    MIDSOMMAR (2019)

    "A couple travel to Sweden to visit their friend's rural hometown for its fabled midsummer festival, but what begins as an idyllic retreat quickly devolves into an increasingly violent and bizarre competition at the hands of a pagan cult."   None of the synopses really get the pitch right but what the hell, this'll do.   Dir: Ari Aster   Joined for this one by Marcus and Seb of THE RETURN OF THE REPRESSED podcast

    96 - The Belgian X-Files 19: 1985 (Epilogue)

    "Set against the backdrop of Belgium's most notorious unsolved crime spree, 1985 begins as three friends - Vicky, her brother Franky, and his best friend Marc - begin a new chapter of their lives, when they set off from their hometown to Brussels. But as their adulthood and careers in the big city commence, the trio risks losing their innocence and noble illusions, as they find themselves caught in the middle of the horrifying events that shocked a generation and will come to leave a scar on the entire country."   Nic joins me for an epilogue of sorts to talk about the very good TV show 1985 and kickstart MOVIE SEASON the right way.   SUPPORT THE SHOW HERE: https://www.patreon.com/c/GhostStoriesForTheEnd   BELGIAN X-FILES SOUNDTRACK HERE: https://ghoststoriesfortheendoftheworld.bandcamp.com/album/the-belgian-x-files-a-soundtrack

    94 - The Belgian X-Files 17 - Dutroux Affair vi: A World Inside the World

    Myself and @IRC_NIC discuss the sheer size of the case and consider what The Sprawl means. We go long on how the cops and the media conspired to kill the network angle, and then we look at the truly global scale of the Dutroux Affair and break down what, exactly, the Network was, its historical origins, the social context, how it worked, where it came from, and how it dealt with the threat of exposure.   **SUPPORT THE SHOW HERE** https://www.patreon.com/GhostStoriesForTheEnd
