"Return to the Burkittsville Woods": The Blair Witch Project with Michael C. Williams

Screaming Roomers - it's time to revisit the early years of the internet and return to Burkittsville, MD for the found-footage classic and viral marketing phenomenon, 1999's THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT with one of the film's stars - actor Michael C. Williams! We'll go behind-the-scenes to talk secrets... fan theories... and memories of the film. Plus celebrate how it still remains one of the creepiest entries of psychological horror to this day. And this time we promise not to make Mike stand in the corner.

The Exorcist with Carlos Alazraqui

It's Halloween Season! And that means that the Tuesday Morning Screening Room is now the Tuesday Morning SCREAMING Room! And what better way to kick off a month of horror related content than with a movie that still scares the pea soup out of me - 1973's THE EXORCIST! But luckily I'm joined by intrepid actor/comedian Carlos Alazraqui for a head-turning conversation on the film - one of his all time favorites! See you in the Screaming Room, Screaming Roomers - wish me luck!

"The Power of Masters of the Universe 1987!" with Team MOTU

"By the Power of Grayskull! I have the power!"... well, sort of... although those iconic words are never uttered in full within the film itself... we still love the plucky earnestness and sci-fi/fantasy silliness of 1987's MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, the first big screen appearance of He-Man and friends (plus, some other movie specific randos) based on the enormously popular Mattel toyline. Now, with years between us and countless adaptations behind us - we are about to return to Eternia once again in summer 2026 for He-Man's second shot at box office power! So, this week FM is joined by the team behind Netflix's MOTU: Revelation & MOTU: Revolution and related content - writer/producers Rob David, Tim Sheridan & Ted Biaselli - to talk all things MOTU and share their mutual affection and appreciation for He-Man's feature film debut! An underrated and entirely lovable guilty pleasure. Good journey, Screening Roomers!

HI-HO, Screening Roomers! It's time to get things started on the TMSR podcast this morning as FM is joined by our good friend - actor/impressionist Piotr Michael - for a little electric mayhem in the Screening Room.

"DREAMSCAPING" with Yuri Lowenthal or "The David Patrick Kelly Appreciation Society"

It's time for demon wolves, radiated teenagers and one p-o'd Snake Man as actor Yuri Lowenthal returns to the TMSR with another one of his Cable Box Classics - the 1984 sci-fi horror thriller - DREAMSCAPE. And not only will he and FM try to prove that it is so much better than you remember it being, but also how underrated it is as one of the better political thrillers of the 1980s. But they will spend most of their time extolling the talents of character actor, David Patrick Kelly! Who is playing a version of Freddy Krueger in this film three-months before Freddy even hit theaters. One... two... David Patrick Kelly's coming for you...

Romy and Michele's High School Reunion with Cassandra Lee Morris

What's funnier than a 90s screwball comedy about two best friends who concoct a scheme to fool their former classmates into believing they are enormous successes by telling everyone at their 10-year high school reunion that they invented Post-Its... the fact that FM thought he had seen this movie hundreds of times. Turns out he had never seen it once. But thanks to actor Cassandra Lee Morris, he's discovering it for the first time on this week's episode of the TMSR as they discuss one of Cassandra's favorite films - 1997's ROMY AND MICHELE'S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION! Which also happens to be one of FM's new favorites! Thanks, Cassandra! Thanks, Romy & Michele! Thanks, Post-Its!
