We might have taken the week off here at The Hollywood Outsider, but that does not mean we do not have quality podcast entertainment to offer!

In additions to our reviews of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and Baywatch, we selected three of our most popular topics so far this year and combined them into on mammoth episode.

We begin with binge-worthy TV shows, then a bit of necessary Oscar changes, and finally we discuss how television has changed since we were children. If you are new to the show, here is a highlight reel of what listeners enjoyed earlier in the year, and if you are a long-time listener, enjoy three of your favorite topics all on one episode!

Join in on our conversation and listen to the latest episode of The Hollywood Outsider.

Be Afraid follows John and Heather Chambers (Brian Krause, Jaimi Paige), shortly after relocating to a small town in Pennsylvania. After he initially seems to experience sleep paralysis, John begins to discover that his home is being targeted by ominous beings lurking in the shadows, seemingly led by a nefarious figure known only as The Hat Man. Fearing for his family's safety, John dives into a complex history of mysterious local disappearances which may lead to a secret this town never wants revealed.

Drew Gabreski's latest film, Be Afraid, carries with it an intriguing concept revolving around the deep history and lore of "shadow people". This phenomenon - which revolves around those unique moments when we catch a flicker of movement in the corner of our eye only to discover nothing is present - continues to grow around the world. Skeptics believe these "shadows" are mere flights of an overactive imagination, while more open-minded intellectuals theorize they could be anything from ghosts to interdimensional beings to even time travelers.

Whatever they are, as he discusses in our exclusive interview, Drew was directly affected by visions of a so-called "Hat Man" as a child. These memories prompted him to work with screenwriter Gerald Nott on a shared vision of how a story in this world could be brought to life on film. Drew elaborates on those experiences, as well as the journey the film took from the initial stages at After Dark to its current release on VOD.

An intriguing interview with a new talent on-the-rise, take a listen to our interview with director, Drew Gabreski.

Be Afraid releases digitally and On Demand June 1, 2017.

Television shows, unlike podcasts, typically cannot run all year long. Therefore, at the end of every season, we are graced with what’s known as the “Season Finale”, that last episode that is supposed to both complete the current year, while also teasing next year’s storyline.

Sometimes these season finales work, often times they leave us throwing darts at our TV sets. So this week, we decided to break down what makes for a great season finale, as well as what our all-time favorite for a season ender is.

We also discuss our most annoying TV clichés, what college movie parties we wish we were invited to, and even some movie news.  

Join in on our conversation and listen to the latest episode of The Hollywood Outsider.

As we pick up with Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy in Vol. 2, The Sovereign – an uptight race of golden dipped genetic perfection – have commissioned them to defend a platform from ill-intended creatures. In true Guardians fashion, the recently-formed family of mercenaries manages to simultaneously save the day and piss off those they are protecting. After fleeing impending doom, the team comes across Peter’s dad, Ego, who holds to key to Star-Lord's heritage, a mystery that tantalized us at the end of the first film. From this point, Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket, Groot, and Drax are forced to once again save the universe, this time with some new and unlikely teammates in the form of Yondu and Nebula.

Take a listen to this special episode of The Hollywood Outsider as we fly deep into the heart of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and all the secrets contained within.

Ya know who always gets the shaft when we’re talking about movie heroes? Sidekicks. That’s right, those rough-and-tumble heroes and heroines who might not have the title of the film, but they help save the world just the same. Through their own toughness, nobility, sometimes even flippant disdain for protocol, these are the ones who keep our heroes honest.

With Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 finally hitting theaters, we felt now is the perfect time for our latest Movie Battle Royale! So we dive into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and debate who is ultimately the greatest sidekick to compliment the heroes of the MCU. Black Widow? Vision? Rocket Raccoon? Eight sidekicks enter our ring this week, and only one will emerge as the Greatest Sidekick EVER!

Later on in the show, we also discuss our personal picks for movies this summer. From Most Anticipated Overall to Most Anticipated Disappointment, these are our the films we’re most excited and terrified for.
