This week on Friday Night Frightfest, we're facing a chilling truth: nothing is scarier than when the children are not alright. We're exploring the horrific subgenre of "creepy kids" or "kids in danger" by comparing the multi-perspective horror epic Weapons (2025) from the director of Barbarian, and the recent Blumhouse chiller There's Something Wrong with the Children (2023). Weapons (2025) Directed by Zach Cregger, Weapons is an ambitious, sprawling horror film that centers on a terrifying mystery in the small town of Maybrook, Pennsylvania. The plot follows the case of seventeen children from the same classroom who mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, all except one. The film explores the community's frantic search for answers and the psychic disintegration of the adults as they grapple with the idea that the children themselves may be the source of the terror, linking themes of social collapse and supernatural dread. There's Something Wrong with the Children (2023) Directed by Roxanne Benjamin, this film is a more contained take on the corrupted child trope. When two couples take a weekend trip to a remote woodland cabin, one couple's two young children mysteriously disappear into the woods overnight near a strange set of ruins. When the kids return, Ben (Zach Gilford) begins to suspect something supernatural has possessed them, but his friends dismiss his concerns as mental health issues. The film uses the isolation of the cabin and the paranoia within the adult group to amplify the sinister horror of the changed children. Join us as we look at these two distinct approaches to corrupted innocence. Which film offers the most chilling vision of childhood twisted into an instrument of fear? Tune in to find out! Spoilers start around 5:50

In this episode, we're exploring two of the most talked-about horror releases of the decade — Oddity (2024) and Zach Cregger's Weapons (2025). Both films take bold, unexpected approaches to fear, blending psychological tension with social commentary and twists.We'll unpack Oddity's eerie blend of grief and the supernatural — how its haunting imagery and folklore roots create a slow-burning sense of dread — and contrast it with Weapons, Zach Cregger's ambitious follow-up to Barbarian, a sprawling, multi-narrative thriller about violence, guilt, and the fractured state of modern America._______________________________Feel free to email at silverscreenvideopodcast@gmail.com with any comments or thoughts.

For our special Halloween episode, we sit down with VFX Supervisor Gabriel Regentin to discuss his work with Ingenuity Studios on the smash-hit horror film, Weapons. Gabriel details his close collaboration with director Zach Cregger, whose primary goal was to ensure every visual effect felt 100% "in-camera" and unquestionably real. He shares the challenge of creating the film's signature terrifying effects and how Ingenuity Studios was brought in early to develop the look for such a massive, director-driven vision. Gabriel also walks us through his fascinating "origin story," from studying Performing Arts Technology in Michigan to navigating the 90s dot-com boom in New York with Macromedia Director and After Effects. He recounts his big break on The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, where he earned the nickname "Gatlin Gabe" for his rapid temp comps and created a shot so good it became the benchmark for the final vendor, landing him a job at Framestore and launching his career in feature films.

Episode 97: Weapons Just in time for a Halloween Spooktacular, the gang is back for Season 5 of Philosophy in Film, and the reel's already spinning! First up in the tray: Zach Cregger's eerie ensemble horror Weapons (2025), where seventeen schoolchildren vanish at 2:17 a.m., forcing a town to ask: what if the monster isn't outside, but inside the story? In search of answers, Craig sounds the alarm with Producer's Notes (8:31) while Alain opens the Beauclair Synopsis (17:23), laying out the tangled threads of characters, each chasing a truth they're too afraid to face. Chris slips into Philosopher's Corner (42:55), tracing the film's vanishings through a dim reflection of screens and silence, where the real horror may be what we've grown used to losing. At The Round Table (42:40), the gang wrangles the question: Is Weapons a cautionary mirror or a funhouse for our fears? Later, Reviews (1:10:48) and Mailbag (1:24:41) let our audience testify in the court of shared dread. As always, we reflect on the philosophical and non-philosophical fissures the film fractures open, because in a town where the children vanish, silence becomes just another weapon.

This week on Thumb War, Jason and Rachel (with special guest Dan Dan The Pie Man!) check in to the worst Airbnb in cinematic history: Barbarian (2022). We're talking Bill Skarsgård's creep factor, Justin Long's slimeball turn, the unforgettable “Mother,” and why this film makes you scream “Don't go in the basement!” Is Barbarian a horror masterpiece or a divisive mess? We break down the scares, the social commentary, and the sheer chaos of Zach Cregger's debut. Four thumbs way, way up. Don't forget to like, subscribe & hit the bell for more Thumb War reviews!

Get ready for male camaraderie, frat culture, and team sports gone wild—because this week on Live, Laugh, Larceny, we're surrounded by bros! Trevin's week starts with a petty mystery straight out of his own phone history, as someone in Kansas City keeps using his number for real estate and house rental applications. Can the true culprit finally be found, or will this housing hustle haunt him forever? Amanda's parenting dilemma hits close to home when she realizes her daughter has mistaken her for a climbing gym and shoulder parrot. It's all about teaching kids boundaries, with the usual mix of deadpan humor and relatable chaos. In Two Truths and a Lie, Trevin goes dark with a game inspired by The Death of Stalin (IFC Films). Taking a spin through modern-day dictatorships, he delivers unbelievable headlines involving Vladimir Putin, Nicolás Maduro, and Kim Jong Un—and challenges listeners to spot the fake authoritarian headline in this nightmare blunt rotation of global leaders. Amanda balances things out with a cozy fall-themed Two Truths and a Lie about pumpkins, pie, and pumpkin-spice trivia. From the world's largest pumpkin pie record to the debate over whether pumpkins are fruit or vegetable, Amanda brings seasonal chaos and a sprinkle of millennial meltdown. Then, for Storytime, Trevin blends dark comedy and social commentary in a story inspired by the upcoming Zach Cregger movie, Weapons. Based on the arrest of Charles Burgess, this satire dives into viral trends, toxic masculinity, and the absurdity of modern internet culture. What happens when an Ohio auto shop owner gets tangled in a Bitcoin knockoff modeled after a green dildo? Add in a 12-year-old girl, the WNBA, and a case of online hysteria—and you've got one unhinged headline that could only happen in 2025. Amanda closes things out by revisiting one of CrimeCon's favorite petty crimes: public urination. She shares a college party story that starts with beer and bad decisions and ends with a truly embarrassing bathroom emergency—because sometimes petty crime hits way too close to home. This week's theme ties it all together: bros everywhere. From frat parties to dictatorships, this episode proves that toxic masculinity and petty behavior go hand in hand—and we're here to laugh about it.

Mike talks to Zach Cregger, the director of Weapons. Zach talks about what it’s like to have a No. 1 movie, what celebrity he hopes watches his film and why comedians are good at horror. Zach and Mike also get into a debate about punk rock. Mike then shares his Top 5 Directors of the 2020s so far. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Him starring Marlon Wayans and Tyriq Withers. It’s about a rising quarterback who suffers a potentially career-ending injury after being attacked by an unhinged fan. Just when all seems lost, he receives a lifeline when his football hero offers to train him at an isolated compound. Mike talks about why he felt bamboozled, how it lacked a plot and why even though he didn’t fully love it that it could quite possibly be ahead of its time. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about Sydney Sweeney stepping into the ring as boxing legend Christy Martin. She never imagined life beyond her small-town roots in West Virginia until she discovered a knack for punching people. Mike shares Sydney Sweeney’s dedication to her character, the red flags from the trailer and what is the downfall of sports biopics. New Episodes Every Monday!
