On this episode, we get into a couple of genre mashups in horror and comedy and family dynamics. First, we talk about the new movie Ready or Not starring Samara Weaving, Adam Brody, and Andie Macdowell about a woman marrying into a wealthy family with an insane ritual for bringing in someone new to their empire. Then we talk about a movie from 2011 called You're Next with similar things at play. Directed by Adam Wingard, it's ostensibly about a girl meeting the family of her boyfriend, but there is a lot that isn't exactly what is seems with some comedy and lots of horror to feast on.

#156 - Horror/Comedy/Family: Ready or Not & You're Next

We recorded this episode last week, but haven't been able to upload it until now, sorry for the delay, but...On this episode, we talk about a couple a groups of friends that help each other grow as well as a documentary about a director we love and admire. First, we talk about the movie Good Boys starring Jacob Tremblay about a group of tweens who find themselves in waters way above their maturity level in an R-rated comedy. Then we talk about a movie from our high school days about another group of nerdy friends and their brush with badassery in The Girl Next Door starring Emile Hirsch, Elisha Cuthbert, and Paul Dano. And to close out the episode we switch gears a bit to talk about a documentary that illuminates one of our favorite directors Hal Ashby in a movie simply called Hal.

#159 - Ad Astra & Beyond the Infinite (the future of Celluloid Heroes)

A show that champions the film world and professes that movies are still very much alive. Co-hosts and movie nerds Sean Shapiro and Steven Fine first review and discuss a new movie. Then we weave a thematic thread through time to connect the new movie with older movies to give us a chance to discuss movies from the past that we love or have yet to see.
