  • Nosferatu (2024)
    Oct 19 2026
    Robert Eggers' Nosferatu (2024) closes out the JaZ spooky season, and John and Zac have very different reactions to it. The guys dig into how this moody, gorgeous remake stacks up against F.W. Murnau's 1922 original and Bram Stoker's novel, debate whether Bill Skarsgård's Count Orlok is genuinely unsettling or gets upstaged by Willem Dafoe's scenery-chewing Von Franz, and pick apart what Lily-Rose Depp's Ellen Hutter says about repression, obsession, and agency in gothic horror. Along the way: a very confused tangent about vampire anatomy, a Dracula: Dead and Loving It comparison nobody saw coming, and a real debate on whether style is quietly winning out over story in modern horror. Great episode for horror fans who love picking a movie apart scene by scene — even, especially, the parts that don't quite land. SHOW NOTES Film: Nosferatu (2024) Director: Robert Eggers Starring: Bill Skarsgård, Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, Willem Dafoe, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Simon McBurney Based on: F.W.

  • Widow's Bay (2026)
    Oct 5 2026

    It's spooky season, and John and Zac are digging into Widow's Bay, Apple TV+'s new horror-comedy from creator Katie Dippold (Parks and Recreation) and executive producer Hiro Murai (Atlanta). Starring Matthew Rhys, Kate O'Flynn, Dale Dickey, Stephen Root, and Kevin Carroll, the series follows a small island town forced to reckon with the dark bargain its founders struck centuries ago to keep everyone alive. The guys break down why horror and comedy work so well together, trace the show's Jaws and X-Files DNA, play an ill-prepared character-actor trivia game, and debate whether Widow's Bay can dodge the Stranger Things/Lost trap heading into season 2. There's also a theory about Ruth being a vampire that you need to hear. Fair warning: this is a full season one breakdown, so it gets spoiler-heavy once they hit the finale.

  • Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)
    Sep 21 2026

    The Next Generation crew's final voyage gets put on trial. On this episode of JaZ Make a Podcast, we dig into Star Trek Nemesis — the 2002 film that closes out the TNG movie era with Tom Hardy as Shinzon, a Romulan-engineered clone of Jean-Luc Picard hell-bent on revenge.

    We break down how closely Nemesis mirrors Wrath of Khan's structure (right down to Data's death echoing Spock's), whether that borrowed skeleton sinks the film or just makes it comfortable, and why a plot built on so much happenstance — a planted android lure, "classified" files anyone can access — keeps undercutting its best ideas.

    Along the way: the nature vs. nurture parallel between Picard and Shinzon, Data's memory transfer to B4, how Nemesis stacks up against Star Trek VI and TNG's own clone episodes ("Up the Long Ladder," "Bloodlines"), the film's genuinely strong cinematography and effects, and director Stuart Baird's now-legendary lack of Star Trek knowledge going in.

    Lifelong Trekkies and Nemesis skeptics alike — we give this one a fair trial, prosecution and defense both included.
