The Carnage Report Episode 83: Chattanooga Film Fest 2025

On this episode of the podcast, Julie and Nick take a look at everything they loved from the recent Chattanooga Film Fest, including Abigail Before Beatrice, Hot Spring Shark Attack, Crossword, Hacked: A Double Entendre of Rage Fueled Karma, and so, so many others. They also discuss their tips for beating the heat and humidity. Plus, the pair run down trailers galore for Stephen King adaptation The Institute, Shudder’s upcoming Monster Island, The Toxic Avenger reboot, and more (all of which you can check out below), while also taking a brief digression into the Marshawn Lynch corner.

Cinema Smorgasbord – Eric Roberts is the Man – Saved By The Light (1995) (/w Lance St. Laurent)

On an inspiring episode of ERIC ROBERTS IS THE MAN we’re joined by author, teacher and Jeopardy champ Lance St. Laurent to do a deep dive into the 1995 made-for-TV film SAVED BY THE LIGHT, based on a TRUE STORY where town jerk Dannion Brinkley was hit by lightning, died, and came back with MYSTERUOUS POWERS – including a heap of predictions for the future that just might have come true! WOW! Anyway, it’s a bunch of hooey, but let’s talk about it anyway. We pair that with all the latest Eric Roberts news (including an upcoming collaboration with Kevin Spacey (ugh) and some Killer Tomatoes (yay!)). It’s a packed show, so check it OUT!

Cinema Smorgasbord – How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? – Coffee and Cigarettes (2003)

On a smoky new episode of HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS? we’re slamming java and puffing darts with Jim Jarmusch in the all-star black and white anthology film COFFEE AND CIGARETTES. Spun off from a series of previous caffeine-drenched shorts (several of which are included here) from as early as the mid-80s, you get interesting collections of actors and musicians (RZA & GZA & Bill Murray! Steve Coogan and Alfred Molina! The White Stripes! Cate Blanchett!) pontificating about a variety of subjects while downing the titular combo. It’s all good fun, and you get to hear us talk about it, along with the latest Steve Buscemi news. Enjoy!
