Let The Right Films In

Frequent guest and combination teacher/poet/Stephen King fan Lauren Milici (@motelsiren) joins Kayla and Tyler as they return to discuss a 2017 Stephen King adaptation, but not the Netflix one, the Idris Elba one, the Spike TV one, or the other Netflix one.

Topics include: when we first found King, what's the deal with Mike, finding a common ground of "Bill Skarsgard is sexy, but I don't want to have sex with the murder clown," and how this sure is a horror movie no matter what dudes online say.

This is the Muschietti interview referenced at the top: http://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3458110/muschietti-talks-paintings-inspired-nightmarish-new-creature/

In this episode, one that's been held in reserve, Kyle and Tyler discuss the conundrum that is movies on Netflix and their tendency to quickly fade from cultural memory. The two then discuss one such entry, Charlie McDowell's The Discovery - a Netflix movie that probably deserved to disappear quickly, despite a promising cast and premise.

Ben Rettinhouse joins the podcast to regale a quickly deteriorating Tyler on the actual plot of The Mummy (05:05). Then the two are quickly pulverized by a terrible collision of cinematic universes (20:49). Tyler went as he lived: still mad at Colin Trevorrow.

As is tradition, Let The Right Films In is sending off the year by bringing on as many past guests and current friends as possible. The tremendous response to our invitation was very humbling, and we now have to split the podcast into multiple parts for easier consumption.

Part 3 is the final entry, as we put a cap on 2016 with its best movie, its most fearsome monster, and its snarkiest star. We spoil very little in this episode, even less than in previous episodes. We want you to watch the movies for yourself, after all.

With a new Star War bursting into theaters everywhere, Kayla and Tyler discuss last year’s return to lands, characters, and familiar planet-sized apocalypse spheres far, far away.

Now sitting at #178, The Force Awakens was an unabashed financial and critical success. Your hosts discuss what made it so magical (BB8), how the new characters outshone the old ones (BB8), and what we can’t wait to see in Rian Johnson’s Episode (BB)8. Kayla also gushes about her favorite director (not BB8, yet) and her favorite droid (BB8).

Before that, Kayla regales us with her thoughts and feelings in her rewatch of the Harry Potter series, and Tyler stumps for two movies that haven’t gotten their due despite the presence of great soundtracks, a young Oscar nominees, and an adorable dog.

Also, Moonlight saves us from the Corner That Shall Not Be Named.
