[Schumacast] 2000 Malibu Road (1992)

Evie joins us as Angie and I learn the hard way what happens when you combine Joel Schumacher with the 90s prime time soap opera world of Aaron Spelling, the star power of Drew Barrymore and Jennifer Beals, a head writer who was escorted from the set of her previous series, and story threads like a Hollywood agent getting a doctor's diagnosis that a voodoo curse has indeed been enacted upon his penis. Check it out here.

[Schumacast] Dying Young (1991)

Angie and I are once again joined by the wonderful Lore to explore a passion project Julia Roberts brought to Joel Schumacher after her sudden rise to A-list celebrity, where actors and a story don't get along, and everything is lost in a maze full of death. Check it out here.

[Schumacast] Flatliners

Angie and I are again joined by the amazing Melissa Kaercher for this epic, multi-part look at the medical thriller which not only exploded Joel Shumacher into the 90s, but marked his first #1 box office hit.
