Step back into the panic, paranoia, and popcorn-fueled excitement of 1962 as Alec and Guest Joe Testa talk "Matinee!" Joe Dante’s love letter to creature features, Cold War anxiety, and the magic of moviegoing. Starring John Goodman as eccentric horror showman Lawrence Woolsey, this cult classic blends satire, nostalgia, and coming-of-age storytelling against the backdrop of the Cuban Missile Crisis. We explore how Matinee captures the communal thrill of theatrical cinema, pays tribute to low-budget sci-fi and horror films of the 1950s and ’60s, and quietly reflects on fear as both entertainment and political reality. We also dig into Dante’s affectionate filmmaking style, the movie’s surprisingly heartfelt performances, and why this underrated gem has become a favorite among cinephiles and horror fans alike. From atomic-age monsters to vibrating theater seats, join us as we celebrate one of the smartest and most charming movies ever made about the movies themselves. TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wheel.of.horror7?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wheelofhorrorpodcast1802/videos Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wheel-of-horror/id1534102813Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3HnyAISG8Z8hvMFdSG60tE?si=9b785cf21c7f46a3Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wheel_of_horror/Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/HorrorWheel
