Real Horror Fans Watch Year-Round & Brewster’s Millions: Feel Good Flick

Johnny Spoiler breaks down the ultimate nerd hierarchy, calling out those who only indulge in horror movies during Halloween. Real horror fans know—it's a year-round lifestyle, not just a seasonal fling!

But in a twist of irony, Johnny is here to talk about something different: feel-good movies for the feel-good season as we drift toward the holidays and inevitable financial ruin. Between bouncing credit cards for Christmas gifts and existential reflections, he dives into some movie headlines, including Warner Bros. blaming Joaquin Phoenix for Joker 2's flops, a new American Psycho adaptation, and the upcoming Alien Romulus VHS edition.

The main event of the episode, however, is a deep dive into Brewster’s Millions—one of Johnny's all-time favorites. The 1985 comedy starring Richard Pryor and John Candy holds up as a charming, feel-good adventure with a working-class edge. Johnny drops some lesser-known trivia on the film, from the connection to 48 Hours to a fun fact about John Candy being born on Halloween.

In typical Johnny fashion, he also rants about Brothers on Amazon Prime, a film that couldn’t quite live up to the hype despite its star-studded cast. Finally, this episode wraps with Johnny’s favorite bits from Brewster’s Millions, including its touching moments, hilarious camaraderie, and why it’s a “binge now” recommendation.
