He reflects on his psoriasis journey, the power of small joys, and why loving yourself first isn’t a cliché—it’s essential. Plus, a deep dive into the history of La Roche-Posay’s legendary spring.

Happy Holidays from DRtL! This time, Jennifer Lovely is welcoming the inestimable Jordan Crucchiola: journalist, movie buff, and now podcaster! They sit down to talk Korean cinema, some fave holiday flicks, and then get down to brass tacks with Jordan’s picks: Event Horizon and Doctor Sleep. This one’s a doozy of a conversation full of great info and analysis, though I am slightly offended Jordan didn’t call out an actor that I think is very underrated in Hollywood: Jack Noseworthy. Catch up with all of Jordan’s projects on her Twitter or on her Patreon ! Enjoy the feast!…

Hey everyone, sorry about being late but there were some audio issues I was trying to fix. It’s not perfect, but I think it’s pretty good now. Which is a shame, because this episode is pretty damn good if I say so in my completely unbiased opinion! This week’s guest is the fabulous actor and director Abie Ekenezar, and there’s not even a What Have You Watched segment, they just jump right into talking about the PNW film scene, Get Out, and Lovecraft Country. You can find her and get updates on her current projects on pretty much any social media as @babsek79 . Hope you all enjoy!…

Hello horror fans, in this episode Rhias Hall and Jennifer Lovely invite you to get off their lawn, as they talk about their favorite films that don’t have any young ‘uns in them (or at least not in a central role). You won’t find any 25 year old teenagers with perfect skin here, just cranky codgers and the middle-aged maladjusted. However, they didn’t hit my favorite, once-more-into-the-breach horror movie, Bubba Ho-Tep . Who doesn’t want to watch elderly Elvis and black JFK fight a mummy in a retirement home? Hopefully no one I know. Enjoy!…

To that end, they gathered Jillian Venters of Gothic Charm School , Monty Ashley of The Incomparable Podcast Network , Jeff Harris of Fanboy News Network , and lil’ ol’ me, Handsome Husband Jim .

We have different tastes, so they’re very different lists. We also go over a couple of new movies, like Pet Sematary, but we cut the spoilery stuff to go after the credits. So if you want the whole truth of our opinions, keep listening like it was a Marvel movie for that after-credits goodness!…

DRtL is back after its bye week to bring you more horror goodness. This time Jennifer is joined by Handsome Boyfriend Jim to talk about how to share the movies you love with someone you love. Jen and Jim have a lot of common ground, but also some divergent tastes in films, so if you’ve ever wondered about how to broach the subject with your better half, this one’s for you!…

DRtL Episode 59: Favorite Horror Actors! 1:20:59

8 years ago1:20:59

1:20:59

Welcome back to Don’t Read the Latin, where in this episode, we’re talking about our favorite horror movie actors — the scream queens, sinister villains, and creepy little character actors who populate the films we love. These are the people we love to watch over and over again, the performances that can get us into the theater every time. We’re sure you’ll know and love many of these screen icons as well, and hope that you’ll learn some new names you should be looking out for, as well. Let us know if there’s anyone else you think we should have mentioned! (Thanks for your patience with our slight delay in getting this episode to you, and we ask your patience with the weird little pop-and-hiss that crept into the audio of this episode. It’s pretty mystifying — we used the exact same audio setup as we have for the past couple of episodes, and we didn’t have this trouble then. Perhaps you could pretend we’re having this conversation while sitting next to a crackling campfire? Or not. Suit yourselves.)…

Another year, another Crypticon has come and gone! Your horror hosts Michael Montoure and Jennifer Lovely always make attending this Seattle convention a priority, and this year was no exception. This year marks Jennifer’s first appearance at a convention as a panelist! This episode, we talk about our experiences at the convention, both good and bad. (Mostly good!) We hope you’ll check it out — and we hope you’ll join us at the convention next year! (There’s not much of a media list this time — we talk briefly about movies and TV we’ve seen lately, and those are listed below.)…

Hello, horror fiends! Did you have a good New Year’s? And, uhhh, a good Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Chinese New Year, Groundhog Day, Valentine’s Day, and Mardi Gras — ? So, yeah, it’s been a little while since our last episode, is what we’re saying, here. Between Michael being out of town a lot, and Jen losing her job, her house, and then her Grandmother in rapid succession, there’s been a hell of a lot of so-called “real life” cutting into our podcasting time. But now we’re Back From The Dead, and what better way to celebrate that than with an episode about horror movies where people return from the grave? We’re not talking ghosts, or vampires, or zombies — we’vddde done episodes on all of those already. We’re talking all the other revenants of every type and description. Along the way, we talk about Letterboxd, a site for keeping track of the movies you watch; the late, lamented iMDB message boards; the critical role of politics in the horror genre; and the online horror movie offerings of services like Shudder and Fandor. All that and more is waiting for you in the latest episode, so stuff it into your eager brainmeats, let us know what you think in the comments, and as always, be sure to rate and review us on iTunes to let your fellow horror fans know we’re worth checking out. It’s great to be back — thanks for listening, and we will be back in two weeks.…

Welcome back to Don’t Read the Latin , as Michael and Jennifer delve into the world of Horror Anthologies — only to realize that they don’t actually like them very much. But, as always, we accentuate the positive, and concentrate on talking about the ones we do like. So if you like your horror movies in bite-sized chunks, this is the episode for you! We also end up talking about reboots, why we actually like them, and why they work so well on television.

1:46:21

Welcome back! Joining us for another episode of Don’t Read the Latin is Jillian Venters from Gothic Charm School! This time, in the wake of election results that are arguably more terrifying than any movie we’ve ever discussed, we decided to get our feminist rant on and sat down to talk about The Monstrous Feminine — the idea of women as monsters in horror movies and pop culture. Along the way, we discuss Gothic romance novels, Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios, the role that Mad Max: Fury Road played in the beginning of Jen’s relationship with Handsome Boyfriend Jim, and we wonder why the hell Marvel keeps burying pretty actors under way too much prosthetic makeup, and we wrap it all up with the topic of older women having a voice and taking up space in our society. We don’t necessarily do a great job of sticking rigidly to our topic in this episode, but we sure hope you’ll think it’s an interesting conversation. Check it out. _____ Bibliography Books we mention in this episode: The Monstrous-Feminine: Film, Feminism, Psychoanalysis , by Barbara Creed Men, Women and Chain Saws: Gender in the Modern Horror Film , by Carol J. Clover Monstrous Bodies: Feminine Power in Young Adult Horror Fiction , by June Pulliam Bad Dreams , by Kim Newman Angels of Music , by Kim Newman _____ Mister Babadook As mentioned in this episode, Jen’s copy of the crowdfunded prop replica/movie tie-in book from The Babadook has finally arrived! Here are some pictures of just how gorgeous it is. Click to embiggen:…

Welcome back! The whole gang is back — your hosts Michael Montoure and Jennifer Lovely and our guests Jillian Venters , Jeff Harris , and Handsome Boyfriend Jim — for part two of our special Ghostbusters episode! (Hopefully, this will be a less disappointing sequel than Ghostbusters II was.) Last time , we talked about the original Ghostbusters films and the animated series — this time out, we’re discussing the Xbox videogame and the 2016 reboot movie. And about the fanboys who came after the reboot with pitchforks and torches before the first trailer even came out. We’ve got some opinions. Hold on to your butts. (Yes, that’s a Jurassic Park reference in a post about Ghostbusters. Sorry, purists.) _____ Bonus Materials Here’s a photo of Jim’s well-loved copy of the Ghostbusters table-top role-playing-game. (We’re pretty sure we actually discussed the RPG last episode, but we forgot to post this picture then. Whooops.) Finally, here’s a screenshot of Montoure’s Tumblr post that that went a little bit viral, and was partly the impetus for making this two-part episode in the first place:…

DRtL Episode 46: Horror Double Features! 1:29:45

If you’re starting to plan your Halloween party — and if you’re not, you’d better get on that, you only have 104 days left — we have totally got you covered this episode. Want to show your friends a couple of movies? This episode we talk about Horror Double Features and give our picks for what movies pair together well, like pairing cheeses and fine wines. While we’re at it, we talk about just what exactly makes two movies go together well as a single viewing. Spoiler Warnings We discuss the endings of both 10 Cloverfield Lane and Ex Machina. If you don’t want to hear the details, skip forward a couple of minutes when you hear us mention those titles. Technical Notes: We mention at the beginning of this episode that we were recording it on our laptop and on our new audio recorder, because Montoure didn’t trust that the recording was actually, you know, recording. And it’s a damn good thing he’s paranoid, because it turns out that the recorder did not save a file at all. The quality the first time we used it was great, and it will be a fine tool to add to our podcasting arsenal if we can ever figure out how to use the damn thing. The Bag of Fucks We mention in passing The Bag of Fucks, which is an awesome hand-made creation by our friend Dmitri Arbacauskas at Tormented Artifacts. When you have just run out of fucks to give, here’s the bag you could load some more into. (Or you can just open the bag if you want to show people that it is, indeed, empty.) You can get one of these beauties here if you are so inclined. Other Podcasts Jennifer mentions a few of her new favorites among the podcasts she listens to, so if you’d like to check those out, here they are: You Must Remember This The Memory Palace Lore In the News Since we brought up Chopping Mall, a movie about security robots gone rogue in a shopping center, we naturally talked about a related story in the news recently, and in case you missed it, here it is: A mall security robot has knocked down and run over a toddler in Silicon Valley .

1:28:55

While we’ve done episodes on various kinds of monsters in the past — werewolves , ghosts , vampires , and more — this is the first time we’re tackling the subject of, well, just monsters! Creature features of all kinds! In order to tackle this Godzilla-sized task, we’ve enlisted the help of this episode’s special guest star, Jennifer’s very own Handsome Boyfriend Jim ! We’ve also split this session into two hour-long episodes, because we talked a lot. This time, join us as we talk about what makes a monster, why we all have trouble making the Universal Monsters fit our definition, and more. We’ll be back with the conclusion next Monday! ____ (Technical Note: This episode doesn’t have the terrible audio problems that we had last time. We went back to our more traditional USB microphone setup with a little fine-tuning by Jim, but we will be troubleshooting what went wrong with the audio recorder last time.) (Non-technical Note: You’ll notice there are no tags for this episode yet. This is because I wrote down all the movies we talked about in a notebook, which I forgot to bring with me when I went to post this. Whoops! I will go back in and tag this post later, so check back if you’re curious. Sorry!)…

Before you panic — no, he’s not dead. I know, the last time we did an episode about the work of a single director was our Wes Craven Retrospective shortly after he passed, but this time we’re just doing the episode because we just really, really like John Carpenter movies. Although not always the same ones! Listen to the episode to find out more. We were partly inspired to do this episode by the John Carpenter Retrospective Tour , which will be in Seattle on June 14th! And may be coming soon to a city near you! Check out the tour page for details.…

“I’ve never seen the 50’s Vincent Price version . . . or, now that I stop to think about it, I don’t think I’ve seen the 60’s version, either . . . and I’m not sure I saw I Am Legend . . . . “ “Oh, my God — move on!” Welcome to our only slightly late episode! This time, we’re exploring that strange territory where the silver screen and your local bookstore collide. That’s right, this episode is all about horror movies based on books! Bad movies based on good novels, good movies based on bad novels, and everything in between. Did we miss any of your favorites? Let us know! Worthy of Note: Hopefully you will notice a big improvement in the sound quality over previous episodes. We’re trying a totally new audio set-up, and we think it sounds a lot better. Let us know what you think of that, too. We’re still experimenting and learning, and after two years of doing this, we’re finally making a little progress! Eventually, we catch on. Speaking of which, also Worthy of Note — we’ve missed it by just a few days, but May 9th was the second anniversary of our very first episode! I know, we can’t believe it, either! For those who have been with us from the beginning, thank you so much for listening and for your comments and support, and for telling your friends about us. For those of you just joining — welcome! Grab some popcorn and settle in, because we’re not going to stop watching horror movies any time soon. See you in two weeks!…

Won’t you both sit down? Wait, weren’t there two of you just a moment ago? We could have sworn …. Oh, well.
