On January 15th, 2025, the world of cinema lost one of the greatest storytellers to ever come into the medium in David Lynch. A nearly 40 years career that spanned the medium of not only film but television, art, music, books and even becoming a world class speaker. In the winter of 2023, we sat out to make a David Lynch podcast called the “Big Dream Podcast”. This podcast would have spanned the entirety of Lynch’s career. However, timing was the enemy and the podcast never made its way past the pilot episode. This is that pilot episode with filmmaker David Gayne. Enjoy and may David Lynch rest in peace.

IN THIS EPISODE…

From Man of Steel to Wonder Woman the DCEU’s road have led to this; the long fabled film is finally here: Zack Snyder’s Justice League. In its four-hour runtime, Snyder brings to life a larger than life story so epic it took us two whole episodes to cover it. In this first part, we’ll address the redefined versions of Aquaman, Cyborg, The Flash and even Batman. We lean into the trauma that shaped each hero, how it continues to shape them and how we can learn from their actions. It’s hard not to compare this version to its 2017 theatrical, and yet somehow canonical, counterpart. All this and more.

We discuss the groundbreaking film, Wonder Woman. Before she ever found herself in a twirling transition from Diana Prince to Wonder Woman (ala Linda Carter) she forever changed the face of the comic book medium. She challenged the notion that comics were merely for boys. Over her tenure in the medium, she has evolved to other mediums as well including television, cartoons, toys and more. Gal Gadot’s big screen debut with the character offered up something new for the DCEU and comic book movies as whole. In our penultimate, Road to Snyder Cut episode, we’re going back to the beginning of the DCEU as we know it with Kate Webster, a teacher and Wonder Woman superfan to disucss the first solo outing of Diana to the world of man.

Fred Hampton was an American revolutionary gone too soon. So much of his story is tied to the Black Panther Party. Daniel Kaluuya embodies the leader of the party in the new biopic, Judas and the Black Messiah. In this episode, we'll break down misconceptions around the ideas and history of the Black Panther Party, their impact and their influence on their surrounding cities.

I really can’t say but it’s cold outside. It’s cold because of the frozen ground and Mister Freeze is nowhere in sight. Fortunately for us Nicolas Cage is because we have a double feature on this episode of The Cage Corner Podcast.

Chadwick Boseman left us way too early. He's a talent that will truly be missed. With his final live-action performance in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, Boseman channels one of his best performances to date along side an equally impressive Viola Davis. Davis plays "the mother of blues", Ma Rainey, as she creates her single "Black Bottom". Black Bottom welcomes the conversation of exploitation, history of race records, what it means to sacrifice for your art and much more. How does this final performance from Boseman stack up amongst his others for you? Tweet to us and let us know. 1,2 you know what to do...

He knows when you've been naughty and he knows when you've been nice. Perhaps you didn't know it before this episode but Mel Gibson is the Santa Clause you didn't know you needed until Fatman. In the first, of many, Christmas crossover(s) with our friends in Collateral Cinema (http://bit.ly/352guest) we're discussing the gritty approach to the jolly icon of Christmas. Side note, be sure to check out the other half of the crossover where we are discussing the cult classic Silent Night, Deadly Night. Fatman reinforces the reason for the season and how that has changed in our modern climate. Chris (Gibson) has become a guy who feels like he just continuously lets everyone down. How does that affect your mental health? How does the death of someone close to you affect your mental health? Christmas is normally viewed as this jolly time of the year but sometimes that's not the case for everyone. What the holidays mean for some, won't be the case for all. Happy Holidays! Enjoy this social Christmas single from Sofia Talvik (https://bit.ly/mg311) as well.

As we continue our 350th celebration, we're discussing everything from nostalgia to the weirdness of this Joel Schumacher directed tire fire.

Norman Bates once said that we all go a little mad and we’re stepping deep into the world of madness for this episode. The year is 1994 and the world is anxiously awaiting a new brand new novel from Sutter Cane. Imagine the same hysteria around a new MCU movie.

The Ghouls Next Door (https://bit.ly/313guest) join us to talk about the film’s themes on questioning reality, politics, social media, the inaccuracy of history and more.

Whether you are currently single, dating, divorced or are in the friend zone - we all have relationships. All those relationships carry some degree of impact on our mental health. While you wouldn't think Ryan Reynolds in a fat suit, or Michael Bolton starter kit, could be deep; the cult classic, Just Friends, offers not only an entertaining movie and genuinely hilarious comedy. It says a lot about dating, friend zone and the mental health experiences that come with the territory. We're joined by Kealy Ryder, of Dating Talk with Kealy (http://bit.ly/341guest) to discuss our worst dating experiences, her show and so much more.

Nicolas Cage has garnered a reputation over the years for being an over the top performer. The source of that insanity is 1988's Vampire's Kiss. In this double feature of Nicolas Cage, we look at this crazy horror comedy that boasted the career of a young Nicolas Cage. Plus, also gave us one of the greatest memes of our generation. Then we fast forward to the year 2015 to look at the movie, Pay the Ghost, in which Cage plays a father who is hunting for his missing son only to stumble upon the supernatural.

As the blood dries on the wall and windows, remember: YOU'RE NEXT...because we're talking about the 2011 slasher, home invasion horror movie of the same name. Adam Wingard's You're Next has been hailed as a staple to the modern horror movie genre. Whether or not we agree with that statement remains to be seen. This movie did give us some phenomenal gags, a terrific performance from Sherni Vinson and so much more.

It's hard to live in the shadow of another. The American classic novel, Rebecca, first found life in the celebrated Alfred Hitchcock classic. Once again, it finds a resurgence with a new Netflix. This Gothic romance holds a hint of psychological horror close to its chest as it tells the story of a woman finding love. We celebrate Rebecca because of its subtle approach to mental health, finding a new beginning and what years of mental anguish can have a person.

Ah, what could have been. Did you know that we were close to a 1990s Superman movie? Did you know that it would have saw Nicolas Cage, of all people, taking on the cape of the Man of Steel? The movie would have brought the famous story line of The Death of Superman to life. It would have given us our first live action version of Brainac and Doomsday respectively. To make it even crazier, it would have been directed by Batman director, himself, Mr. Tim Burton. In this episode of The Cage Corner Podcast, we discuss the documentary, The Death of Superman Lives, What Happened? This episode goes as in-depth as the movies does.

Say his name five times...we dare you! No, we double-dog dare you to. While Jason, Michael, Freddy, Pinhead & Leatherface were miles deep into their sequels; Tony Todd's hook-wielding, bee-stinging myth of a man was stepping into arguably one of the genre's most important films. 1992's Candyman dared to discuss racism, slavery and even how the horror genre treated people of color and women alike. While we've reached the conclusion that the film still is home to problematic aspects. It's not without merit to say, it's heart was in the right place. While we wait for the upcoming "spiritual" sequel, from Nia DaCosta, step back into nostalgia with the original that started it all.

A young boy gazes upon the big screen as his mother provides the soundtrack to the silent film right in front of him. A sepia tone blazes across every inch of the screen to reveal the film's hero: Bass Reeves. Bass Reeves is more than the subject of the movie in question. He is more than the central figure in the opening prologue to HBO's Watchmen. He is the unsung American hero that redefines what Justice means. In part one, we're addressing the not so pleasant beginnings of Bass as a child, born into slavery, and ultimately forced into the Civil War. A man who ultimately forged, for himself, a larger than life mythology.

Charlie Kaufman is perhaps one of the most articulate filmmakers making movies today. From his debut with Being John Malkovich to Adaption and the fan-favorite Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Kaufman knows how to tell stories. A common theme in all of his films are his depictions of mental health. In his new movie, I’m Thinking of Ending Things, Kaufman brings Iain Reid’s 2016 book to life in a story about a girlfriend meeting her boyfriend’s parents. Kaufman tackles themes of the value of life, age, depression, and more throughout this Netflix original film. In this episode, we chronicle theories of the film, it’s need for repeat viewing, and the impactful power of depression. We’re joined by Jonathon Thompson, writer and self-publisher of the sci-fi/horror anthology, Tales from the Dead Astronaut (http://bit.ly/327guest)

Robin Williams was a man who was beloved by millions. He was an entertainer who had an impact on a generation of children from his roles in movies like Aladdin, Jack, Flubber, Jumanji and Ms. Doubtfire. On August 11th, 2014, Williams killed himself...or at least that's what we've been lead to believe. In the new documentary, Robin's Wish, Williams' widow, Susan Schneider, debunks the media's narrative on Robin's last few years. Throughout the film, filmmakers sit down with those who knew him intimately. As well as those who understand the condition and the neurology behind the disease. Prepare yourself for the true. Robin's Wish is available on all major digital platforms beginning September 1st, 2020.

Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons redefined the comic medium with their landmark graphic novel, Watchmen. The team challenged the ideology of what comics could be - through the lens of politics, our own humanity and a satire of the very medium which it’s presented. Watchmen is one of the only books in the medium to be studied in depth in colleges, appear as the only graphic novel on Time’s “100 Greatest Books of All Time List” & light up both the big and small screen alike. Watchmen has influenced multiple creators of comics in writing and artistry alike. One thing, perhaps, that gets overlooked within the mythos of the Watchmen are the team of heroes that proceeded Dr. Manhattan and gang. In 2012, DC attempted to give prequel comics through the Before Watchmen line. One of which was the Minutemen. In this seventh installment into our Watchmen series, we’re looking at Darwyn Cooke’s miniseries with the Fantom Zone podcast (http://bit.ly/guest321).

We’re all fans of something. Whether it is comics, sports, film, video games or what have you - there is a core passion that exists within us all. What happens when that passion meets toxicity? Over the last few years, these very fandoms have becoming increasingly toxic. From death threats, sexual harassment and cyber bullying, we’ve arrived at the age of toxic fandom. Whether we want to admit it or not. Through the lens of the 1990 film, Misery, we breakdown, define what toxic fandom is, what our own experiences with it have been, how to debunk its toxicity and more. E-Man, of E-Man’s Movie Reviews (https://bit.ly/304guest), joins us to talk about Annie Wilkes’ personification of toxic fandom and the incredible job Kathy Bates did in bringing her to life.

When you talk about comics in the mid to late 80s, the conversation usually circles around DC Comics. From their landmark titles like Watchmen, The Dark Knight Returns and V for Vendetta. Though, quietly in the shadows loomed a hidden gem from the other half of the “Big Two”. In 1987, writer J. M. DeMatteis wrote a six-issue arc that pitted everyone’s favorite web-slinger against Kraven the Hunter. Though, this wasn’t just a simple battle. This was a character study and a humanizing experience for the hunter turned Spider-Man villain. Kraven’s Last Hunt depicted what happens when the villain finally bested the hero and the aftermath that falls. Captain Nostalgia and BlackNerdMagic are joined by Chris Barcomb (https://bit.ly/314guest ), writer behind the comic series The Amazing Adventures of Superior Sam, to talk about mental health, family values, self-worth and more!

Back in March, we did a two-part series on the relationship between Marriage & Mental Health (http://bit.ly/Vicep278) & subsequently, divorce and mental health (http://bit.ly/vicep279). Though, the question stands, what happens if we’ve never been married or divorced? How do ordinary relationships affect our mental health? How much time should be allotted for someone to truly grieve the loss of a relationship? How much long term damage can a toxic relationship have on someone’s mental health? How has the growing age of Tinder, and other dating apps, truly changed the way we find soul mates? We’re sitting down with relationship and dating expert, Rick Soeteiber (https://bit.ly/311guest), to answer these questions and more.

It’s amazing how little has changed in regards to racism since the late 1970s and subsequently the year, 2000. Some of us that grew up in the 1990s were fortunate enough to know the Disney Channel Original Movie (or DCOM , for short). Sometimes these movies weren’t all goofiness, but rather serious and biographical. Such is the case with The Color of Friendship. This television biopic taught the real life story of a cultures clashing during high racial times, specifically South Africa’s Apartheid. Capt. Nostalgia and Dan Rockwood are joined by Tyree Sterling (https://bit.ly/309guest), from Rock Your Mic, to talk about the international scope of racism. All while sharing their own experiences with the movie, its themes, the history of racism in our country and South Africa - plus much more.

LA 92 is one of the toughest documentaries ever put to film. However, it serves as a great educational piece on the cumulative effects of racism and police brutality in America. While the LA Riots of 1992, definitely mirror certain parts of our own story now, it’s a reflection of the 1965 Watts Riots on a larger scale. Captain Nostalgia and Caless Davis (aka BlackNerdMagic) are sitting down with New York metal band, Prdgms (https://bit.ly/306guest), to discuss the strong sometimes tragic topics that this film brings up and if anything has changed since the Rodney King beating and what were the factors that led to the biggest civil disturbance in American history Plus as an added bonus we’re sitting down with someone who lived through the riots (in 92) to tell us how life was like on ground level.

Police brutalities, racism and raical injustice are common conversation for us today. Back in the 1980s, it was revolutionary for five young gents out of Compton, California who experienced this one a daily basis. Dr. Dre, Easy E, Ice Cube, MC Ren & DJ Yella were known to the world as N.W.A. Their debut album, Straight Outta Compton, placed racial injustice and police brutality right in the front conversation. As they say in the movie, “our art is a reflection of our reality.” The band who redefined the rap back back in the late 80s, is back to their story on the big screen. In this episode of Victims and Villains, we are breaking down the 2015 biopic, Straight Outta Compton. Discussing everything from hip hop being art, racial profiling, police brutality and more. Chrissy Torres, editor of Dummie Comics, joins us for this important episode.

History has a tendency to repeat itself. What we’re currently experiencing now with civil unrest in the Black Lives Matter movement echoes throughout history. For Generation X, and to a lesser extent the Baby Boomer generation, there was a revolution taking place before their very eyes. Men like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., James Baldwin and Malcolm X were pioneers for civil rights for the black community. The latter, in Malcolm X, had his life grace the big screen in 1992 – thanks to director, Spike Lee, and a transformative performance from Denzel Washington. In this episode of Victims and Villains, we are sitting down with Emmanuel Noisette, of E-Man’s Movie Reviews (https://bit.ly/304guest), to discuss colorism, history, the nation of Islam and much more!

An underappreciated artist that stood in the middle of the civil rights conversation of the 1960s. An author, essayist, an absolute wonder & more - James Baldwin. The man behind works like If Beale Street Could Talk, The Fire Next Time, Notes of a Native Son & more was working on a manuscript that never quite found closure. That manuscript finds new life in the documentary, I Am Not Your Negro. Brought to life by Samuel L. Jackson, Baldwin attempts to write through the eyes of fellow friends and civil rights activists Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. & Medgar Evers. In this episode of Victims and Villains, Capt. Nostalgia & BlackNerdMagic are joined by Gary Scott, the host of the Say Eff It Podcast (https://sayeffit.com/), to discuss Baldwin's views on humanity, race, religion and more.

Love is a hard thing to find. Some of us spent our entire lives looking for it. Sometimes when we find it, it doesn’t come in the way we expected it. When fans were introduced to Harley Quinn, over 25 years ago, her story resonated a bit too closely for some of us. A psychologist that threw away a career all for love. Though, the longer that she stayed in the relationship the deeper the toxicity ate away at her. That was until she couldn’t take it anymore. Enter DC Universe’s brand-new cartoon on the fan favorite Batman villain. We’re breaking down every moment of the first season which was arguably “perfect television.”

She could feel it in the air that night and no she wasn't fearing Phil Collins or a killer drum solo impression from Mike Tyson. Though, it's still in the 1980s! We're talking about The New Mutants on this episode of Victims and Villains. While our guest for this episode has been a lifelong fan of New Mutants. Our own, Captain Nostalgia, is fresh to the mythos - but not to X-Men. 1984's The Demon Bear Saga is the quintessential New Mutants arc. It takes the spotlight on this episode. Though, it will not share that spotlight alone. We're sitting down with Josh Nealis, author behind several books and overseer of Cutthroat Comics. All this and more!

Grief can bring us into some interesting places, develop questionable choices and above all have some bizarre effects to our mental health. While some viewers won't see themes of grief for the 2018 independent film, Starfish. We want to challenge you to look past the bizarre elements of the film and listen closely to what it has to say. We're sitting down with writer, director and composer, Al White, to discuss the creative and vulnerable process for making the movie.

Happy Friday the 13th! We are continuing our episodic journey throughout the Friday the 13th franchise. Though this one should come with a disclaimer. The final chapter? I think not.

Anyways, Jason is back as is our Friday corespondent, Anthony Ripo from the Retro Gamers.

We live in a culture where divorce feels as normal as the air we breathe. It is believed that nearly 42%, at minimum, of first marriages will end in divorce. Throughout his semi-autobiographical movie, Marriage Story, writer-director Noah Baumbach depicted the very raw and real emotional stakes of such a process. How does something like divorce affect mental health? How does it affect self-worth? Or one’s value? We’re sitting down with Aaron White, of the Feelin’ Film podcast, to discuss his own journey with divorce. His own response to the mental health weight that came with such unfortunate circumstances. What makes Aaron’s story that much more important – he experienced divorce twice. Brace yourself for this extraordinarily personal episode of Victims and Villains!

Movies are meant to be for conversation. Marriage Story is a movie that opens up the conversation wide. They say that life can imitate art. For writer-director, Noah Baumbach, the journey and therapy that made 2019’s Marriage Story possible – had to have been incredibly difficult. Noah isn’t the only one who can be inspired. The movie, Marriage Story, left me with a question – what is the correlation between our own mental health and marriage or divorce? In this first, of two, part series, we’re sitting down with a marriage counselor to ask just those question. How does marriage positively affect the mental health of a spouse? How do the actions of one affect the mental health of the other? All these questions and more in this intimate episode of Victims and Villains!

Once upon a time ago, we weren’t the podcast that you know today. We were just a couple of guys talking about news in the world of fandom. Then, we rebooted our show to talk more openly about mental health. Over 200 episodes later, we haven’t looked back. Reboots are all the craze nowadays, though. We’re sitting down with Mister Crowley artist, CJ Oechsle, to talk about his book and Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. A movie which has a lot to say on the state of Hollywood, fatherhood, and more.

Watchmen is filled with history long forgotten. The saddest portion of that fact is the history in question is our own. While history has tried hard to hide the blood stains of The 1921 Tulsa Massacre and the optimistic spirits of Black Wall Street – their importance finds new life in the famed DC Comics heroes. Equally, as forgotten, is the place where Angela and Cal find their last name from. In the early 1970s, Blaxploitation found its audience through several new films. One of which was 1977’s Abar: The First Black Superman. While it might be an obscure piece of cinema history, its message in nonetheless relevant to today’s culture. Join us as we discuss the film’s importance, relation to the Watchmen series, its themes and more. Ian Wallace survived our Nicolas Cage November experiment and we once again Face/Off for this timely film review.

The optimistic of prosperity broken. Racial tensions at an all time high and the fall which broke the promised land. The 1921 Tulsa Massacre was one of the largest tragedies that has ever befall the United States. For nearly 100 years, our history has attempted to hide the blood of those men and women. Innocent families and legacies forever changed. In this episode, we are sitting down with Scott Ellsworth to discuss the history behind the innocent. Ellsworth is the author of Death in a Promised Land: The Tulsa Race Riot of 1921(http://bit.ly/scott1921). While also looking into how the events have shaped modern day Greenwood, as well as how the shadow of the massacre has impacted the generations that have come since 1921. For the latter portion of this podcast, we’re be sitting down with Adjoa Aiyetoro, a member of the Reparations Coordinating Committee, for Greenwood.

This is the story of Greenwood. A story that thrives on hope, prosperity but ends in tragedy. In its inception, Greenwood’s business district thrived. What makes Greenwood such an important story – isn’t its wealth but to whom those who received the wealth. Only a few years after the abolishment of slavery, African Americans found their way out west & oil found its way to Oklahoma. When the two met one another, oil wasn’t the only thing that was struck – hope was. Founding its own home within the walls of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Greenwood quickly rose to promise. Even being coined by Booker T. Washington as Black Wall Street. This is their story. For this episode, we are sitting down with Dr. Henry McKoy & Dr. Hannibal Johnson to bring to light the significance of this story. While Dr. McKoy is still working on his book, you can pick up Dr. Johnson’s book now by clicking here: https://www.hannibalbjohnson.com/books/

It is 1985 and Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons are about to completely challenge the medium of comics with a little book called Watchmen. It is 2019 and Damon Lindelof is about to do for television, what Alan and Dave did 35 years ago for comics. Watchmen brought forth some of our history’s ugliest events and dared to shine a light on them. Events that we dared to sweep under the rug. This is the first in a six part series dissecting Watchmen, its’ themes and the lines between fact and fiction of our own history. In this episode, we are joined by Caless Davis of Feelin’ Film to unpack the lasting impression of this important HBO series.

Welcome to another adventure within the multiverse! For this journey, we are diving into the depths of the controversial, yet impactful, DC Comics mini-series, Identity Crisis. The series saw the controversial sexual assault of Sue Dibney, wife of DC hero Elongated Man. While we're talking about the majority of the comic series with Dallas Mora from Geek Devotions (http://bit.ly/geekdev).

Welcome to another adventure within the multiverse! Grab your ty-fighter because we are journeying to a galaxy far, far away to talk about the Star Wars prequels. Or a rose by any other name being called "The Phantom Menace", "Attack of the Clones" & "Revenge of the Sith". While a large portion of this trilogy was set up to give us the back story of Darth Vader, one of the most influential and celebrated cinematic antagonists of all time. It also fleshed out the mythology of Star Wars with the Jedi code, the war of the clones, and more. While the prequels aren't always as celebrated as its brothers and sisters in episodes 4 to 6 - they still serve their purpose. They launched their own animated series in The Clone Wars, launched some awesome Darth Maul comics and let's not forget that awesome N64 podracing game. L.J. Lowery of Geeks Under Grace joins us for this dissection of nostalgia, mythology and cinematic function. What are your memories of these movies? Share with us in the comments below?

Welcome to another adventure within the multiverse! We're still full from Thanksgiving yesterday but still had enough fuel for one more adventure into the universe with Nicolas Cage November in it. So, instead of spinning, we invited our former co-host - Kody "The Poet" Ball - to pick a Nic Cage movie. He went with Kick-Ass. Kick-Ass was the 2010 film based on the comic of the same name about a young man who got tired of being bullied and became a hero in order to inspire change. Throughout that mission, though, he has to come up against Mark Strong. Join us as we discuss Kody's new podcast, the themes of the movie and the reason it may or may not have fallen under people's radar.

Welcome to another adventure within the multiverse! For the last eight years, while Marvel has been blowing up the big screen with the adventures of the MCU – DC has been ushering in their own television universe known as the “Arrowverse”. What started in 2012 with a singular show to tell the story of DC’s version of Robin Hood has grown into so much more than that. The CW now boasts the reigns of The Flash, Supergirl, Black Lightning, Legends of Tomorrow and of course the show that started it all, Arrow. While we are on the heels of the largest crossover, the Arrowverse has ever seen in Crisis on Infinite Earths – it’s not going to come without some serious repercussions. The show that started the entire universe is coming to a close. While it’s been an impressive, fun and sometimes dull seven years – we’re counting down our top 10 moments, episodes & characters from Arrow. We’re not alone, though. Joining us on this journey is the man behind not one, but four, podcasts (The Spotlight, DC Prime Time, We Have to Go Back & Still Afraid of the Dark): Mr. Ben Beck!
