Ep. 151 — VALENTINE (2001)
10/31/19 • 66 min
“To paraphrase Pauline Kael, the movies are so rarely great art that if we cannot appreciate great trash, there is no reason to go. I'd draw a distinction, however, between the classic horror genre, which has produced masterpieces from NOSFERATUto SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, and the Dead Teenager Movie, which I define as a movie that starts out with a lot of teenagers, and kills them all, except one to populate the sequel.” —Roger Ebert
For the month of October, we're celebrating Halloween the only way we know how: by watching a whole bunch of horror movies! Specifically, this October, we're taking a look at a small piece of horror film history by diving into the post-SCREAM teen horror revival of the late 90s and early 00s!
For our fifth and final week of this series, we're taking a look at the film that may very well have been the nail in the coffin for the genre, 2001's VALENTINE.
How did VALENTINEmake the huge changes from the source material (a novel, published in 1996) to the final film that hit screens? We'll go over all the dirty details on this week's episode!
Thanks for joining us for this Halloween series! We'd love to know what you thought of it! Drop us a line on any of the social media accounts listed below and we'll see you next week for the start of a whole new series for November!

Ep. 152 — DR. STRANGELOVE (1964) with Christopher Phillips
Gary celebrated his birthday in August by programming the entire month of films for the podcast, so it only stands to reason that Justin would get to do the same for his birth month of November. All month long, we'll be showcasing films that he's personally chosen, all films he's wanted to talk about on the show for a long time, but has never had the chance...until now!
For week one, we're starting with a film by Justin's favorite director — and one we've covered on the show in the past — the great Stanley Kubrick. We're joined by special guest Chris Phillips this week to discuss Kubrick's Cold War black comedy DR. STRANGELOVE OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB.
The story behind this film is a fascinating one and we'll talk about how the film went from its original concept as a straight forward thriller about impending nuclear annihilation to its final form as a hilarious and prescient comedy classic.
Does DR. STRANGELOVE deserve to be a part of the Psychotronic Canon? Let us know by voting in this week's poll!
