Dismembering Horror

Sh...shhhh….Shar…..SHARKS! Sharks AND Mandy Moore! Seriously what more could anyone ask for? Well, we answer that exact question in this week’s episode as we dive into one of about 8 billion shark movies out there: 47 Meters Down. With so much chum in the water, it’s real feeding frenzy as Ryan and Tim take a bite out of this one.

Where we watched: Netflix

RATS! This week we got super weird with Willard, the 2003 remake of the kinda-classic 1971 film by the same name. We take some interesting deep dives into the personal differences between Tim and Ryan and how they relate to a guy like good ol’ Willard.

Where we watched: DVD

The nostalgia train is real, and we got on board with Asylum, an early 70’s British Horror Anthology, and boy does it deliver. This film has it all in true campy horror fashion. Ryan and Tim diverge in their view of sanity but nothing brings them back together like some good ‘ol re-animation.

How we watched: Fandor

We legit dismember Insidious: The Last Key in this week’s episode. Buckle up and don’t straight murder a defenseless man with a bureau. Ryan is able to find merit while Tim narrowly escapes a “further-esque” neverending rant.

Vampires don’t sparkle! At least not in this week’s film The Transfiguration, written and directed by Michael O’Shea. This dark, slow burn really gets the gears turning for both Tim and Ryan as they explore what it means to truly be a vampire.

This week we cover The Babysitter, a gem of a film by none other than famed director McG! (Not sure if his name has a requisite exclamation but it seems appropriate...) Tim loses his mind over “cobweb continuity” and Ryan tries to steer the ship in our first episode EVER!
