Movies After Midnight: Recent Episodes
Evelyn Smith
Join host Evelyn Smith on a journey through cinema's lost, forgotten, and unfairly maligned as she endeavors to give these lost treasures their due!
Hammer Dracula takes the series forward in time to 1972! Peter Cushing returns! The guy from Jedi Knight dies in the shower! Join Evelyn & Erynn as we return to discuss a more polarizing entry in the Dracula series.
It has been said that "chicks dig scars", and our resident "chicks" (Evelyn & Erynn) put that adage to the test by breaking down this somewhat strange entry in the Hammer Dracula canon while engaging in the time honored tradition of podcast yapping.
Movies After Midnight takes a brief break from our Hammer Dracula deep-dive this week to discuss Ken Russell's surrealist historical journey, Gothic. Join us for an intellectual look at sex, drugs, seances, and the one time Timothy Spall played a relatively nice guy!
The blood of Dracula brings all the boys to the yard as we discuss this Dracula classic featuring satanic rituals, poignant social commentary, and actual boobs! O.O
Evelyn and Erynn continue our look at the Hammer Dracula series in the most overtly "Catholic" Dracula film so far!
December has come and gone, but Dracula remains. A LOT of Dracula, actually...Evelyn is joined once more by Erynn as we take a look at Christopher Lee's first of many returns to the role he would become synonymous with in Dracula: Prince of Darkness!
December With Dracula continues with the second entry in the Hammer Dracula Canon. With an absence of Christopher Lee, can a new vampire keep the same level of raw vampiric kavorka? Maybe not, but we do get more lesbian vampires so that's pretty cool!
Movies After Midnight returns from a brief hiatus to spend December with Dracula, delving into the Legendary Hammer series featuring Christopher Lee & Peter Cushing! Join Evelyn & Erynn at the beginning as we face the Horror of Dracula!
Our Halloween fun has escaped the month of October as we start digging in to the less talked about entries in the Universal Frankenstein series. Join us as we look at the continuation of Henry Frankenstein's legacy in Son of Frankenstein!
Howling Week concludes as Evelyn & Erynn discuss the 2011 reboot of our favorite werewolf franchise. Former child actors, late 00's nostalgia, and creepy Freudian werewolf women await!
Note Due to technical issues, this episode was recorded as "audio-only"Howling Week enters its penultimate phase as Evelyn & Erynn discuss one of the most strangely quaint, casual, and strangely paced werewolf films ever made. Also Country line dancing. So much Country line dancing...
Howling Week gets freaky as Evelyn & Erynn discuss a film containing vampires, sideshow acts, sensitive English werewolves, and the repressed small town pastors who love them.
Over halfway through Howling Week, Evelyn & Erynn discuss as the series takes a turn into Agatha Christie territory with a theatrical werewolf whodunit.
Howling Week continues as the series attempts to more faithfully adapt the original novel with ADR, Catholicism, and that guy from The Pretender melting into goo!
Howling Week continues as Evelyn & Erynn discuss maybe the most bizzare entry in this (or any other) franchise. Meta humor, Thylacines, and freaky Eraserhead babies await!
Howling Week continues with Christopher Lee, apelike lycanthropes, and the cuntiest werewolf queen to ever serve looks on celluloid.
Evie joins forces with Erynn once more to discuss one of the few werewolf franchises out there, starting with Joe Dante's 1981 classic: The Howling!
NOTE: In the lost video footage, we were dressed in Halloween gear and Erynn was wearing a Freddy costume. I swear we weren't just being crackheads at the start.
Evie is joined by Erynn for a late Halloween episode as we look at one of the less remembered classics of Universal's golden age of Horror. Vampires, lesbianism, really shoddy psychology, and oh my god is that the set from "My Man Godfrey"?! Join us for all this and more!
Evie and Nick ring in the spoopiest time of the year with perhaps the greatest contribution to Western culture to ever come out of Saskatchewan. Join us as we talk Werewolves, establish a general lack of knowledge about Canadian culture, and enjoy some donuts in the spirit of WolfCop!
The Brennaissance of Mummy March can truly begin! Evie is joined once again by Nick as the 'sibs revisit a film that kicked off latent Egyptology phases in many a 90's kid. Director Stephen Sommers combined adventure, man-eating scarabs and a cast packed with iconic character actors in a film fondly remembered by many. But how does it hold up as we reopen the long-closed story of The Mummy? No harm ever came from reading a book, right?
Before beginning Mummy March, and our look at the classic Brendan Frasier trilogy of the 00's, it is only fitting we do some filmic archaeology of our own and look back on the classic Universal original: "The Mummy". Featuring a wrinkly Boris Karloff, a returning Edward Van Sloan from Dracula, and a powerfully compelling Zita Johann, where exactly does this sit among the Universal greats? I sure hope things don't get problematic at all...
Evie and Nick join forces to begin the new season of Movies After Midnight with one of 2017's most unfortunately timed releases turned one of 2019's most slept on historical dramas! Join us for a tale of airbrakes, electricity, and of an actor getting major mileage out of the voice he perfected playing Dr. Strange: The Current War!
Movies After Midnight is a film podcast looking to shine a tacky neon light upon the ignored, snubbed, and glossed over parts of cinema.
