| 4/29/26 | The Shame List Picture Show | The Shame List Picture Show is a podcast that connects movie-loving filmmakers and close friends Michael Viers and, until early 2023, Nick Richards. The show began with their discussions about their "shame lists"—films they felt they should have seen but hadn’t. Since Nick's departure, Michael has continued the podcast, now featuring guests from all walks of life on each episode to discuss films from their own shame lists. Tune in to hear Michael and his diverse guests explore a wide variety of important and intriguing movies, sharing their unique perspectives and insights along the way. | 1m 01s | ||||||

| 4/12/26 |  BONUS EPISODE: Cage is the Rage #3 | This episode is from the SLPS archive. As a little bonus for our couple of Patreon followers, Michael & Amanda were doing a show called Cage is the Rage, where they try to work through the entire filmography of Nicolas Cage. It was (and still is) a tall order, and life got in the way, and this episode was just sitting on Patreon. We had decided to get back into the swing, and before we do so, we wanted to unearth Cage is the Rage #3. On this episode of Cage is the Rage, we continue Nic Cage's career with a discussion on The Cotton Club (1984) and Birdy (1984). We also decided to get a little contemporary and talk about Renfield (2023).Edited by: Michael ViersProduced by: Michael ViersTheme Music by: The DirectionalsOpening Narration by: Zach McLainCredits Music by: Ten-SpeedLogo Design by: Amanda Viers | 1h 02m 34s | ||||||

| 12/24/25 |  Christmas Movies feat. Alonso Duralde | Hello and welcome to our annual Christmas celebration of The Shame List Picture Show. A Christmas episode has been a tradition since the show’s very first season, and Nick and Michael both felt it was important to keep that tradition alive. It’s the signal that one season is ending, but another is just around the corner. This week, Michael is joined by SLPS co-creator Nick Richard and a very special guest: Alonso Duralde. In addition to being a film critic and podcaster, Alonso is a devoted Christmas movie lover, and his book Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas has just been reissued in a brand-new, updated edition.

| 12/19/25 |  Frankenstein feat. Jason Hillman | Hello and welcome to another episode of The Shame List Picture Show. Today, Jason Hillman returns to the pod to talk Frankenstein — not just Guillermo del Toro’s latest opus, but the monster and myth across its many adaptations. Michael and Jason wax philosophically on what works (and doesn’t) in Frankenstein on film. Spoiler: Michael is far more forgiving than Jason. One point of total agreement, however, is their shared love for Kenneth Branagh’s Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. We dig into all of it.

Today, I’m joined by comedian, filmmaker, and host of the long-running podcast It’s Always Halloween, Lucé Tomlin-Brenner. Lucé’s deep love for classic horror and appreciation for the macabre make her the perfect guest to join me in revisiting Alejandro Amenábar’s The Others — a Gothic ghost story steeped in atmosphere, grief, and faith. In this episode, we’ll dig into what defines Gothic horror and why The Others stands as one of the last great studio ghost films of its era. We’ll talk about Amenábar’s inspirations, the film’s critical and box office success, and the enduring emotional weight of Nicole Kidman’s performance. So light a few candles, draw the curtains, and join us as we wander through the fog and shadows of The Others.Be sure to check out our Patreon at www.patreon.com/shamelistpictureshowEdited by: Austin ProctorProduced by: Michael ViersTheme Music by: Austin ProctorOpening Narration by: Nick RichardsCredits Music by: Ten-SpeedLogo Design by: Amanda Viers | 1h 38m 25s | ||||||
| 10/13/25 |  One Battle After Another feat. Jason Hillman | Welcome back to the Shame List Picture Show. On this episode, I’m joined by photographer/filmmaker/renaissance man and returning guest Jason Hillman to talk about Paul Thomas Anderson’s newest film, One Battle After Another. Jason and I delve into how this film fits within Anderson’s body of work, its striking portrayal of modern disillusionment, and the ways it both builds upon and challenges his signature style. We also discuss performances, skills, and why this might be one of PTA's most personal films.

| 9/8/25 |  John Waters Double Feature feat. Nick Richards | Welcome back to the Shame List Picture Show. On this episode, I’m joined by Nick Richards, former co-host of the show. After a recent meeting with John Waters, Nick and I decided it was the perfect time to sit down for a Waters double feature. We’re talking about Cry-Baby (1990) and Serial Mom (1994). Cry-Baby is Waters’ take on 1950s teen rebel movies, starring Johnny Depp as a leather-jacketed heartthrob. Serial Mom features Kathleen Turner as Beverly Sutphin, a seemingly perfect suburban mom with a very dark secret. Nick and I get into what makes these two films stand out in Waters’ career, how they balance camp and satire, and why his work continues to leave such a lasting impression.Be sure to check out our Patreon at www.patreon.com/shamelistpictureshowEdited by: Austin ProctorProduced by: Michael ViersTheme Music by: Austin ProctorOpening Narration by: Nick RichardsCredits Music by: Ten-SpeedLogo Design by: Amanda Viers | 1h 44m 33s | ||||||
| 8/25/25 |  To Catch a Thief feat. Ross Bigley | Welcome back to the Shame List Picture Show. On this episode, I’m joined by Ross Bigley, filmmaker and founder of the Milwaukee Short Film Festival. Ross has been a part of Milwaukee’s film community for years, both through his own work and by creating a space for independent filmmakers to share their stories. We’re taking a look at Alfred Hitchcock’s To Catch a Thief (1955). Cary Grant plays John Robie, a retired jewel thief living in the French Riviera who finds himself under suspicion when a wave of burglaries breaks out. Grace Kelly appears as Francie, a young heiress who might be onto him—or maybe just intrigued by him. Ross and I discuss the film’s blend of romance and suspense, the chemistry between its stars, and how it reflects Hitchcock’s style at that point in his career. We also take some time to step back and discuss Hitchcock’s work and influence more broadly.

| 8/11/25 |  Bobby Deerfield feat. Derek Pfister | Welcome back to the Shame List Picture Show! On this episode, Michael is joined by Derek Pfister, an award-winning Milwaukee-based cinematographer, editor, and founder of Chair on Stair Films. With over 20 years behind the camera, Derek’s work includes the Cannes-screened Reasonable Doubt and the documentary series The Next Frame. Today, we’re talking about Sidney Pollack’s 1977 drama Bobby Deerfield. Al Pacino plays a cool, calculated Formula One driver whose confidence takes a hit after a teammate’s brutal crash. Not long after, he meets Lillian (Marthe Keller), a free-spirited woman who pulls him into an unexpected romance. Instead of adrenaline-fueled action, this one focuses on mood, atmosphere, and quiet moments. Michael and Derek dig into the film’s slow-burn style, its melancholy beauty, and whether it’s a forgotten gem or a product of its time.You can find more information about Chair on Stair at: https://www.chaironstairfilms.com/Be sure to check out our Patreon at www.patreon.com/shamelistpictureshowEdited by: Austin ProctorProduced by: Michael ViersTheme Music by: Austin ProctorOpening Narration by: Nick RichardsCredits Music by: Ten-SpeedLogo Design by: Amanda Viers | 1h 19m 41s | ||||||
| 7/24/25 |  Romeo + Juliet feat. Jason Hillman | Welcome back to the Shame List Picture Show! On this episode, Michael is joined by a very special guest: Jason Hillman. Jason is a photographer, writer, comedian, and longtime friend of the show who’s stepping back into the guest chair to knock a big title off Michael's shame list. Today, we're diving into Baz Luhrmann’s bold, stylish, and divisive 1996 adaptation of Romeo + Juliet. From Leonardo DiCaprio’s brooding charm to Claire Danes’ heartfelt delivery and, of course, the machine guns labeled "Sword", this is Shakespeare like you've never seen it before. Join Michael and Jason as they unpack the film’s kinetic energy, modern aesthetics, and emotional highs (and lows), and debate whether this reimagining still holds up or drowns in its own ambition. Light a candle, cue the Radiohead, and enjoy this star-crossed episode.

| 6/28/25 |  The Silence of the Lambs feat. Lynne Fraser | Welcome back to the Shame List Picture Show! On this episode, Michael is joined by a very special guest: Lynne Fraser. Not only is Lynne the founder of the video company Ski Team, but she’s also the lucky winner of a guest spot on this very show, thanks to our wonderful friends at Milwaukee Film. During this past festival, Milwaukee Film held a special silent auction to raise funds, and a guest appearance on Shame List Picture Show was one of the items up for bid. Lynne came out on top, and today we’re finally crossing a doozy off her shame list: The Silence of the Lambs. Sit back and relax as Lynne and Michael discuss all things Hannibal Lecter—from Lynne’s storied history of not seeing the film to how it holds up through a contemporary lens. Have a friend over for dinner, and get ready to enjoy an incredible episode.

Together, we’ll be delving deep into Frank Darabont’s adaptation of Stephen King’s novella, breaking down its themes, the film’s theatrical history and home video renaissance, and its lasting legacy, with powerful reflections on hope, friendship, and what it means to be free.

Cait brings more than just fandom to the table. With a BA in History and Religious Studies from Alverno College, an MA in Catholic Theology and Ministry from Catholic Theological Union, and ongoing graduate work in Library and Information Sciences with a focus on Youth Literature at Dominican University, she offers a rich, informed perspective on horror, history, and theology. Together, we don’t just discuss Richard Donner’s The Omen; we examine it through a theological lens. How accurate is its portrayal of religious themes? What anxieties was it tapping into? You’ll have to listen to find out. And the discussion doesn’t stop there.
