Our new episode is out, all about THE SHINING (1980). We get into the King-Kubrick feud, Shelley Duvall's experience making the movie, & break down the entire movie to advance our cases of what the film's really about. #moviepodcast #stanleykubrick #stephenking #horrorpodcast youtu.be/2MRG56nUzrk

From our episode about THE SHINING: You have to wonder, between that movie and EYES WIDE SHUT... maybe #stanleykubrick was actually a prude with a limited sexual imagination. #moviepodcast #horrormovies #stephenking

The least interesting way to talk about movies is to point out "plot holes." #moviepodcast

Out now, our full-video history of #stephenking #IT, specifically the 1990 made-for-TV movie, but also the novel, fear monsters, the Satanic Panic, and Quentin Tarantino's critique of King. #derry #horrormovies #horrorpodcast youtu.be/2WwhiGZRTX4

It might be a little early but we're fully in #christmasmovie mode. Here are some other songs Bill Nighy's character from #loveactually could turn into Christmas classics. #moviepodcast

Why is it that every single person involved in this thievery technology has a smug face

So, #stephenking directed a movie in the '80s called MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE. He admitted later he had no idea what he was doing and that he was coked out of his mind. You can tell... and that's probably why it's a pretty fun movie. #horrorpodcast #movies #moviepodcast #80smovies

Come on, we're all on the poacher's side in THE RESCUERS DOWN UNDER, right? #disney #animation #moviepodcast

Don't you hate it when #pennywise tricks you into giving him a big smooch? #it #stephenking #horrormovies #welcometoderry #moviepodcast

Who else thinks the lady kissing the taxidermied wolf if the most terrifying part of #cabininthewoods? #horrorpodcast #moviepodcast

And finally, we looked at the perplexing decision to move #doug to #disney / ABC and retool it for the x-treme, baggy pant-wearing, Surge-drinking, nu-metal listening kids of the late '90s. Also, there was a stage show at #disneyworld #mgmstudios. youtu.be/xoUh87z9PYI?...

Then, as we looked into the original "Doug Can't Dance" pilot as ordered by Nickelodeon, we learned the shocking truth of the original design of Skeeter Valentine. youtu.be/xoUh87z9PYI?...

Before Doug was a TV series, Doug Funnie appeared on TV as a pitchman in a series of commercials shilling for the Florida Grapefruit Growers Association(??), with narration by Garfield himself (Lorenzo Music). youtu.be/xoUh87z9PYI?...

The history segment's also available on YouTube! youtu.be/xoUh87z9PYI

But the first 35 minutes are available on the free feed, covering the entire history of the long life of DOUG, before, during, and after the Nickelodeon series, plus the origin story of #nicktoons. bit.ly/4gGvR4Y

The full episode is available for Patreon subscribers: bit.ly/47U3oGh

And now, our Doug extravaganza. We dive into the wide world of #doug #nicktoons, discussing two episodes: The pilot ("Doug Can't Dance") and the one with the immortal song 'Bangin' On A Trash Can' ("Doug's Garage Band").

Well, here's the new most controversial thing I've ever said, which is that art can't change the world. I guess it'd be more accurate to say it can't "save" the world. #ferngully #animatedmovies

Season three of LOAD BEARING BEAMS begins today, as we celebrate two straight years of releasing a new episode every Friday with our first #animatedmovie in a long time, FERNGULLY: THE LAST RAINFOREST (1992)! #moviepodcast

THE ELM-CHANTED FOREST is an obscure animated movie from the '80s, and, if nothing else, it has the only threesome joke I've ever seen in a children's cartoon. #moviepodcast #animation #obscuremedia

Which wrestler will be the first to ever get nominated for an Academy Award? #therock is on the Oscar campaign trail, but is he likelier to get a nomination this year (or ever) than his fellow wrestlers-turned-actors #johncena and #davebautista? #moviepodcast

Ghosts may have unfinished business, but to be honest, they need to adjust their priorities. From our new mini-episode about the 1997 #disney TV movie #towerofterror starring Steve Guttenberg and Kirsten Dunst.

YouTube video by Load Bearing Beams: A Movie Podcast My Mount Rushmore of Movie Presidents

Also by potential accident, I have a tangent about the succession crisis that Pres. Whitmore (Bill Pullman) narrowly avoids when he recklessly goes up in a fighter jet to fight the aliens himself. (skip to 4:47) youtu.be/qP3UGJvDk_A?...

YouTube video by Load Bearing Beams: A Movie Podcast My Mount Rushmore of Movie Presidents

Well, this is (maybe) fortuitous, but I have determined my Mount Rushmore of fictional movie presidents. There are few "good" presidents in real life, and it turns out there's very few of them in movies, either! But we love to watch 'em, don't we, folks? #president #potus youtu.be/qP3UGJvDk_A
