Well this the end, the show stopping number to cap off the Hatchetfield series as a whole. A satirical take on weak gender swaps, a small town murder, and the continued trend of characters getting proved right in their world view that ends in much more blood than it probably should. We discuss the work itself, a type of story being utilised and it's pitfalls therein, and finally theories based on lore.

The final of the main trilogy of musicals about this weird little island town and it's multiple timeline goings on. We're going back to school where they may be a god of some sort, there are definitely nerdy prudes and there's murder singing. Who doesn't love a throwback with modern twists?

We return to Hatchetfield, in a different time, but with some familiar faces. However they aren't the focus of this musical (not sure they know what should be but eh) rather the loss of sense to capitalistic desires to fill the emptiness we feel inside with a dash of Lovecraftian elder one's seeking the end of days.

An indie theatre production company doing a horror-comedy musical set in the tropes and character styling's of the body snatcher sub-genre, leads to a trilogy of genre bending musicals? Yes it does. We're starting our look at Starkid's Hatchetfield series with the one that started it all, The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals.

The Crow defined so much of the Goth subculture and their presentation to the wider world, we have a look at the movie, it's effect on pop culture and all of it's little hatchlings that came forward after this hit the public.

Okay so know we have the lasting horror icon of a small boy in a silly hat. No seriously this movie has effected things in ways we were both prepared and unprepared for. The tracking of understanding of certain biblical passages and misunderstanding/misattributions all trace back to here.

It's a classic, it's referenced everywhere, you know it but you don't. It's Casablanca. We start to look at film's that altered the pop culture landscape with one that both gets it's flowers but also doesn't. So let's look at THE classic and see what's going on and how it shaped us even now.

All right so the long awaited (?) continuation of the saga that started with Caesar and now comes to Noa. A film that divided fans in that is either a great evolution of what was started before or a complete betrayal. But where do we land? Listen and find out.

We made it to the end of the trilogy no one expected to succeed but did and captured the hearts and minds of many but can it end on a good note? How does Matt Reeves intend on closing out a story people don't want to end? LIKE A FUCKING CHAMP IS HOW! It's another long one but we can't not talk about the meta textual readings and the characters while keeping it brief.

These movie titles get wordy so shall we. We got A LOT to say on the unexpected sequel movie, including a new criteria for directors going forward, new characters, and how on a metatextual analysis Caesar continues his journey through the Moses/King Arthur mythos as both character points and how society has added to the character archetype.
