Episode 11 - You Can't Kill The Boogeyman... But You Can Poke His Eye Out (Halloween, 1978 review)
This week on Movies After Midnight, Night Owl Jones heads to Haddonfield to revisit John Carpenter’s Halloween (1978), the horror classic that helped define the slasher genre and introduced the world to Michael Myers, a William Shatner mask, and the worst babysitting gig in cinematic history. We talk all about Carpenter’s masterful use of suspense, Donald Pleasence’s wonderfully unhinged Dr. Loomis, Jamie Lee Curtis’s star-making performance, and why Michael Myers is so terrifying precisely b...

Episode 10 - Most Backrooms I've Seen Have Had a Casting Couch - Backrooms (2026) Review
For Episode 10 of Movies After Midnight, we're leaving the cozy confines of my basement recliner and heading into the Backrooms. Kane Parsons takes his bizarre internet phenomenon from YouTube to the big screen with Backrooms, a movie that starts with a mysterious yellow hallway and gets progressively stranger from there. I went into this one with basically no knowledge of the Backrooms beyond what I'd seen in the trailer, and somehow came out the other side having watched the movie three tim...

This week on Movies After Midnight, we’re talking about Milly Alcock’s turn as Kara Zor-El, Jason Momoa’s Lobo, Krypto the superpowered good boy, Ruthye’s quest for revenge, and why Krem might be one of the weakest villains we’ve encountered in superhero movies. We also get into the movie’s reported behind-the-scenes creative differen...

We start by talking about what actually makes a cult classic, from The Rocky Horror Picture Show and The Evil Dead to The Thing and Killer Klowns from Outer Space, and how the death of video stores, cable TV, and the rise of streaming have changed the way movies become cult favorites. ...

Episode 7 - Three Hollywood Pariahs Walk Into A Bar - Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005) Review
This week on Movies After Midnight, Night Owl Jones returns to the basement to break down 2005’s Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. We dig into how three major Hollywood pariahs at the time (writer Shane Black, Robert Downey Jr., and Val Kilmer) came together against all odds to pull off this neo-noir. We break it all down, from the $15 million budget and Joel Silver taking a chance to a dead girl in a bathtub, an accidental Russian roulette execution, and a truly logic-defying highway shootout. Plus, we d...
