The Screen Companion

In the 100th episode of TSC, we get into movies that affected us. Not simply “cool” flicks or stuff that was really entertaining, but films that reached us deeply: The Wild Robot and Rocky. Having done the podcast this long, let's hit on the ways cinema can be impactful on an individual level and possibly be more than “just” moving pictures on a screen. Guests: Max & Andrew.

More remakes, but also questions concerning the horror genre. How much of it should rely on effects versus horror derived from the drama? Can a '50s horror movie like The Fly do anything better than its souped up '80s remake? And be sure to check out Part Two! Guests: Ian, Andrew & Jon.

Star Trek (1966-2005) spawned a bunch of television series, and what does every series have? An ending! In this case, we'll discuss the Host's two favorite: "All Good Things" (Parts 1 and 2) and "Demons" / "Terra Prime". The Next Generation! Enterprise! Journey with us to the farthest reaches of the galaxy as we scan for great T.V. Guest: Jon.

As the Host is furthest from all things music related, he'll live vicariously through Andrew's experiences playing bass for Rebel Scum along with talking music focused films; Part 2 features This Is Spinal Tap as well as a discussion about real life bombing—and triumphing—on stage. Guests: Andrew & Jon.
