We tackle our listener questions this week as we hit a trifecta of topics!

First up - What books do we still wish would desperately be turned into films? Every book you can imagine has been adapted, yet there are always a few we're still waiting on.

Next up - Comedy pairings. There are so many pairings in film and television, actors grouped together in order to make us laugh hysterically...in theory. So, who are the BEST comedy pairings? We tackle this enormous topic, and also offer our picks for the worst comedy teams.

Lastly - Origin stories. They're everywhere. Not only are they everywhere, they're happening for characters whose origins we already know full and well. What is the obsession with origin stories in Hollywood? Does every character need his motivations explained?

Of course we have news, reviews, and even more – So join in on our conversation and listen to the latest episode of The Hollywood Outsider!

Our topic this week: The HO Guide To Surviving Horror Movies

We’re just as sick of characters doing stupid things in horror movies as you are, so we decided to compile a list of all of the Do’s and Don’t’s of horror flicks. For every DON’T do that we scream at the screen, we’re offering the correct solution of what to DO! It’s time movie characters learned the errors of their ways, and we’re here to teach them!

Of course we have news, reviews, and even more – So join in on our conversation and listen to the latest episode of The Hollywood Outsider!

Our topic this week: Back to the Future and Movies – 30 Years Later.

October symbolizes the ‘future’ in Marty McFly’s timeline (specifically October 21st), so we decided to reflect back on that classic film, why the Back to the Future series has endured for so long, and even reminisce on where we thought we would all be in 2015.

Our topic this week: Ghost Movies – Why do we love them? Supernatural films are everywhere, and people just love them. From Paranormal Activity, to The Ring, to The Conjuring, to Poltergeist – Audiences love movies centered around ghosts…but why?

We discuss the obsession with ghostly films and why we continue to pay to see the same stories over and over. We also discuss do we actually believe in the supernatural ghouls, or do we think it is all make believe?

For this episode of The Hollywood Outsider Movie Podcast, we discuss two completely different listener topics:

First up – What are some of our favorite badly translated movie titles? When American films travel abroad, they are often retitled, and sometimes those titles are just a wee bit different than you would think. We discuss some of the most hysterical that we’ve found.

Next up is digital vs. physical media. Many people feel very strongly about this topic, one way or the other. There are those who prefer to build a Blu-ray or DVD collection of enormous proportions, while there are others who prefer to have everything via iTunes or Flixster. We discuss the pros and cons of this debate, as well as some of our listener’s thoughts.

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