We are a small, independently produced and managed podcast. Our only goal for the show is to entertain our listeners. That being said, we also are fully aware of the atrocities occurring here in America every day. Those who find solace in the MAGA agenda and this current administration have no place in our community and we do not want their patronage nor downloads. Immigrants, LGBT+, non-Americans, and anyone who supports diversity and inclusivity, you have our support.

A NOTE FROM THE HOSTS:

10 years ago on August 15th, 2016, 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 our anniversary special, we’re looking back at the podcast’s journey to make it to this incredible milestone, revisiting some unforgettable moments, and celebrating everything in our show’s legacy. Thank you so much for all of your support over the past decade. We look forward to many more years of covering some of cinema’s bleakest endings. Listen wherever you get podcasts or watch the YouTube video here.

THE SILVER LININGS PLAYLIST'S 10TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL IS OUT NOW!

LATEST EPISODE

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

October 26th, 2026
LISTEN NOW

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 directing Natalie Schafer’s final film role, but there’s still a lot to discuss with this one. So put on your finest red dress and make sure you’ve got at least two big bottles of vodka and three gallons of ice cream as we discuss the movie, plus other great moments such as JT getting upset at how dance scenes are filmed in movies, the “gayest space”, how to properly pronounce “Tobe”, and so much more with returning guest David Arnold of Fear Coded.

You can check out Fear Coded here. You can also check out the Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective here.

I’m Dangerous Tonight stars Mädchen Amick, Corey Parker, Daisy Hall, R. Lee Ermey, Dee Wallace, Natalie Schafer, Mary Frann, Jason Brooks, and Anthony Perkins. Directed by Tobe Hooper.

WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THE PATREON THIS WEEK

International Men of Commentaries - Episode 2: Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (Live Syncable Commentary)

As we wrap up International Men of Commentaries (maybe forever), we’re going out with another classic golden flick for Goldtober with 1995’s GoldenEye, the first in the Brosnan canon of Bond films. While less than stellar outputs like Die Another Day and The World is Not Enough overshadowed his tenure as the character, this one is still fantastic and deserves a reevaluation. Get cozy and enjoy the dulcet tones of the Éric Serra score and our soothing voices as we watch one of the great Bond films and discuss less than stellar fan interactions with Famke Jensen at conventions, James’s ineptitude in the bedroom, and of course a ton of puns. Plus you won’t want to miss the announcement of our next miniseries.
