In this episode of Mostly Sightless Movies, I begin my journey through the filmography of John Carpenter by watching his debut feature film, 1974's Dark Star! Why is future Earth so obsessed with colonizing other solar systems? Why did they program the robots to be so sassy?And why does every student film include a 20-minute philosophical discussion about the nature of existence? These questions...are not answered. But I at least have some fun watching this possibly unintentionally dark and depressing sci-fi movie! I promise I'll start watching movies from other decades soon.
In the very second episode of Mostly Sightless Movies, I discuss two movies from horror franchises I've never watched: 1976's The Omen and 1979's Phantasm. One is a classic, the other a cult classic. Why did an exorcist not help defeat the son of the devil? What exactly are the Tall Man's motivations? And why is Gregory Peck's voice so magnificent? These questions...are not answered. But I did have a lot of fun watching and talking about these horror films!
Hello and welcome to the very first episode of Mostly Sightless Movies! This episode is a brief introduction where I talk a bit about myself and why I decided to start a movie review podcast.
