Hello again, and welcome to Considering the Cinema’s THE WEEKLY WATCHLIST! Here in Episode 080, your affable hosts — Jason Pyles, Mack Robins and Dave Becker — will bring you discussions of what they have been thinking about pertaining to cinema and enjoying lately from their own, personal watchlists. For instance, Jay talks about film critic Stanley Kauffmann and a couple of intriguing documentaries; Mack discusses his journal entry that explains why he loves movies, as well as some interesting made-for-TV fare; and Dave gets to work by watching three of Mack’s very highly recommended films! Join us!

Note: This episode was recorded in September of 2024, and it released on Jan. 26, 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.
