Pod Stallions 124: Canadian Movies with Matt Weinhold

Back bacon. RUSH. Toques. William frigging Shatner.

These are just a handful of the many gifts Canada has given the world. And dang it, they know a thing or two about makin’ movies, too. It’s high time PS celebrated them in an episode, especially since one 1/2 of us claim to be Canadian! (Note: the jury is still oot). And who better to help than our monstrously cool pal Matt Weinhold, Actor/comedian/cinephile/Monster Party Co-host and all-around good egg? All three of us sing our lists of cinematic gold from the Great White North, from comedies to horror to thrillers and beyond.

Take off with us, won’t you? (Apologies, that was too easy but obligatory)

Pod Stallions 123: Phantoms of the…Places.

Never let it be said that horror kids can’t be romantic and have a soft spot for the psychotic underdog, because following up on our Werewolves October ep comes Famous Phantoms of Filmdom. You know what we mean, from Opera to the Paradise, we cover all the ways the original story has ‘bled’ into other adaptations and pop culture. So grab your favorite opera mask, throw on a cape and settle in for PS’s 2nd October eps all about Phantom menaces. (See what we did there? Note: we won’t be covering The Phantom Menace. Or Phantom Power by Super Furry Animals, there’s only so much time). PS- We know, we forgot Darkman, all Brian’s fault and we’ll get to it.

It’s ALIEN, of course, and since 1979 it’s titular character has appeared (tho altered) in multiple big budget flicks, with varying and often disappointing results. With the new Alien: Romulus currently face-hugging the public in a retro way, we thought we’d cover the good, the bad and the Italian (yes, we get to the ALIEN rip-offs!) in our latest convo.

Yes, we did the work, so you don’t have to. Two busted TV pilots, both in the law enforcement genre, only one will suck a little less than the other.

“If we Letterboxed our viewing habits in 2023, we’re estimating between us we’ve spent close to one full month (maybe one with 28 days) watching everything from TV series to movies, highbrow to lowbrow and all points in between. We thought it’d be fun to wind 2023 down by recommending titles to the most discerning listeners in podcastville. So it’s another fine episode of ‘What We’ve Been Watching!’ on Pod Stallions. Hope it helps!”

Topics Discussed: Shudder, Heather Graham, Mission Impossible, Tubi, Dead Next Door, Bruce Campbell, the Creator, Zombie Movies, Italian Cinema, Treasure of the Four Crowns, 3d movies, Comin’ at Ya!, Tony Anthony, Doctor Who, Doctor Donna, Ncuti Gatwa, 60th anniversary, Mego, Whoniverse, Ruby Rose, Russell T.

Pod Stallions Episode 114 Trick or Treat Grab Bag.

Anyone who knows the Pod Stallions boys knows our love of Halloween borders on the obsessive. In fact, it’s so strong that one single topic isn’t enough for our final Halloween episode. So this one’s a Trick R Treat Grab Bag of sugary, monster-loving goodness. Movies, costumes, candy and heck, even the weather get covered.

Join us, won’t you, for our 2023 Halloween farewell by overdosing on scary goodness. And try not to think about the next Halloween being 365 days away.

Pod Stallions 110: What We’re Watchin’

Keen-eared listeners of the Pod Stallions podcast know that those boys can talk, know a lot of stuff and have opinions, whether they’re asked for or not. Each episode peels back another layer of the enigma-onion that is BraSon, revealing more of their likes, loves and mehs. We thought it was a good time to rip another layer off and talk about What We’ve Been Watching Lately. Comedy, horror, Love Boat, documentary, sci-fi, Love Boat and punk rock are all discussed as well as the Love Boat. It’s like a convo between video store geeks if we still had video stores to hang out in. Give it a whirl; who knows? You just might get turned on to try some suggestions and may even be familiar with others. But don’t forget, Be Kind, Rewind.

Topics include Green Room, VFW, Love Boat, Doctor Who, Are you being served?, Star Trek, History of the World Part 2, Battlefield Earth, The Intruder Within, GORP, Patrick, Australian Cinema, Documentaries, Bob and David, Dick Shawn, Failed TV pilots, #podstallions #plaidstallions #toyventures #startrek #loveboat #tvpilots

So wade in, as the curtain is pulled back to reveal Brian and Jason at their most naked (metaphorically, obviously), in ⁠Pod Stallions⁠‘ Group Free For All!

Issue 9 of Toy-Ventures Magazine is now available and features our guide (and fanboyish love letter) to one of Mego‘s most underrated toy lines. Packaging variations, prototypes, foreign distributor variants, unproduced art, it’s all there.

Please help us keep print toy collector magazines alive by sharing this or using our hashtag #toyventures if you own some issues or see them in the wild.
We could use all the help we can get.
