Rounding up the Month of Horrors were take to task two films, both alike in nature, but one (the original) is better than its remake. These films are [Rec], the 2006 film by Juame Balaguero and Paco Plaza, and Quarantine, the 2008 America remake by John Eric Dowdle.
Both films follow the host of While You Were Sleeping and her cameraman as they follow a squad of firefighters. The squad is called to assist with an injured old woman, but find themselves stuck inside of an apartment complex that is being terrorized by the unknown.
It’s the differences that make and break the films. What are they? Well, listen to find out.
Mark and Mindy also briefly discuss the Doctor Who spinoff Torchwood and a documentary about the audition process for 42nd Street.

As Mark and Mindy get halfway through the month of horrors, they tackle one of Mindy’s favorite films - Tod Browning’s 1932 masterpiece Freaks. The film follows a group of circus sideshow performers who just want to be accepted as normal. When a vindictive trapeze artist and her strongman lover try to take advantage of the sideshow performers, the group decides to fight back.
The episode also features a fun-filled discussion of the new film Zombieland, which both Mark and Mindy absolutely love! Check it and Freaks out today!

We continue our month long tribute to horror flicks, with a trip to the past, as we discuss the 1920 classic silent film, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. This is a movie that clearly influenced many a director for years after it’s debut.
Mark talks briefly about Zombieland, and Paranormal Activity. Mindy talks about the awesometastic Toy Story 1 and 2, in 3D.

The greatest month of all the year (in Mindy’s opinion, at least) kicks off with a great little horror comedy from 2004, called Hatchet.
This delightful romp follows a group of tourists on a ghostly swamp tour outside of New Orleans. Unfortunately, the ghost is all too real, and the group finds themselves running for their lives. The gore is a bit over the top, but it’s so fun and far-fetched, you don’t even mind.
Plus, after the show, Mark talks a little Sunshine Cleaning, and Mindy dishes on season 6 of Scrubs.
Hatchet is the first in our Month of Horrors, and we hope you enjoy the spooky month of films we have in store for you.

Special guest Joseph (Ultact on the interwebs) introduces Mindy and reintroduces Mark to the 1994 Australian comedy The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
Priscilla follows two drag queens and a transsexual who travel across Australia on their way to a performance in a small resort town. The film features fantastic performances from Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce and Terence Stamp. Woven into the earthy color of the Australian outback are beautiful, vibrant costumes, which garnered the film an Oscar for costume design.
The group also talk briefly about Joss Whedon’s Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, the British horror-comedy Psychoville, the Paris Hilton horror Repo! The Genetic Opera and The Wackness.
If you want to comment or have any awesome ideas for future episodes, as Joseph did, please email us at thedevilandmissmindy@gmail.com or comment here. Follow us on Twitter at DaMM_U for any news about the show.
Enjoy!

Join us this week as Mark and Mindy discuss the 1999 film, October Sky. directed by Joe Johnston. This movie stars Chris Cooper, Laura Dern, and Jake Gyllenhaal. It’s the true story of Homer Hickam Jr., and is based on the book he wrote, called Rocket Boys. Homer longs for something more than life in a mining town can offer. One night in October, he and the people of his town see Sputnik fly overhead, and nothing is ever the same after that. So join us for some great performances, and cool tunes of an era gone by. Along the way, we experience some audio problems that actually turn out hilarious! Thank you, mute button, and Neveah!
We also go over some listener mail, discuss District 9, and Inglourious Basterds.

This week, Mindy’s favorite Hollywood couple reunites to bring George Cukor’s 1949 film Adam’s Rib to life.
Adam’s Rib, inspired by a true court case, has couple Adam and Amanda Bonner (Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn respectively) squaring off in the courtroom with Amanda defending Doris Attinger (Judy Holliday) and Adam on the side of Doris’ cheating husband, Warren (Tom Ewell). The tension from the courtroom bleeds into the Bonner’s personal lives creating a dramatic, yet humorous tale that is relevant to this very day.
Also, Mark and MIndy discuss the new films District 9 and Inglourious Basterds.
