  • Episode 281: 'The Inheritance' (2024)/'The Mandela Effect Phenomenon' (2024)
    Jul 12 2024

    Horror has plenty of well-known franchises, but there are not many cinematic universes. Except for one very popular one. The Conjuring universe is probably not going away anytime soon, but the final movie in the series has been announced. We also talk about a franchise that was popular when we were younger, went away for a few years, then came back stronger than ever.

    The Inheritance sounds cut and dry. A rich family comes together for the first time in years in order to celebrate their father’s 75th birthday. He has brought them together because he knows someone is going to kill him that night and he wants them to stop it from happening. If they fail, they lose all of their inheritance.

    It is not long before things go in a completely different direction. What initially sounds like a straightforward mystery becomes a haunted house movie with twists and turns. Great visuals and a paranoid atmosphere make this one of the most pleasantly surprising movies of the year.

    On the other end of the spectrum is The Mandela Effect Phenomenon. It sounds interesting enough. A look at the possible causes and what it means for the future of humanity. But from the jump, it is clear that something is very wrong about this documentary.

    Bad interview subjects who do not seem to know what they are talking about, misleading videos, and contradicting information littered the film. It aimlessly wanders until it gets to the actual point. You need to read the Bible. Oh boy.

  • Episode 280: 'Re-Elected' (2020)/'Cold Blows the Wind' (2024)
    Jul 5 2024

    When we discussed an Emmanuelle movie earlier this year, we had no idea there was another one coming. And this one with a top flight notch cast. We also discuss Inside Out 2 crossing the $1 billion dollar mark at the box office and what it says about how we look at flops today. Though it probably will not make as much money, we are still excited about the upcoming Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and its upcoming world premiere.

    We all already know the country has an awful choice to make. When your choice is senile old white man or crazy old man is their a point in even making one? The answer is yes. Re-Elected from 2020 is a horror movie that knows exactly what it is. A goofy, kind of dumb, but all around fun watch that is not supposed to be taken seriously.

    You would figure that a movie from this era involving dead presidents would have all sorts of social commentary. Re-Elected does not have one thing to say about what is going on in today's world and is better for it. For starters, this is not that type of movie. It's not that horror cannot say anything relevant; it has always been light years ahead of other genres when it comes to that. It is more about some films being all about just turning off your brain and enjoying what you see at the most visceral level.

    Cold Blows the Wind is an awesomely named indie horror movie that constantly punches above its weight. It is a microbudget affair that is so good that it allows anyone watching to focus on the plot and characters instead of the value of the production. Filled with great performances and writing, even some noticeable missteps do not take away from the enjoyment.

    We also talk about what is appropriate nudity. For years now, we have talked about how today's cinema seems to fear be sexy, erotic, or just plain naked. The rub is, when done right, nudity can add to a film, even when it an argument can be made that it was not completely necessary. But necessary and appropriate are two entirely different things.

  • Episode 279: 'The Conqueror: Hollywood Fallout' (2024)/'The Omicron Killer' (2024)
    Jun 29 2024

    It is not often that we discuss Hallmark movies. But when it involves the Kansas City Chiefs, how can we avoid it? We also talk about the trailer for the upcoming remake of Nosferatu by Robert Eggers and a M3GAN spinoff with a really neat premise. We also discuss the importance of an AI girlfriend.

    Whenever we review a movie for our humble little podcast we inevitably ask ourselves, “Who is this movie for?” Never has the answer been harder than with The Conqueror: Hollywood Fallout. There is definitely something here for those who liked to hear stories about trouble productions, but overall, this is not that kind of movie.

    The film has a much darker story to tell. Along with the multiple cases of cancer among the cast and crew, it also goes into how the production affected the surrounding towns. A hard hitting watch, this is one of those releases that seems like it is for one audience that is accessible to anyone.

    Then there is The Omicron Killer which is not for anyone. This is bad in more ways than we can adequately describe. Awful comedy, a confusing plot, and nude scenes that even we find pointless, the film seems to go out of its way to alienate audiences. And not in the cute Troma way that ends up being charming.
