Podcast appearances and mentions of Scott Beck

This episode of Vermont Viewpoint hosted by Brad Ferland aired on 06/09/2025.

What makes Heretic (2024) one of A24's most divisive horror films to date? In this movie review, we dive into a slow-burn thriller where Hugh Grant channels cold charisma as a philosophical villain challenging everything you believe — literally. Directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods (A Quiet Place), the film traps two young Mormon missionaries (Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East) in a psychological mind game that unpacks faith, control, and the seductive power of certainty. Buckle up — this one's going to stir up some serious spiritual discomfort. NEWSLETTER and UNCUT REELS!!!!!

Scott Beck, Vermont Senate Minority Leader, joins Kurt & Anthony to discuss Education Reform.

Boston-bestie Mandy Connor returns to talk about four movies. She and Scotty start with the best of the bunch: the truly frightening 2024 Irish mystery-horror film "Oddity," by writer/director Damian Mc Carthy and featuring a standout performance from Carolyn Bracken. They then shift gears with 2020's oddball but impressive indie psychological drama/sci-fi horror movie "Horse Girl," directed by the late Jeff Baena and co-written by star Alison Brie. Things take a marked turn for the worse with this year's "Until Dawn," a severely undercooked and trope-heavy adaptation of the beloved PlayStation game. They finish off with the promising (but ultimately disappointing) "Heretic" (2024), starring Hugh Grant, Chloe East, and Sophie Thatcher, and written/directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods. Scotty and Mandy also give some love to the recent trailer for "The Long Walk," and Mandy sings the praises of "Antrum: The Deadliest Film Ever Made" (2018). WARNING: Scotty and Mandy tried to avoid major spoilers for most of the movies discussed, but you should proceed with caution nonetheless. To be honest, they didn't try all that hard for "Until Dawn."

Scott Beck, Senate Republican Minority Leader, joins Kurt & Anthony to talk about the last few weeks of this year's Legislative Session.

In this intense episode, we dissect Heretic (2024), the gripping psychological thriller that's redefining faith and fear on screen. Starring Hugh Grant as the diabolical Mr. Reed, whose chilling line, “Faith isn't just belief. It's obedience,” sets the tone for a harrowing battle of wills against two young missionaries caught in a web of manipulation and doubt.Directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, Heretic plunges us into a dark exploration of ideology, control, and the terrifying power of conviction. We break down Grant's electrifying performance — described by critics as “next-level” and “a career-defining role” — and the film's masterful use of religious symbolism and psychological terror. Join us as we unravel the twisted narrative, discuss key scenes like the unforgettable confrontation at the door, and explore what Heretic reveals about the nature of belief and the cost of questioning it. Whether you're a fan of horror, thrillers, or provocative cinema, this episode delivers a deep dive packed with spoilers, analysis, and bold takes.

"Heretic" von Scott Beck und Bryan Woods erzählt die Geschichte der jungen Mormoninnen Schwester Barnes und Schwester Paxton, die bei ihrer Missionsarbeit auf den scheinbar freundlichen Mr. Reed treffen. Dieser entpuppt sich jedoch als manipulativer Psychopath, der die beiden in seinem labyrinthartigen Haus gefangen hält und sie durch perfide Glaubensprüfungen zwingt, ihre Überzeugungen zu hinterfragen. Im Verlauf entdecken die Frauen weitere Opfer und müssen um ihr Überleben kämpfen, wobei es zu tragischen Verlusten kommt. Ich habe nach vielen Jahren mal wieder das Vergnügen mit Manuel zu sprechen und wir wünschen Euch viel Spaß und gute Unterhaltung!

This week Will and Ian are controlled by a vicious captor, maybe the unseen and unheard Nora (who was sicky-poo) pulling the strings and forcing them to confront their faith in nothing, and their need for control of nothing.

This week Josh and Jade review the A24 psychological horror film, Heretic. The movie was written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods. It stars Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East as two Mormon missionaries who attempt to convert a man (Hugh Grant) who is more dangerous than he seems.Also, inside the episode our hosts discuss their latest theories on White Lotus S3 and recap winners and losers from the Oscars. Click play and tell your friends you listen to the show. Our goals is to hit 8 listeners this week.

2024 was such a great year for Horror that we ran out of time to discuss some of these films. Heretic co-directed and co-written by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods came out at the tail end of the year. Boasting a lean and mean cast featuring High Grant, Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East, the film tells the story of two missionaries who try to convert a deceptively dangerous loner.  

PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmakers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods (A QUIET PLACE, HAUNT, 65) return to discuss their latest film HERETIC (available now) and their Iowa movie theater (The Last Picture House) with Adam, Joe, and Arwen. Having last appeared on THE MOVIE CRYPT five years ago (Episode 331), Beck and Woods have been lighting up Hollywood and captivating audiences since they last appeared on the podcast! From their process writing and directing together as a duo… to casting movie star Hugh Grant in what is now considered one of the greatest performances of his career… to creating a single location thriller where the terror is conveyed through dialogue as opposed to jump scares or violence… to working with legendary cinematographer Chung-hoon Chung (OLDBOY)… to the overwhelmingly positive response to HERETIC from critics and audiences alike and the response that those with strong religious convictions have had to HERETIC… Beck and Woods are quickly becoming one of the most successful duos in Hollywood.  Also, Dr. Arwen and the guys provide “Hollywood Therapy” for a listener dealing with crushing grief and Beck and Woods discuss both the hurdles and the triumphs of opening their very own movie theater in their home town. 

Among DOGE's federal funding cuts, tariffs, and proposed cuts to Medicaid, there is a lot of change happening in the federal budget. Vermont State Treasurer Mike Pieciak, Senate minority leader Scott Beck, and a recently-fired USDA worker give us their thoughts.

Ben and Rob knock on ‘Heretic's door and spread the good word about Hugh Grant's masterful villain turn of 2024. Written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, ‘Heretic' was another A24 success story making over sixty million dollars from a budget of just ten. Starring Hugh Grant, Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East, ‘Heretic' tells the story of two Mormon missionaries who knock on the wrong door with horrific consequences. It has the brains that Rob hungers for and the fun that Ben craves but does that make this the best horror film of 2024? Ben tries to defend his faith against four undeniable pieces of evidence that ‘Heretic' can't be beaten in the 2024 horror lineup. How can Ben deny it?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much MUCH more!PLUS!

Religious horror has been around forever. Obviously much of it has been related to demons, exorcisms, the devil, and vampires. Much of it has focused upon faith versus nihilism. Well, the new film HERETIC (2024) takes an interesting twist with this subgenre of horror. What if filmmakers decided to pursue more a philosophical approach. Two Mormon missionaries, young woman Sister Paxton (Chloe East) and Sister Barnes (Sophie Thatcher), have donated their time to knock on doors to spread the word of God as well as promoting their religion. Following up on a lead from a man named Mr. Reed (Hugh Grant), they leave the downtown area and knock on his door. He welcomes them in, offers them some blueberry pie that his wife has made, and listens to the young ladies and asks follow up questions.Scott Beck and Bryan Wood, the screenwriters of A QUIET PLACE (2018), both directed and wrote this new psychological horror film. Starring Hugh Grant once again in an expected and fabulous performance, the film is heavy on dialogue allowing actresses Chloe East and Sophie Thatcher to play directly against Grant's Mr. Reed. Your co-hosts take a look at the movie and give their thoughts.

We're covering HERETIC (dir Scott Beck, Bryan Woods) today! We're walking right past the shallow religious interpretation of this film, and taking a swing at a more provocative take: this movie is about sex. And does it even do a good job of being about it?

Vermont's Republican state senators have elected Scott Beck of St. Johnsbury as their new caucus leader. Republicans ousted longtime Senator Randy Brock of St. Albans. Beck has served as a state representative since 2015. This comes as Republicans flipped six seats during the November election, which significantly narrowed their margin with Democrats. Beck joins us to outline his goals as lawmakers head into a new session in January.Broadcast live on Tuesday, December 3, 2024.

Today on Script Apart – religion, Radiohead and ratcheting terror, in the basement of a man who has spent way too long on the "Monopoly" Wikipedia. Four years after their first appearance on Script Apart, breaking down their franchise-launching script for A Quiet Place, writer-director duo Scott Beck and Bryan Woods are with us once again, to unpick their theology-themed new horror movie, Heretic.The film tells the tale of two Mormon missionaries, Sister Paxton and Sister Barnes, played by Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East, who find themselves trapped in the home of a man supposedly curious about joining their church. Quickly, they realise that this eccentric Englishman's true curiosities lie in death, resurrection and the etymology of religion itself. If pulse-quickening tension is your religion when it comes to horror, your prayers have been answered – Heretic is masterful in the way it mounts its shocks en route to a terrifying conclusion.In this spoiler conversation, Bryan and Scott had plenty to say about their personal journeys with religion – the good that it contributes to the world, as well as the worrying ways that it's often leveraged by malicious opportunists in our political spheres, as a means of grabbing power. You'll hear about the evolution of Mr. Read, Hugh Grant's absurdly unsettling antagonist – and there's also mention of a “spiritual sequel” to Heretic that they're working on right now. Apologies to Taco Bell. We don't talk about Taco Bell. Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

We have a bonus episode of Soundtracking for you today, as none other than Hugh Grant joins Edith to discuss his brilliantly creepy performance as the sadistic Mr Reed in Scott Beck and Bryan Woods's horror thriller, Heretic. Heretic tells the story of two young female Mormons who turn up at Mr Reed's house in an attempt to convert him. What ensues is a twisted game of cat and mouse, chillingly marshalled by Hugh.
