KYLIE HEMMERT’S RECOMMEND: The Magnus Archives – Horror Podcast

Click here to listen!

Also available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major podcast apps!

A couple of years ago, a friend of mine recommended The Magnus Archives when I shared I was seeking a horror podcast to listen to. That recommendation was life-changing, especially as a die-hard horror fan, and I quickly fell in love with every aspect of this award-winning weekly horror podcast. From Rusty Quill, The Magnus Archives kicks off with newly appointed head archivist of The Magnus Institute, Jonathan Sims (played by Jonathan Sims, who also writes the podcast) attempting to bring a seemingly neglected collection of supernatural statements up to date by converting them to audio and supplementing them with follow-up work from his small but dedicated team, including Martin Blackwood (portrayed by The Magnus Archives director and producer Alexander J Newall). Individually, the statements are unsettling. Together, they begin to form a picture that is truly horrifying because as they look into the depths of the archives, something starts to look back…

The Magnus Archives is a perfect blend of stand-alone horror as each episode highlights an original story (featuring new and/or recurring characters) that, over time, are revealed to be bound to the overarching storyline as each new statement is often a small glimpse of things far greater and sinister that they are connected to. Besides a very clever creative team in front of and behind the scenes — who are as passionate about storytelling and horror as they are to bringing these characters and world to life, which is greatly appreciated — the podcast hits every note, from its talented performers, its truly scary/creepy tone driven by smart storytelling, and most importantly, the brilliant characterizations of all the key characters that allow the audience to go on many complex and worthwhile journeys with the individuals involved, especially the terrifying experiences they go through along the way, alone or together.

Without ever missing a beat, the podcast also features one of the most unexpectedly subtle slow-burn relationships that quietly and naturally develops throughout each season and comes together in such a satisfying way it left my little queer heart absolutely delighted — even as the characters struggle to navigate a world full of nightmares. I don’t want to say too much more for fear of spoiling, but now is the perfect time to dive into one of the best horror podcasts around as the show prepares for Act 2 of its fifth and final season.

GRANT HERMANNS’ RECOMMEND: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

Click here to purchase!

The year 2010 was a pretty stacked time for outstanding films but arguably one of the best and most rewatchable is Edgar Wright’s adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s graphic novel series Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Centered on the titular slacker musician as he falls in love with the mysterious and cool Ramona Flowers, the story sees Scott face off against her seven evil exes to vie for her heart while also competing in the Toronto Battle of the Bands with his group, the Sex Bob-Ombs, in an effort to win a record deal. With one of the greatest ensemble casts ever assembled, a wonderfully frenetic pace and meticulously directed look of recreating its source material, awesomely-choreographed fights and exhilarating soundtrack, this is an absolute masterpiece from start to finish and one that never loses its value upon revisits.

MAGGIE DELA PAZ’S RECOMMEND: The Karate Kid (1984)

Click here to purchase in 4K UHD!

For film franchises, there is always an ongoing debate on which one of the sequels is the best among the rest. Admittedly, some follow-up films had indeed surpassed their predecessors in terms of quality or story. However, this is not the case for John G. Avildsen’s The Karate Kid which is undoubtedly the superior movie among the other Karate Kid films.

This classic film is one of the must-watch 1980s movies that people of all ages can definitely enjoy. It tells the story of teenager Daniel LaRusso who ends up getting into trouble with karate-trained high school bullies led by Johnny Lawrence after recently moving to Los Angeles. As the bullying gets more out of hand, Daniel gets rescued by Mr. Miyagi, who is his building’s Japanese handyman. He then seeks Mr. Miyagi’s help by learning karate from him in order to resolve his problems against Cobra Kai.

As a massive fan of the 1980s and coming-of-age films, The Karate Kid is absolutely one of my favorites as it delivered a well-told underdog story that will surely resonate with everyone. After over 30 years since its release in 1984, the teen drama film has been withstanding the test of time by becoming a pop culture phenomenon. Because of this, it had effectively introduced the appreciation of martial arts to younger people. What I also love about the original is the mentor and mentee chemistry between Ralph Macchio and the late Pat Morita which had made us all wish of having a sensei like Mr. Miyagi.

Ahead of the upcoming third season premiere and Netflix debut of the first two seasons of the film’s popular sequel series Cobra Kai, now is actually the perfect time for you to check out or revisit this iconic film.

JEFF AMES’ RECOMMEND: Any of Steve Martin’s Work

Click here to purchase the Steve Martin 4-Movie Laugh Pack!

I envy Steve Martin in so many ways. The man can do everything — he’s an actor, a writer, a musician, a comedian, and perhaps, the most likable man on the planet. As such, on his birthday, I found it only fitting to recommend all things Steve Martin; and while I’m mostly talking about his films — namely classics such as LA Story, Bowfinger, The Jerk, Parenthood, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Three Amigos, or Planes, Trains and Automobiles (among many others) — you can always go out and pick up one of his comedy albums, 1977’s Let’s Get Small or 1978’s A Wild and Crazy Guy, for starters.

You can also check out his play, Picasso at the Lapin Agile, or read one of his books, including Born Standing Up or Shopgirl. Or, one of his musical albums like 2015’s So Familiar which paired his musical talents with singer Edie Brickell. Or, you can watch any of his various standup bits or SNL appearances online. You won’t regret it. And while Martin’s film career over the past decade has left much to be desired in terms of quality, he continues to dazzle us with his seemingly endless array of talent that has long gone underappreciated by the masses.

ComingSoon.net recommends all readers comply with CDC guidelines and remain as isolated as possible during this urgent time.

Zack Snyder swaps Chris D’Elia with Tig Notaro for Army of the Dead

Following a wave of sexual harassment allegations leveled at the comedian, Zack Snyder is swapping out Chris D’Elia (You) from the ensemble roster of Army of the Dead with fellow comedian/actress Tig Notaro (Instant Family), according to The Hollywood Reporter.

RELATED: Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead Wraps Filming!

Though filming initially wrapped on the project last October, sources report that a round of reshoots are currently planned solely to incorporate Notaro and her character into the heart of the story but that due to the rest of its stars being busy with other projects and current pandemic restrictions on productions, her interactions with co-stars will mostly be done with a combination of shooting scenes opposite a stand-in, green screen and CG technology.

“The movie takes place in Las Vegas,” Snyder previously said. “A zombie plague hits Vegas, and they’re able to contain the virus to the city – they build a wall out of shipping containers. And then the city falls. And six years later, one of the casino owners hires this group of zombie soldiers to go get his money that he left in a safe in the casino.”

Written by Joby Harold and Shay Hatten from a story by Snyder, Army of the Dead will follow the story of a man who recruits a group of mercenaries to pull off the ultimate heist amidst a zombie apocalypse. It is consists of  an ensemble cast, including Dave Bautista (Stuber), Omari Hardwick (Kick-Ass), Hiroyuki Sanada (Westworld), Raul Castillo (Vida), Nora Arnezeder (Origin), Matthias Schweighöfer (The Manny), Samantha Win (Wonder Woman), Rich Cetrone (Thor) and Garrett Dillahunt (Fear the Walking Dead).

Snyder has been working on the film since 2007, originally having it in development at Warner Bros. Now, the project is in development at Netflix. Word is the streaming service is sparing no expense with a budget reportedly in the $70 million to $90 million range. The Justice League director will produce alongside his wife Deborah Snyder for The Stone Quarry with Wesley Collar. Ori Marmu and Andrew Norman will oversee for Netflix.

The filmmaker’s last zombie pic was also his first — 2004’s Dawn of the Dead starring Sarah Polley, Ving Rhames and Michael Kelly, among others. Since then he has mostly stayed close to the comic book genre with 300, Watchmen, Man of Steel, and Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, as well as the anime-inspired action epic Sucker Punch.

Universal Releases New Jurassic World: Dominion Pics As Production Resumes

In Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the choice was made to release the dinosaurs into the wild. That means Jurassic World: Dominion will explore the consequences of that strange new world. However, the cast and crew are adjusting to their own new reality in the era of COVID-19. Through The New York Times, Universal Pictures has released new photos from Jurassic World: Dominion to mark the return of the cast (via SuperHeroHype).

As seen above, one of the pics features Bryce Dallas Howard as Claire Dearing as she examines some baby dinosaurs. She also happens to be wearing a face mask; which may unintentionally evoke the current pandemic. The studio gave each cast and crew member a 107-page safety manual before they returned to the set. It covers “everything from the infrared temperature scanners the cast and crew encounter upon arrival to the vacuum-sealed meals provided by masked workers standing behind plastic partitions in the takeout-only cafeteria.”

That’s not a joke, as illustrated by the accompanying picture.

Universal also included a behind-the-scenes image, which you can see below.

Howard explained that one of the changes requires her to mic herself before filming. And that’s just one the new safety rules in place to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

“Until now, actors were not really included in prep,” said Howard. “But in order to get any of us on a plane, we had to thoroughly understand the protocols, who was involved and hear second and third opinions. We are the guinea pigs who are going to take the leap.”

Regardless, director Colin Trevorrow is happy for the distraction that the film provides him.

“We are able for this little moment to be in the world that we’re creating and leave the rest of the world behind,” said Trevorrow.
