You asked… and we answered!

Synopsis This film follows Jane, a lonely librarian who finds a note at her desk with her name on it and a $50 bill, instructing her to play the game. She is helped by Brace, a new friend, in solving the puzzles and getting double the money every time she finds a new envelope. Jane and Brace quickly find out that she is playing a very dangerous game. Her strength, fortitude, and sanity are strained as she finds out just how far she'll go for the cash, and the thrill. Review I found this movie because of some tweet that had a few hundred likes saying it was some sort of hidden gem. I looked it up and could not find much about it, save a couple articles and Letterboxd reviews. I found a rip of it on Youtube through a Reddit post and told the guys, hey this is the movie we're gonna do this week. It was shot on video, never had a wide release or any sort of release at all. It was made by writer-director Clifton Holmes, along with his brother Dwayne producing, and co-written by Richard Laymon, the author of the book this film is based on. From an article on steemit.com, user modernzorker states that the film is incomplete, not in editing or shooting but in ADR and sound mixing, apparently all the sound we hear was the live recordings of each scene.  With all that said, I loved this film. I love finding horror that is so underground that even though this movie was posted for free on Youtube eight years ago, it only has 12k views. It has 1.6k watches on Letterboxd. It basically doesn't exist. While you're watching it, you feel like it shouldn't exist. I don't say that to mean it is a so-called ‘cursed' film, like the movie Antrum claims to be. I mean that it probably shouldn't exist, and it almost doesn't. The only way to watch it is in 240p on Youtube or buy a DVD rip of it from some dude on eBay claiming he's the only one who sells them (and yes, listener, I did buy it for nine Great British pounds). It basically isn't real.  It's hard to watch in 240p, I was begging for at least 480 but you get what you get when you wanna watch something like this. The low quality adds to the uneasiness and uncertainty of the film's vibe, but at some points it just sucks not being able to discern what is happening, mostly when they are shooting at night. All the lore aside, this film is excellent. It reminds me of Blair Witch and Clerks in the way it is shot. With a limited budget, we only see the aftermath of gore instead of the action happening, which I think works in its favor. You feel the dread alongside Jane, but she also is a very unflinching, dedicated protagonist. She is brave, and you know that she is from the start. There's almost no music in this movie, save for a few moments of characters listening to music, and every time we see our antagonist a crescendo of guitars rises to the front. The only other time we hear sound other than voices is when Jane is playing Silent Hill on her PlayStation, we hear the footsteps of Harry Mason running through the endless fog. This film is creepy, wacky, captivating, and so much more fun knowing that you're probably one of the only people in your generation to ever have watched this. It was such a treat and tonally great for spooky season. It's slow at first, but as the tension builds it just goes off the rails in the best possible ways. It's a crazy movie. Look up (aka click here) Richard Laymon's In The Dark on Youtube to watch it, you will not regret it. Score 10/10 Website: http://horrormovietalk.com Linktree: https://linktr.ee/horrormovietalk

Episode SummaryIn this very special episode of Hospitality Meets, I sit down with the incredible Maya Gilbert, hospitality lifer, dog lover, and now… coastal legend!Maya recently completed a jaw dropping walk around the entire English coastline, that's over 2,700 miles, to raise funds and awareness for Hospitality Action. With a £10 a day budget, a dodgy tent, and a heart full of purpose, she set off from Liverpool armed with nothing but determination, humour, and (possibly) too much stuff in her backpack.What follows is a funny, moving, and downright inspiring conversation about resilience, community, and the power of doing something “big and stupid” for all the right reasons.Expect laughter, blisters, fake IDs, beagles, and life lessons by the bucketload.Key TakeawaysFrom Fake IDs to Front of House: Maya's hospitality story starts with fake ID and evolves into a thriving management careerBin Area Epiphany: Sometimes career clarity arrives mid meltdown behind a pub.Dogs, Pasta, and Pandemic Pivots: From dog walking to a food truck business, Maya's career has more twists than a Netflix dramaNaïve Brilliance: She planned her 2,700-mile charity walk with roughly zero logistical planning and some rose tinted glasses... and that might have been the secret to finishing itThe Kindness of Strangers: From pub gardens to spare rooms, the hospitality of Britain literally carried her around the coastRedefining Hospitality: It's not just restaurants and hotels - it's everywhere people show kindnessFrom Anxiety to Adventure: Turning 30 meant closing one chapter and opening another on foot.Memorable Quotes“Tell me you've got ADHD without telling me you've got ADHD: I started a dog walking business”“Everyone said, ‘That's stupid.' And I thought… yeah, but is it?”“Hospitality doesn't end when you leave a bar or a restaurant — it's everywhere.

It doesn't matter how it comes – nip, schooner, pint or yard – we will always gladly have another.But of such a vast and varied drinks menu, which are Britain's favourites? Which have stood the test of time?
