We’re diving into Weapons (2025), the new horror thriller from Barbarian director Zach Cregger. When seventeen kids mysteriously vanish at 2:17 a.m., a small town unravels — and so do we trying to piece together this chilling mystery.

In this HalloweenFest episode, we break down what Weapons gets right (and wrong), talk about the performances from Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, and Alden Ehrenreich, and ask the big question: does it live up to the Barbarian hype?

Expect spicy sibling squabbles, confused metaphors, and at least one attempt to summon a demon using a lightstick.

In this episode, we revisit The Hit (1984), a meditative crime film that gave Terence Stamp one of his most hauntingly restrained performances. As news of Stamp’s passing at age 87 reverberates through the film world, we reflect on his legacy—from the rebellious charm of Billy Budd to the icy menace of General Zod, and the quiet dignity he brought to The Hit.

We unpack the film’s existential undertones, Stephen Frears’ direction, and Stamp’s ability to command the screen with silence and soul. It’s part review, part tribute—an ode to an actor who never chased the spotlight, but always earned it.
