  On this week's episode; Lindsay's Podcasting brother and host The Year's Best Podcast  of the  is back for the perfect B Movie Double of The Bees from 1978 and M. Night  Shyamalan's The Happening from 2008.  It's about to get real, real strange.  But through Brent's genuine passion for M. Night Shyamalan and 1970s exploitation you get a new point of view on these movies.   This was such a great Double to watch and record.  It's one of my favourite types of movies.  There is a glorious-ness to the ridiculous.   Listen to This Year's Best Here Here Follow to This Year's Best Here Follow Brent on Twitter @brentpetersn Follow Brent on Letterboxd @defient3/   Follow Schlock and Awe on Twitter @schlockandawe1 Follow Schlock and Awe on Instagram @schlockandawe1/ Follow Lindsay on Twitter @readandgeek Follow Lindsay on Letterboxd @ReadandGeek/ Please Rate and Review  Here   Original Music composed and performe...

S&A DOUBLE:  ARACHNOPHOBIA ( DIR FRANK MARSHALL, 1990) & THE SWARM (DIR IRWIN ALLEN, 1978)      I remember as a kid, many a scary movie moments would have me running from the room.  But there was also two movie trailers (or ads for TV) that would have the same effect on me.  One mintue I was sitting on the floor by the TV the next there was a only a cartoon puff of smoke in the shape of my general person.  These were  Arachnophobia from 1990 and The Swarm from 1978.  I think the notion of being covered in bees with the constant screaming gave me anxiety nightmares.  Watching both of these movies last week was a first for me, because with all the creepy crawlies it makes me itchy.  Inscets, Bugs and Spiders have always made great Monster Movies, Crawley Features if you will.  Whether they are radio actively giant like in Them ! or Tarantua , more experimental like Phase IV or Creature Freature like Cronenber's The Fly ...
