#MonsterCast continues along as Jeremy & Sara break down the new film Apartment 7A, a prequel to the 1976 classic #RosemarysBaby.

Terry Gionoffrio dreams of fame and fortune in New York City, but after suffering an injury, an older, wealthy couple welcomes her into their home in The Bramford Building. When she receives an offer at another chance at fame, it seems that all her dreams are coming true. However, disturbing circumstances soon have her second-guessing the sacrifices she's willing to make for her career as she realizes that something evil is living not only in Apartment 7A, but in the Bramford itself.

APARTMENT 7A is available NOW on Paramount+.

MonsterCast roles on with our first spotlight for 2024: the 2012 ghost story The Woman In Black.

Arthur Kipps is recently widowed and grieving the loss of his wife when he is sent to a remote village to put a deceased eccentric's affairs in order. Soon after his arrival, it becomes clear that the villagers are hiding a terrible secret. Kipps discovers that his late client's house is haunted by the spirit of a woman who is trying to find someone and something she lost, and that no one -- not even the children -- is safe from her terrible wrath.

Jeremy and Sara talk the origins of this tale, the stellar performances and why this film holds up so well some 13 years later compared to more effects-filled modern fare.

THE WOMAN IN BLACK is available NOW on Paramount+.

Brandon welcome Emmett Stanton back to the podcast to take a look at one of the most successful comedies of the 1980s. 9 to 5 placed a comedic spotlight on the plight of working women in America. The film, directed by Colin Higgins, segues from satire to full out farce. Brandon and Emmett discuss the powerhouse trio of Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton (in her film debut). They also pay tribute to the late, great Dabney Coleman whose portrayal of Mr. Hart walks the line between villain and sympathetic scoundrel.
