The Shawshank Redemption

Today is Sean’s 40th birthday, and to celebrate we took a little trip and all got together for the first time in a couple of years. We watched a lot of movies, we recorded a lot of episodes, but we wanted something special for his actual birthday, so we gave Sean the option of recording about anything he wanted, and he chose his all time favorite, The Shawshank Redemption.

Watching movies is great, but sharing this experience with the other guys on the show has been an absolute pleasure.

Enjoy!

In the Tall Grass

When I used to work in a video store, I remember that there would be full sections of one particular title, if it was a big enough movie. There was also a row full of single title films, and this is usually where your low budget horror films would end up. Netflix, as a way of replacing video stores, seems to be making both types of movies. I know that you might see that In the Tall Grass is a horror movie based on a Stephen King story, and think that this would have been the kind of movie that gets a whole section at the video store, but I promise you, this is a “single title” film all the way. I hope you like movies that only take place in a field.

Enjoy!

It: Chapter 2

After our last episode, we thought maybe we should go with a more “traditional” horror film. That said, It: Chapter 2 still wants to go toe-to-toe with Midsommar in total runtime…so you know…that’s cool. While this sequel to the smash hit from 2017 may not be as good as its predecessor, there are still plenty of good things to talk about…but damn, it is really long. And how did they do such a great job of casting some people…and really drop the ball with other choices?

Pet Semetary & Hellboy

This week we take a look at a couple of movies that have already existed, but they went ahead and made new versions anyway. Did either of these movies need to be made? Did either of them exceed the originals? Did one of them manage to be a contender for the worst movie of 2019? So many questions, and we do our best to answer them.

Enjoy!
