Blood And Black Rum Podcast - A Cult Film / Horror Podcast

Of course we're going to cover one of the biggest film events in the last decade! We've done almost all of the others, and it's finally here: the great arc 1 finale. While both of us agree that Avengers: Endgame doesn't hit the vast highs of Infinity War before it, the entertainment value in this 3 hour stuffed film is quite epic. We talk about what could have been cut, what works and what doesn't within the character elements, that weird female team-up forced in, and Captain Marvel's relative absence. Along with all the other spoilers that we won't mention here. Approximate timeline 0:00-end ALL FILM TALK!

Going in with few expectations and no viewings of the spoilerific trailer, we found Pet Sematary to be an okay film that doesn't match the spookiness and cheese of the original. It's also not that offensive, which mostly translates to: it really has nothing new to say despite some of its plot flips and a changed finale. We found the acting to be fair besides John Lithgow, the scares occasionally effective, and the overall theme very muddled. We also get a Maine staple beer on our show that's also featured in the movie: Allagash White!

Shazam! isn't an intensely popular DC franchise, so it was  surprising to see it getting a fairly early release in the DCEU. But  most of DC's bigger franchises have already been busts, with Batman and  Superman getting poor reception and the Justice League going down in  flames. So why not let Shazam out of the bag? We were pleasantly  surprised with how well this movie captures the fun, fairly lighthearted  spirit of the character, and we talk about Zachary Levi's portrayal,  the juxtaposition between emo kid Billy Batson and his superhero  alter-ego, Mark Strong wearing sunglasses everywhere he goes, and more!  Spoilers: both of us were quite taken with this one.

We hope you enjoy this special Unsolved Mysteries episode wherein we take a look at the 1986 anti-slasher April Fool's Day. Neither of us had seen this before, so you get a fresh take on the film's final twist. We also talk about the cartoonish score, the various archetypes in the film, how the twist works throughout when the audience doesn't know it's coming, and more. We're also celebrating opening day of baseball with some Cooperstown Brewing beers.

Hey, you know what? There's a female superhero in Captain Marvel and  it totally didn't ruin our viewing experience. Brie Larson's newest  addition to the MCU is a pretty enjoyable film, there's no getting  around that; but it does feature some of the same flaws that have  cropped up in just about every new Marvel origin story. We talk about  the generic plotting, the '90s setting, Samuel L. Jackson giving a cat  some pets, Jude Law being Jude Law, and more! And if you're one of those  people that decided to post a bad Rotten Tomatoes review before you saw  the film, shame on you - and email us at bloodandblackrumpodcast@gmail.com to tell us why you so angry.

You know, we do this every year. We know St. Patrick's Day is coming up, so we get excited to celebrate and we do a Leprechaun film and then we get disappointed that it's terrible. It's a cyclical thing, and Leprechaun 4: In Space is no different, not that we had high expectations anyway. This film is downright atrocious and a surprise considering Brian Trenchard-Smith directs this follow-up to his film set in Las Vegas. This time nothing makes sense, Leprechaun's limericks have been eliminated, and there's very little resemblance to an actual Leprechaun movie. But Warwick Davis apparently needed that money!

We know that Happy Death Day 2U is already out and in theaters, but what's the point in seeing the sequel if you haven't covered the first one? That's why we're talking about 2017's Happy Death Day, a happy surprise from Blumhouse that adopts Groundhog's Day into a slasher film that emphasizes both wit and horror. While there are some differing opinions from our podcasters in this episode, both of them did enjoy the movie for the most part and talk about Jessica Rothe's bitchy character, the humor, the PG-13 kills, and a lot more.

It took us a long time to be able to do this episode, since Suspiria never got released to theaters near us, but we've finally watched all 150 minutes of this epic from Luca Guadagnino. Both of us enjoyed it for what it is, and on the show we talk about similarities and differences between this and Argento's classic, some of the flaws of trying to stuff historical context into an already crammed plot, and the occasional foray into Guadagnino's bloated ideas. But we're also big fans of some of the creepy horror and discomfort of the film, and we get to that as well.

We said we were doing a spaghetti western, but we didn't say it would be an Israel spaghetti western! We're tackling the fairly obscure Lee Van Cleef vehicle God's Gun, released in 1976 at the end of the spaghetti western craze. We're talking Van Cleef's ridiculous hair, the genericness of this revenge film, the tonedeaf premise of the whole thing, Jack Palance's perverted grandpa facial expressions, and more!

We're finally back and so is the DC Extended Universe with Aquaman! James Wan's long-awaited entry in the superhero series sees Jason Momoa and Amber Heard fighting against a bleach-blonde Patrick Wilson for the rule of Atlantis. We talk about the CGI (so much CGI!), Amber Heard's red hair (yes please), Momoa's stilted acting, the unnecessary inclusion of Black Manta, and a lot more in this overstuffed episode matching Aquaman's overstuffed plot.

Our last (?) episode of this year's Festivus series tackles what is perhaps the most Christmas-y film of all: Lethal Weapon! I'm just kidding about that, but on this episode we truly ponder what makes Die Hard so much more popular than Lethal Weapon as a Christmas action film. Also, we talk about Danny Glover being not that old in this film despite his famous line, the amazing Mel Gibson mullet, fire hydrant water brawls, and more.

Festivus rolls on with a look at the sequel to one of the best Christmas classics, The Santa Clause. Here, many years later, Tim Allen tries to rekindle the magic of his Scott Calvin/Santa Claus character by giving him yet another clause in the contract - he needs to find a wife by Christmas day, 8 years after he becomes Santa? We talk about the logistics of the entire film's logic, Bernard being a chump, the plastic Santa sucking, and Elizabeth Mitchell looking hot!

Continuing our 2018 Christmas celebration, we tackle the somewhat deep cut Silent Night, Deadly Night 4: Initiation. This Brian Yuzna-directed film really has no bearing on the previous SNDN films, and it lacks a lot of Christmas cheer too. What it does have, though, are bugs, Clint Howard, and more bugs. It's a weird film, but we cover the hilarity of spontaneous combustion, talk about the film's Bond girl, and discuss the "war on Christmas." Hopefully it doesn't make your skin crawl.

We're starting the Christmas season just a little bit early this year to get in all the films we want to do for the Festivus Series part 2. The first up on our list: Jingle All the Way, the Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle that espouses the great holiday theme that you can save your marriage and be a great parent as long as you get your kid the Christmas gift they are begging for. We talk about Arnold and Sinbad's crimes in this film, the dated '90s references, Santa with nunchaku, and more!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone (well, American listeners)! After our hiatus post-Halloween, we decided we'd celebrate Turkey Day with an overlooked holiday film from John Hughes - Dutch. The movie stars Ed O'Neill and Ethan Embry as two unlikely travelers trying to get home for Thanksgiving, and we somewhat unfavorably say that this is a combination of Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Home Alone. We're also talking Genesee Brewing Company's new Dark Session Lager, the Schwarzbier style.

This is the final Season of Halloween episode, and maybe the last Halloween episode we do (except for Halloween 6 Producer's Cut)! We're talking Halloween 2018, the newest requel that has pretty much everyone in a fervor right now. But what did we think about it? You'll have to listen to find out. We talk about Karen and Allyson Strode, we talk about The Shape's new mask, the score from Carpenter, Carpenter, and Davies, and one thing that really bugs us: how did Michael do so much leg work in the prison? Happy Halloween, everyone. We MAY be back before Halloween is over for one more special episode.

Never would have thought that Halloween: Resurrection would be more well-liked than some of the other sequels, but here we are. We're at the end of the 8-film series of Halloween films and this Busta Rhymes-sporting, Tyra Banks-dancing, Laurie Strode-killing machination has significantly moved up our best-of lists. We talk about all of this and then give a final ranking of the 8 films, and - spoiler - the rank has significantly changed from our expectations before we began this series. Hope you're having a great time with the new Halloween - we'll be seeing it and getting our episode up as soon as possible.

Sorry for the late post, guys! We had a bachelor party which made it hard to get this episode done in time. However, we do have the latest Season of Halloween here for your listening pleasure, and we're talking all things Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers. Specially, we are talking the theatrical cut, and we're loving Paul Rudd, some better kills, and the very low Loony Loomis rating as Loomis goes into retirement. Things we don't love include the Home Alone 2-style electrocution, the hard rock score, and a whole lot more.

Whoa now. We though Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers was bad, but Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers is just as bad or maybe a bit worse. We're talking about the upgraded Michael mask, Tina's french maid outfit, Jamie deciding she's not speaking and the retcon of her murdering her mother, Mikey and his Camaro, and a whole lot more. Plus, the Loony Loomis rating is off the charts. We're drinking a torp of Moustache Brewing Company's Late in the Evening English bitter.

We're back with Season of Halloween episode 4! And right on schedule, we're tackling Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. We recognize that this film is really not that good, and it actually caught Ryne by surprise. We talk about the horrible mask, the annoying protagonists Jamie and Rachel, the great rack on Kelly, the nearly off-the-charts Loony Loomis, and a whole lot more. We're also drinking Brown's Brewing and Rare Form Brewing's collaboration Priam, the King of Troy Blonde Ale.
