GUEST APPEARANCE Mystery Movie Night: D-War, Last Airbender, Diary of a Wimpy Kid
My friend Michael May invited me onto a show where one host picks three films, then the others have to guess what the hidden connection is between them. In D-War, and ancient battle with dragons reawakens in the modern day. In The Last Airbender, M Night Shyamalan controversially adapts the modern classic cartoon about a war in a world where people can control the elements. In the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series (we specifically covered part 3: Dog Days, but do discuss them all) a kid goes through the comedic struggles of life as an adolescent. Check it out here.

[Masters of Carpentry] In the Mouth of Madness
In which Angie Tusa once again joins us for a look at John Carpenter's 90s swirl of HP Lovecraft and Stephen King, which became a defining work of his for an entire generation of fans despite being yet another hard flop for him at the box office. Our views might be controversial! Check it out here.
