We tackle a listener submitted film and question this week: why the hype for these filmmakers? We do our best to answer that question as we delve into “The Endless,” from the directing team of Benson and Moorhead, starring Benson and Moorhead. This "Lovecraftian" tale picks up where the duo’s first film left off and carries on with maybe more explanation than Ryan and Tim wanted. Eerie, creepy, and sometimes thought provoking, the guys had a hard time pinpointing the acclaim garnered from the horror community, but do what they can to mine the elements that did work, in the end earning this one a double “stream.”
