Attention, Media Mart shoppers! We have a Blue Light Special here in Episode 073 of Considering the Cinema, The Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of Movie Podcasting. During this show, your hosts Jason Pyles (aka Jay of the Dead), his co-host, Mack Robins (aka Mackula), and the esteemed host of The DVD Infatuation Podcast, Dave “Dr. Shock” Becker will bring you THE WEEKLY WATCHLIST, where we simply talk about whatever we’ve been watching lately on 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. Join us!

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.
