Nathan and Dave return to the Illustrated Fan with a big episode celebrating the animated films of Walt Disney and reviewing the stop-motion Netflix film 'House'.  Dave and Nathan bring back Khristian Knecht from the Miyazaki episode (now a college graduate!) and each host shares their top 10 Disney animated films after they review the trippy, unsettling, quirky House, an anthology of strange tales set within the same setting.  For our Disney list, we decided to exclude the following: * films that were essentially and primarily live-action but combined animation; Pete's Dragon, Bed-knobs and Broomsticks, Roger Rabbit would fall into this arena. * Pixar films. We will eventually do a Pixar-centric episode later this year!  Without further ado, check out the episode and see which films Nathan, Dave and Kris chose as their favorites!

Nathan and Dave finally get around to talking the great Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki and two of his most influential works, Spirited Away and Mononoke Hime (Princess Mononoke).  In order to do the master justice, we've invited on Miyazaki fan and animation student Khristian Knecht to discuss the films and their influence on the medium, as well as Miyazaki's own significance to film in general.  Our short film is actually a trailer for a little-seen tv pilot called Yuki's Sun, which marks the first directorial project Miyazaki ever did.  We also briefly discuss the Studio Ghibli documentaries "Never Ending Man" and "Kingdom of Dreams and Madness".  Enjoy the episode and leave your comments here or on the Facebook page, or reach out to us on Twitter!  Dave's other places on the internet: Film blog: DVD Infatuation.com On Twitter: @DVDinfatuation On Facebook: DVDinfatuation On Instagram: @dbjb6972 On Letterboxd: @dcoshockhmp YouTube Channel: Visit W3Schools Dave Becker's Podcasts: Horror Movie P

The X-Files Round Table returns to Phantom Galaxy with a deep dive on Season 3! Nathan is once again joined by Victor Rodriguez from Inside the Sound of Fear, Dave Roy from The Great Fright North,Tommy Wood from Reel Talk: A Movie Podcast, and, making her Phantom Galaxy debut, X-Files super-fan Karen Wagner joins the team!  We cover every single episode of Season 3, some in more detail than others, and come to the conclusion that this might be the strongest season of the entire show! X-Files national treasure Darin Morgan has a trilogy of great episodes, and the mythology expands to include one of its hallmarks, the Black Oil!  New allies and new enemies appear, and we also come across one of the greatest missteps of the series--hint: killer Ecuadorian curse cats!  Enjoy, and remember, THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!  Links for Karen Wagner: Land of the Creeps 253: Cult Classics  Links for Victor Rodriguez: https://vhrodriguez.wordpress.com/ The Sound of Fear: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1694373576 On Time fr

Happy Turkey Day all!  Nathan and Bill (who already celebrated Thanksgiving in October!) invite friend of the show Brian Scott on to discuss movies related to the holiday. Of course finding good movies outside of the same 3 or 5 titles can be difficult, with the pickings slimmer than a turkey carcass after the last round of leftovers. So, we've tried to each bring two titles to the table that evoke the mood of the holiday or feature it in some manner, regardless of genre.  And, in the end, some of these are honestly barely related, but we put the question to you. What are some of your go-to Thanksgiving movies?
