On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, it’s Halloween, and as we have done in the past for Halloween and Christmas, we like to put out a bit of a compilation of favorite topics or interviews from years past that celebrate these specific holidays. So for Halloween, let's discuss vampires, monsters, demonic possession, and the dos and don'ts of horror movies! First up, with SINNERS taking a bite out of theaters this year, it felt time to revisit the concept of vampires. Most importantly, are vampires scary? For decades fear of the undead has been a driving force of countless Hollywood movies and TV shows. But are they actually terrifying? Then we keep the talk going as we dive into the concept of monster movies, specifically what makes for a great one. We also debate what actually constitutes a monster movie – does Jason or Freddy count, and what about werewolves or vampires – and our favorite memories while watching them. Next up is our Horror Movie Survival Guide! 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 Dos and Don’ts 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! Finally, we end on demonic possession. Specifically, are demonic possession movies even still scary? Does this notion of an otherworldly force occupying our bodies work in a cynically jaded society? Do your personal beliefs amplify or decrease your fear? It’s an intriguing discussion as we take out the crucifix and take a jab at this topic. Discussed on this episode

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, once again streaming networks have cancelled shows and left us with TV cliffhangers, such as Prime's Countdown and Butterfly. Therefore, it's far time we demanded that they stop ending shows that aren't renewed with cliffhangers and give fans story resolutions. But how do we make them pay attention? Also, Jared Leto isn't a movie star, M. Night Shyamalan shakes his Magic 8 Ball. Plus, reviews of Good Fortune, The Mastermind, The Wilderness, and more!

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, Apple TV's new series The Last Frontier has arrived, and it prompted a conversation about the impact of filming locations. The locations we have seen on film or TV that prompted us to travel the country or the world and see more of it, and why. Following that up, we have our review of The Last Frontier, Apple's crime thriller where U.S. Marshall Frank Remnick (Jason Clarke) pursues a group of escaped convicts in an Alaskan wilderness, with Haley Bennett and Alfre Woodard involved to elaborate a potential conspiracy in what brought the plane down in the first place. Joining us to discuss his new series, is The Last Frontier creator Jon Bokenkamp (The Blacklist) in an interview that discusses why he created a series set in Alaska (along with Richard D'Ovidio), where the show is headed, and much more! That's not all! We also have Troy's review of the latest entry into the grid - TRON: ARES! Click here for more info on our 2026 Alaskan Cruise! Discussed on this episode
