It's episode 303, and I can make your parents eat each other if I want to. Do I want to, Alex?
Weapons (2025) depicts a sprawling narrative in the town of Maybrook, where 17 children have mysteriously disappeared after running out of their houses in the dead of night. With no-one sure who to blame, suspicion falls upon the children's teacher Justine, but is the town at risk of a witch hunt? What's really going on? And what's with that weird orange-haired old lady that keeps popping up around the gaff?
We discuss Chris' favourite horror film in years, praise how it adeptly walks the tightrope between the trauma-zone and hilarious fun, ask if there's a difference between 'elevated horror' and just 'good horror', and wonder whether Amy Madigan was the recipient of the first pre-humous Oscar. Plus - should Justine get an electric car, should Alex be feeding his parents Huel, and should a school principal follow the stranger danger rule?
Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: Those kids walked out of those homes, no one pulled them out. No one forced them.
Next time, on the Patreon - dunno! What do YOU think we should cover?
