It's time to take a trip into the unknown... yes, the movie industry! It's another episode where we find a large, mostly unmemorable, ship crew slowly picked off one by one by a mysterious entity. Join us for discussions on the meaning of life, religion, and mutated penguins. At the Mountains of Madness is adapted from the 1931 tale by H.P. Lovecraft of the same name. The 2010 script is a passion project of Guillermo Del Toro, written by him and Matthew Robins. http://www.reelopinions.com Audio mixing by Jack Foley and soundscapes found through Freesound.
