In this week's episode, we're discussing the 2020 supernatural horror film "The Dark and the Wicked," aka "An Extremely Allen Movie." Special topics for your consideration include: two very different schools of thought when it comes to handling one's emotions, chasing that old scare dragon, the hardness of farm folk (particularly compared to how baby-soft we are), and a delightfully Pittsburgh voicemail. If you liked this movie, you'll probably love Episode 255- "Lake Mungo." We've also dealt with themes of grief in Episode 11- "The Babadook," Episode 47- "Don't Look Now," Episode 116- "The Descent," Episode 159- "Pet Sematary," Episode 224- "Hereditary," and Episode 270- "Midsommar."

Mike shares his list of what he thinks are the Top 10 most iconic scenes in horror movie history. From Halloween to The Shining, he gives his reasons what makes these scenes so memorable that they even transcends the horror movie genre. In the movie review, Mike asked for the Movie Crew's help discovering a new horror movie that he hasn't seen before. He reviews the movie with the most votes: The Dark and the Wicked (2020). In the Trailer Park, Mike gives his thoughts behind the first look and listen of Chris Pratt in the new animated Super Mario Bros. moving coming out on April 7, 2023 and his thoughts on the video game genre as a whole and why we oddly have such high exceptions for a genre that hasn't warranted that level of passion.

The Cannes Film Festival may be the epitome of overindulgence. The outfits rival anything seen at the Met Gala while the setting is one of the most fabulous in the world. Fortnite is a multiplayer video game played by kids. So, what brought the two together? We talk about one of the strangest crossovers in years.Every time we review a movie, we try to go in with zero expectations. That does not stop us from forming initial impressions, however. Green Ghost and the Masters of the Stone is a movie about a car salesman written by and starring... a car salesman. Charlie is down on his luck, but has a strong support system. He also learns that he has superpowers that can save the world.We were interested in the movie because of its ties to El Paso and did not hesitate to watch it. Based on the premise, we each went in with a very specific idea of what we were going to see. All of us were surprised, but is that a good thing. We also discuss the passion put in the movie and the what seems to be a creepy crush the hero has on his sister.The Dark and the Wicked is something of a return to form for us. The intimate horror film about a pair of siblings up against a sinister force is worlds away from the over the top fare we have recently featured. Bryan Bertino has an impressive pedigree and his knowledge of the genre is on full display. But are there too many tropes and is the twist too easy to spot?Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

Brian Bertino, director and screenwriter, hit it big right out of the gate with his instant classic, 2008's THE STRANGERS. Since then he has done a few other films, all getting fairly good reviews from critics if not favorites of viewers. But in 2020, his latest film, THE DARK AND THE WICKED, immediately gained recognition as another instant classic by many, both fans and critics alike. When a Texas family's patriarch becomes comatose, and it appears he is going to pass, estranged adult children, Louise and Michael, decide to return to give their regards. Their mother asks them not to come, but they arrive none-the-less. When they discover that their mother's concerns are not related to their estrangement but to something much more dark, all their lives turn upside down as an evil begins to effect each of them. Considered part of the new subgenre of elevated horror that was coined by snotty critics, the movie has received phenomenal reviews. With its mostly unknown cast, the movie uses the real life sheep farm of Brian Bertino's family as a brilliant backdrop for its story. Dark Discussions takes a look at this interesting film and gives their thought.
