Slipstream is back with an episode inspired by A Haunted House 2. My full review of the film is going up later today, but the video should give you a pretty good idea of where I stand on the film.
Instead of wasting your time on a full price ticket, wait for the streaming/DVD release and watch one of the 5 Best Horror/Comedies instead.
I’m so excited to see Muppets Most Wanted. I had to make a video about The Muppets in honor of its release. A little on the history of The Muppets, their role in the pulp fiction spectrum, and the top 5 non-variety show adaptations of The Muppets.

I’m getting into a groove with this new Slipstream format. First, I go deep on what we know about the recently announced The Last of Us feature film adaptation. Then, I countdown the five most emotional horror films you’ve probably never seen to tide you over until you can cry at the big screen reimagining of that opening 15 minutes in The Last of Us. I’m starting to cry just thinking about that. Stiff upper lip.

Gail Simone, creator of The Movement, watched and reblogged my Slipstream episode discussing The Movement on her Tumblr. Winning!
This week on Slipstream, we say goodbye to The Movement, one of the best new comics of 2013, and look forward to five great superhero films that could happen. Anything can happen, right? I mean, I know five is unlikely, but never say never.

I had enough of a voice to film a traditional episode of Slipstream and took advantage of it. The topic for the first episode of the new season is the relationship between science fiction and the Oscars. We take a quick look at the five sci-fi hopefuls for Oscar glory followed by the four strangest nominations for sci-fi films in the history of the Academy Awards.

This week on Slipstream, we take a look at Shakespeare’s last play The Tempest and dig through the fantastical throughline of Shakespeare’s stage work. Spoilers: it’s all because of Ancient Greece. They loved fantasy.
You ever see two films and think there’s no way the similarities are coincidental? We’re not talking the shot for shot remake of Psycho from Gus Van Sant here. We’re talking about films that were made in response to other films.
This week on Slipstream: The Pulp Culture Vlog, I propose that a modern Academy Award-winning fantasy classic pulls more than just a little inspiration from a radical Czech New Wave Surrealist fantasy from the 1970s. The latter already inspired one of my favorite dark fantasy/horror films of all time; whose to say that a film buff like the director of the former wouldn’t have embraced the structure and story of the same film for his own purposes.
