    Ron, Steve, and John ruminate on the nature of crime and justice as they discuss Bong Joon-Ho’s moody and absorbing 2003 serial killer drama, Memories of Murder. Then younger versions of the guys emerge from their bloody torn bodies for a run-down of Coralie Fargeat’s visceral, upsetting, and darkly funny new body horror film, The Substance. Happy Halloween!

    Ron, Steve, and John are back with a horror-centric episode, from Ron’s Required Viewing pick, Doctor Sleep, to this week’s brand-new Smile 2, with a little side serving of Art the Clown, whose latest, the bludgeoning Terrifier 3, is already a huge success, especially for an unrated, independently-produced film.

    Steve, Ron, and John take a look at two new releases: an animated adaptation of the first half of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’s seminal graphic novel, Watchmen, and the latest entry in a franchise that keeps on kicking (and hugging faces and dripping acid blood), Alien: Romulus.

    Aug 9 2024

    The guys discuss perhaps the bleakest animated talking animal movie ever made, Martin Rosen’s The Plague Dogs (1982), before moving on to the much cheerier subject of incestuous royals engaged in bloody civil war, aka the second season finale of House of the Dragon. Then Steve and John try to escape their ambivalence about M Night Shyamalan’s latest mid-budget thriller, Trap.
