Talking Pondo

From summer blockbusters to indie darlings, Talking Pondo celebrates the joy of watching, questioning, and occasionally roasting the movies that shape our lives.

Every week, hosts Clif Campbell and Marty Ketola sit down to swap movies and swap opinions. Each of them brings a film to the table and together they dig into what makes it work (or not). Sometimes, there's a guest!

Whether you’re a casual moviegoer or a die-hard cinephile, there’s always room more movie talk.

And yes, there will be spoilers!

Making Pondo is a discussion with Clif, Marty and a guest from one of their many productions.

In this episode, Marty gives Clif the movie Scream 2 to watch and Clif gives Marty the movie Jason X to watch.

Clif and Marty kick off spooky season with a double dose of ’90s/early-2000s chaos: Jason X and Scream 2. First, the guys launch Jason Voorhees into space, where the CGI is questionable, the kills are creative, and Clif recounts the Space Chimps mask incident that nearly caused a mall-wide panic.

Then it’s back to college with Scream 2, as they dig into Jada Pinkett’s memorable opener, the never-ending “rules” of horror sequels, and the legendary script leak that forced the movie into rewrite purgatory. Along the way: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Timothy Olyphant at peak Oly-phantasticness, and the eternal question of how is Ghostface somehow everywhere and nowhere at once?

Fun, fast, mildly unhinged. Just the way spooky season should be.
