You HAVE to SAVE This Movie! | The Wrath of God (1972) YourCaptainSpeaking 2026-03-10 | In 1971, author Jack Higgins, writing under the pen name, James Graham, crafted a South of the Border story where the sins of violent men, the hopes of desolate communities, and the retribution of the divine take center stage. One year later, award winning filmmaker, Ralph Nelson, took to the desert to tell his version of the same story for the silver screen. With a shifting media landscape and distribution woes threatening to swallow it forever, 1972’s The Wrath of God is making its last stand.So fill your hands, lads. It’s our job to save him. Let’s make sure he doesn’t go quietly.Special thanks to the awesome voice talents for this video!Frankie Frain - @RedCowEntertainment Trevor Hart - @catchinguponcinema Jay Hunter - @OSW

Theres NO GOOD Adaptations of Phantom of The Opera YourCaptainSpeaking 2025-10-30 | Wherever and whenever gothic horror and fiction is discussed, Dracula is the first to be mentioned. The next person will chime in with Frankenstein, maybe the works of Edgar Allen Poe, but inevitably, when it comes to that traditional mix of dank and dark, romantic and repulsive, melodramatic and macabre, The Phantom of the Opera will loom large. Everyone knows the tropes. The masked monster at his organ is an image so burned into pop culture, it’s instantly recognizable. But few seem to venture to the original text. And I aim to change that.Original Opening Theme by Cody HainesChannel Logo by Konrad Słodowicz
