Trigger Warnings: attempted sexual assault, jump scares, violence, gore, racial violence, depictions of white supremacy groups, explosions

The First Purge is about as subtle as a brick to the face and it's about as affective too. This movie finally realizes the ideas that previous iterations of The Purge have been circling around and it only took the Trump presidency to make it happen.

The government has legalized all crime in Staten Island for one night and they're ready for the people to hit the streets and get their murder on. But when things don't go as expected, will the government have to take their medicine or will they conspire to directly cause the mass murder of black and brown people in the projects via organized hit squads? I mean, it's not like the government ever ran up in people's homes and started shooting before, right?

You wanna make an omelet, you gotta murder a few men.

• Director: Bree Newsome
• Writer: Bree Newsome
• Stars: Sahr Ali, Christina Falson, Benton Greene
• IMDB says: 'Everybody knows if you're fixin' to GOSSIP, you gotta have a little dirt on somebody. And everybody knows if you're fixin' to BURY, you gotta throw a little dirt on somebody. But don't everybody know that if you're fixin' to CONJURE, it's best to take a little dirt from a body...' So begins this Southern Gothic tale of 'root-work', self-righteousness and comeuppance.

Today, I have the extraordinary honor to be joined by O.B. De Alessi to talk about their film “Mudmonster”.   It was already awarded Best International Short Film Director and Best Lovecraft Inspired Film at A Night Of Horror International Film Festival in Sydney, Australia, but this is Mudmonsters US debut and it’s nominated for best director and best cinematography. It’ll be showing the 25th and the 27th and is available to stream online through the film festival anytime between February 25th and March 3rd.

And to our listeners, I can’t recommend enough checking out Mudmonster from the Nevermore Film Festival and finding out more about O.B.’s work on their website at https://obdealessi.com/
