In this episode Jeff and Cory try to wrap their heads around the many timelines and continuity shifts of the Halloween franchise. The iconic film series that started the slasher horror genre has stopped and restarted quite a few time in its storied 40+ year run. Our hosts try to make sense of it all so you don’t end up lost in the woods trying to figure out what end is up. They’ll try there best to take you through 13 films, 3 main timelines, 3 sets of trilogies, 1 reboot, 1 totally unconnected film, countless white Shatner masks, and 3 separate films all with the same title. This is your guide to the many fractured timelines of Halloween that may be just as scattershot as the franchise itself. Grab your popcorn and lets take a stab into the most iconic horror movie series ever made.

Summer is in full swing, Switches, so you know what that means? No, not sun and sand. Its the season of Summer Blockbusters!

On this episode, Jeff and Cory go head to head with their top ten favorite Summer Blockbuster films. Jeff makes some really solid choices, while Cory has a hard time following the rules.

On this episode we’re taking our TPS reports across the 8th Dimension as Jeff and Cory welcome Actor/Writer/Producers Curtis Andersen (Pearl Harbor) and Rene Bordelon (Fun Sized Horror: Volume One). They discuss their journeys as indie creators on the stage and screen both big and small, as well as what inspires them to be their most creative selves. Then they join Jeff and Cory for a roundtable discussion about their favorite Indie film gems. They all learn a bit about each other while exploring lesser known films that often show us perspectives and worlds the major studio films rarely touch on. It truly was a wonderful chat with these two, and we hope you enjoy it as much as Jeff and Cory had recording it.

06/17/22 • 32 min

Jeff and Cory take some lessons from master film meddler, George Lucas, and apply them to other blockbusters and beloved films. From retconned pothole fixes in Citizen Kane to an abundance of lasers in Top Gun, they’re answering the important question of what would George Lucas do? Will the tinkering be expensive? Sure. Are the changes completely unnecessary? Absolutely. Does constant tweaking of a film help sell special edition box sets? You betcha! Does all of that make the film better? Umm...we’ll let you be the judge.

Switch The Envelope - What Happened To Jeff Goldblum?
play

08/26/21 • 35 min

Best Underrated Actors

Worry not Switches, Mr. Goldblum is fine and well, but like the other actors on our list of Best Underrated Actors, sometimes they meet the editing room floor. This is the case this week as there were so many truly underrated actors to celebrate that we just couldn’t fit them all in! Join us with Jeff, Cory, and even some of your suggestions for professional make believers that are worth more than their weight in the gold that Hollywood just won’t give them...yet!

Editor’s note: The original voice of Shaggy in Scooby Doo was Casey Kasem not Dick Clark. Cory is dumb.

Switch The Envelope - A Fistful of Remakes

A Fistful of Remakes

Switch The Envelope

play

02/24/22 • 31 min

To many movie fans the term ‘Remake” is a four letter word. Nearly every time a movie studio announces a remake is going into production, the world pauses spinning for a moment as the cinephiles collectively roll their eyes. But what if a remake was good? So good that it matches, or dare we say it, surpasses the original, and stakes its own claim amongst the throngs of classics. This episode, Cory tries to sell Jeff on a few examples of remakes that can stand on their own feet. Unconvinced, Jeff then presents Cory with some remakes that should never have been made. The debate may never be settled, but one truth remains: a good film, whether wholly original or a remake, is worth the watch.

Switch The Envelope - Cinnovations: The Dutch Angle
play

08/18/21 • 7 min

There are many tools in a filmmaker’s cinematic arsenal that help them manipulate the emotions of an audience. Most of them are deliberate ploys meant to pull at the emotions of an audience. Every filmmaker conducts their manipulation in tandem with an audience who knows they are being deceived, but it is the filmmaker’s responsibility to cause the audience to suspend their disbelief in the name of entertainment. There is one trick, however, that is more subtle, and its effect more subconscious, and nearly every filmmaker you love has used this technique to manipulate you. Feeling a little uneasy? That’s the result we’re looking for as we take a sideways look at the Dutch Angle Camera Tilt on this episode of Cinnovations!
