It’s Matt’s turn to open a case, and he chooses the 1985 made-for-tv thriller Fortress. It’s Lord of the Flies meets Home Alone in the Land Down Under. Join us for a lively discussion on classroom abductions, Halloween masks, The Curse, how caves actually make terrible fortresses and all the sociopathic children listening to Beowulf you can handle.

This week, the clamshell crew unanimously picked the infamous Howard the Duck as their inaugural file. Join them for a conversation that hits all of the important topics: typical Marvel junk science, Tim Robbins, Cleve...land (?), and of course, the intricacies of duck anatomy.

Next up: Fortress, the 1985 made-for-Australian-TV drama about a group of rural school forced to fight for their lives after being abducted from their classroom.

Welcome to the first episode of Clamshell Case Files. Each week, one of our hosts picks a movie, we crack open a cold clamshell case and take a look back at the movies that influenced and (probably) traumatized us. This week, we introduce ourselves and give a brief overview of of the show. Oh, and we announce the first movie we’ll be talking about, the 1986 Marvel cinematic...thing - Howard the Duck!
