Cast Of The Pod: The Mimic — Korean Horror, Missing Movie Time & A Very Zesty DetourThis week on Cast Of The Pod, Josh, Deb, and Cantu take on The Mimic, the creepy Korean horror film that mixes family tragedy, folklore, mysterious voices, and something lurking in the woods.There's just one problem...Deb watched the entire movie. Josh watched the first 17 minutes. Cantu missed the last third.So naturally, we're qualified to review it.We break down The Mimic, talk about its creepy atmosphere, story, characters, scares, and the Korean folklore behind the movie. We also get into what worked, what didn't, and whether The Mimic delivers the kind of unsettling horror that sticks with you after the credits.And because this is Cast Of The Pod, the conversation doesn't exactly stay on the rails.The episode takes a sudden and uncomfortable turn as we discuss real-world tragedies, including the trial involving a mother who killed her three children and the stabbing in New York that was being discussed that day. It's one of those genuine record-scratch moments where the joking stops and the reality of what we're talking about hits hard.Then, because apparently we needed some emotional whiplash, we move on to something considerably happier:ZESTY DANCING AT LOCAL FLEA MARKETS.Yep.Korean horror → serious conversation → current events → flea-market dance moves.That's Cast Of The Pod.WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD.If you enjoy horror movie reviews, Korean horror films, supernatural horror, folklore, dark humor, movie discussions, and completely unpredictable podcast conversations, you've found your people.Listen, laugh, argue with us, and tell us what YOU thought about The Mimic.You Have Been Warned.Patreon / Club 3P:https://www.patreon.com/CastOfThePodTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@castofthepodInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/castofthepodFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/CastOfThePodTwitter/X:https://twitter.com/CastOfThePodYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@CastOfThePodReddit:https://www.reddit.com/r/CastOfThePod/Twitch:https://www.twitch.tv/castofthepodApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/7KwQpKRfbZ0m7P0YbvfuaQ?si=038e94f888144f86

Mausoleum (1983) — 64 Boob Comments?! | Cast Of The PodJosh, Deb, and Cantu take on the 1983 supernatural horror movie Mausoleum — and naturally, the conversation goes completely off the rails.This episode has everything you'd expect from Cast Of The Pod: 80s horror, strange demons, questionable movie decisions, plenty of laughs, and a whole lot of tangents.But this episode also has something very specific...64 boob/breast comments.That's right. Sixty-four.We're also joined by our over-the-phone contributor Chucky, the cheese sandwich-loving voice of reason... or at least a voice on the phone.And making her debut on the podcast is "Vanessa," the name Cantu gave Josh's ChatGPT assistant. Unfortunately for Vanessa, Josh has already decided that name isn't going to stick.So sit back as Josh, Deb, Cantu, Chucky, and the temporarily named Vanessa attempt to discuss Mausoleum while repeatedly wandering into completely unrelated territory.
