Considering the Cinema Ep. 079: The Weekly Watchlist – I Control the Alligator

Posted on January 10, 2025 by producer

“I’ve done dirty things in my life, but I wouldn’t plug someone in the back.” Welcome back to Considering the Cinema’s THE WEEKLY WATCHLIST episode with Jason Pyles, Mack Robins and Dave Becker, though you may know them as Jay of the Dead, Mackula and Dr. Shock. Here in Episode 079, Dave discusses some Criterion Collection documentaries; Jason tackles some ’90s and 2000s Action Sci-Fi movies; and Mack explores some films pertaining to the Olympics. In addition to Dave discussing the 40th anniversary of the Criterion Collection, Mack falls into a weird rabbit hole of learning more about the films of “Leni” Riefenstahl, and the guys have a quick little chat about film colorization (without tipping over the entire boat). Join us!

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. Continue reading →
