Considering the Cinema Ep. 081: The Weekly Watchlist – Scariest Environment Imaginable

Posted on March 14, 2025 by producer

It’s Friday! Time for another installment of Considering the Cinema’s THE WEEKLY WATCHLIST! Here in Episode 081, your hosts — Jason Pyles, Mack Robins and Dave Becker — discuss the losses of James Earl Jones and David Bordwell. Mack tells you about his new goal to watch one film 100 times! We also reveal which films we’ve seen the most, as well as our Desert Island Picks! Jason rants about the shameful ad-whoring on Roger Ebert.com. And of course, we bring you reviews of the movies we’ve been watching lately! Join us!

Note: This episode was recorded on September 9, 2024, and it released on March 14, 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. Continue reading →
