The Carnage Report Episode 79: Sinners

On this episode of the podcast, Julie and Nick take a look at director Ryan Coogler’s music-filled vampire film, Sinners, in theaters now. They also suggest a few other music-laden and/or siege films and play “Vampire, werewolf, or zombie?” Plus, the pair discuss trailers galore for M3GAN 2.0, Weapons, Bring Her Back, and more (all of which you can check out below) and bring on author Adam Cesare to discuss the upcoming film adaptation of his book, Clown in a Cornfield (in theaters May 9), and ask what got him into horror in an installment of The Gate.

Cinema Smorgasbord – Praising Kane – The Princess Bride (1987)

Our name is Praising Kane (the world’s greatest chronological Carol Kane podcast), you killed our fathers.. prepare to die! We’re finally moving into some iconic films in Carol’s oeuvre, and they don’t get much bigger than the 1987 fantasy-comedy-romance THE PRINCESS BRIDE, adapted from the beloved William Goldman book of the same name. Everyone loves it.. but did WE? Listen and find out. But before that we have a chat about the very first episode of the short-lived 1986 sitcom ALL IS FORGIVEN, featuring Carol Kane in a supporting role as the head writer of a beleaguered soap opera produced by the inexperienced Paula Russell (played by Bess Armstrong). I’m laughing already! And you’ll be laughing too once you start listening.

Cinema Smorgasbord – We Do Our Own Stunts – Cannonball Run II (1984)

Jackie Chan is back in Hollywood (against his better judgment) and is joining a cavalcade of stars including Burt Reynolds, Dom Deluise, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Marilu Henner, Shirley MaClaine and MANY MORE – including ol’ blue eyes himself Frank Sinatra – in the cross-country race (?) comedy (?) CANNONBALL RUN II which brings back all the things you know and love(?) about the first film, and.. well, that’s just about it. It’s pretty much the same thing. Except there’s an orangutan this time, and Jackie has been teamed up with Richard Kiel just to make sure we all know he’s extra small and (once again) bafflingly Japanese. Listen to Liam’s blood pressure rise in REAL TIME as he describes his time with the film. ENJOY!
