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 232: The Mortuary Collection
(2019) (with Michael Moss)

October 12th, 2026
LISTEN NOW

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 don’t pay off in most of the segments, and there are clear indications of a green director behind most scenes. That being said, there are some genuinely great moments in this movie, so make sure you grab protection and lock your doors as we rip into this one plus discuss such topics as applying for jobs you’re overqualified for, blending meals, the prophecy and etymology of “67”, and confronting our returning guest Michael Moss about the Hamnet trailer.

The Mortuary Collection stars Barak Hardley, Jacob Elordi, Brennan Murray, Ema Horvath, Michael Bow, Anthony Fontana, and Tristan Byon. Directed by Ryan Spindell.

Join us as we watch along and discuss the film, plus the fantastic subgenre of Blaxploitation flicks, the origin of Goldmember’s character design, and so much more.
