Jake & Pete’s Movie Talk is a film podcast where two friends from opposite sides of the Atlantic meet in the middle to talk movies they love (and possibly hate). Humor, opinions, and sweet nostalgia.
This week on Movie Talk Roundtable, Pete and Jake are joined by Brandon to talk about one of his all-time favorites in the horror genre: Candyman (1992).
We get into Tony Todd’s surprisingly limited screen time, Virginia Madsen’s standout performance, Philip Glass’s killer score, the real-world history of Cabrini-Green, and whether Candyman actually works as a horror villain once you start asking too many questions about the rules.
Brandon comes prepared to defend a movie he’s been watching for decades, Pete encounters it properly for the first time, and Jake just wants to know who’s really looking after baby Anthony.

Children of the Corn (1984)
Jake, Pete, and Brandon kick a month of horror classics with Children of the Corn from 1984!
For Jake and Brandon, this one comes with a lot of history. Back in college, they spent an entire day marathoning seven Children of the Corn movies instead of doing anything remotely normal with their lives. Twenty years later, they return to Gatlin to find out whether the original still holds up.
Along the way, the boys ask the important questions: how are these children maintaining thousands of acres of corn? Why does Burt keep leaving Vicky alone? And what happens if one of these kids was born on February 29th?
There’s plenty of nostalgia, some genuine appreciation for Isaac and Malachai and the gradual realization that maybe some movies are better left in your rose colored memories.
Join Jake, Pete, and Brandon for Children of the Corn.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
This week on Movie Talk Roundtable, Jake, Pete, and Brandon take on Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
Pete brings the Trek background, Brandon comes in as the outsider asking why half of this stuff makes any sense, and Jake tries to figure out whether the movie is actually about Khan, Kirk getting old, or Ricardo Montalbán’s completely real chest.
We get into the Kobayashi Maru, Kirk’s refusal to button his shirt, the movie’s obsession with Moby-Dick, and whether Khan is actually the super-intelligent villain the movie keeps telling us he is.
Set phasers to stun and join us for The Wrath of Khan.
