Podcast appearances and mentions of jacob roberts

Dennis is joined via Zoom by two of the men behind his favorite indie of the year so far Rent Free, co-writer and director Fernando Andrès and actor-producer Jacob Roberts. The film is about two queer, down-on-their-luck best friends Ben (Roberts) and Jordan (played by David Trevino) who hatch a plan to live rent free for a year in Austin, Texas--on friends' sofas or whatever they can fanagle--while they save up to move to New York City to pursue their dreams. Fernando talks about his goal of making a buddy comedy set in a bleak contemporary economic landscape focusing on a kind of queer friendship that's very familiar to him but underexplored in cinema. Jacob talks about the finding the comedy in cringey hookup scenes, and recalls shooting a key emotional scene with Austin-based actor Bill Wise as Jacob's eccentric and empathetic father. Other topics include: Jacob writing and appearing in several iconic Hasty Pudding musical shows while at Harvard, Fernando being mentored by Austin-based filmmaking legend Richard Linklater, the upside of taking a film from the idea phase all the way through production and distribution in a relatively short period of time, what it's like to live in Austin post-tech boom and why they made one of the most obnoxious characters in the movie a gay "Facebook Guy with a good salary."

Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys: we’re talking about 1989’s Silent Night, Deadly Night 3: Better Watch Out! and 1990’s Silent Night, Deadly Night 4: The Initiation.

Your support means the world to us and we are eternally thankful. If you would like to become a Patron, head to patreon.com/cinepunx. Thanks in advance! We start by talking about what we’ve done involving horror recently. Liam talks the films 12 Hour Shift, Siberia, and Justin talks about the documentary What Awaits Us (about the ‘80s hardcore band Beyond) and the first episode of the CBS miniseries adaption of The Stand. Up first is Silent Night, Deadly Night 3: Better Watch Out! We begin by talking about the film is a rather weird sequel to a relative well-known slasher film. We give a brief summary of the film and discuss how, despite it being lesser known than part two, it’s probably the better film. We talk about how the film has little to no connection to Christmas whatsoever. We touch upon how low budget slashers live and die by their kills and the quality thereof and how this film really doesn’t do the work to live up to that. The continuity (or lack thereof) between this film and the prior film is talked about, and how often times Christmas horror films use the Christmas setting as a gimmick and little else instead of having Christmas being an essential part of the film. We briefly touch upon how Bill Moseley talent is wasted in this movie and how people only really like SNDN2 because of the “garbage day” meme. We talk about how the movie, despite looking ridiculous, seems to be afraid to really go for the all and be crazy with its premise. Up next is Silent Night, Deadly Night 4. We open by talking about how, much like the third film, this film has little interest in maintaining any connection to Christmas. We give a brief summary of the film. We talk about how despite our criticisms we actually enjoyed this movie quite a bit, possibly because Brian Yuzna made it his own and did whatever he wanted with it. We talk about the upsetting practical effects from HB favorite Screaming Mad George. We briefly touch upon some of the feminist aspects of the film, in that the female leads of this film are presented as genuinely menacing to men. The film being a lesser known Yuzna film is touched upon. We briefly talk about some of the things we didn’t like the film, including some of the more insufferable acting a scene of sexual assault.

  Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys, and we’re talking about 1972’s Lemora and 1988’s Paperhouse First and foremost, we want to give a shoutout to our sponsors over at Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, the premiere screen-printing company of the Lehigh Valley. Chris Reject and his merry band of miscreants are ready to work with you to bring to life your vision of a t-shirt for your business, band, project, or whatever else it is you need represented by a shirt, sweater, pin, or coozy.

And as always thank you to our Patreon subscribers. Your support means the world to us and we are eternally grateful. We start by talking about what we’ve done involving horror recently. Liam talks the films Alone, Anything For Jackson, and Rise Of The Guardians, and Justin talks about the films Peninsula, Freaky, and the newest Max Brooks novel Devolution. Up first is Lemora. Liam talks about how the film examines the idea of pushing the idea of innocence upon a young attractive white woman and how it involves a world filled with characters intent on devouring her in one way or another. The idea of the film being a criticism of Christianity is examined, and Justin talks about how the name of the town the film takes place in (Astaroth) is indicative of this film being a criticism of Christianity. Justin also talks about how he initially thought the film was a nod to “abject person” as discussed, as is the “sovereign figure”. Justin talks about how he wasn’t a hundred percent sold on the film although it feels like an archetypical “hero’s tale”. The film as “Southern Gothic” is discussed. We briefly talk about the phenomenon of ghost towns and how they relate to the Great Depression. Up next is Paperhouse. Justin begins by admitting that he wasn’t feeling the film until the horror element kicked in and then fell in love with how effective the film portrayed the “logic of children” and how it put him in the proper mindset to enjoy it. We talk about how the film is often accused of not really being a horror film, and Liam argues that this functions as a bait and switch to “ease us into a boiling pot.” We talk about how while the film never explicitly comes out and addresses any underlying issues it’s very clearly about something much darker than the subject matter. We discuss some of the more unexpectedly horrifying imagery. The idea of the film being about sexual abuse and how children relate to such horror is discussed, and how the structure of the film itself feels like the reality a child would construct to hide the truth of the abuse. The phenomenon of films about children’s unrecognized desires is discussed. The film’s depiction of “puppy love” and how accurate it is is depicted. The film’s similarity in how abused children view their parents with The Shining. We talk about how the film might not be seen as a horror due to how effective it is in executing certain dramatic elements and how neither of the child characters in the film are annoying. We again talk about how easily and successfully the film nails “dream logic” and it unexpectedly made both of us feel a very real yearning for childhood.

Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys, and we’re talking about 1972’s Blood Freak and 1987’s Blood Rage.

And as always thank you to our Patreon subscribers. Your support means the world to us and we are eternally We start by talking about what we’ve done involving horror recently. Liam talks the films Run, and Justin talks about the films Come Play, The Vigil, and Porno. Up first is Blood Freak. We give a brief summary of the film, and Liam realizes he may or may not have actually enjoyed this film. Justin argues that the film is actually the kind of puritanical sex negative kind of film that slasher films are often accused of being while Liam counters that the film has no real moral compass. We talk briefly about the background of some of the production of the film. We touch upon how a film with this silly of a premise needs to stay entertaining and there are times when it isn’t. Up next is Blood Rage. Liam yells about the homey Josh Alvarez for borrowing his copy of the film. Justin talks about while the movie itself is quite entertaining, two of the key plot points are just rehashes of prior fims that did it better. We briefly touch upon the films embrace of debunked and somewhat problematic Freudian talking points, but the film is too ridiculous to focus on that. We talk about how convincing the performance of Terry/Todd is, and how the cruelty of the character Terry is very believable. We touch upon the eerily realistic nature of the performance of Terry as an actual sociopath. Justin talks about how the films ending has a natural cruelty to it that is quite effective. Some of the more brutal kills are discussed.

Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys. In this episode we’re talking about 1931’s Dracula and 1954’s Creature From The Black Lagoon. Off the top we apologize for the audio issue/sound quality. First and foremost, we want to give a shoutout to our sponsors over at Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, the premiere screen-printing company of the Lehigh Valley. Chris Reject and his merry band of miscreants are ready to work with you to bring to life your vision of a t-shirt for your business, band, project, or whatever else it is you need represented by a shirt, sweater, pin, or coozy. Head on over to www.xlvacx.com to check them out. Also, thank you to our Patreon subscribers. Your support means the world to us and we are eternally grateful for that support. Thanks! We start by talking about what we’ve done involving horror recently. We talk about Random Acts Of Violence, Liam talks about watching the original The Amityville Horror for the first time recently as well as watching Children Of The Night and The Borrower. Justin talks about watching Night Of The Living Dead at the Mahoning Drive In. Up first is Dracula. We briefly talk about Tod Browning’s body of work including the famous lost film London After Midnight. We talk about the phenomenon of a large amount of people having read the book due to schools assigning it to students while not having seen the film, and how the film is based more on the stage production of the book than the book itself. We talk about strange unorthodox structure of the source material, the concept of sexuality and shame in the film, and Bela Lugosi’s status as a somewhat washed up sex symbol. We go off on a brief tangent on how the film differs from Coppola’s version, in that Coppola’s version dives way deep into Dracula’s backstory. We talk more about Lugosi’s stardom and his semi-feud with Boris Karloff. Justin rambles about being more frightened of Dwight Frye as Renfield than he is of Lugosi. Harker’s non-presence is touched upon. The film’s status as something of a keystone of Universal’s legacy when it comes to horror is touched upon. We briefly touch upon some of the things about the production of the film that we don’t about, including some of the things that are clearly holdovers from when the film was a stage production. Up next is The Creature From The Black Lagoon. Justin talks about how when he first saw Monster Squad as a child, the Gill Man was the monster that grabbed his attention the most and how for him the Gill Man is the only monster whose really withstood the test of time. We talk about some of the underlying themes of the film, such as the unusually positive stance on science for a ‘50s B film, the vague touches of racism (monstrous other menacing white woman). Liam talks about his first exposure to the film. We talk about how ‘50s sci fi monster movies are usually not our cup of tea. The gorgeous cinematography of the film is touched upon, as is the pacing and creature design. We talk about how the film deftly avoids the “wise indigenous person” trope but also has a touch of the previously mentioned “woman in peril from Other” trope. We talk more about the ‘50s cinema tendency to portray scientists as effeminate and useless, and how this film portrays scientists not only as not effeminate but as somewhat brawny and overly traditionally masculine.

Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys. In this episode we’re doing a Patreon request with two films from 1965: Die, Monster, Die and Planet Of The Vampires. First and foremost, we want to give a shoutout to our sponsors over at Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, the premiere screen-printing company of the Lehigh Valley.

We start by talking about what we’ve done involving horror recently. We talk about the new HBO series Lovecraft Country, Liam talks about I’ll Be Gone In The Dark and Demon Knight, and Justin talks about watching the films The Hunt, The Pale Door, and Uncle Peckerhead. Up first is Die, Monster, Die. We begin by comparing it to the recent adaption of the source material with Nicholas Cage’s The Color Out Of Space. We give a brief summary of the film. We talk about how the film is essentially a classic haunted house/gothic story bookended with plot points from Lovecraft’s source material. We touch upon how the film kind of steers away from plot elements of COOS and instead weave in other classic elements common in Lovecraft’s work. Lovecraft’s opinion on science is briefly touched upon. Up next is Planet Of The Vampires. We briefly talk about the films influence on Alien and give a brief summary of the film. Liam talks about how he normally doesn’t enjoy films in this style. We briefly talk about the legacy of Mario Bava and how he could make a little go a long way. We talk about how there moments in the film that are surprisingly frightening for a film of this era. We talk about the charm of the film and how it won us over despite looking somewhat cheesy. Justin talks about how the film reminds him of the novel Monster by Christopher Pike and how he enjoys non-traditional approaches to vampires. Bava’s choice of color and lighting in the film is discussed, and how it contrasts with some of the cheesier effects. We conclude by talking about some of the political implications of the film.

Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys. In this episode we’re talking about 1972’s The Legend Of Boggy Creek and 2004’s Incident At Loch Ness. First and foremost, we want to give a shoutout to our sponsors over at Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, the premiere screen-printing company of the Lehigh Valley. Chris Reject and his merry band of miscreants are ready to work with you to bring to life your vision of a t-shirt for your business, band, project, or whatever else it is you need represented by a shirt, sweater, pin, or coozy. Head on over to www.xlvacx.com to check them out. Also, thank you to our Patreon subscribers. Your support means the world to us and we are eternally grateful for that support. Thanks! We start by talking about what we’ve done involving horror recently. We talk about the new HBO series Lovecraft Country, and Justin talks about She Dies Tomorrow, We Summon The Darkness, Random Acts Of Violence, and Sputnik. Up first is The Legend Of Boggy Creek. We both agree that the poster is somewhat iconic and arguably the best thing about the film. We largely disliked the film, and Liam talks about how it resembles a Disney nature film we used to watch in elementary school back in the ‘80s. Justin gives a little bit of a background on the phenomenon of the Fouke Monster, the creature alleged to exist in the film. Liam talks about how dreary the film is and how it looks like it takes place in a far different time period that it’s supposed to. Justin talks about how it’s painfully obvious the whole thing revolves around a hoax. The entire film feels performative and boring, and even the Sasquatch attacks feel flat and uninteresting. The ADR and dubbing are horrible, and the film presents an uneven tone. We talk about the films presence in the DNA of modern found footage films, as well as kicking off the trend of Bigfoot themed horror films. Up next is Incident At Loch Ness. The film feels a little too “winking and nodding” at the camera over the presence of Werner Herzog; Liam describes it as “loving the smell of its own shit”. We talk about Herzog’s self-awareness and how he is willing to lampoon himself. We touch upon the film would make a great episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, and how the filmmakers seem obsessed with showing off how much they know about Herzog’s myth. Justin yells about how the cryptozoologist in the film uses horrible logic and how such logic is a trademark of QAnon bullshit. Despite the films flaws it’s still entertaining. Liam brings up that the film couldn’t decide how “in on the joke” it wanted to be. Thank you for listening.

We start by talking about what we’ve done involving horror recently. We talk about the recent Shudder original film Host, and Liam talks about the film All The Colors Of The Dark. Up first is Black Swan. We give a brief summary of the film, and we talk about how the film wasn’t initially referred to as a horror film because of Aronofsky’s reputation. We briefly talk about the nature of Darren Aronofsky’s work, and Liam posits that he essentially makes well crafted exploitation films. We talk about some of the more visually arresting and horrifying scenes of the film. We touch upon Aronofsky’s tendency of cruelty towards his female characters, and how the film is largely a more stylish body horror film. We return to Aronofsky’s lack of interest in fleshed out characters and how he’s more interested in caricatures of people. The horror one’s own self is discussed, and we talk about how whether or not what we’re witnessing is “real” is completely meaningless in regard to enjoying this film. We briefly discuss the concept of “camp” and the idea of “the Showgirls paradox”. The idea of Vincent Cassel’s character as an effigy for Aranofsky as a director is touched upon. We talk about the horror of questioning your own sanity and being unable to trust your own perception of things. We briefly discuss the concept of “perfection” and how it relates to cultural conditioning and tradition. Up next is The Babadook. We talk about how the film might hit harder for people who have special needs people in their lives. Liam points out how the film goes through three phases: spooky kid, psychotic woman, and then monster movie. Liam talks about how his experience of the film has changed since becoming a parent in that he feels more empathy for the child. Justin talks about how the police station scene is the most upsetting scene in the film for him. We talk about the very sweet concept of Sam, the child in the film, still feeling an unyielding love for his mother even though she repeatedly declares that she hates him, and how that is both tender and a source of horror. Justin discusses how he relates personally to the end of the film and how it’s a very effective metaphor for dealing with trauma and mental illness. We talk about how the films ending is far more effective than most classic horror films in that it shows that pain and suffering continues on and there is no simple fix for a complex issue. We talk about the intensity and effectiveness of the main performances in the film. We conclude by talking about how Essie Davis is “miserably horny” in this film and how that relates to depression destroying the libido. First and foremost, thank you for listening.

First and foremost, we want to give a shoutout to our sponsors over at Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, the premiere screen-printing company of the Lehigh Valley. Chris Reject and his merry band of miscreants are ready to work with you to bring to life your vision of a t-shirt for your business, band, project, or whatever else it is you need represented by a shirt, sweater, pin, or coozy. Head on over to www.xlvacx.com to check them out. Also, thank you to our Patreon subscribers. Your support means the world to us and we are eternally grateful for that support. Thanks! We start by talking about what we’ve done involving horror recently. We talk about the trailers for the films Random Acts Of Violence and She Dies Tomorrow and attending the Mahoning Drive-In’s annual Zombiefest. Liam talks about seeing the documentary You Don’t Nomi and Justin talks about seeing Relic. Up first is Dark Age. We begin by talking about the concept of Ozploitation filmmaking, and how oftentimes such films are just as much about Australia as they “what they’re about”. We talk about how the film centers upon the idea of “colonial guilt and anxiety”. We discuss the “magical indigenous person” trope and our unfamiliarity with Aboriginal Australian culture. We briefly talk about the nature of atrocities against Aboriginal Australians and the concept of ‘50s westerns fetishizing Indigenous Americans. The concept of Oodoban as an unreliable narrator, which diverges from the “indigenous Aboriginal” trope, is touched upon. We talk about the uneven nature of the crocodile prop and how sometimes it looks great and other times it looks silly. We spend a bit talking about how in the film Wake And Fright an actual violent kangaroo hunt was film, and how in Dark Age a similar phenomenon may have occurred with the scenes of crocodile hunts. Up next is Rogue. We begin by talking about Greg McLean’s tendency to make excessively cruel films revolving around a savage and untamed Australia. We discuss the cheapness of killing the dog and how the film is excessively stuffed with undeveloped human drama that has too many threads that go nowhere with too much backstory. The flat nature of many of the characters is touched upon. We talk about how when the crocodile isn’t present the film is actually quite effective at being suspenseful, but the reveal of the crocodile is just kind of silly because of how bad it looks. The clunky use of CGI in this film is discussed and how its not good enough to be seen for as extensively as it is. The irrational behavior of many of the characters is discussed and how it takes away from the suspense of the film. We talk about the contradicting statements from characters who are supposed to be ‘croc experts’ on the nature of the crocodile. We talk about John Jarrett’s performance in this film and Justin talks about how even though he enjoyed Dark Age more he actually enjoyed Jarrett’s performance in this movie more. The bullshit “based on a true story” marketing ploy is touched upon. First and foremost, thank you for listening.

Greetings and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys. In this episode we’re talking about 1981’s Deadly Blessing and 1982’s The Slayer First and foremost, we want to give a shoutout to our sponsors over at Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, the premiere screen-printing company of the Lehigh Valley. Chris Reject and his merry band of miscreants are ready to work with you to bring to life your vision of a t-shirt for your business, band, project, or whatever else it is you need represented by a shirt, sweater, pin, or coozy. Head on over to www.xlvacx.com to check them out. Also, thank you to our Patreon subscribers. Your support means the world to us and we are eternally grateful for that support. Thanks! We start by briefly discussing what we’ve done lately involving horror. We talk about Wes Craven’s career for a bit.  Liam talks about watching the documentary Scream, Queen! and Justin talks about the Netflix series Bataal and Ghoul. Up first is Deadly Blessing. We give a brief summary of the film, which sticks with being a slasher film up until the very end. We discuss the lack of tension and “fear of stalking” in the film. We talk about how the film is largely not exciting until the very end when it kind of switches genres to exploitation shootout, as well as the inexplicable and almost nonsensical reveal about the gender of one of the characters. We talk about how the film is a reflection of Craven’s fear of religion and his upbringing and how they might actually be right when it comes to morality. We discuss how the film touches upon the secular fear that maybe religion is right, a theme similar to folk/pastoral horror themes. We talk about the lack of creative kills and creepiness. Up next is The Slayer. We give a brief summary of the film, and how the film doesn’t really push the sparseness that it hints at. We talk about how the unfocused the film is, and how it kind of spreads it bets by trying to incorporate elements of different horror subgenre films. We discuss how the film does a lot of work suggesting that the main character is losing her mind but then just devolves into a boring slasher film. The nonsensical ending is touched upon as is the fact that the ending was obviously written as a way out beforehand. We conclude by talking about the how the entire movie is worth it for the skeleton monster at the end, but how the actual ending of it all being a dream is bullshit. Thank you for listening.

Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys. In this episode we’re talking about 1980’s Night Beast and 1990’s The Suckling. First and foremost, we want to give a shoutout to our sponsors over at Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, the premiere screen-printing company of the Lehigh Valley. Chris Reject and his merry band of miscreants are ready to work with you to bring to life your vision of a t-shirt for your business, band, project, or whatever else it is you need represented by a shirt, sweater, pin, or koozie.

We start by briefly discussing what we’ve done lately involving horror. Liam talks about watching Blood Machines on Shudder. Justin talks about watching the Epix miniseries War Of The Worlds and the Amazon Prime documentary The Hat Man, as well as the films Grave Encounters, Grave Encounters 2, and What Keeps Us Alive. Up first is Night Beast. We begin by giving a general outline of the film. We give our very general opinions on the film, and then disagree on the nature of the performances of the film. Justin argues that it is a joyless affair whereas Liam argues that it was fun. We touch upon the weird phenomenon of aliens who’re smart enough to pilot a ship across the galaxy and little more than rabid animals when they land. Liam talks about the gore in the movie feels tremendously out of place. We talk about how the movie is so bland and inoffensive that it becomes offensive. We discuss the films filled attempt at adding an “exploitation” angle with it’s weirdly out-of-place rapist subplot. The films legendarily awkward sex scene is touched upon. Up next is The Suckling. We begin by addressing the abject tastelessness of the film and how it might be a turn off for some people. Justin talks about the films somewhat mixed message on abortion, whereas Liam thinks it’s just a testament to the film’s general obnoxiousness. We talk about the film’s human villain being almost too annoying due to the actor’s overacting, as well as another character’s tendency to say horrible uncomfortable shit about sex workers. We discuss the films subtle examination of how customers of sex workers often seek to demean those same sex workers to make themselves feel better. Liam brings up the films choice to make the films only likable male character a black war veteran who has seemingly been unable to find any other work besides working in a brothel and how that may have been commentary on how vets are treated. Justin talks about some of the more interesting set design choices, such as the cocoon that the creature surrounds the house with, as well as some of the other FX scenes he found particularly upsetting. We make an argument that the FX had no right to look as good as they do given the budget. Thank you for listening!

Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys. In this episode we’re talking about 1986’s Dead End Drive in and Neon Maniacs.

We start by briefly discussing what we’ve done lately involving horror. Liam talks about watching Z and a few of the films from director Brian Trenchard-Smith. Justin talks about watching the films Skyquake, Radius, The Neon Dead, Nine Miles Down, and We’ve Forgotten More Than We’ll Ever Know. Up first is Dead End Drive In. We begin with Liam explaining why he chose the film, why he enjoys it, and how he believes it should be a more widely known film. Justin talks about how the film feels almost like a dream, in that it had a subtle un-logic too it. We discuss the film as a metaphor for both concentration camps and Palestine, and how the film has a very Australian look to it. We talk more about Trenchard-Smith’s filmography, and how impressive the film looks for being made so cheaply. We talk about the weird paradox of the film never being widely received in America, despite being quite good and coming out at a time when America was obsessed with Australian culture. The film’s depiction of the phenomenon in Australia in which East Asians are singled out for a particularly venomous strain of racism and the history of racial violence in Australia. We touch upon the films use of the protagonist as a very effective audience surrogate and the paradox of despite the drive in being little more than an open prison, many of the people there are fine with it because the world outside of it is hopeless and uncertain. Up next is Neon Maniacs. We give a brief summary of the film and talk about the weird ‘80s phenomenon of casting thirty-year old’s as high school students. We talk about the similar dreamy feel that our previous film had. The films constantly running out of money as both its biggest handicap and its largest source of strength is discussed, with Liam describing it as “barely existing” and “finished?” We talk about how the movie would have never made it unless Lloyd Kaufman had rescued it. The disjointed and uneven look of the film is touched upon, as is the somewhat murky lighting of the film. We have a disagreement on whether or not the film is meant to look corny. The constant conflict amongst the crew members is cited as another source of the films lack of coherence. We talk at length about the film’s lack of ending and how it feels like the filmmakers ran out of money for the fifth time, shrugged at one another, and called it a day. We talk about how despite the fact that the film is an absolute mess and the seams are showing a hundred percent it’s too charming to hate. The film’s similarity to Masters Of The Universe action figures is touched upon. First and foremost, thank you for listening.

Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys. This week we’re talking about 1999’s House On Haunted Hill and 2001’s Thirteen Ghosts. First and foremost, we want to give a shoutout to our sponsors over at Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, the premiere screen-printing company of the Lehigh Valley. Chris Reject and his merry band of miscreants are ready to work with you to bring to life your vision of a t-shirt for your business, band, project, or whatever else it is you need represented by a shirt, sweater, pin, or koozie. Head on over to www.xlvacx.com to check them out. Also, thank you to our Patreon subscribers. Your support means the world to us and we are eternally grateful for that support. Thanks! We start by briefly discussing what we’ve done lately involving horror. Liam talks about rewatching the original House On Haunted Hill. Justin talks about watching Penny Dreadful: City Of Angels, Into The Night, and the Shudder exclusive film Z. Up first is House On Haunted Hill.  We talk about our initial experiences with the film, and how it kind of got swept under the rug due to being released the same year as several other huge blockbusters. We briefly talk about the history of Dark Castle Films. We touch upon the idea of the film having several aspects of early 2000s horror films that eventually became beat to death and cliched but is still effective. We talk about some of the strengths and weaknesses of the film, including the more bizarre imagery, the operating theatre scene, and some of the camera techniques, along with Chris Kattan and the lack of relatable characters. Liam talks about the films failure to honor the original films spirit of pure campiness. We talk at length about the films CGI-heavy climax and the unearned appearance of Kattan’s ghosts at the end. The heavy influence of Jacob’s Ladder is discussed, and Justin has a dramatic realization that the aliens in Fire In The Sky were steampunk. We talk about the mid-90s obsession with a dirty and old aesthetic when it came to making things scary. We continue to disagree about the dusty CGI in the climax. We conclude by agreeing that the movie overall is a fun watch despite its flaws. Up next is Thirteen Ghosts. We open up by giving a general summary of the film. We begin by giving a general summary of the film, and Justin posits that despite being a weak film overall the film actually has some interesting mythos behind it, although Justin admits the ridiculousness of ghosts being afraid of Latin for some reason. The films lack of distinction due to the house being made of glass is touched upon, as is the weak plot device of there being goggles that allow the viewer to see the ghosts. We talk about how much of the energy of the production of the film seems to have gone into the design of the ghosts, and how the editing of the film is distracting in how fast it is. We touch upon how the remake fails to translate the theatrical gimmick of the original film. Justin argues that if Matthew Lillard’s character was transplanted to House On Haunted Hill it would make way more sense for the ending of a ghost saving the survivors. Liam defends the presence of Rah Digga in the film, and we hate on the little kid in the film. Liam laments the fact that the film had such a low bar to hit in being a remake, but it instead decided to “extreme” the film up and we conclude that the film is largely “unfun”.

Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys. In this episode we’re talking about 1988’s Edge Of The Axe and 1990’s Deadly Manor.

We start by briefly discussing what we’ve done lately involving horror. Liam talks about watching the film Whirlpool and the Netflix show The Last Kids On Earth. Justin talks about seeing the films Verotika, Butt Boy, and Endangered Species. Up first is Edge Of The Axe. We begin by discussing how Justin is not a fan of slashers overall. We talk about the intensity of the film’s kills, not in how extravagant they are but more in how intense they were. The film’s attempts at a red herring are touched upon, and we talk about the traditional device of the red herring and how American slashers differ from European slashers in that typically the identity of the killer is already known as opposed to “whodunnit” style movie. The films obvious non-English speaker having written the script quality is talked about. We talk about how the film, despite clearly being done for a paycheck doesn’t look like it and has a dedicated feel to it that a lot of slashers don’t have. We go on a tirade involving hardcore. Up next is Deadly Manor. We begin by arguing about whether or not the movie is actually good, and Liam argues that the movie is meant to be taken in jest. We briefly discuss how the house used in the movie is burned down and filmed but that footage is never used. We discuss the films development around the casting of the actress who plays the killer. We talk about the lack of any endearing characters and how the film ends with the rare phenomenon of the killer being caught. The cultural phenomenon of “biker merauders” as movie villains is briefly touched upon. The excessive conversation in the film is touched upon. Liam talks about how on the special features the sex scene was apparently an ordeal due to the male actor not wanting to be seen naked by the rest of crew. We conclude by talking about how the film definitely feels less “passionate” than the directors prior work, how there are no gripping and compelling aspects of the film, and how the cinematography feels flat and lifeless due to the film being shot on in one location.

Greetings and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys. In this episode we’re talking about 1986’s House and 1988’s House II. First and foremost, we want to give a shoutout to our sponsors over at Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, the premiere screen-printing company of the Lehigh Valley. Chris Reject and his merry band of miscreants are ready to work with you to bring to life your vision of a t-shirt for your business, band, project, or whatever else it is you need represented by a shirt, sweater, pin, or coozy. Head on over to www.xlvacx.com to check them out. Also, thank you to our Patreon subscribers. Your support means the world to us and we are eternally grateful for that support. Thanks! We start by briefly discussing what we’ve done lately involving horror. Liam talks about seeing Alucarda, and then discusses the conclusion of HBO’s The Outsider. Justin talks about the Netflix series I Am Not Okay With This, and the films The Invisible Man and VFW. Up first is House. We start by talking about our earliest experiences with this film; Liam talks about how the film early on seemed like little more than a fun adventure movie only to realize later on that the film is quite scary. We discuss how a lot of people conflate the two films and confuse the second for the first, the difference being that the first one is actually quite scary whereas the second is rather silly. The idea of the film being just a little too much for being an introductory film into the genre for kids is discussed. Justin talks about seeing the film on HBO as a child and believing that the one monster in the film was “Bloody Mary”. Some of the scarier moments in the film are discussed, especially the effects of the film and how legitimately nightmarish some of the imagery is. The film as a parable for how Vietnam vets were treated, and for PTSD in general, is discussed. The film’s uneven ending and resolution is touched upon, in that early on the film alludes to the house itself being some kind of malevolent entity until it’s revealed that the entire plot was an orchestration of a singular character and we spend some time on how the film has something of a weak ending overall. The film transitioning from a “funny but effective horror movie to an entirely horror adventure film” is touched upon. The film’s somewhat tasteless depiction of the Vietnam War is briefly discussed, and we again talk about how the film could be seen as a metaphor for how soldiers are treated when they return from war: everyone loves the troops until they come home and it’s time to actually hear what they have to say. We conclude by discussing George Wendt’s performance. Up next is House II. The production of the film is touched upon, as is the drop in quality from the first film and its inclusion in the La Casa series. We give a brief outline of the plot of the film and how, unlike the first film, it establishes a “big bad” character early on (but then fails to really include the character until the end of the film). Royal Dano’s character, and how he’s the most “human” character in the film, is touched upon. Some of the creatures, including the fabled Dogerpillar, are discussed. John Ratzenberger’s character, and how he might actually be the most interesting character, and how it’s Liam’s favorite part of the film is discussed. We conclude that, while the film isn’t nearly as good as the first one it’s still an extremely fun film.

Greetings and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys. In this episode we’re talking about two films involving missionary killers: 1975’s PROFONDO ROSSO and 1987’s STAGEFRIGHT, and we’re joined by very special guest Dean Kapsalis, writer and director of our favorite film of the year THE SWERVE. First and foremost, we want to give a shoutout to our sponsors over at Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, the premiere screen-printing company of the Lehigh Valley. Chris Reject and his merry band of miscreants are ready to work with you to bring to life your vision of a t-shirt for your business, band, project, or whatever else it is you need represented by a shirt, sweater, pin, or coozy. Head on over to www.xlvacx.com to check them out. Also, thank you to our Patreon subscribers. Your support means the world to us and we are eternally grateful for that support. Thanks! We start by briefly discussing what we’ve done lately involving horror. Dean talks about seeing the films Gretel & Hansel, Underwater, Wounds, and The Lodge. Liam talks about rewatching The Fog, and Justin talks about seeing Horse Girl and After Midnight Up first is Profondo Rosso. Dean opens up the conversation by talking about his background with this movie, calling it both the masterpiece of Argento’s filmography and the greatest giallo of all time. We briefly discuss Argento’s pre-Suspiria filmography. Dean talks about how, as a director, he believes that first scenes are everything. Comparisons to an earlier Italian film (Blow-Up) are made. Justin talks about how this movie is the archetypical giallo film, and how absolutely violent and brutal the kills were. The vague supernatural touches of the film are discussed, as is the films actually successful red herring. Liam talks about how this film is Argento’s “transition” away from giallo and into more supernatural films. The gender issues of the film are touched upon, as are Argento’s impact upon the genre in that he set out to make “the giallo that ends all giallos”. The political history of Italy is discussed to give context for some of the nationalistic imagery in the film. Up next is Stagefright. We begin by talking about the various connections the filmmakers of this film had with various other films in the Italian horror realm. Dean explains why he chose the film, and Justin goes on a tangent about why he’s afraid of owls. Some of the more stylized and creative kills of the movie are dissected, as is the films tendency to “break the rules” of slasher films. The concept of the film existing as a critique of the film industry is discussed. The believability of the nature of the killer is touched upon, as is the soundtrack and how it fits the time period perfectly. The killer’s habits of posing his victims after killing them and how that makes him even more realistic is touched upon, as are some of the more surreal moments of the film.

Greetings and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys. In this episode we’re talking about two films involving missionary killers: 1976’s GOD TOLD ME TO and 2001’s FRAILTY First and foremost, we want to give a shoutout to our sponsors over at Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, the premiere screen-printing company of the Lehigh Valley. Chris Reject and his merry band of miscreants are ready to work with you to bring to life your vision of a t-shirt for your business, band, project, or whatever else it is you need represented by a shirt, sweater, pin, or coozy. Head on over to www.xlvacx.com to check them out. Also, thank you to our Patreon subscribers. Your support means the world to us and we are eternally grateful. Thanks! We start by briefly discussing what we’ve done lately involving horror. Liam talks about seeing the films Knifes And Skin, The Terror, and the trailer for Spirals: The Book Of Saw. Justin talks about the HBO series The Outsider and seeing the films The Turning and Gretel & Hansel.   We talk about some of our favorite scenes in the film, including the scene in which the main character confronts his biological mother on the issue of his conception and she has an emotional breakdown. We go off on another tangent on how the film draws from the concept of “ancient astronaut theory” and how such concepts are inherently racist. We tie it back into the film by examining how the film suggests that divinity and extraterrestrials might not be entirely different but how Cohen never actually says, for certain, that religion was inspired by aliens. We then touch upon the depiction of a murderer talking about his crime in the film and how realistic it is in contrary to some other depictions of them in film in that it is so mundane it becomes unsettling. The somewhat problematic scene in the film where the main character attacks and murders a room full of black men is talked about. Up next is Frailty. We begin by briefly talking about the terror of Powers Booth. We give a brief summary of the film, sing the praises of Bill Paxton, and talk about some of the performances of the film. We talk about how the narrative of the film is framed. The films big reveal and how it’s so intricately layered is touched upon, as is the films overall melancholy nature. The way the film stays deliberately vague on as to whether or not Bill Paxton’s visions are real or not until the end is discussed. We talk about how the film could be seen as analogy for abuse or neglect, in that a child is forced to step up and take responsibility when a parent is clearly not well. The performances of the child actors in relation to Bill Paxton’s are discussed. We talk about our personal histories with the film, lament on the death of Paxton, and the phenomenon of the McConaughnaissance. The lack of a happy ending and how that opens up a terrifying concept is touched upon. The movie’s lack of a definite adherence to the Judeo-Christian God is discussed, as is the commentary on the nature of God and the Devil.

Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys. In this episode we’re talking about 1964’s Blood And Black Lace and 1966’s Kill Baby…Kill. First and foremost we want to give a shoutout to our sponsors over at Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, the premiere screen-printing company of the Lehigh Valley.

We start by briefly discussing what we’ve done lately involving horror. Liam talks about seeing Black Christmas, and Justin hasn’t seen anything involving horror. We begin by talking about Blood And Black Lace. We give a brief summary of the film and talk about the influence it had on the subgenre of giallos. The films “groundbreaking” qualities are discussed, including it’s contributions to the ‘whodunit’ style films. Giallos in general are discussed briefly, and we talk at length about the films unorthodox choices in lighting and cinematography. The look of the villain, the brutality of the kills, and the films lack of cheesy clues/red herrings is touched upon. Next up is Kill Baby, Kill! We give a brief summary of the film, and discuss the films lack of stakes. We discuss the films somewhat flat cinematography, lack of real narrative, and somewhat boring story. We weren’t really big fans of this movie so we didn’t really have much to say.

Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you! In this episode we’re talking about 1983’s The Keep and 1996’s Apt Pupil. And, as an added bonus, we’re joined by long time friend of the show Ryan Sawyer! We apologize for some of the audio issues including Ryan’s recent horror activities, which was unfortunately cut off. First and foremost we want to give a shoutout to our sponsors over at Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, the premiere screen-printing company of the Lehigh Valley. Chris Reject and his merry band of miscreants are ready to work with you to bring to life your vision of a t-shirt for your business, band, project, or whatever else it is you need represented by a shirt, sweater, pin, or coozy. Head on over to www.xlvacx.com to check them out. Also, thank you to our Patreon subscribers. Your support means the world to us and we are eternally grateful for that support. Thanks! We start by briefly discussing what we’ve done lately involving horror. Liam talks about the final Exhumed Films event at the Lightbox Film Center and seeing Joker and Doctor Sleep, and Justin talks about seeing the films Sweetheart, Velvet Buzzsaw, Antrum, Wounds, Harpoon, Hush, and Happy Death Day 2U. We begin by talking about The Keep. We each discuss how we first became aware of the film (Ryan being introduced by a friend, Liam through cable TV, and Justin through the work of F. Paul Wilson). We discuss the troubled production of the film and how Michael Mann was somewhat handcuffed by Paramount’s meddling. We briefly touch upon Wilson’s view of the film and how it’s softened over time. We examine the various shortcomings of the film: oftentimes it feels incomplete, rushed, and half formed. We briefly talk about the film’s divergence from the source material and how that takes away from the heart of the story (moral dilemma, a lack of stakes, muddled mythology, etc). We talk about the surreal and fascinating imagery of the film and how the almost makes up for the confusing narrative. We briefly talk about the larger interconnected mythos of F. Paul Wilson’s fiction (the Adversary Cycle and the Repairman Jack saga). Next up is Apt Pupil. We begin by giving a brief summary of the film. We talk about the problematic nature of Brian Singer and how his films are often viewed through the lens of his crimes. We touch upon the homoerotic subtext of the film and the idea of “the male gaze” being cast upon Brad Renfro. We briefly talk about how the film is reminiscent of the film In A Glass Cage and how the film treats the concept of Nazi war crimes with something like velvet gloves. We talk about how the film weakly attempts to frame the death drive of Nazism in through sexual tension between Renfro and McKellan via BDSM, and we again discuss the problematic nature of Brian Singer making a film about an older man engaging in quasi-BDSM with a teenager. Ryan brings up the concept about how both films revolve around the idea of something being suppressed and that something being released to wreak havoc on the world in some way. We touch upon the questionable view of Nazism as a corrupting ideology as opposed to an ideology that attracts corrupt people and allows them to act out their evil desires. We briefly discuss what we actually enjoyed about the film but this turns into how the film hasn’t really aged all that well. First, and foremost, a huge thanks to Ryan for being rad enough to come and talk to use about these films. Also thank you to everyone and anyone who donated on Patreon, checked this episode out, or shared a tweet/shared a post on FB/gave us love by recommending us to someone. We love you forever for listening. Any questions, comments, suggestions for movies and guests, or if you yourself want to join us for a movie viewing or even an episode, can be sent to thehorrorbiz@gmail.com.

Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys: today, we’re talking about 1982’s Halloween III and 2007’s Trick R’ Treat. First and foremost, we want to give a shoutout to our sponsors over at Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, the premiere screen-printing company of the Lehigh Valley. Chris Reject and his merry band of miscreants are ready to work with you to bring to life your vision of a t-shirt for your business, band, project, or whatever else it is you need represented by a shirt, sweater, pin, or koozie. Head on over to www.xlvacx.com to check them out. Also, thank you to our Patreon subscribers. Your support means the world to us and we are eternally grateful for that support. Thanks! We start by briefly discussing what we’ve done lately involving horror. Liam and Justin talk about the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival and the films they saw, including Nightmare Fuel, Blood Quantum, The Shed, The Swerve, and 1BR. Liam talks about the recent Exhumed Films annual Horror-thon and some of the films he saw there, as well as seeing Parasite. Justin talks about attending the recent Exhumed Films Masters Of Horror event, seeing The Lost Boys at Frank Banko Ale House Cinemas and An American Werewolf In London at the Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville, as well as the films The Dead Don’t Die, Dry Blood, Wrinkles The Clown, 3 From Hell, Red Letter Day, The Girl On The Third Floor, Doctor Sleep, and Little Monsters, and the return of the TV series Castle Rock. We begin by talking about Halloween III. We give a history of the film and how John Carpenter initially meant for the series to be an anthology style series of films rather than a sequence of sequels, and briefly discuss our opinions on the franchise as a whole. We talk about some of the performances and what makes the franchise so good, and Justin discusses what hits so hard about the film. We dissect the film as an analogy for criticizing hoarding of wealth and consumerism, as well as some aspects of the film that could be perceived as anti-colonial. We talk about some of the performances in the film and our personal histories with the movie. Next up is Trick R’ Treat. We discuss how the film breaks outside of the box that many anthology films live and die by and how it is a relatively recent film to be considered a classic but is nonetheless beloved. We talk about the impact the film has had on Halloween culture, in that the idea of “the rules of Halloween” sprang from it. We briefly talk about the fact that this film has a strong sense of justice in that the bad guys often get what is coming to them and that many of the people who die deserve it. We examine the fact that despite the film’s relatively lighthearted tone, there are a few genuinely creepy moments. And finally we talk about the character Sam, who has become something of an iconic character over the years and was a wise branding move on behalf of the filmmakers.

Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have an awesome episode in store for you. In this episode, we’re talking about a Fulci double-feature, 1980’s City Of The Living Dead and 1981’s The Beyond. And we even have a special guest: Joe Vitello from the B-Sides With Boog and The Horror Show podcasts! First in our hearts and in our copy, we want to give a shoutout to our sponsors over at Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, the premiere screen-printing company of the Lehigh Valley. Chris Reject and his merry band of miscreants are ready to work with you to bring to life your vision of a t-shirt, sweater, pin, or coozy for your business, band, project, or whatever else you have going on in your life. Head on over to www.xlvacx.com to check them out. Also, thank you to our Patreon subscribers. Your support means the world to us and we are eternally grateful for that support. Thanks! We start with a brief discussion of what we’ve watched lately. Liam and Justin talk about the recent Weekend Of Terror at the Mahoning Drive In, and Justin talks about the Netflix series Marianne and the movies I Trapped The Devil, Seeds, Jacob’s Ladder, Bliss, The Wind, and Climax. Next up, our main topic: Fulci. We begin with a brief outline of City Of The Living Dead, as well as the first time we each saw the movie and the different ways the movie has affected us. We discuss our favorite scenes, as well as the level of gore in the movie. Liam explains how both this and The Beyond have been mislabeled as zombie films, an especially galling when Fulci’s Zombi is sitting right there! Liam talks about some of his favorite Fulci trademarks, i.e. lingering shots on faces, voyeuristic camerawork with gore, and eye injury. The hated character of “Bob” is briefly discussed. Fulci’s filmography is a mixed bag of both genre and quality, and we touch upon this while discussing the semi-problematic qualities of Italian horror cinema, and the loose connections to Lovecraft in both films. Next up is The Beyond. We give an outline of the movie, and Justin again touches upon Fulci’s trademark of lingering camerawork over ultra gory scenes in a way that is “vaguely pornographic.” The lunacy of the spider sequence and how it makes no sense at all plot wise OR logistically is touched upon, with Justin defending that scene in that it is at least well done. We talk about our initial experiences with the film, and further discuss Fulci’s career. First and foremost, thank you to Joe for taking the time to talk spooky movies with us. You can follow him on IG at @boognish1985 and his podcast THE B_SIDES WITH BOOG at @boogs_b_side.

Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys. In this episode we’re talking about 1986’s Spookies and 1991’s Popcorn. First and foremost we want to give a shoutout to our sponsors over at Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, the premiere screen-printing company of the Lehigh Valley. Chris Reject and his merry band of miscreants are ready to work with you to bring to life your vision of a t-shirt for your business, band, project, or whatever else it is you need represented by a shirt, sweater, pin, or coozy. Head on over to www.xlvacx.com to check them out. Also, thank you to our Patreon subscribers. Your support means the world to us and we are eternally grateful for that support. Thanks! We start by briefly discussing what we’ve done lately involving horror. Justin talks about seeing Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark, Liam talks about the surprise of finding out that The Walking Dead comic book series wrapped up, and we discuss the trailers for Underwater, Antlers, The Pool, Bliss, Happy Face, Satanic Panic, Parasite, The Death Of Dick Long, The Golden Glove, Climate Of The Hunter, Scream, Queen!, Rock Paper Scissors, Something Else, and Deerskin. Justin also talks about attending Monster Mania Con in Cherry Hill last weekend. We begin by talking about Spookies. We give a basic outline of the plot and discuss the troubled production of the film, in which the entirety of the film was shot and then the financier decided to shoot additional footage with a different director to pad the running time. The weird phenomenon of actual adults looking for a place to drink and party in the beginning is discussed. We talk about how the movies strength (the excellent practical effects) is also is its biggest weakness, in that the film is clearly just an extended set up to show off the various effects. The unfortunate problematic nature of the Asian spider women is touched upon. Some of our favorite parts of the movie are discussed. We talk about the phenomenon of a bad movie being made earnestly being somewhat redeeming. We conclude by talking about how despite being flawed it is still a rather charming movie, and how it’s a shame it’s so hard to find on home media. Next up is Popcorn. We give a brief outline of the movie and discuss how it has developed a cult following since it’s been released, despite being widely panned critically. We talk about the movie’s failed attempt at offering some kind of “meta” commentary on slasher films. The troubled production of the movie is touched upon. We talk about what doesn’t work for the movie, including lackluster performances, disjointed narratives, and a weak storyline. Justin argues that the movie isn’t clever or good enough to accomplish what it sets out to do, which is lightly parody and skewer the William Castle style gimmicks of 1950s/1960s horror and scifi movies. The films attempt at being subversive and failing is touched upon. Liam argues that movie actually succeeds at being “respectful” to the movies it’s attempting to skewer. Some of inconsistencies in the movie are discussed As always thanks to everyone and anyone who donated on Patreon, checked this episode out, or shared a tweet/shared a post on FB/gave us love by recommending us to someone.

Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys. In this episode we’re talking about 1972’s Asylum and 1974’s The Beast Must Die. First and foremost we want to give a shoutout to our sponsors over at Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, the premiere screen-printing company of the Lehigh Valley. Chris Reject and his merry band of miscreants are ready to work with you to bring to life your vision of a t-shirt for your business, band, project, or whatever else it is you need represented by a shirt, sweater, pin, or coozy. Head on over to www.xlvacx.com to check them out. Also, thank you to our Patreon subscribers. Your support means the world to us and we are eternally grateful for that support. Thanks! We start by briefly discussing what we’ve done lately involving horror, including the recent VHS Fest at the Mahoning Drive, seeing the films Crawl, Midsommar, Annabelle Comes Home, Perfection, and I Am Mother, the trailers for Rabid, Jacob’s Ladder, and It: Chapter 2, and the announcement that Marvel Studios would be producing a new Blade film. We begin by talking about Asylum. We start by giving a rough outline of the film, and then talking about what makes a good anthology film, or in this case a bad anthology film. We talk about each individual story and discuss what we liked about each vignette. We briefly talk about the impact Robert Bloch had on horror as a whole, including his work dealing with the Cthulu Mythos. The influences of the various segments are discussed, both in what they influence and in what influenced them. The question of whether or not the film should be given some slack because it was arguably the first horror anthology film is delved into. Next up is The Beast Must Die. We begin by giving another “hard and fast Horror Business” rule when it comes to horror movies, in this case that a werewolf movie is only as good as it’s werewolf design, and in turn we criticize the design of the werewolf of this movie, which is essentially a large dog with extra fur added. We discuss the plot of the movie and how transparent it is from the gate. We touch upon the films attempts at being a “whodunit” style film but doesn’t drop any clues, how the red herrings in the movie were clearly obvious, and the annoying gimmick that was added in post-production. We weren’t big fans of this movie, so there’s not much substance to what we’re talking about besides tearing the movie apart.

In the late 1950s a Texas town on the Gulf of Mexico was suffering from a devastating, decade-long drought. But while the wells ran dry, the ocean lapped at the town’s shore, taunting the thirsty residents with its endless supply of undrinkable water. Undrinkable, that is, until President John F. Kennedy stepped in to save the day with the promise of science. The evolving technology of desalination wouldn’t just end droughts: it would give us as much water as we wanted. It would allow us to inhabit otherwise uninhabitable places. It would let us make the deserts bloom. But at what cost?
