    The Shame List Picture Show
    Apr 29 2026
    The Shame List Picture Show is a podcast that connects movie-loving filmmakers and close friends Michael Viers and, until early 2023, Nick Richards. The show began with their discussions about their "shame lists"—films they felt they should have seen but hadn’t. Since Nick's departure, Michael has continued the podcast, now featuring guests from all walks of life on each episode to discuss films from their own shame lists. Tune in to hear Michael and his diverse guests explore a wide variety of important and intriguing movies, sharing their unique perspectives and insights along the way.

  • BONUS EPISODE: Cage is the Rage #3

    BONUS EPISODE: Cage is the Rage #3
    Apr 12 2026
    This episode is from the SLPS archive. As a little bonus for our couple of Patreon followers, Michael & Amanda were doing a show called Cage is the Rage, where they try to work through the entire filmography of Nicolas Cage. It was (and still is) a tall order, and life got in the way, and this episode was just sitting on Patreon. We had decided to get back into the swing, and before we do so, we wanted to unearth Cage is the Rage #3. On this episode of Cage is the Rage, we continue Nic Cage's career with a discussion on The Cotton Club (1984) and Birdy (1984). We also decided to get a little contemporary and talk about Renfield (2023).

  • Clueless feat. Millie De Chirico

    Clueless feat. Millie De Chirico
    Mar 30 2026
    Hello and welcome to another episode of The Shame List Picture Show. This week, Michael is joined by the incredible Millie De Chirico. Millie is a renowned film programmer and the former Chief Programmer for TCM Underground on Turner Classic Movies. She also co-hosts the fantastic podcast Dear Movies, I Love You with Casey O’Brien, and co-authored the book TCM Underground: 50 Must-See Films from the World of Classic Cult and Late-Night Cinema with Quatoyiah Murry.

    Millie is a wonderful guest, and together we take a deep dive into Amy Heckerling’s Clueless. We talk about Millie’s experience seeing the film in theaters back in the ’90s, how it holds up today, and what makes it so enduring. Along the way, we explore Cher as a character, her relationship with Josh, and debate which characters truly shine—and which maybe don’t (even if we still love them).

    It’s a lively, thoughtful conversation, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

    You can find more information about Millie De Chirico on her website.

    Hello, and welcome to another exciting episode of the Shame List Picture Show. In this episode, Michael is joined by the wonderful Austin Proctor, who is not only the editor of this fine podcast but also the host of the incredible horror-themed show Frightmares (also on the Someone’s Favorite Productions Network).

    Godzilla Minus One feat. Ryan Verrill
    Feb 28 2026
    Hello and welcome to another episode of the Shame List Picture Show! Today, we’re joined by Ryan Verrill of the Physical Media Advocate, Someone’s Favorite Productions (our network), and most recently Antenna Releasing, to discuss Godzilla Minus One from director Takashi Yamazaki.

  • Star Trek: The Motion Picture feat. Nick Richards

    Star Trek: The Motion Picture feat. Nick Richards
    Feb 16 2026
    Hello and welcome to our first episode of Season 10, which also happens to be our 200th episode. SLPS co-creator Nick Richards joins Michael to discuss Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Star Trek has been a very important franchise throughout the show's history, so it feels only appropriate that they finally tackle this important film off their shame lists.
