Ep- 265: Catching up with The FM3 (11/2023).
In this episode the FM3 decided to stretch the old batwing out nice and thin, er or uhhh they decided to wing it. No movie specifically to talk about this week but they sure had lots of other topics to chat about...so sit back, grab your favorite snack or beverage and once again get ready to catch up with Jef, Josh and Brian! (11/2023)
Ep- 264: Possession (1981).
In this episode, The FM3 have their poison served up warm and squiggly by a wonderful top level Patron from Patreon. The poison in this case is the polarizing 1981 film "Possession" by writer/director Andrzej Zulawski. Jef, Josh and Brian are finally ready to tackle this legendary movie at least in the public's ears. They may have recorded an episode talking about this very movie some time back and it was lost in the fog and sadness of different days. That being said, If you happen to be a patron on Patreon, that original recording will be getting uploaded and then you will get to hear the crew's initial reactions and feelings as they were also having a tough day at the old podcasting office. This is one of those films that will forever change you- good or bad, It WILL change you. Some folks end up not liking it which is understandable and other folks will end up obsessed digging into the dark depths of the interwebs for any tiny nugget of insight into this crazy ass film.
Ep- 263: Critters 2.
It is Forever Midnight's very own Josh Jacob Jingleheimer Staples birthday! And what better way to celebrate than by letting him pick a movie for the FM3 to talk about. Jef and Brian were surprised and even a little excited when he picked the 1988 blockbuster Critters 2! Getting to see that giant Critter-Ball in action as well as some titillating Critties busting out of a certain bounty hunters uniform made Jef, Josh and Brian sprint to watch what might be Mick Garris's best movie. Plus the FM crew talk about the recent Haunts they got to attend - Winchester Mystery House's "Unhinged: Housewarming" & Terror Vault: "The Initiation" Produced by Peaches Christ and David Flower!
Ep- 262: Cobweb.
In this episode Jef, Josh and Brian dip into a new movie that a lot of listeners were talking about and wanted us to check out. The ookie spookie spider filled 2023 romp "Cobweb"! The crew pretty much went into this one super cold and not sure what to expect, but with a name like "Cobweb" the crew knew they were in store for some creepy crawly action. This one turned out to be a full on Halloween movie as well, so now that it's pumpkin' season, get your friends together and add this to the Halloween playlist! However Listeners, please oh please watch this one before you listen - we spoil it as usual, but this movie is way better not knowing all the shit! You have been warned! hahah So sit back, push play and LET YOUR HAIR DOWN...wink wink... The FM crew is back with another one!
Ep- 261: The BlackCoat's Daughter.
In this episode Jef, Josh and Brian have their poison picked for them once again by a wonderful Top Dawg Patron! The pick this time around is the 2015 Oz Perkins directed "The Blackcoat's Daughter. This particular poison is one the FM gang have been told for years they should check out but in true FM fashion the crew waited a healthy 9 years to watch this one hahaha...As always don't forget to watch the movie before checkin the episode...Ye Come seekin' adventure and salty old podcasters, aye?

Ep- 260: Amulet (2020).
In this episode, another Top Dawg Patreon Patron picks our poison! This time around that poison is the 2020 slow burn horror film "Amulet". This one flew totally under the radar for the FM3 but they were happy to have a mystery movie picked for them. With that said, this conversation is filled with a much spirited debate about whether or not this movie was good because believe it or not Jef, Josh and Brian didn't all see eye to eye through the keyhole on this weird one. It is suggested that you check this one out for yourself before listening to this episode because the crew is taking the fast train to spoileys-ville and all the secrets will be revealed!
Ep- 259: Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation.
In this episode The FM crew get a movie picked by another one of their amazing top dog Patrons! This week Jef, Josh and Brian find themselves in some familiar territory, That's right they are back in the house that chainsaws built, talking about the 1995 movie "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation". This is one of those movies that some folks love and some folks hate, regardless how you feel - this installment in the chainsaw franchise is one that people love to talk about. So sit back and grab some Bar-B-Que or some pizzas if that's what you fancy as The FM3 dig into "The Return Of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre"!
Ep- 258: Needful Things.
In this episode Jef, Josh and Brian get to visit good old Castle Rock Maine once again and they couldn't be more excited! People are talking and very curious about the new store that just opened. What could it be? What do they sell? Who is the creepy freak that owns the place? Soon the town is getting super agitated by the arrival of this new stranger selling special things for dirty deeds. Not wanting to trade their souls for some estate sale trinkets, the Forever Midnight crew click their heels together and say Stephen King!, Stephen King!, Stephen King! They awaken back in their old beds, everything seems normal except they all know they have now seen the 2 hour cut of the 1993 film "Needful Things". Lord Help them...
Ep- 257: Insidious: The Red Door.
In this episode the FM3 sit down and talk about the newest installment in the Insidious franchise 'The Red Door". It seems just like poor Dalton the Forever Midnight crew have a case of the old brain fog aka "The Further Farts" when it comes to figuring out the timeline for these Insidious/Conjuring movies. Brian and Josh (especially) need some help from Patrick Wilson or at least from Patrick Wilson dressed as Ed Warren to "conjure up" some of the what's and how's and why's of all these very similar movies. So grab some popcorn, a flashlight (cause it's gonna get foggy up in here) and a nice comfortable seat as the guys talk about "Darth Maul goes to College''.
Ep- 256: Pulse (2001).
In this week's episode the FM3 have a nice little techno-horror film plopped in their laps by one of their top level Patrons. "Pulse" AKA "Kairo" or "Circuit" in Japanese is an interesting take on the idea of ghosts and their relation to technology directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa. Jef, Josh and Brian had never seen it before and were excited to have this one picked for them. This film follows two groups that discover evidence that ghosts might be trying to invade the human world via the internet. Its take on the sheer loneliness caused by our broken connections from using this technology seems light years ahead of what we all thought about the world wide web in 2001. So... hop on the internet as quickly as possible and listen in as the FM crew chat about this often overlooked Japanese Horror gem! For those of you that might have not seen this yet...Trigger Warning: (Suicide/Self Harm).
