  5. Wow. So much content. I only started dabbling with Fthismovie last October, so I am looking forward to diving in this year.
    I can't believe I didn't watch ANY horror before last SMM. I have you guys to thank for opening my eyes to this great genre.
    Also, Patrick, you prefaced both your "solo" commentaries saying no one wants to listen to you talk about a movie for 2 hours. That is simply not true. We love to hear you talk about the movies you love and point out what it is you love about them. Plus I could watch The Funhouse again anytime!

  6. so... much... stuff... to... read...

    i can't...

    oooh, look at the shinny thing

  7. is John Dies At The End considered horror?

  8. Wow this is a lot of material to get through but I will. I'm new to the site and podcasts and over the last 3 months I've caught up with nearly every podcast. Have to say not only am I now a committed fan but you've also turned me onto Saturday night movie sleepover and I guess I'll be checking out killer pov. This will be my first scary movie month so looking forwards to contributing

  9. Big love to the Saturday Night sleepovers guys, I do enjoy there sense of humour
    I might go toe to toe that I Love Weekend at Bernies as much, "Bernie's moustache is my Spirit Animal"

  10. I recommended it to a friend and they didn't like the fact that the guys continually went off topic and he felt they didn't always focus on the task at hand. I disagree as this is one of the reasons I love those guys, and I've lost count how many times I've rewatched films off the back of one of their podcasts.

    1. yeah, I enjoy the going off topic stuff too, that's sometimes the best part

      like DracuDoug on here, Even Doug doesn't know why its funny, But it is

  11. This primer is just about the most beautiful things I could have hoped to have seen today, very impressive and completely awesome. So question, would Chicago be the official time zone to kick off SMM or is it local time zone? I’m behind you folks so I hoping for the former. I’ll take silence to confirm that it would be all good. Plus Halloween on a Monday this year that’s some serious weak sauce.

  12. Hey everyone, new to the site. I LOVE FTM and all the great content you guys bring to us listeners. Been listening for a while now. I hear scary movie month is pretty awesome. Look forward to all the podcasts, reviews, and great posts from all the fans!

    1. Welcome to the site! Give yourself a name, watch some scary movies and start posting 7-word reviews! Don't be intimidated by some of the truly brilliant reviews - I don't let it stop me from posting my crap!

  13. I've got like a Christmas Eve feeling happening here - so excited - now I just have to figure out which theme to start with - Final Destination, Stephen King or Cronenberg - or just some random new thing I got? Decisions, decisions! And am I the only one planning on staying up after midnight to get one in the books right away? (Hey, I think it's after-midnight in Atherton Time right now!)

    ReplyDelete
  14. How many reviews did we have last year?

    1. I remember it being about 100 or 200 shy of 3,000.

  15. Love, Rosie is one of these traumatic 123 wherein everything might be just pleasant if the two central characters had a easy communication that cleared up all their misunderstandings. watch movies online free
