Queue The Banter

On this week’s Queue the Banter, Nick and Jared invite guest, Abby Sullivan to talk James Gunn penned, Scooby Doo. Abby brought her own intern, power point presentations, and an explanation into why we need the Twilight movies now more than ever. This episode is a one way trip to Spooky Island.  Ruh Roh Raggy. Some Disclaimers: This episode was recorded before the passing of Scooby Do co-creator, Joe Ruby. RIP to legend. At the end of the episode, we mention covering Marvel’s Black Panther down the line. This discussion took place before the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman. Below is our statement regarding Boseman’s impact on film, via Jared’s twitter account: “We must never forget Chadwick Boseman’s impact on cinema and his role as an inspiration to black people across the globe, both young and old. He brought heroes to life on screen, and was heroic off of it.” - @jmrayment Queue the Banter is an ilto 8 production (@ilto8podcasts)

Nick and Jared (The Brave Little Toaster) get back into their Quarantine the Banter mini-series with David Fincher’s 2007 True Crime film, Zodiac. With special guests, Adriana and Robyn of the Splice and Slice podcast (@spliceandslice), they get into all things Zodiac Killer. But should they have talked about the infamous killer so publicly? Because it seems that Ted Cruz, er, the Zodiac knows where they live. And he’s sent them multiple letters. Boy, oh boy. Do we have a podcast for you. From Ilto8 Productions.

Nick suggested to Jared that they record an episode outdoors, Jared suggested that the outdoor episode be about Westerns. Both were wonderful suggestions so please sit back and enjoy some banter about an under appreciated film genre, the Western.

We came to the conclusion that now wasn't the time for us to give you a list of movies to add to your queue, it was a time for us to listen.

We invited second time guest Todd Angeles on to talk about The Room and The Disaster Artist. We were left with one question...Who is the modern day John Stockton?
