TGIF! Another Friday, so you know what that means? It’s time once again for the 9th Edition of Considering the Cinema’s THE WEEKLY WATCHLIST! So, as we join the boys here in Episode 082, your hosts — Jason Pyles, Mack Robins and Dave Becker — bring you some reviews of Martin Scorsese short films, the account of attending a beloved ’90s film screening whose score is performed by a live symphony orchestra, and two films with the exact same title but representing two different genres! Oh, and Jay also reveals what he calls “one of the best sites on film on the internet.” Join us!
Note: This episode was recorded on September 19, 2024, and it released on April 17, 2025.
THE WEEKLY WATCHLIST is the type of episode where we simply talk about whatever we’ve been watching lately from our own, personal watchlists. Here’s how it works: Jay, Mack and Dave have zero “movie-watching homework.” We are completely free each week to watch whatever we want from any era, year, genre, country, etc! We can finally go through our own personal watchlists and catch up with the films we’ve been meaning to see. So, every week will be vastly different. Let us know what you think of this format.
Jay of the Dead also hosts a WEEKLY HORROR MOVIE PODCAST with Mister Watson at Horror Movie Weekly.com. And of course, every Horror fan should check out Jay of the Dead’s New Horror Movies, The Gold Standard of Horror Movie Podcasts.
Thanks for listening to Considering the Cinema Podcast and Considering Horror Cinema, The Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of Movie Podcasting… Don’t forget: You can email Jay, Mack and even Dr. Shock at ConsideringTheCinema@gmail.com or post a comment in the show notes for this episode.
