Episode 233: I’m Dangerous Tonight (1990) (with David Arnold of Fear Coded)

October 26, 2026 · 1 hr 34 min

In a first for our show, we’re covering a made-for-TV movie, and we couldn’t have picked a better one to talk about. If you’re feeling scandalous, you could do a lot worse than I’m Dangerous Tonight. Tobe Hooper may be asleep at the wheel…
Episode 232: The Mortuary Collection (2019) (with Michael Moss)

October 12, 2026 · 1 hr 22 min

We haven’t had a Spooky Linings month in quite some time around here, but we do this season, and we’re using it to discuss a very odd anthology film with 2019’s The Mortuary Collection. Interesting visuals and fun setups unfortunately…
Episode 231: Beau is Afraid (2023) (with Brandi Dewberry and Jenn Paulemon)

September 28, 2026 · 1 hr 45 min

While you may have loved Hereditary and Midsommar, Beau is Afraid was certainly the litmus test for fans of horror master Ari Aster. Is a movie about anxiety, paranoia, guilt, absurdity, and possibly even neurodivergence enough to justify…
Episode 230: Hamnet (2025)

September 14, 2026 · 1 hr 37 min

While Sinners and One Battle After Another were duking it all awards season earlier this year, a lot of the other films up for Best Picture and multiple other categories got left out of the conversation; Hamnet was unfortunately one of…
Episode 229: Predestination (2014)

August 31, 2026 · 1 hr 25 min

Time travel, destiny, and predetermination – it’s all on display in 2014’s Predestination. A small film with big ideas riding on the coattails of Primer, Inception, and a lot of other time related movies that came before it, there’s so…

Episode 228: The Return of the Living Dead (1985) (with James Stacey)

August 17, 2026 · 1 hr 14 min

We have just one question for you: do you wanna party? If so, then you’re in for a treat because this week on the show we’re getting down and dirty with maybe the most punk rock version of all zombie flicks with 1985’s The Return of the…
The Silver Linings Playlist’s 10th Anniversary Special

August 15, 2026 · 2 hr 40 min

10 years ago today, we began our journey building a playlist of films with cliffhanger, downbeat, and upsetting endings with the caveat of discovering a silver lining for each and every one. In this anniversary special, we’re looking back…
Episode 227: Memories of Murder (2003)

August 3, 2026 · 1 hr 10 min

We’re taking a turn back into Korean cinema this week as we’re reviewing an absolute classic that’s still in IMDb’s Top 200 and Letterboxd’s Top 50 greatest films of all time. Memories of Murder isn’t a conventional murder mystery; it’s…
Episode 226: The Breed (2006)

July 20, 2026 · 1 hr 15 min

Do you remember 2006’s The Breed? No? That’s okay, no one else does either. We’re uncovering a nothing of a movie to discuss, and it’s no wonder this thing has been lost to time. In 96 minutes of runtime, there’s only about 12 worth…
Episode 225: First Blood (1982) (with John Wooliscroft of The Cinema Psychos Show)

July 6, 2026 · 1 hr 21 min

We just passed America’s 250th birthday, so what better way to celebrate our nation’s history than by discussing a film about a veteran with PTSD who was chewed up, spit out, and left for dead by his own country? You’d be forgiven for…
Episode 224: The Hitcher (1986)

June 22, 2026 · 1 hr 25 min

Our mothers told us never to do this, but if we had to describe 1986’s The Hitcher in one word, we would use the word “mean”. Somehow this one manages to be very violent and simultaneously incredibly restrained. Rutger Hauer gives one of…
Episode 223: The Roses (2025) (with David Arnold of Fear Coded)

June 8, 2026 · 1 hr 39 min

1989’s The War of the Roses is undeniably a classic. The 2025 remake The Roses, however, is probably not destined for the same fate. Even though the cast shines, the story is lacking a lot of the…well, war of the Roses. It’s worth exactly…

About the show

Not every movie wraps up with a neat little bow on the end. Some leave you asking "what the f@#$?!" We're here to find the silver lining in the latter. Join Dustin, Mallie, and Nathan every other Monday as we try to find the light at the end of the tunnel for some of cinema's bleakest endings - and have some laughs while doing so.
