THE POSTER SAYS...
Cinema's greatest and most memorable taglines. Finally getting their close-up.
Every great movie has a poster. Every great poster has a line.
Five words. Maybe ten. Written by someone whose name almost nobody knows or remembers... and somehow, decades later, you can still recite it word for word.
The Poster Says... digs into the taglines that sold us the movies we never forgot. Who wrote them. Why they worked. What they promised BEFORE you sat down in that theater seat... and whether they actually delivered AFTER the credits rolled.
Each episode, a guest, a film, and one perfect (or perfectly ridiculous) tagline... pulled apart, celebrated, and occasionally roasted, with the people who know storytelling best.
Because somebody had to talk about this stuff!
📅 Thursdays — 7PM ET
The Truman Show (1998) — "On The Air. Unaware." (with Jacob Rhines)
It started as a conversation about a 1998 Jim Carrey film. It became one of the most unexpectedly profound episodes this show has ever produced. "On The Air. Unaware." — four words that hold everything. Jacob Rhines joins Nate for The Truman Show.
Halloween (1978)— “The Night HE Came Home!” (w/ The Curious Mr. Blend)
One capital letter. Forty-five years of dread. The most analyzed tagline in horror history — and nobody knows who wrote it. Nate and the perfectly matched Curious Mr. Blend of Pumpkinlight Cove dig into Halloween (1978) and the night HE came home.
Army of Darkness (1992) — "Time... Evil... Gas" (with Neal Vaadeland)
Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. Neal Vaadeland joins Nate for Army of Darkness (1992), talking skeletons, an NC-17 fight, and a missed shot at Medieval Dead.
The Fly (1986) — "Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid." (with Stacy Berro)
"Be afraid. Be very afraid." Five words. A direct command. One of the most famous horror taglines ever written — and this episode, The Poster Says... finally finds the author. You are not going to see it coming. Voice actor Stacy Berro joins Nate to dig in.
Ghostbusters (1984) — "Who ya gonna call?" (with Mary Morgan)
"Who ya gonna call?" wasn't even the original tagline. Ray Parker Jr. wrote it as a song lyric — and the audience turned it into the most recognized question in blockbuster history. Nate and fellow voice actor Mary Morgan dig in.
