Editor’s Note: On Mindhunter (2017-2019) David Fincher was an executive producer and directed 7 of the series’ 19 episodes. However, the show was created by Joe Penhall.
Also, “The Most Dangerous Game” was in fact a book, first published in 1924 (the RKO film came out in 1932). Arthur Leigh Allen said it was his favourite book in high school.

Episode 121 - Se7en, "What's in the box?!"
Join us as we continue our in depth discussion and analysis of the 1995 psychological crime thriller Se7en.
Trigger Warning: besides the usual (murder, gore etc), slight discussion of violent sexual content and be aware Kevin Spacey was also in the film
Directed by: David Fincher
Starring: Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt
After a brief much needed break we are back with a new theme for April - psychological thrillers. We’re starting with a heavy hitter, Fincher’s 1995 classic Se7en. The acting/dialogue does suffer from the overly dramatic trend of the ‘90s but over all the film still holds up. Also the cinematography is gorgeous and there's some epic makeup/prosthetics.

Tasha - 4 out of 5

Episode 120 - Leprechaun, “I need me gold”
Join us as we continue our in depth discussion and analysis of the 1992 horror comedy Leprechaun.
Directed by: Mark Jones
Starring: Warwick Davis and Jennifer Aniston
Editor’s Note: Full list of Leprechaun sequels in order of release date: Leprechaun 2, Leprechaun 3, Leprechaun 4: In Space, Leprechaun 5: In the Hood, Leprechaun 6: Back 2 The Hood, Leprechaun: Origins, and Leprechaun Returns. Warwick Davis stars in all except Origins and Returns. Davis portrays Professor Flitwick and Griphook the goblin in the Harry Potter franchise and several Star Wars characters including Wicket the Ewok (the one that first befriends Leia).
For our special St. Patrick’s weekend episode we watched the only logical choice: 1992’s Leprechaun. Silly, campy, and not very scary - it’s a fun watch but maybe not a rewatch.

Episode 119 - The Hallow - “weird and wonderful”
Join us as we continue our in depth discussion and analysis of the 2015 Irish folk horror film The Hallow.
Directed by: Corin Hardy
Starring: Joseph Mawle and Bojana Novakovic
Editor’s Note: Apologies for my [Ash] clunky audio this week - apparently my mic wasn’t working and I had to crank the other mics way up to make it work.
For our second Irish-Folklore-Medley theme film we watched 2015’s The Hallow. You will see the similarities between this and The Last of Us - the first game came out just 2 years before this movie. However, the film mixes this new sci-fi with old school folklore making the story unique. Despite a few instances of obvious CGI this movie is definitely worth the watch - but be wary if you have a hard time with body horror.

Tasha - 5 out of 10
Julia - 5.5 out of 10
Jack-O-Lantern Ratings:
Tasha - 3.5 out of 5
Julia - 3.5 out of 5
