It's time for Life in the Fast Lane, Tokyo Drift Minute 21, and a deep dive into Bow Wow... and Frankie Muniz? After reviewing a surprisingly low amount of Vinstagrams -- Effort, is on you... -- we uncover a wild fact about Planet X that shakes us to our cores. We discuss the reception to The Smashing Machine in Venice, what hours Cha Cha Cha is open, and the most troubling scene in Tokyo Drift when you factor in in the franchise's retcon. In Extracurricular Activities, we talk about reality TV, Barbarian (and other horror movies), and Silksong. Joe imagines what it would be like to talk to Vin Diesel.

Editor - Joe Murphy Weapons editor Joe Murphy probably had no idea when he interviewed with Zach Cregger over a Zoom call that, in a relatively short amount of time, they would collaborate on not one, but two hit horror films.  Regardless, Joe says that call wasn't just about getting to know each other, but also about ensuring a supportive and frank collaboration; key ingredients for him in being able to articulate the director's vision effectively.  Weapons unfolds in chapters around six main characters, which presented a unique challenge in introducing new characters multiple times throughout the film.  According to Joe, the key was finding the balance between familiarizing the audience with these characters while maintaining narrative momentum. Zach Cregger's Weapons follows the seemingly inexplicable case of seventeen children from the same classroom who mysteriously run away on the same night at the same time, having been apparently abducted by an unseen force. Joe Murphy Prior to his work on Weapons, Joe cut such films as On Swift Horses (2024), Paper Soldiers (2020), and Zach Cregger's first horror feature, Barbarian (2022).

PLOT: When all but one child from the same class mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance.

He dreamed up Conan the Barbarian from his lonely town of Cross Plains, Texas. But where did Robert E. Howard find his inspiration for the sword-and- sorcery, weird tales that still resonate today? Howard dipped his pen in the inkwell of Texas history, tall tales and the boom and bust of the oil fields. How Conan is really a Texan.

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 323: Cinematographer Larkin Seiple Cinematographer Larkin Seiple was ready to take a well-deserved break after wrapping the film Wolfs when director Zach Cregger sent him the script for Weapons. Larkin loved the horror mystery/thriller and that it follows the characters through the story from beginning to end. “It was the most fun I'd had reading a script for a really long time,” he says. Larkin, who is not a big horror fan, watched Cregger's previous movie, Barbarian and enjoyed his approach to the genre. “In the first five minutes, I could instantly tell that Zach knew what he was doing. I was like, if this is what he's doing with Barbarian, then I'm very curious to see what he wants to do with Weapons.” Larkin and Cregger met, immediately connected, and began shotlisting and brainstorming for Weapons. Cregger was brutal about keeping coverage shots to a minimum, so the audience only sees enough to keep the story going. This meant few establishing shots or characters driving from one destination to another. But with a short shooting schedule and hundreds of scenes in the script, it was essential to have fewer shots when possible. Crafting the look of Weapons proved challenging, due to the time of year they were shooting. Originally, the film was planned for winter, when the setting would be dreary and melancholy, but they ended up shooting during summertime in Georgia. “We ultimately wanted to find a look that kind of enhanced the scenery and the mood,” explains Larkin. “Something very melancholy, and this sense of something evil happening, and the sense of frustration.” Since the look was dark and moody, more windows were built into the sets so that diffused light could come in, which was shaped with negative fill. Night shots looked natural, with lights and a camera mounted on a condor crane in the neighborhood location. With about 249 scenes to shoot, Larkin was very involved in scheduling and location scouting for Weapons. The crew had to move extremely quickly, averaging about 6-8 scenes per day. “You're relighting and re-blocking six to eight times and trying to do it as quickly as possible,” Larkin says. “We found ways to do a lot of it in one shot or two, which affected the visual language of the movie. It was a very ambitious approach to the shoot. You're working with child actors that turn into pumpkins after six hours.” The crew had two months of prep, which Larkin used to scout and create photoboards for each location. “It was a very laborious process, but there was no problem solving on the day. Photoboarding forces you to do all the problem solving because you're there- unlike storyboarding, which is very cute,” he remarks. “Being on the ground and being on the location, you actually get to see what you're up against.” Weapons maintains constant camera movement throughout, speeding the story along and propelling each character's point of view through their ordeals during the film. But the camera never reveals anything before the time is right. “There's a maliciousness to the camera in that it does show you information but it's not gonna help you,” laughs Larkin. “It's very much trying to enhance what is going on, trying to put you in the shoes of the characters to be like, what was that? The camera ALSO wants to know what that was!” Find Larkin Seiple: http://www.larkinseiple.com/ Instagram: @larksss See Weapons currently in theaters.

A Company of Wolves (1984), Nightbreed (1990), Errementari (2017) As horror fans, we might not really think about the amount of horror elements that are in other sub-genres, such as fantasy. Sure, we all know titles like Conan the Barbarian (1982) that has a guy who turns into a giant snake, or Legend (1985) where one of the main characters is some sort of demon or devil, do those elements make it a horror film? We all know that horror is used in many different genres of films, even some where the filmmakers themselves go out of their way to make sure to define it NOT as horror. But we know. But when it comes to Fantasy / Horror, that's where the story might be based on fairy tales or folklore, and definitely has some elements of horror in there, either in content or maybe just characters. The line can get kind of blurry. But we also know that if its entertaining, then does it really matter? Take a listen as we discuss 3 titles that we all felt hit the Fantasy / Horror sub-genre, for a variety of reasons. Tune in and find out why. Titles mentioned in this episode: Army of Darkness (1992), Beastmaster (1982), A Company of Wolves (1984), Conan the Barbarian (1982), The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), The Crying Game (1992), The Devil's Backbone (2001), Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010), Errementari (2017), Eyes of Fire (1983), Frankenstein (1931), Freaks (1932), Häxan (1922), Hellboy (2004), Hellraiser (1987), In Dreams (1999), Interview with the Vampire (1994), Jason and the Argonauts (1963), Krull (1983), Legend (1985), Lord of Illusions (1995), Masters of the Universe (1987), Nightbreed (1990), Pan's Labyrinth (2006), Phantasm (1979), The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945), Sword and the Sorcerers (1982), Suspiria (1977)

Some horror films end with a twist. These films start with a premise, wait until you've buckled in, and then swerve into oncoming traffic. Welcome to Rug Pullers, the subgenre where the story you thought you were watching was the bait. This week, Tommy, Pete, Kynan, and guest Chelsea Stardust tear into three films that gleefully yank the floorboards out from under you: Ghostwatch (1992), the BBC broadcast that gaslit an entire country into thinking their telly was haunted; Barbarian (2022), a movie that weaponizes airbnbs; and Strange Darling (2023), a predator–prey thriller that rearranges itself so often it could qualify as Lego.We debate whether Barbarian's “mother” is a monster or the most tragic character in the film, whether Ghostwatch's bumbling TV presenters are brilliant or just British, and whether Strange Darling's chapter titles are clever or just yelling at you in big fonts. Chelsea Stardust brings a filmmaker's take on horror tropes, Kynan grapples with whether rug-pulls are honest shocks or cinematic pranks, and Pete wonders if humanity should collectively agree never to go into creepy basement-basements again.These movies sucker punch. They remind you that horror isn't about the monster in the dark, it's about the floor that you're standing on... and how you never noticed that it is made of quicksand.Featured FilmsTonight's Triple Feature:Ghostwatch - Apple TV | Amazon | LetterboxdBarbarian - Apple TV | Amazon | LetterboxdStrange Darling - Apple TV | Amazon | LetterboxdView Our List on Letterboxd (00:00) - Welcome to Sitting in the Dark (03:02) - Introducing Chelsea Stardust!

Lydia Bugg is back to talk about "Zorann: Star Warrior," a Conan the Barbarian ripoff that begins with bitching and moaning, and ends with bitching and moaning. Somewhere in between the petulance exists a realm of limited possibilities, copyright adjacent ineptitude, and psychic sex pterodactyls.

Is film criticism dead? On this week’s episode of Cinemaholics, Jon Negroni and Will Ashton kick things off with a timely conversation about the state of movie reviews in a post-Twitter world. With major papers shedding critics and platforms like Substack taking their place, what does the future hold for film discourse? Then, the guys dig into Weapons, the sophomore horror feature from Barbarian director Zach Cregger. Starring Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, and Benedict Wong, Weapons is an ambitious suburban nightmare told in fragmented perspectives and genre-defying set pieces. Jon and Will unpack the film’s surprising themes, multi-chapter structure, and incredible practical effects. Is Weapons a worthy follow-up to Barbarian? Or does it get lost in its own metaphorical maze? Plus, we read some Letterboxd reviews, play the Rotten Tomatoes game, and share which August films we’re most excited to see next.
