The Critical Breakdown: A Film Podcast

Guys, we made an error. The Babadook wasn't ACTUALLY Max's pick for this week, but we still watched it. We're embracing this — find out the truth in this week's kind of special episode!

This week, we're joined by our INSIDE GAL Kara Leonard to talk HALLOWEEN (2018). Yeah, Halloween was last week really, but we're doing the film of the same name THIS week. So enjoy!

Max's 97% pick — GHOSTBUSTERS. It's a classic, and it's perfect pick for a comedic approach to horror (hey, it's Halloween, right?). But don't worry — we'll get scarier in an upcoming episode.

Scott's selection for this week was 2015's SPOTLIGHT, the film about the Boston Globe breaking open the Catholic church covering up abusive priests. 

It's a heavy subject, so you'll get most of your chuckles in before the 20 minute mark.

This week, Max picked THE IRON GIANT (1999) as his 96% selection! This animated film is beloved by many, but didn't do that well in theaters. This Brad Bird film actually has some ties with another Bird film we watched — Tomorrowland, but we liked this a lot better.
