Hey Horror Fans!!!This week we are joined by David Joseph Craig and Brian Crano, the filmmakers (and real life couple) behind I Don't Understand You, a sharp and offbeat dark comedy about an American couple navigating the adoption process while on vacation in Italy. As tensions rise and misunderstandings multiply, the film explores what it means to stay connected when everything around you starts to fall apart...and turn murderous!!We talk with David and Brian about drawing from their own journey toward parenthood, how they approached the story's unique mix of humor and discomfort, and why they wanted to center a queer couple whose love isn't in question. We also get into the pitch perfect performances from Nick Kroll and Andrew Rannells, the grounding warmth of Amanda Seyfried, and the joy of working with Italian legend Nunzia Schiano. Funny, tense, tender, violent and totally original, this is a conversation you wont want to miss about love under pressure, identity abroad, and the messy beauty of trying to be understood sooo....COME HANG OUT!!!Follow Us on Social Media:Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpodTikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorrorSteve: @stevenisaverage on all socialsSean: @hypocrite.ink on IG/TikTok, @hypocriteink on Twitter/XEnjoy this episode?

This is a fun episode of BEHIND THE LENS as I'm doing something this week that I haven't done before – and that is give you an interview with a film's director, followed by my interview with his cinematographer. The film is the thriller BARRON'S COVE. The director/writer is EVAN ARI KELMAN. The cinematographer is MATTHEW JENSEN. But hilarity also ensues today thanks to co-writers/directors DAVID JOSEPH CRAIG and BRIAN CRANO as they talk about their new laugh-filled collaboration, I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU. First up, I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU. Based on their own life experiences, David and Brian give us Dom (Nick Kroll) and Cole (Andrew Rannells), a couple on the verge of adopting a baby, embark on an Italian vacation — the perfect opportunity to reconnect before the new addition arrives. Everything is picture-perfect, the epitome of a European babymoon, when things begin to spiral out of control. Lost on the way to dinner, their car gets stuck in a ditch, stranding them in rural nowhere during a torrential downpour. These two Americans, who are used to being catered to, are now in a foreign land with no cell service, zero comprehension of the Italian language, and, as fear takes over, escalating turmoil that could explode at any moment. Co-Written and Co-Directed by Brian Crano and David Joseph Craig, I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU stars Nick Kroll, Andrew Rannells (who was a Grand Marshall in yesterday's pride parade in Hollywood), Morgan Spector, Nunzia Schiano, Eleanora Romandini, Paolo Romano, and Amanda Seyfried. Then we switch gears from laughter to the nail-biting tension of a thriller – BARRON'S COVE. Written and Directed by EVAN ARI KELMAN, BARRON'S COVE stars Garrett Hedlund, Brittany Snow, Christian Convery, Hamish Linklater, Stephen Lang, and Raul Castillo. BARRON'S COVE follows a father with a violent past (Hedlund) as he grieves the sudden loss of his only child. Convinced of a cover-up and intent on obtaining answers about his son's death, he kidnaps the troubled boy he holds responsible – the son of a prominent local politician, which ignites a media firestorm and frenzied manhunt. But as he grows ever closer to uncovering the truth, he is left to wonder whether his pursuers are really seeking to protect the boy or merely the secrets he keeps. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

Brian Crano & David Joseph Craig are a married writer/director duo: David began his career as a writer and performer at the Upright Citizens Brigade in New York City and has worked with director Joel Edgerton for over a decade producing and acting in features Boy Erased and The Gift. Brian's directorial debut, A Bag Of Hammers, starred Jason Ritter and Rebecca Hall and premiered at SXSW.

It's about money we talk about this money-tested film that made a lot of time at the box office, In Time. It's a very subtle critique of capitalism that surely flew over most people's heads and will be appreciated in another money as one of the smartest movies ever. Just kidding! Really flimsy time/money exchange rates, displaying bank accounts in plain sight, the Robin Hood ending and so much more to be discussed here! Just listen! You've got plenty of money!

“I think income inequality really greatly contributes to the rage that people might feel, even as some Americans won't. What don't recognize that a more communal society might benefit them. What they see instead is, why don't I have what that person has? Something's getting in my way. And it's not a lack of, of community, it's: somebody else is keeping me down, you know? And that's, I think that's a theme that emerges in The God of the Woods.I think there's a certain thread in American history of, like, individualism at all costs. The Van Laars named their house Self-reliance, which is a testament to the idea that they, I think, falsely believe themselves to have, have created their own power, their own capital, their own wealth, and ignore the fact that it's really the labor of the working class community around them- that, and of the people of Albany who've invested their money in the Van Laars Bank - that that really contributed to the acquisition of this enormous wealth that they now have and this enormous power that they now have.”Liz Moore is the author of the New York Times bestselling novel Long Bright River, which was one of Barack Obama's favorite books of the year, and has been made into a Peacock series starring Amanda Seyfried. Set against the opioid crisis and a string of mysterious murders, it's a love story between two very different sisters and their path to recovery.

It's a quick but full episode this week where we cover, Black Bag, Adolescence, Long Bright River, and Stillwater. Kevin immediately thrust Lauren into the limelight, as the she just finished Black Bag not long before recording. It's sexy(ish) spy thriller(ish) starring Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett. It's a hair less sexy and exciting than Lauren was expecting, but it was an overall solid film. Next up, Kevin talk about one of his favorite show in recent years, Adolescence on Netflix. It's a fascinating show from a technical standpoint, as every episode is done in a single take. The amount of work that went into just that is staggering! Add to that some amazing performances and a fantastic story, and this show should be very popular come award season. Note that the story is not a mind bender. It won't trick you with plot twists or keep you guessing. It is all about emotion and delivers in spades. Lauren takes over the rest of the show, as Kevin didn't watch much this week. So her next watch is Long Bright River on Peacock. It stars Amanda Seyfried as a police officer with a unique attachment to the impoverished women in her area. The story takes a turn as her sister goes missing, also. Lauren hasn't finished the series and isn't necessarily blown away by it, but she's interested enough to finish, so there's that... The show closes with Lauren taking us back in time to 2021 with the film Stillwater. If you're familiar with the Amanda Knox story, this film will make a lot of sense. A 20-something woman in France is arrested for and convicted of murder. Her father, a blue collar man with a checkered history in Stillwater, Oklahoma, travels to France to be by her side and help with her defense. It's a solid drama and probably Lauren's favorite pick of the week. As always, thank you for watching. If you haven't already, don't forget to Like & Subscribe. We love new viewers! Also, leave us comments and let is know how we are doing and what we can be doing better. Enjoy the episode and have a great week!

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on Fez. We talk about its platforming and how it fits to taste, game style, and rule escalation. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: More cubes! Issues covered: platforming feelings and taste, inspirations and how they play out here, additional move set, floaty physics, a mental game with mostly generous platforming, a game that takes place in your head rather than in your fingers, seeking high highs, sloppiness and guiding the player, no longer seeing the whole world but only the tells, the pleasure of figuring things out, checking out the achievements, how many people get everything, the craft of the game, wanting to feel capable, finding a solution that was not the intended solution, dominated by the puzzle side, those moments where you give a big "no way," extending a simple idea and iterating on it for a fleshed-out game, iterating ideas, a chain of implication, not making the leaps of logic too large, ladders that line up and teach you how to think about the world, not knowing whether you can do a thing yet, not wanting to diminish the revelations, puzzles games Brett hasn't finished and why, editorial from the publisher and Key Performance Indicators, finding a tribe for your indie game, side games, smaller and more cohesive teams, a choose-your-own-email, having an experience, leaving endings open. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Hollow Knight, Indie Game: The Movie, Phil Fish, Nintendo, Mario (series), Little Big Planet, Guacamelee, Super Mario Galaxy, Demons's Souls, Dark Souls, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Tomb Raider (2013), The Matrix, Deep Thoughts/Jack Handey, MYST, Pierre de Fermat, Megaman, Resident Evil, The Witness, Braid, The Talos Principle, Obduction, Cyan Worlds, Super Meat Boy, Fallout, X-COM, mysterydip, Mass Effect, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Twin Peaks, Half-Life, While We're Young, Noah Baumbach, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.  Next time: More Fez! Note: Amusingly, though I did not call out the actresses, Naomi Watts and Amanda Seyfried appear in While We're Young, and both also appeared in Twin Peaks: The Return Twitch: timlongojr Discord DevGameClub@gmail.com

The film, originally pitched to audiences as a kind of feminine slasher, is a far more interesting and layered piece than its first audiences recognized.Also featuring a Patron-only "Whatcha" segment, this is a lively and thoughtful discussion that we really hope you enjoy!Patron Only Segment: Whatcha Watchin' / Readin' / Listenin' To?3:23 - JENNIFER'S BODYSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week we review cult horror-comedy classic, Jennifer's Body! Is 16 years long enough to be a cult classic? After missing this movie when it came out, we heard it went through a bit of a cultural renaissance the past few years so we thought we should give it a watch and see for ourselves.  Megan Fox stars as Jennifer Check, a high school student who becomes possessed by a demon and begins hunting the local boys at her school. It is up to her best friend Needy, played by Amanda Seyfried, to put a stop to the bloodshed and save her town!    Thanks for stopping by!

The very busy actress, Laila Robins, was recently seen in Ryan Murphy's anthology series, American Horror Stories. She also has a recurring role as Colonel Grace Mallory on the hugely popular Amazon series, The Boys.  Laila starred opposite Amanda Seyfried in the Apple+ limited series, The Crowded Room and opposite Joshua Jackson and Alec Baldwin in the Hulu limited series, Dr. Death.  She also recurred memorably as Katarina Rostova on the hit NBC series The Blacklist, and she had a major arc playing Pamela Milton on the final season of AMC's The Walking Dead.  Among, Laila's many film appearances are: Eye in the Sky, Side Effects, Blumenthal, Concussion, The Good Shepherd, An Innocent Man, Welcome Home Roxy Carmichael, True Crime, and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.  You may have also seen her in such TV series as: The Handmaid's Tale, Homeland, Deception, 30 Rock, So Help Me Todd, Bull, Person of Interest, Blue Bloods, Damages, In Treatment, The Sopranos, Law and Order, and the series lead in Gabriel's Fire opposite the late, legendary James Earl Jones. Laila's work on Broadway includes Heartbreak House, the Tony-nominated play Frozen, and The Real Thing, as well as Off-Broadway in: the quartet of Richard Nelson's Apple Family plays. She's also appeared around the U.S. in numerous stage performances in shows such as: The Lady from Dubuque, Antony and Cleopatra, A Midsummer's Night's Dream, Sore Throats, Tiny Alice, Mrs. Klein, The Merchant of Venice, and many productions at The Guthrie in her hometown of St. Paul/Minneapolis, including Hedda Gabler and The Lion in Winter.   Over the years, I've enjoyed quite a few of Laila's on-screen performances in shows of which I'm a big fan, including everything she did in The Walking Dead, Homeland, The Blacklist and The Boys. Laila never hits a false note even when the stories in which she's acting brilliantly defy reality.Of note: Laila also happens to be married to a favorite StoryBeat guest, and someone to whom I owe a great debt of gratitude, the phenomenal actor and singer, Robert Cuccioli, who originated the roles of Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde in the musical I created with Frank Wildhorn, Jekyll & Hyde.

Who has managed to stay in the conversation this week? Jodi and Kate Halliwell first make note of some genuinely disparate topics, including celebrities' penchant for going to space, Ben Affleck possibly sniffing around Jennifer Garner again, and Amanda Seyfried unofficially auditioning for an unofficial Joni Mitchell biopic (6:45). Then, they talk about everything from the 97th Oscars week, from the fallout of Adrien Brody's speech to Jason Ritter making a video of himself pretending to fight off lesbians in his living room over his gorgeous wife Melanie Lynskey (20:20). After that, they deep dive into three divas who have stayed in the conversation in big ways: K-pop star Lisa and her role on ‘The White Lotus' and in the Oscars dreadful James Bond medley (37:39), Gabby Windey and her iconic TikTok and podcast (43:30), and Doechii and her new viral single ‘Anxiety' (54:00).
