What do Chef, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, and Final Destination all have in common? According to us... they’re comfort films — yes, even the one with all the outrageous death traps. In this episode, we kick things off by diving into what makes a film comforting: is it the cozy vibes, the familiar structure, or just knowing we’re not the ones being haunted or hunted?Danny shares his feel-good favorites (Chef and Walter Mitty), while Gabe takes a sharp left turn into horror, leading us to a wild but strangely satisfying conclusion: all horror films are comfort films — for the survivors on the couch.Then, we shift gears and explore the new Netflix series The Four Seasons, a modern reimagining of the Alan Alda classic. We break down how the show updates the themes of marriage, midlife reinvention, and group dynamics for a 2025 audience. What happens when friendships outlast marriages, or when one new partner changes the balance of everything?From cozy cuisine to chaotic carnage to complex relationships — this episode has it all. Pull up a chair, pour some wine (or blood-red punch), and settle in with PopCultX.
