Echo Chamber

#EFTV is back for that weekly rotation (most likely), and craziness continues to inhabit the world. Which is good, cause what else would we talk about lol     A death on a set clearly shows something unfortunate happened. But instead of acknowledging it and saying things have been upped, Alec Baldwin is scrambling to try and show that everything on 'Rust' was absolutely fine.   People complaining about freedoms should take note, cause Indian people who congratulated or celebrated Pakistan's victory in the ICC T20 World Cup are getting thrown in jail and maybe tortured!   Terry Gilliam's was due to co-produce a new production of 'Into the Woods' for the Old Vic in 2022. But some weak arse staff were unhappy with Gilliam having his own opinion on certain topics, so complained and got the show cancelled!    Instead of using a portrait of   Thomas Picton as a way to look at history and changes of attitude, they lock it away and pretend things never happened!!!    After Norway's Handball team were fined by the International Handball Federation (IHF) for refusing to wear bikini bottoms, many demanded changes but the IHF refused. Now though, in the latest rules update, a change has been made with no fanfare or apology, cause the IHF are a bunch of cowardly fukwits, who need to issue Norway with a refund cheque!!!

PLUS, we head over to Netflix for what has turned into a smash hit, 'Squid Game' written & directed by Hwang Dong-Hyuk. 456 down-and-outs take a shady offer to compete for ₩45.6 billion, which would clear their debuts!

AND, our 'Audible' book of the week, is the classic interstellar, feudal adventure that redefined sci-fi and most likely literature, forever! That's right people, we got into Frank Herbert's 'Dune'!

This Week:

- Alec Baldwin is desperately trying to claim that the set of his film 'Rust' was completely safe!?!

On @EchoChamberFP this week, we go on a search in Elrod and then hit you with some horror Shudder anthology fun.

Lauren Fash directs 'Disappearance at Lake Elrod' and co-writes with Susan Graham. A year after her daughter, Lily’s (Kinsley Isla Dillon) disappearance, another girl from Elrod, Georgia, Elodie (Cece Kelly), goes missing. Convinced there is a connection, Charlie (Robyn Lively) won’t stop searching until she discovers the truth.

'Horror Noire' is a follow-up to Shudder’s acclaimed 2019 documentary, Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror. Featuring new work from both established and emerging talents, this anthology will highlight six stories of Black horror and stream as a feature film on Shudder and AMC+.

'All Bad' (feat. Anderson Paak) by Nas - 2020

Today on @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ we take a look at two new Netflix features. One looks at relationships, and the other is a new entry in the vampire lore!

'#The Four of Us' is the new film from Florian Gottschick @florian_gottschick who co-wrote with Florian von Bornstädt @flovobo  Two befriended couples, Nils (Jonas Nay @jonas_nay) & Maria (Paula Kalenberg @paula.kalenberg) + Janina (Nilam Farooq @nilam.farooq) & Ben (Louis Nitsche @louisnitsche) have embarked on a four-week partner swap. The only rule was not to have sex. At the end, everyone meets again in a holiday home on the beach and realizes that their feelings have changed, they question relationship models and their expectations are reassessed. In the end, the question remains who loves whom and whether that is actually enough.

'Night Teeth' #NightTeeth is directed by Adam Randall @adamrandalll and written by #Brent Dillon To earn some extra cash, quirky college student Benny (Jorge Lendeborg, Jr. @jorgelendeborg) moonlights as a chauffeur for one night. His task: drive two mysterious young women (Debby Ryan @debbyryan and Lucy Fry @lucyfry) around Los Angeles for a night of party hopping. Taken captive by his clients' charm, he soon learns that his passengers have their own plans for him - and an insatiable thirst for blood. As his night spins out of control, Benny is thrust into the middle of a clandestine war that pits rival tribes of vampires against the protectors of the human world, led by his brother (Raúl Castillo @raulcastillo), who will stop at nothing to send them back into the shadows. With sunrise fast approaching, Benny is forced to choose between fear and temptation if he wants to stay alive and save the City of Angels.
