Episode #292 – 30 Days of Night
This week kicks off our October Horror month in which we watch – you guessed it – horror films. Our criteria this year involved films we either missed, films we wanted to see, or like in the case of the film we picked this week – films that were available. That’s right! We’re watching 30 Days of Night, a movie with an interesting premise that will have you going “vampires kill me now.” It’s certainly a rough watch, but we have fun tearing it apart.

Episode #290 – Mary Poppins Returns
This week on the podcast we trip a little light fantastic – or at least try to – with Mary Poppins Returns, the “just okay” sequel to the 1964 Disney classic.

Episode #288 – Alita: Battle Angel
This week on the podcast we’re talking about Alita: Battle Angel, the film from Robert Rodriguez which was written by James Cameron. It’s quite a movie, with some excellent casting choices and a vibrant, lived in world, and we regret that it didn’t do better in theaters. Truly, if you didn’t see it in theaters, you missed out.
