Nine years had passed since Mike’s first dream of The Tall Man in 1979’s Phantasm. Now, thanks to the seemingly endless appetite of fans for horror franchises, “the ball is back”–with a 10x bigger budget! Under Universal Pictures there was more money, and a new actor as Mike. Does this ball shine greater than the original? Thanks to your donation to Now Playing Podcast you can join Arnie, Stuart, and Jakob to find out!

HASCON — it was Hasbro’s first attempt at running their own convention. But now it’s Hasbro’s game…Hasbro’s rules. What is a convention like without any vendor booths? What do you do at a Hasbro-con? And what does Flo Rida have to do with all this?
On this issue of Marvelicious Toys Arnie reports first-hand from Hascon, held in Providence, RI. He got to meet James Gunn, he got the exclusive figures, and he is here to tell you if HASCON ’18 should be a “must do” for you! Plus he also has an interview with the Hasbro Marvel brand team!
And next up–New York Comic-Con! The hosts run down the exclusives and prepare for that big event!
All this and plus a brewing rumble between Arnie and Justin in Marvel vs Capcom Infinite in this episode of Marvelicious Toys!

Three children were all born during the solar eclipse. Does that mean these little sociopaths have no soul? Their birthday wish…is for you to die! That’s the plot of Bloody Birthday, a 1981 film “so shocking” it couldn’t see wide release until 1986! How does this Birthday surprise stack up against similar-themed slashers? Wish co-host Stuart a happy birthday as we cut into this Patron-selected film!

Phantasm was a horror hit in 1979, standing out among a slew of Halloween horror trend followers. But Phantasm‘s success belied its indie production, shot on weekends for a meager $300,000 budget. The film’s legacy endures nearly 40 years later with a fifth film recently released. Does this first movie have the balls to still work decades after its release?

In 1974 Charles Bronson made his entry in the self-defense/revenge genre with Death Wish. The film is a gritty look at a New Yorker who is pushed to the breaking point by the city’s rampant crime. Based on a novel, is this just another grim exploitation flick, or does it Wish to be something more? Load up with Stuart, Arnie, and Jakob as they begin their series reviewing all the Death Wish films–ending with the Eli Roth/Bruce Willis reboot this November!

Marvel’s Inhumans are the result of combining alien DNA with humans. In that way they’re neither human nor alien, they’re inhuman. Likewise Marvel’s Inhumans is a halfbreed–it’s neither television nor film. It is the TV series pilot premiering this weekend on IMAX screens. Is it worth the IMAX ticket price to see a shorter version of network television four weeks early? Join Arnie, Stuart, and Jakob in this hair-raising review to find out!
This podcast will be out for general release on September 5th. It is available now to Now Playing Podbean Patrons. Support Now Playing and get exclusive bonus podcasts and early movie reviews! Details are on Now Playing’s Patron page.
