It's AV night for the Whole Damn Family. First, it's old-school videotapes as we adjust the tracking on this underrated classic. We say underrated because its Rotten Tomatoes score is crap, and we cannot figure out why. With heavy hitters like Gore Verbinski, Naomi Watts, and makeup FX by Legend Rick Baker, it's (2002) The Ring, which of course is a remake of a J-Horror classic Ringu. We break down a lot of this movie and even talk about Ringu's original inspiration beyond just the novel by Koji Suzuki . Our newer match-up for this video selection is audio only, with Undertone (2026), the new low-budget film released by A24. We get deep into the backward masking and find the hidden messages of this new film directed by newcomer Ian Tuason and starring Nina Kiri from The Handmaid's Tale.
