After discussing Rob Zombie’s original Halloween remake, the guys decide to take a run at the sequel, Halloween II. Colin is having none of it, Marcus doesn’t want to live in Zombie’s world, and while Dave can appreciate some of what Zombie was attempting, everybody agrees the movie is generally unpleasant, extremely violent, and narratively bizarre. Nobody understands (or cares about) ghostly apparitions and white horses, and we’re all confused why EVERY PERSON in Haddonfield a disgusting human being. While we want you to listen to the podcast, we can’t recommend actually watching the movie…..

This is the 5th Halloween franchise film the DMC podcast has discussed – Marcus and Colin blame Dave, and her agrees it’s his fault. But, while the movies haven’t been great, the podcasts are a lot of fun, so if you’d like to check out the earlier films we discussed, you can find them here:

• Rob Zombie’s Halloween remake
• Halloween 2018
• Halloween Kills
• Halloween Ends

Dave, Marcus, and Colin discuss Ridley Scott's sci-fi masterpiece Alien, the birth of the franchise, the artistry of the sets, and Veronica Cartwright's fantastic terror performance.

The guys discuss the film, the state of modern action and Netflix original films. Everybody loves the action but finds the rest of the story threadbare. They discuss the effectiveness of both “moist” and “wet” teams, compare the film to a Chili’s chicken sandwich, marvel at the range and speed of mini-taxis, and debate the best 80’s bubblegum brands/flavors. Lots of praise for Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans, but they can’t agree on which fictional super-assassin would win in a fight between Jason Bourne, Sierra Six or McCall from The Equlizer, but they agree recording the pod was probably more fun than the movie itself.
