S4 Ep 156: Released in 2003 and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Bong Joon-ho, Memories of Murder is a gripping crime thriller inspired by the real-life Hwaseong serial murders that terrorized South Korea during the late 1980s. Set in a quiet rural town, the film follows two local detectives and a seasoned investigator from Seoul as they struggle to identify a brutal serial killer with little forensic evidence and mounting public pressure.

Blending suspense, dark humor, and emotional drama, Memories of Murder explores not only the mystery itself, but also the failures of the justice system and the toll the investigation takes on everyone involved. Widely regarded as one of the greatest crime films ever made, it remains a haunting examination of obsession, uncertainty, and the devastating impact of unsolved violence.

S3 Ep 152: The first two new subscribers on Patreon get a copy of The Running Man or Ace Ventura. The second annual MMT unboxing went about as well as I expected. I can't wait to watch all of these movies and tell you which ones are worth a goddamn.

S3 Ep 151: Does the killer have a horse head or a horse mask? I honestly couldn't decide. I have to remember to fight the urge to watch a cursed VHS tape, if I ever come across such a thing.

S3 Ep 149: I was expecting Donna to have a "heroes journey," storyline. Famously, Stephen King does not remember writing Cujo... because of drugs and drinking and stuff. Pretty wild.

M. W. Daniels pulls off a fantastic psychological thriller on a budget of 12,000 euros (around $14,000). The acting and atmosphere sucked me in and the twist spit me out.
