The PDI STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL – CHAPTER 5: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

Laura Akers
December 11, 2019
Shot for Shot
Because while Star Wars had revolutionized movies and movie-making in many ways, Empire reminded us why that mattered, why films mattered.

Remembering Rutger Hauer (1944-2019)

psychodr
July 29, 2019
Schlock & Awe
Here are the Psycho Drive-In All-Stars with some of their favorite film memories of the late, great Rutger Hauer.
Nichols as Uhura in Star Trek: The Original Series

Nichelle Nichols and Uhura: A Light Undiminished

Laura Akers
August 17, 2018
Shot for Shot
Ms. Nichols' Uhura had left an indelible imprint on me too. She will always be the model for me of what we should be as women and as people.

Remembering Harry Dean Stanton (1926-2017)

Adam Barraclough, Dan Lee, Laura Akers, Marsha Nicholson, Paul Brian McCoy, Shawn Hill
September 21, 2017
Schlock & Awe
This past weekend, we lost one of America’s most iconoclastic character actors, Harry Dean Stanton.

Women in Horror: Carrie – Horror Every Day

Laura Akers
February 28, 2017
Women in Horror
As with so much of King’s work, Carrie isn’t about what it is most known for.

Women in Horror: Wes Craven’s Red Eye

Laura Akers
February 26, 2017
Women in Horror
Lisa Reisert’s ability to handle herself isn’t something brought out by the trauma she suffers in the movie.

Women in Horror: Sigourney Weaver

Laura Akers
February 24, 2017
Women in Horror
Without Weaver’s influence both on and off the screen, there would be no Sarah Connor. No Bride. No Lara Croft. No Alice. And no Furiosa.

Women in Horror: Karen Black and Trilogy of Terror

Laura Akers
February 9, 2017
Women in Horror
But most viewers who caught Trilogy of Terror on TV probably have no memory of Julie, Millicent, and Therese. What they remember is “Amelia.”

ABCs of Horror 2016 Day 31: W is for Sigourney Weaver

Laura Akers
October 31, 2016
ABCs of Horror
Neither decorative accessory nor Final Girl, Ripley was one of a kind. And a lot of that came from Weaver.

ABCs of Horror 2016 Day 2: B is for Karen Black

Laura Akers
October 2, 2016
ABCs of Horror
But it is to Karen Black’s credit, if unhappily, that the film took such hold in our collective consciousness.

THE FINAL GIRL FULLY FORMED: Wes Craven’s Red Eye

Laura Akers
September 2, 2016
Schlock & Awe
But the same things I loved about Nightmare emerged—more fully formed—in Red Eye.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE AMERICAN DREAM: The People Under the Stairs

Laura Akers
September 1, 2016
Schlock & Awe
At the heart of Craven’s sometimes silly, often quite humorous, film is a critique of trickle-down Reaganomics: the rich are not rich because they work harder or make wiser decisions or because they excel in any other way ethically.

Supernatural 11.20 & 11.21

Laura Akers
May 19, 2016
Reviews, TV
Usually it’s more existential than this, but isn’t it just like Supernatural to make real such metaphysical issues: Can we depend on God?

Wondercon Interview: The Cast of Damien

Gary Richardson, Laura Akers
April 16, 2016
Interviews, TV
At this year’s Wondercon, Psycho Drive-in's very own Laura Akers got to participate in several roundtables with the cast and the creator and executive producer of A&E’s Damien.

Supernatural 11.16 & 11.17

Laura Akers
April 6, 2016
Reviews, TV
If it’s unclear what the point of all this is, you’re a Supernatural fan.

Agent Carter 2.06 “Life of the Party” & 2.07 “Monsters”

Laura Akers
February 23, 2016
Reviews, TV
Bring the popcorn, folks, because despite a slightly shaky start, this season’s conclusion of Agent Carter is looking even better than the last.

Supernatural 11.12 & 11.13

Laura Akers
February 17, 2016
Reviews, TV
While Supernatural is a male-centric show, what they lack in quantity of female characters, they make up for in quality of the women in returning roles.

Agent Carter 2.05 “The Atomic Job”

Laura Akers
February 16, 2016
Reviews, TV
If last week’s Agent Carter was about character, then this week was about action, and nothing says action like trying to steal two atomic bombs.

Agent Carter 2.04 “Smoke and Mirrors”

Laura Akers
February 9, 2016
Reviews, TV
We don’t expect more than a superficial critique of such social issues in properties like this, but that is what has made Agent Carter such a joy.

Supernatural 11.10 & 11.11

Laura Akers
February 3, 2016
Reviews, TV
It’s actually a bit of quiet genius that Supernatural, the contemporary Paradise Lost, leaves God out of the picture the way it does.
