Celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada or Columbus Day in America with episode #766. Even though this continues to be Scary Movie Month, laughs one-up scares in Abbott And Costello Meet Frankenstein. Charles Barton's flick has comedy legends Bud & Lou hamming it up with horror icons Dracula, the Wolfman and…you know who. Bela Lugosi and Lon Chaney Jr. got one more crack at playing their most-famous roles. Several gags in the last 20 minutes are funnier than anything in the first hour, but the whole enterprise is consistently amusing. So try to get your buddy (CHICK!) to finally listen to your worries that Universal monsters are planning to steal your brain as I jam about Abbott And Costello Meet Frankenstein.

Adam Wingard went on to direct a few Godzilla blockbusters, but his You're Next is one of the most-successful, low-budget mumblecore movies. Or, in this case, "mumblegore." Ti West and Joe Swanberg are big parts of the mumble movement too, although Sharni Vinson is the standout in this cast. She's excellent as the final girl who can REALLY fight back in a star-making role that wasn't. She defends her boyfriend's house mostly alone from a home invasion by masked men who use crossbows & axes to whack one family member at a time. There are 3 funny "upend the genre" moments in You're Next. Those beats (and Vinson) are the main reasons to see this. So enjoy a Friday episode as I yip about You're Next.

Punk rockers have to fight back against their drug-peddling, murderous hosts in the second edition in Have You Ever Seen's 11th Annual Scary Movie Month. Green Room isn't going to make you jump in fright or sweat out every pore, but it IS an intense experience as Anton Yelchin, Alia Shawkat and Imogen Poots try to avoid being murdered by Patrick Stewart and his jerky group of neo-Nazis. Arms are left in very bad condition, dogs go for the jugular and the body count is enormous for a fairly contained movie. The violence isn't gratuitous in Jeremy Saulnier's dark thriller, but it IS brutal...and there's much bloodshed. So 1-2-3-4 listen to episode #764. the 10-year-old Green Room.

Well, Actually: Alia Shawkat should be pronounced as it looks: "Shaw-cat," not "Shaw-cot." Also, I've seen Rebel Ridge since recording this episode (which is intense and well-acted like Green Room is...and I recommend it too).
