The Gargyle Podcast - Event Horizon

What do Happy Death Day, Event Horizon, Knoxville Horror Film Festival, and Chattanooga Film Festival have in common??  Well, aside from horror, they are all talked about on tonight's episode of The Gargyle Podcast!!

The majority of the podcast is an analysis/review of Event Horizon, but Eric and I also have a brief discussion about Happy Death Day and talk about how awesome the Chattanooga Film Festival and the Knoxville Horror Film Festival are!!

Eric and I both agree that Event Horizon is an awesome sci-fi movie with some absolutely horrifying elements...that aren't quite actualized as well as they could have been.  So, join us as we dive into what worked, and what didn't, in Event Horizon!!

The Gargyle Podcast - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Adam and I are back at it again with the next episode in our coverage of the Harry Potter series!  In tonight's episode, we discuss (among other things):  the interaction of horror and child-like wonder and fantasy, whether the giant frogs in the choir are singing or being played like instruments, our interpretations of J. K. Rowling's infusion of social and political commentary into her stories, and the intentionality of cgi hippogriff poop.

While each episode in our Harry Potter series will primarily focus on the specific movie that was just watched, there will be conversations about how the movie deviates from the book, references to information from previous movies/books, discussions about events that take place later in the series, and comparisons to events in other series/franchises.  So, consider this your general spoiler warning.  But, if you've already seen/read all of Harry Potter, then watch out for hippogriff droppings and give your time turner a turn or two for our analysis of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban!!

The Gargyle Podcast - Phantasm & Phantasm II

The podcast is about to begin...sir! 

There is something so awesome and inherently creepy about Phantasm, but it can be kind of difficult to discern exactly why.  So, on tonight's episode, Eric and I discuss mental health, sex and violence, loss of humanity through technology, and the fear of the unknown in our analysis of Phantasm & Phantasm II in an attempt to explain it!!


You play a good game boy, but now it's time...to listen!

The Gargyle Podcast - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

After a little time off for the holidays, Adam and I are back with the next episode in our coverage of the Harry Potter series!  In tonight's episode, we discuss (among other things):  the ethical treatment of house elves, why Hogwart's kept the Slytherin house (despite Salazar Slytherin's view on racial purity), and the impact of the discrepancies between book and movie.  Plus, Adam makes several innocent comments that are taken wildly out of context.

While each episode in our Harry Potter series will primarily focus on the specific movie that was just watched, there will be conversations about how the movie deviates from the book, references to information from previous movies/books, discussions about events that take place later in the series, and comparisons to events in other series/franchises.  So, consider this your general spoiler warning.  But, if you've already seen/read all of Harry Potter, then grab a handful of flue powder, and meet me and Adam in Diagon Alley for our analysis of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets!!

The Gargyle Podcast - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

A few weeks ago, Adam and I podcasted about our time at CONjuration.  While CONjuration is a con for all things magical, it grew out of a love for the Harry Potter and much of the con does revolve around the Harry Potter series.  Consequently, a good portion of the conversation that Adam and I had on that podcast also revolved around Harry Potter.  In fact, we were enjoying the conversation so much that we kept talking about it even after we stopped recording.

So, we decided to prolong our conversations about Harry Potter by doing a series of podcasts on the films.  Over the next several months, Adam and I will be rewatching the films together and then podcasting about our thoughts, questions, and analyses of the films and books.

While each episode will primarily focus on the specific movie that was just watched, there will be conversations about how the movie deviates from the book, reference to information from previous movies/books, and discussions about events that take place later in the series.  These podcasts will NOT be spoiler free.  So, consider this your general spoiler warning.  But, if you've already seen/read all of Harry Potter, then hop aboard the Hogwart's Express with me and Adam as we dive into Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone!



If you enjoy this episode, be sure to keep checking back for our next episode in our Harry Potter series.  And if you love Harry Potter, or all things magical and fantasy, check out our coverage of CONjuration (year 1 - part 1, year 1 - part 2, year 2, year 3, year 4)!  And if you enjoy movies, conventions, comics, games, cartoons, horror, or just about anything geeky...be sure to check back soon for all things geekery!!  In the meantime, follow me here, on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, and YouTube.  And be sure to subscribe to my podcast on iTunes and/or Google Play for more geek coverage!!
