Welcome, friends. The Omniplex is open. We aren't normally this heavy on the political side, but the last four years has been tumultuous. Each piece of media produced, whether directly or indirectly, is a product of its time. Now that the horse has officially left the hospital (thank you John Mulaney, for the brilliant and hilarious extended metaphor), we can begin to look at what impact Trump's presidency has had on our film, tv, and music. If media is society holding a mirror up to itself,...

The Omniplex is open! This week, Austin, Albert, and Zephyr talk the dark comedy musical classic Little Shop of Horrors.

The Omniplex is open! This week we discuss a bygone era. Think back. Back to a long lost time in movie history. Alllllll the way back to the Fall and Winter of the yesteryear of 2007.

Welcome to the final episode of The Film Room! Yes, the podcast in this form is ending, and we are burning it down to the ground with our take on Ralph Bakshi's Cool World. How does this exist?

DISCLAIMER: This episode was recorded on April 18, 2018, and serves right now as a time capsule. This was before both Infinity War and Endgame came out, among other various things that have changed drastically in the past year and a half. We talk a dozen random subjects, movies we've seen, the state of Channel Awesome at the time, upcoming things we are excited about (that turned out with mixed results), and some extra Lola shenanigans kept in for good measure (because she's grown since too)!...

DISCLAIMER: This cast was recorded a year ago, before the Sony/Marvel Split, before Spiderman: Far From Home came out, and well before Endgame came out, so there are some.. unfortunate anachronisms. We kept them in because it's a weird time capsule which serves as a stark highlight for recent events. Hello and welcome! This week we delve into some Marvel Cinematic AU with returning guest Paul Andolina with the 1977 Spiderman Made-for-TV movie! We also briefly discuss other '70s Marvel Movie...

Welcome to our episode on Jordan Peele's now horror classic Get Out! We recorded this episode on April 4, 2018 - a little over a year ago. Albert was originally going to cut out all mentions that date this recording, but a) there are too many mentions and b) it turns out that said mentions aged really, really well. So enjoy!
