Talking SCORED TO DEATH with J. Blake Fichera

From the Ki Ki Ki's to the Dance Macabres, scores have been an essential part of the horror landscape since the days of Nosferatu. So why is the composer so often overlooked when we share our love for these classics? On this episode we welcome to the show author and podcast host J. Blake Fichera, here to talk about his new book Scored To Death 2, his second round of interviews with the Masters Of Scorror (We're sorry, Blake). In a lovely chat, we pick his brain on the scores that influenced both him and Hollywood, the role of the score in all genres of filmmaking, and his desire to spotlight composers big and small, with everyone from John Carpenter to Jay Chattaway.

DUNE (2021) Commentary Track

As they say on Salusa Secundus, Cody's dreams are messages from the derp. *insert horrible god language* And if any of that nonsense sounded familiar, then boy do we have three hours for you! Damn your own personal spice as you join Baron Cody Drinkonnen, Michael'Dib, and Euphoria's Zendaya as Jami, while they record a BOP n' A Movie thought unrecordable on the film thought unfilmable! Battling public apathy, a pandemic, and production woes longer than most cast members have been alive, Denis Villeneuve's Frank Herbert's Dune: Part One had no reason to be the surprise hit it was, and the crew spend this commentary discussing the ways this story of political corruption, environmental disorder, and an existing order crumbling under the weight of insurrection just might have struck a cord witb people! Along their journey through the desert they touch on the ground-breaking effects work, the polarizing sex appeal of the Kwisatz Haderach, and Duncan Idaho cuckolding the Tyrant God of Arrakis.

COLOR OUT OF SPACE

From the cthonic dank of the interwebs comes a podcast of most immemorial effulgence! An innumerably indescribable discussion on a frenzied blaze of cosmic daemonicum! Okay, we'll stop now. But in our defense, we're just so darn excited to talk up the madness of one Howard Phillip Lovecraft! Recently, in some glorious begotten miracle from the Great Old Ones, the legend himself, Richard Stanley, returned to filmmaking after 20-plus years with an absolutely mind-bending adaptation of one of Lovecraft's greatest and most terrifying, COLOR OUT OF SPACE! So, join us as we dissect the horror Lovecraftian horror, what Stanley added from an allegorical standpoint, and how Nic Cage is not the meme you think he is.

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2 Commentary Track

The Boy Who Lived... has come to die... And Box Office Pulp has come to graduate from Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! Many werewolf full moons ago we took off in Hagrid's side car on a quest that took us from a cupboard under the stairs, to one of the greatest cinematic worlds ever produced, all to plumb the intricacies and artistry of a once in a lifetime series that actually stuck a landing! And boy, what a landing. BOP 'n A Movie opens at the close to provide a feature commentary for HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART TWO! The, at times, tragic, but often triumphant culmination of a franchise that many, literally, grew up on. As for our final word on J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World and all those who put their blood, sweat, tears, and tolerance of Dobby into bringing it to life? Always.

Tales From The BOP: THE SNOWMAN

Mister Police. You could have saved yourself from watching this movie. I gave you all the reviews. But still you did. Still you watched due to the promise of Michael Fassbender battling a Snowman themed serial killer. Now look at you, a shadow of your former self. But luckily, for the rest of you, one member of the BOP Crew has turned his soul crushing viewing experience into this spine-tingler of a TALES FROM THE BOP! All in hope you don't meet his same twig-armed fate! This time, Mike weaves for Cody and Jamie, a story of Charlotte Gainsbourg dry humping our lead actor, a Dubbed Val Kilmer growling in a tub, scenes that play our perilously without any sense of rhythm or connection to plot, and a director who has disowned his own film! Allow me to introduce you all to the botched adaptation of the worldwide best-selling novel... THE SNOWMAN!

READY PLAYER ONE

A podcaster who hates his podcast. A hidden cameo, and tangents not forecast. Click the link, ignore our past, and this episode of BOP will be yours at last! As you can tell by CGI Cody feeding you wizard riddles, The Crew is logging on to The Oasis to talk Steven Spielberg's ode to pop culture - READY PLAYER ONE! We dig into the film's surprisingly nuanced approach to nostalgia, compare Ernest Cline's book to Zak Penn's nearly unrecognizable script, debate whether Wade Watts is a nice guy or a "Nice Guy", and remind ourselves periodically that, yes, Steven Spielberg directed scenes with THOSE characters.

If our spooky executioner hoods haven't scared you off yet, you should come join us this balmy summer night circa 1969 as we watch this often-forgotten true crime epic. Just be wary of any strangers stepping out of the darkness.
