This week, James and Jon are covering Talk to Me, written by Danny Philipou and Bill Hinzman, directed by Danny Philipou and Michael Philipou, and starring Sophie Wilde, Alexandra Jensen, Joe Bird, Otis Dhanji, Miranda Otto, Zoe Terakes, Chris Alosio, Marcus Johnson, and Alexandria Steffenson. Together, they cover the types of horror movies they're fans of, that this movie is not the 2007 Don Cheadle/Kasi Lemmons film of the same name, the degree to which it feels like an A24 movie despite being an A24 acquisition, just how (effectively) annoying the kid performances are, the film's depiction of possession as a social media phenomenon, scary hands, and more!
