WARNING: Unfortunately, the audio quality of this episode is less than you've come to expect from us. We did the best we could to clean it up, but it might still be difficult to finish for some listeners. Never have Ryan and I felt so old as when we invited co-hosts of the "Exiting Through the 2010's" podcast, JACK DRAPER and CLAY WILLIAMS, into the flames of The Incinerator. Maybe we broke them? Maybe they broke us? Only one way to find out! To vote for the winners, visit us...

Here it is, folks - our first live show ever, recorded August 23rd - "Ridley & Tony Scott" - featuring MITCHELL BEAUPRE (Letterboxd) and CONOR O'DONNELL (The Film Stage) duking it out for all the glory.

Before Full Moon Entertainment, Charles Band gave us a wealth of cinematic excellence under the banner of "Empire Pictures".

It's here, finally dropped from behind the paywall! It's the final episode. When we embarked on this journey, we all knew one film had the greatest chance of standing alone. It seems fitting that a film named HEAT would survive the incinerator, and DARREN FRANICH and I take ALL the credit.

Few series have cemented themselves in the zeitgeist as "Atlanta" did. Its epic run on FX was one of the most celebrated in recent years. So - why not incinerate most of the best episodes just for the hell of it? We're joined by film journalists CHANCELLOR AGARD and DARREN FRANICH (both formerly of EW) to get to the bottom of a series with which both hosts are grossly unfamiliar.

When it comes to horror studios, few have achieved the kind of mainstream success and widespread recognition as Blumhouse, while also occasionally dabbling in more prestige output. So: it's only natural that we incinerate all that hard work with the help of MIKE MERRIGAN (Filmjitsu podcast) and RYAN MCQUADE (Awards Watch, InSession Film). They're joined (and thwarted) by engineer CHRIS THOMAS DEVLIN, screenwriter of the latest Texas Chainsaw Massacre film and the upcoming Lionsgate horror...
