Join us as we continue our horror movie-themed October!  This week we sink our teeth  into a  gritty and realistic vampire film written and directed by George Romero, who is much better known for his zombie flicks.
The group also discusses hypothetical vampire situations, movie monsters, and a weird show about people looking for love while completely naked.  
You can count on us to provide you with biting conversation , deadly wit and terrible vampire puns; we stake our reputations on it!

You have to see it to believe it.  You can't make this stuff up.  You had to be there.  What in the actual heck did I just watch?  These are the phrases that come to mind after watching the 1981 psychological/horror/drama Possession.  In this episode we do our best trying to describe this... experience.  Demonic possession and doppelgängers are also discussed as well as modern music, remastered movies and we get an inside look at why Karl acquires movies.

How’s it going?  A question people get asked every day but why and what do we mean by it?  This week we prepare our palates for a discussion on that and more with our viewing of The Menu, an interesting black comedy that was a refreshing change of pace from the usual fare.  We also delve into movies that subvert expectations, discuss fine dining and maybe a little bit of cannibalism.

What is Postmodernism?  Can noise have a color?  If you fall asleep in a room with an electric fan, will you die?  Might Electric Fan Death be a good name for a band?  Are some books better off not being adapted to film?    Might this be one of those times?  The answers to all these questions and more await you in this episode where we struggle through the 2022 movie adaptation of the book White Noise.
