjoy in a series you aren’t a fan of? Jacob from Austin, Texas

Francis

Recently started collecting tv shows on physical media again because I can’t afford to pay for all these streaming services. What TV show would you say you have to have a copy of at all times? Francis from Pittsburgh (but originally from Manila)

With the Spooktacular just around the corner, what horror series could use a modern update?

Beatrix

That’s a great question!

Les Whinen

I've noticed you guys have never done any war movies. I understand that it's a comedy show and you're not going to riff over windtalkers or that James Franco WW1 pilot movie Flyboys, but would you consider doing a WLM on a Full Metal Jacket or Thin Red Line?

Brad Purcell

This question has been phrased a few ways above, but not this way: Nicolas Winding Refn recently expressed interest in rebooting Maniac Cop. If you could pick any auteur to do a reboot, who and what would you pick? Brad from Quincy, Mass

Thomas Friedlander

What's the most pissed off you've been at a restaurant? Thomas from Washington DC (by way of NYC)

Jeremy Garcia

With your society commentary I was wondering the gangs thoughts on other Yuzna pictures. Silent night deadly night 4 with Clint howard is one of my favorite weirdo horror movies ever lol You're the best! Jeremy from Lorain County Ohio

Rob Brown

When it comes to film festival screenings, are there meetings to determine which movies the audience will give a 32-minute standing ovation to, or which ones they’ll collectively all leave halfway through? Whenever I hear about overly dramatic reactions, it makes me think they’re *gasp* more about making it about THEMSELVES. 😮 Rob from Evans City, PA

AllegedBeef

Evans City! Greetings to another member of Romero Country! My wife's family is in Beaver County and we live in Pittsburgh.

Rob Brown

Hi there! I live less than a mile from the NotLD cemetery, and I’m pretty active in the Pittsburgh film and TV scene.

What's one impression you love doing, and one impression from another (or all) in the gang that you love hearing? Chris from LA

Smaug

I'm relistening to the Alien episode right now and Steve maybe answers this question for himself in this ep. He said he can't imagine what it must have been like in the 70s to be in the theatre and see the chestburster coming out of John Hurt's chest for the first time, he says he'd love to go back and be able to see it this way for the first time

Roy Tannar

I love the Halloween Spooktacular alternate theme. What alternate or remixed theme is the best and immediately gets you excited for the movie? Roy from BC Canada
