On the Midnight Screening Podcast, co-hosts Eliza and Noah Janssen stay up past their bedtime to rot their brains with the very best (and the very worst) that genre cinema has to offer.
Whether it's comparing two films with some sort of tenuous connection on our double feature format episodes Twin Picks, diving deep into the the history of the genre with Midnight Marathons, or watching in awe/terror/confusion/annoyance at the biggest pieces of shit ever made in The Slop Bucket, there’s no film these creatures of the night aren’t ready to welcome into the family.
There's always time for one more movie...

Everybody say buongiorno to Michele Soavi — Italian horror’s lost little brother, who worked under big names like Argento and Fulci before basically quitting the genre in the mid 90s.
Before all that, tho, the director put out flamboyant, stylish scarers like THE CHURCH (1989) and loveable horror-comedy CEMETERY MAN (1994), both of which we’re diving into today.
The movies are jam-packed with ideas, from spectacular effects only shown onscreen for seconds to provocatively odd or poignant narrative themes. Also bizarre, ribald digressions that a less daring filmmaker would omit. (Rupert Everett begging a doctor to remove his wang? Neat)
Soavi is a name worth knowing, even if his filmography never got to blossom into its full potential. Get into it miei amici! Nga!!

NEXT EPISODE = Midnight Marathon: I, FRANKENSTEIN x FRANKENSTEIN UNBOUND // The Modern Prometheus Part 3
22 Apr 2026
Midnight Marathon: FRANKENSTEIN (2025) x THE BRIDE! // The Modern Prometheus Part 1
oops, too many frankensteins!! noah and eliza are the modern podmetheus in this electrifying midnight marathon, taking a look at just six of the HUNDREDS of film adaptations of mary shelley’s 1818 novel.
Guillermo del Toro’s lavish, fussy FRANKENSTEIN and Maggie Gyllenhaal’s quirked up THE BRIDE! remix were both released over the last 6 months or so. the monster is still alive in the (bolt-studded) brains of filmmakers and audiences 200 years on from its unholy invention
The gang get to monster MASHIN in this introductory marathon chapter, sewing together the rotten parts of 2 highly personal and flawed adaptations… did GDT just get around to making his shelley movie way too late ? what is a brain attack?
come up to da lab and see what’s on the slab - four frankensteins to go!!
