    Dark Discussions Podcast – Episode 617 – SIGNIFICANT OTHER (2022)

    Dark Discussions Podcast – Episode 617 – SIGNIFICANT OTHER (2022)

    As stated many times on this podcast, the Greys, the white and hairless aliens, are one of the monsters in the horror and science fiction genre that seem not to get enough screen time in film.  In 2022, the Paramount film SIGNIFICANT OTHER alluded to space invaders or some sort of being that may play a prominent role in the movie’s story.
    Ruth (Maika Monroe (IT FOLLOWS)) and Harry (Jake Lacy (THE WHITE LOTUS)) head out for a camping trip in the woods of the Northwestern United States.  It was supposed to be a romantic time, with Harry even planning something special at an overlook of the Pacific Ocean that means a lot to him.  However, the two find the dead body of a deer that is covered with a black substance that doesn’t seem like any type of moss they’ve ever seen.
    The film was co-directed and co-written by Dan Berk and Robert Olsen.  The film received buzz with it starring screamqueen Maika Monroe.  As for reviews, the movie has a fair score of 71% by the Rotten Tomatoes meter.  With its interesting twist in the middle of the film, and an unexpected ending that oddly works, your co-hosts take a look at the structure of the movie and give their thoughts on the film as a whole.

    Dark Discussions Podcast - Episode 616 - MONOLITH (2024)

    Dark Discussions Podcast - Episode 616 - MONOLITH (2024)

    The recently released film, MONOLITH (2024), is technically older as it was shown back in 2022.  An Australian film, the movie took a slow path before eventually getting a full release.  It went from festival to festival before arriving to VOD in January 2024 with a Blu-ray release set for April 2024.
    A failed and questionable journalist (Lily Sullivan) has started a podcast to try to rebuild her career.  Unlike her prior calling, she has instead focused on the bizarre and unknown to try to get acknowledgment.  When an anonymous email is sent to her telling her to get in contact with a woman named Floramae (Ling Cooper Tang), the podcaster heads down a rabbit hole that may lead to a mystery that she may want to investigate.
    The movie was written by Lucy Campbell and directed by Matt Vesely.  With only Lily Sullivan (EVIL DEAD RISE (2023)) on screen, the movie follows her as she calls and talks to various other characters throughout the world as the puzzling mystery unfolds in front of her.  Your co-hosts take a look at this new movie and give their thoughts.

Essential Dark Discussions

One of my essential genre film podcasts. I like the fact that the episodes are themed around specific films, franchises, retrospectives, conventions and books, which means that the hosts can really get stuck into the topic at hand. There is a always a section at the beginning where they discuss what they have been watching/reading, which is great for recommendations. There are often guests on too, depending on the topic, which makes for detailed dark discussions. Hugely recommended.
