Kim continues telling Ket about Starry Eyes. It's full of triggering stuff, guys, not the least of which is a harkening back to Kim's days imprisoned in her own Big Taters. But whatever horrors this movie brings up, it doesn't compare to the horrors of today's world. So, let's pop some acid with Ketryn and see what sticks, shall we? Most importantly, we'll learn if Ket will live or die in Starry Eyes.Dir.

What does it actually take to make a horror film that matters? Not a studio green light. Not a VFX budget. Not a catering line.This month, Chelsea Stardust curates three films that answer that question on their own uncompromising terms. Jeremy Gardner's The Battery strips the zombie apocalypse down to two former baseball players, a Discman, and a friendship slowly coming apart at the seams. Starry Eyes follows a young actress as the machinery of Hollywood ambition grinds her into something unrecognizable — and possibly exactly what she always wanted to be. And Hellbender, made by a real family in their real backyard, turns the mother-daughter relationship into a folk horror inheritance no one asked for and no one can refuse.Together, these three films share a preoccupation with death and rebirth — not as plot mechanics, but as the thing transformation actually costs. Chelsea, Pete, Kynan, and Tommy dig into what it means to make something from almost nothing, and why the best low-budget horror isn't resourceful so much as honest.Featured FilmsTonight's Triple Feature:The Battery - Apple TV | Amazon Starry Eyes - Apple TV Hellbender - Apple TV | AmazonView Our List on Letterboxd (00:00) - Welcome to Sitting in the Dark (03:34) - The Battery (28:49) - Starry Eyes (50:01) - Hellbender (01:09:23) - Coming Attractions Support The Next Reel Family of Film Shows:Become a member for just $5/month or $55/yearJoin our Discord community of movie loversThe Next Reel Family of Film Shows:Cinema Scope: Bridging Genres, Subgenres, and MovementsThe Film BoardMovies We LikeThe Next ReelSitting in the DarkConnect With Us:Main Site: WebMovie Platforms: Letterboxd | FlickchartSocial Media: Facebook | Instagram | Threads | Bluesky | YouTube | PinterestYour Hosts: Chelsea | Kyle | Kynan | Pete | Tommy Shop & Stream:Merch Store: Apparel, stickers, mugs & moreWatch Page: Buy/rent films we've discussedOriginals: Source material from our episodesSpecial offers: Audible

Kim tells Ket about a movie too triggering for the girls to have done any earlier than the 397th episode. Starry Eyes sends the girls barreling back to a time and place that feels, frankly, all too real. But Kim apparently is far enough removed that she doesn't even know the correct term for Casting Director. Stay tuned for part 2 to see if Kim survives the PTSD of working in a chain restaurant.Dir.

This month on Sitting in the Dark, we go big: big monsters, big fear, and big systems that respond to catastrophe with the confidence of a guy who just Googled “what is monster” on his way into the meeting. Kynan, Chelsea Stardust, Tommy Metz III, and Pete Wright take on three modern giant-creature films—Bong Joon-ho's The Host (2006), André Øvredal's Troll Hunter (2010), and Takashi Yamazaki's Godzilla Minus One (in its Minus Color presentation)—and find a weirdly consistent thread across wildly different cultures: when the giant thing shows up, the institutions mostly don't.The Host kicks things off with tonal whiplash as a feature, not a bug. The film's mix of grief, comedy, and political bite becomes its own kind of monster, and the conversation circles what Bong is really lampooning, what still lands, and what hits differently on a rewatch. The creature design gets its due too—full daylight, hard to pin down, impossible to “know”—but what lingers is the movie's sense that people become collateral long before anything with teeth arrives.Troll Hunter shifts the vibe without letting you off the hook. The group gets into the found-footage push-pull—shaky cam, “why are you still filming,” all that—then pretty quickly agrees that Hans, the deadpan troll hunter, is the secret weapon. The film's charm is how seriously it takes the ridiculous premise: folklore becomes logistics, mythology becomes fieldwork, and the jokes don't erase the danger. It's one of those movies that makes you laugh… then reminds you you'd die immediately.Godzilla Minus One brings it home with a version of Godzilla that's less “spectacle” and more “reckoning.” The group talks about the postwar setting, the human story at the center, why the black-and-white presentation changes the feel of the effects, and how this movie earns its impact through quiet scenes as much as destruction.Across all three films, the episode keeps returning to the same uncomfortable idea: these are blue-collar fights. The people who do anything meaningful aren't the polished experts. They're ordinary, exhausted, under-resourced, and improvising. Which might be the scariest part.Next month, Chelsea flips the table for her birthday picks with an ultra low-budget lineup: The Battery (2012), Hellbender (2021), and Starry Eyes (2014).

This week it's just Holden and Jackie, and they're both mourning the loss of David Lynch by viewing his filmic experiences, and both make plans to revisit shows they stopped in the past like post season 1 Twin Peaks, and HBO's Watchmen. Holden spent too much money at Amoeba Records, but got a pretty sweet Beyonce boxset vinyl! Jackie recalls watching Mulholland Drive with her mother in the theatre at roughly age 13. Jackie hates her love for Bad Girls Club, and despite spoiling it for Holden, Jackie won't let him spoil "The Brutalist". Jackie gives a breakdown of the Bam Margera episode of "The Curious Case Of...", and Holden lets Jackie know what he's thinkin' of the breakdown of "Dear Evan Hansen" by Jenny Nicholson. Jackie was not super impressed with "A Real Pain", but worth a watch now that it's on Hulu, and Holden gives an update on Kings of Tupelo! Great Art Explained is a Great Break from the current reality, Jackie rewatched Starry Eyes, and EVEN MOOOOORE! Twin Peaks - Paramount+Lost Highway - Amazon PrimeReal Housewives of SLC - PeacockBad Girls Club Season 7 - OxygenCurious Case of....Bam Margera - MaxA Real Pain - HuluThe Kings of Tupelo - NetflixGreat Art Explained - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBG621XEegk&ab_channel=GreatArtExplainedStarry Eyes - Peacock Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ on Apple Podcasts to listen to ad-free new episodes.

Brian and Steve take a chance on the newly released Milk & Serial. The $800 budgeted, found footage horror film debuted on YouTube from the comedy and filmmaking group That's A Bad Idea. Essentially the opposite of what we talked about in our Starry Eyes discussion, this is a group of friends who actually get things made rather than paying lip service. Tune in as we break down all the good things they do when money is short and resources are limited. Also, some how we wind up talking about Drive My Car and The Last Omen. Plus we announce our October Showdown movies from the Wheel O' Ween!

Share a classic Hollywood tale with us, in Starry Eyes (2014), in which a girl auditions for a movie. Isn't that enough to call it horror?

Hello, Hello!   In this episode, Chris has a conversation with Jason Padgitt, Executive Director of the Nashville Film Festival. They discuss Jason's role and responsibilities at NaFF, the film selection process, balancing industry and artistic interests, and the future of AI in filmmaking. Enjoy this insightful conversation about the inner workings of a major independent film festival.   We also talk about: - Importance of music and music-based films to NaFF - Balancing industry influence with artistic integrity in programming - Role of technical quality versus storytelling in film selections - Managing filmmaker expectations for a music-focused regional festival - Trends in annual programming "points of view" - Role of opening credits in assessing a film - Potential for new "Best AI Film" categories in the future   Enjoy!     Indie Artist Spotlight     Artist: The Familiar   Track: Starry Eyes   Above the Arctic Circle during Norway's season of darkness, a chance encounter between an American and a Norwegian spawned a transatlantic musical partnership called The Familiar. The duo of native New Yorker Ruth Mirsky and Tromsø-born producer Mads Martinsen is the northern lights meeting the skyscrapers of New York. "Starry Eyes" tells the story of a woman that knows the odds are stacked against her, but remains optimistic that if she follows her best instincts, satisfaction will arrive.

Chained (2012), Honeymoon (2014), and Relic (2020) With over 60 episodes so far in our podcast history, we realized that in all that we covered, we had never covered anything by a woman director. We knew we needed to change that. Going through the history of women directors, we realized that not only wasn't something new, but have been working in the industry since the beginning of film. And in the last two decades, have really started to show their stuff. So to help celebrate Women's History Month, we figured it was well past due that we tackle three films that were directed by women, once again, picking three random titles, but amazed to find just how similar they were to each other, not to mention being very effective in their craft, and storytelling. Movies mentioned in this episode: American Mary (2012), Army of Darkness (1992), The Babadook (2014), Chained (2012), Cockney vs Zombies (2012), Coffy (1973), Dead Hooker in a Trunk (2009), Fear Street: Part One 1994 (2021), Fear Street: Part Two 1978 (2021), Fear Street: Part Three 1666 (2021), Ganja and Hess (1973), Ginger Snaps (2000), Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers (1988), Honeymoon (2014), Humanoids from the Deep (1980), In My Skin (2002), Inside (2007), Invasion of the Body Snatcher (1956), Kids (1995), Look What Happened to Rosemary's Baby (1976), Maniac (1980), The Monster and the Girl (1914), Near Dark (1987), The Nightingale (2018), Pet Sematary (1989), The Pit and the Pendulum (1913), The Relic (1997), Relic (2020), A Serbian Film (2010), The Silence of the Lambs (1991), Starry Eyes (2014), Slumber Party Massacre (1982), Street Trash (1987), The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014), Vampire (1915)

The student loan crisis is a Big Deal. And it is only a part of a Bigger Deal: the Myth of College. This issue will be front-and-center in the upcoming elections. We will all be handed our very own 'Yay, College' signs to raise high.

From a kid in Colorado who “just wanted to dance”… to getting the acting bug and making the move to Los Angeles… to how he approaches the audition process… to his unforgettable break out performance as “Ray Pye” in THE LOST (did he really wear crushed cans inside of his boots?)… to stepping into the role of producer and getting the ball rolling on bringing the screenplay for OLD MAN to life… to filming with acclaimed director and dear friend of this podcast Lucky McKee (Episode 137) and starring opposite the great Stephen Lang (Episode 349) during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic… Marc's passion for his craft and the choices he has made as a performer have made him one of the most interesting and exciting actors to watch over the last two decades.
