Considering the Cinema Ep. 027: The Lodge 2020, Capone 2020, Green Rush 2020, Blood and Money 2020, Walkaway Joe 2020

For decades past, the month of May used to be well into blockbuster movie season. But now, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, theaters are closed and there doesn’t seem to be a “big summer popcorn movie” season this year. At least, not yet. Are there still any great movies to watch on VOD? Your late-night host Jason Pyles (aka “Jay of the Dead”) is here in Episode 027 of Considering the Cinema to answer that question for you!

During this show, Jay will bring you the scoop on 2020 new release movies on VOD, such as Capone (2020) and Green Rush (2020) and Blood and Money (2020) and Walkaway Joe (2020). But the major highlights of Episode 027 are the three special guests: Jay welcomes BillChete and Lady Phantom of Movies in 4K and Horror Movie Weekly to help him review the Horror chiller The Lodge (2020). And Jason also welcomes the Irishman himself, Karl Huddleston from Movie Podcast Weekly, to review The King’s Speech (2010). This episode features an incredibly sobering comment from Justin the Juggernaut. And as always, Jay brings you a bunch of Mini Reviews, including a quick description of Love Wedding Repeat (2020) on Netflix.

  1. Jay of the Dead, continuing the conversation, there’s no need to apologize for your episode 25 review of ‘The Wretched’. I think your enthusiasm for movies is a quality that comes through in all of your review podcasts.
    On the topic of most horror movies being terrible, I remember listening to a Joe Bob Briggs interview from about a year ago where he’s talking about how so many horror movies are just really bad; I think ‘f***ing suck’ were the words Joe Bob used. I think Joe Bob Briggs has a great take on this topic.

    Interview:

    Joe Bob’s comments on the topic are at, 18:28-33:06.

    I know we’re supposed to have monster/horror nicknames on this forum, so I’ll go with ‘Kaiju Nick’, posted before as ‘Nicolas’ here, and posted before as “Nicolas’ on HorrorMovieWeekly.com; will now post as ‘Kaiju Nick’ on both forums..

  4. Jay of the Dead,
    I just watched ‘The Lodge’ from your recommendation, and I have to say your 10/10 rating is pretty good, right in line with my point of view and the kind of horror movies I really like.

    I am also a listener of the ‘Horror Movie Weekly’ podcast. I really appreciate and I respect both Lady Phantom and Bill Chete a lot. With that said, Jay of the Dead, it sounded like you were talking to a couple of Philistines on this review of ‘The Lodge’.

    After several years listening, I still had no idea about that Bill Chete-‘machete’ pun. That’s hilarious! It was fun to learn that fact from this episode.

    Thanks, Jay of the Dead.

  5. Another great episode. Nice to hear your positive thoughts on The Lodge, and everything else. Keep the good stuff coming!

  6. I love Clue. And I love Clue, and I think we should play it, maybe even on the podcast? Would that be painfully boring? I do have Blockbuster the Board Game and we should play that on the air.
