    Christmas with the Kranks

    America never understood the appeal of the Krankies, as evidenced by this woefully botched adaptation.  ...None of that is true, but it would have been more entertaining than this absolute nothing of a film from 2004. Still, Happy Christmas.  SHOW US SOME LOVE:  You can support the podcast by Buying us a coffee Buy our book Get Bea's brain on your creative project with Script Doctor Services here

    House of Dynamite

    It's the end of the world as we know it, and we feel conned.  Oscar winner Kathryn Bigelow turns in a frankly unfinished movie that might or might not be about a nuclear strike on America. We'll never know! Console yourself with the brief appearances of some actors you like and let us be frustrated on your behalf.    SHOW NOTES:  Jo Light's great story analysis of House of Dynamite on No Film School SHOW US SOME LOVE:  You can support the podcast by Buying us a coffee Buy our book Get Bea's brain on your creative project with Script Doctor Services here

    Weapons, Recommendations & Feminist Horror

    A Halloween roundup episode as we talk about things that we didn't critique fully, things we actually liked, and why feminism remains a battleground in horror as well as in increasingly horrifying reality.    SHOW NOTES:  Find out more about the F-Rating project 'Last Fuckable Day' comedy sketch    SHOW US SOME LOVE:  You can support the podcast by Buying us a coffee Buy our book Get Bea's brain on your creative project with Script Doctor Services here

    Wolf Man

    Even a man who is pure of heart, and says his prayers at night, May become a wolf in a promising film that rapidly turns to shite...  Invisible Man writer/director Leigh Whanell tries to reinvent another classic monster franchise, and while it's not a total howler it definitely goes to the dogs by the final act. We do our best to diagnose where this often-quite-good horror story falls apart.  SHOW US SOME LOVE:  You can support the podcast by Buying us a coffee Buy our book Get Bea's brain on your creative project with Script Doctor Services here

    Salem's Lot (2024)

    Because we're not allowed anything new, someone decided to dig up Stephen King's 1975 novel, infect it with some of the existing 1980 adaptation, and turn it into this pale, anemic, soulless version of itself.   It's the story of a small town being taken over by the undead, under the command of a mysterious, wealthy stranger. Vampires don't show up in mirrors, but audiences didn't show up at all. There's plenty of sucking, just not the kind you'd want.

    28 Years Later

    Twenty-three years after the initial zombie outbreak, it's "28 Years Later", because these people are film makers not mathematicians, dammit!   A weird, interesting, sort-of-good film with the weirdest ending in recent memory, we take a look at a horror film in which Britain has become a dystopian, isolated, backwards-facing failed state. If you can picture that.   SHOW US SOME LOVE:  You can support the podcast by Buying us a coffee Buy our book Get Bea's brain on your creative project with Script Doctor Services here
