This episode of The DVD Infatuation Podcast was produced by Jason Pyles.

During Episode 077 of THE WEEKLY WATCHLIST for Considering the Cinema, your hosts Jason Pyles (aka Jay of the Dead), Mack Robins (aka Mackula), and the esteemed host of The DVD Infatuation Podcast, Dave “Dr. Shock” Becker, discuss Jay’s mental illness of intentionally purchasing multiple versions of films he loves — simply because he loves them. True mental illness. We also spend time learning about Mack’s reckoning and determining of his “birthday” movies, so break out your abacus for that one! And Dave tells us of a World War II film that he deems to be “a Masterpiece”! Join us!

Note: This episode was recorded on Aug. 6, 2024, and it released on September 21, 2024.

THE WEEKLY WATCHLIST is the type of episode where we simply talk about whatever we’ve been watching lately from our own, personal watchlists. Here’s how it works: Jay, Mack and Dave have zero “movie-watching homework.” We are completely free each week to watch whatever we want from any era, year, genre, country, etc! We can finally go through our own personal watchlists and catch up with the films we’ve been meaning to see. So, every week will be vastly different. Let us know what you think of this format.

Jay of the Dead also hosts a WEEKLY HORROR MOVIE PODCAST with Mister Watson at Horror Movie Weekly.com. And of course, every Horror fan should check out Jay of the Dead’s New Horror Movies, The Gold Standard of Horror Movie Podcasts.
