Switch The Envelope
10/20/21 • 42 min
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.

09/16/21 • 70 min
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).

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.

What Would George Lucas Do?
Switch The Envelope
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.

What Happened To Jeff Goldblum?
Switch The Envelope
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.

A Fistful of Remakes
Switch The Envelope
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.

Cinnovations: The Dutch Angle
Switch The Envelope
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!
