Food and Frightening Film Fanatics Podcast

"Invasion Of The Body Snatchers" And Pea Pod Stir Fry

This week we review "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers". The four movies that make up this series are not a franchise per se. They are instead remakes of the same movie with slight variations. Also Michele goes with the "pod" theme and shows us a tasty pea pod and beef stir fry from New York Times Cooking. See recipe here

The "Final Destination" Franchise And French Cooking

This week we revisit the "Final Destination" franchise. If you're looking for character development, try elsewhere. These movies are all about the kills (and the more intricate, the better). You may never look at Home Depot the same way again. And since our ill fated protagonists can never seem to make it to Paris, Michele has some French recipes from the Food Network here

The "Psycho" Franchise And Gourmet Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

This week we review the "Psycho" franchise. The 1960 Hitchcock version revolutionized the horror genre. The "shower scene" is the most famous in movie history. While the original can't be beat, the sequels aren't half bad either. Norman's only good memory of his mother is when she made him grilled cheese sandwiches. So in honor of Norman, check out some gourmet grilled cheese recipes from Bon Appetit here
