On this, our 30th full-length episode of Let The Right Films In, the crew welcomes Meghin Moore of Modern Vinyl and the Missaligned podcast  (modern-vinyl.com/category/missaligned) to discuss one of the most quotable movies of our childhood. We talk Rob Reiner, Robin Wright, and fencers' favorite movies.

But first: 

Megan leads us on a journey into the extended Kardashian universe.
Kayla wants to lie down like Ali Wong and be spared the pain of another Bryan Fuller cancellation (good luck, Star Trek).
Tyler has some then-fresh (but now artic cold) Luke Cage thoughts and ponders why the shark of The Shallows was so hell-bent on murdering Blake. Lively.

Ep. 30 - The Princess Bride: Children should know that breasts are good and great

Everyone’s favorite murderous doll is back, and so are Liz and Evan, as they tackle the 2013 straight-to-DVD sequel Curse of Chucky. They’re joined by Chucky expert and multi-time podcast guest James Skosky to do a deep dive into the history and future of the Child’s Play franchise, as the trio get lost in the details of this uniquely satisfying movie.

Join them as they applaud Brad Dourif (or is it Tommy Wiseau?) in the title role, consider the logistics of electrocution, get genuinely surprised by the twists and turns, and ultimately try to figure out how this low-budget, little-known sixth(!) sequel actually manages to be one of the best films in the franchise. 

If you know the ins and outs of the complex Child’s Play mythos, then be sure to check out nowscreaming.com, and join the discussion with us on Twitter @nowscreaming (or chat with James about it - @MST3James).

#37: Curse of Chucky

The line to enter Barcelona’s most famous cathedral often stretches around the block. La Sagrada Família, designed by Antoni Gaudí, draws millions of visitors each year.

There are a lot of Gothic churches in Spain, but this one is different. It doesn’t look like a Gothic cathedral. It looks organic, like it was built out of bones or sand. But there’s another thing that sets it apart from your average old Gothic cathedral: it isn’t actually old.

Gaudí wasn’t able to build very much of his famous church before he died in 1926. Most of it has been built in the last 40 years, and it still isn’t finished. Which means that architects have had to figure out, and still are figuring out, how Gaudí wanted the church to be built.

We're back! This week, Liz and Evan power through their respective illnesses in an attempt to start the new year off right with the cult favorite horror-comedy JOHN DIES AT THE END. Join them as they try to understand this surreal and silly romp, unpacking the confusing racial politics amidst a bevy of intriguing drug-fueled hallucinations.

#40: John Dies At The End

This week, Liz and Evan were the masters of their own destiny as they picked the imperfect but intriguing technological horror film BEDEVILED in an effort to get 2018 back on track. Join them as they fawn over the exemplary monster design, lament the film’s shortsighted engagement with the marvels of modern technology, and try to avoid motion sickness amidst the overwhelming onslaught of Dutch angles.

If you, too, rely a bit too much on a personal assistant AI, then be sure to check out nowscreaming.com, and share your favorite jump scares with us on Twitter @nowscreaming.

#41: Bedeviled

It was a dark and story February evening when Liz and Evan, bound by circumstance, came together to witness a very peculiar event: the 2015 Mexican sci-fi chamber piece THE SIMILARS. Little did they know that reality would not be as it seemed - perhaps never again - as they discussed the pitch-perfect pulpy tone and execution, as well as the film’s heavy political backdrop of student protests and government violence.

Oh, and then they talked about Netflix’s Big Game Surprise: THE CLOVERFIELD PARADOX. 

If you understand that Ignacio is the most important character in every story, then be sure to check out nowscreaming.com, and discuss the movie (and Cloverfield) with us on Twitter @nowscreaming. Don’t forget to tell your friends, and rate, review, and subscribe to the podcast on iTunes, and don’t read too many comic books. You never know when they might manifest aliens.

#42: The Similars

If you know me, you know my love for Minus the Bear and how they've influenced every aspect of my life. This week it was announced they would be separating and moving on to new adventures. 

This is my small way of saying thanks to the band for all the memories <3
