The Traumatic Cinematic Halloween Variety Show Spectacular
In honor of this Most Wonderful Time of the Year, when the boundaries between worlds are at their thinnest, The Traumatic Cinematic Podcast presents exactly 66 minutes and 6 seconds of spooky (and, in one noteworthy instance, sexy) stories from the absolute best in modern podcasting. Join our Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde of a host Lewis (@GenXnerd *MuGumBo*) Cougill, Mike (@Greymattersplat) Wickliff, Jon (@AfterMovieDiner) Cross, Moe (@DrunkonVHS) Porne, Sexy (@DirtybitPodcast) Sherry, Corey (@WizemenFilms) Miller, and, of course, me – your humble narrator – as we fuse the best parts of Old and New Schools into one great big pulsating, ulcerated mass of ear-candy.
Obligatory warning, so no one can say I didn’t give you one: this podcast contains explicit situations described in explicit language. Explicitly. Listener discretion is advised…because none of us want to find out how prudish you really are.
A Podcast From the After Movie Diner’s Strikes Again
To honor of this most horrorderful time of the year, I revisit friend of the show(s) Jon Cross’ After Movie Diner to discuss The Evil Dead, Evil Clergyman, Lords of Salem, The Thing, Tremors, Godzilla, Dracula, Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, Ju-On, Audition, Zaat, The Howling, Howling 2 Your Sister is a Werewolf/Striba, Werewolf Bitch “and” as he aptly puts it, “MANY more.” With extra special guest: Jon’s wife, Theodora, whose blog you should visit often.
The Traumatic Cinematic Podcast – Hitichcocktober Episode III – Revenge of the Creepy Guys
In this third installment of Traumatic Cinematic’s celebration of Alfred Hitchcock, we discuss my third favorite film of 1951, Strangers on a Train – and the many, many films it went on to inspire. Including Danny DeVito’s feature film debut, 1987’s Throw Momma from the Train. Visit Traumatic Cinematic on Facebook, follow Traumatic Cinematic on Twitter, send your hate mail to TraumaticCinematic [at] gmail [dot] com and tell all your friends about the show.
The Traumatic Cinematic Podcast: Hitchcocktober Episode II – Attack of the Knowledge
Once again, the Traumatic Cinematic Show plumbs the depths of Alfred Hitchcock’s filmography, discussing 1956’s The Man Who Knew Too Much…which inevitably brings up 1934’s Man Who Knew Too Much, and how remakes in general don’t have to suck. This, as you might imagine, gets terribly serious. So we’ve counterbalanced it with a discussion of Bill Murray’s 1997’s vehicle, The Man Who Knew Too Little. And then I go a little crazy, but I hope you’ll all understand. I’ve done my best to document my problems with 1997 and we’ll have another opportunity to go over them very soon. Until then, visit Traumatic Cinematic on Facebook, follow Traumatic Cinematic on Twitter, send your hate mail to TraumaticCinematic [at] gmail [dot] com and tell all your friends about me and my friends, and how we get together once a week to talk about movies.
The Traumatic Cinematic Podcast: Hitchcocktober Episode I – The Phantom Sequel
Hitchcocktober – our month-long celebration/exploration/exculpation of Alfred Hitchcock’s films – begins! Join the Traumatic Cinematic crew as we discuss 1960’s sub-genre creating masterpiece, Psycho, and it’s surprisingly-better-than-I-remembered-though-perhaps-my-standards-have-lowered-since-I-saw-it-last sequel, 1983’s Psycho 2.

The Traumatic Cinematic Podcast vs. Peter Jackson (Part The First)
I’ll tell you, a part of me twitched and spasmed with joy when I found out I’d be discussing Meet the Feebles and Dead Alive (that’s Brain Dead if you live in a civilized country) with my fellow devotees of early Jacksonian cinema MuGumBo and Mike “@GreyMatterSplat/Rondo Hatton” Wickliff. Not that the Takeshi Miike and Raid episodes weren’t awesome…but for me, any opportunity to discuss Early Jackson is another order of awesome entirely. I figure we could spin at least two more podcasts out of his pre-Fellowship work alone. You could do worse than give us…oh, say…five hundred million or so dollars so we can go make that happen. Or you could rate and review the show on your podcast network of choice and force it upon all your friends. Bodily, if necessary.

Revenge of The Traumatic Cinematic Podcast
In this, the thirty-second episode of Traumatic Cinematic, I re-join hosts MuGumbo and Mike (@Greymattersplat) Wickliff to discuss the especially traumatizing, but surprisingly varied, career of Takeshi Miike, director of (among many other things) Audition, Hara-kiri: Death of a Samurai and 13 Assassins. As before, we used this as our excuse to discuss many other wonderful things, such as: remakes that don’t suck, the Great Late-90s Wave of Asian Horror that Audition and Miike rode to glory, and the state of modern international cinema in general. All this and more can nestle safely inside your brain, either through the player above or your favorite mobile device, once you’ve downloaded the episode through the link below.

Return of The Traumatic Cinematic Podcast
Having had so much fun with the Dark Knight Rises episode, we triumphantly returned to The Traumatic Cinematic Show to discuss the two hours of glorious pain that is The Raid: Redemption (plus whatever else we come up with to distract ourselves). Join the incomparable Lewis “McGumbo” Cougill, the excellent Mike “GreyMatterSplat” Wickliff, and me, Your Humble Narrator, as our ramblings bless your heathen ears.

A Podcast from the After Movie Diner Rises
Because there’s no such thing as too much Batman, my superhero expertise and I joined the incomparable Jon X of The After Movie Diner to discuss the whole of Chris Nolan’s trilogy, from the Bat’s humble Beginnings to his still-recent Rise.
