  • The Phantom Of The Opera (1925)

    The Phantom Of The Opera (1925)
    Oct 18 2024
    We can't stay silent about the classic 1925 version of The Phantom of the Opera. From Lon Chaney's iconically inhuman make-up to his all-too-human performance, the film still thrills and chills nearly 100 years later. We're joined once again by writer/director of The Canyon, Alex Sosin, to venture into the depths below the Paris opera house and revel in the true face of what dwells within. Check out the teaser for The Canyon here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFFWbNbdtKA And if you want to watch The Canyon in its entirety check it out at the Twin Cities Film Festival or stream it here: https://twincitiesfilmfest.org/film-fest-movie/the-canyon/ To watch Phantom of the Opera itself (the version we're referring to in the cast) watch it here: https://youtu.be/TUamUHcxMVY?si=VpW4QjvN0tMfpaJJ And if you want bonus Phantom '25 content, please subscribe to our friend Jala Prendes' podcast, Jala-Chan's Place, to hear us delve into the notable production and film preservation issues surrounding the film. That companion episode will release on October 25.

  • Return to Oz

    Return to Oz
    Oct 14 2024
    Somewhere over the rainbow skies aren't blue, and the nightmares you dare to dream really do come true. Return to Oz ramps up the horror elements in L. Frank Baum's second and third Oz books to child-traumatizing extremes in this 1985 hidden gem about hidden gems. Writer/director of horror short "The Canyon" Alex Sosin joins us as we lose our heads over this terrifying classic. Check out the teaser for The Canyon here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFFWbNbdtKA And if you want to watch The Canyon in its entirety check it out at the Twin Cities Film Festival or stream it here: https://twincitiesfilmfest.org/film-fest-movie/the-canyon/ If you have feedback, find us on the socials here: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/265036650022926/ The symbol formerly known as Twitter: @nostalgiumpod BlueSky: @nostalgiumpod.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.net/@nostalgiumarcanum_ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nostalgiumarcanum_/ Be sure to follow us on Instagram in particular since that's where we post bonus content, and on TikTok (@nostalgiumarcanum) for Doug's impressions.

  • Killer Klowns From Outer Space

    Killer Klowns From Outer Space
    Oct 7 2024
    Send in the Klowns, from light years away. Killer Klowns From Outer Space remains a kampy konfection of 1980s klassic horror that still thrills and chills with big top bombast. We're joined by comedians Rich Baker and Merry Mary Hynes to praise this film's tightrope-walking silliness that's as tasty as cotton candy and only slightly less deadly.
