We're back! Just in time to help you cope with Trump 2.0

This episode we review writer/director Parker Finn's follow up to his 2022 debut, SMILE 2.

Skye Riley: Well, have you gone to the police?

Morris: And say what? My brother's suicide was actually caused by some cosmic evil being that no one else can see? The police can't stop this thing anyway.

Skye: So I'm just supposed to wait until this thing kills me?

Morris: No, I want you to help me destroy it.

Skye: How?

Morris: From what I can tell, the chain stops when an infected host dies in some other way outside of the being's control. My guess is that, just like other parasites, without a living host it has no way to survive. It's ceases to exist.

Skye: So it only stops if--if I die before it kills me?

Morris: Exactly. We need to kill you first.

Skye: What?!

This episode we get weird, like that's anything new, with the turn of the century Czechoslovakian dark comedy surrealist horror of LITTLE OTIK (aka Greedy Guts). Oh you've never heard of it? Good gooooooooood.

Neither had we to be honest. Credit goes to the current lord of our Patreon, King Hans! He always gives us the wildest recommendations, and we love him for it, as we do all our supporters and Patreon members.

"Show me your Otik. That's his name, isn't it? Don't worry, I won't eat him. He's our child and we have to stick by him through thick and thin." It's The Who Goes There Podcast Episode 426!

French Writer/Director Coralie Fargeat made her feature film debut with 2017's REVENGE, a visceral, vibrant, and often lyrical rape/revenge thriller. The film leaned hard into tropes usually reserved for more action oriented films featuring an initially victimized protagonist transforming into a lethal retributive anti-hero. Fargeat herself said she was directly influenced by films like Mad Max, Rambo, and Kill Bill.

Revenge was a favorite of ours on the show in it's year of release, and one of the more notable genre feature film debuts in a decade full of them. She was also praised as one of the more exciting voices in contemporary feminist cinema, along with her contemporary Julia Ducournau (Raw, Titane), also hailing from France, as they both brought a woman's perspective and a contemporary lens to Cronenbergian body horror and psychosexual tension. Needless to say, we were optimistic and curious about what Fargeat would do next.

"One single injection unlocks your DNA, starting a new cellular division, that will release another version of yourself. This is THE SUBSTANCE. Everything comes from you. Everything is you. This is simply a better version of yourself. You just have to share. One week for one and one week for the other. A perfect balance of seven days each. The one and only thing not to forget: YOU. ARE. ONE. You can't escape from yourself."

There are surprises every year in the world of cinema, you never quite know what's going to pan out and end up delivering the goods. A lot of things that sound good on paper end up being poor in execution, and vice versa.

There's always the approach of relying on a filmmakers track record and having a reasonable amount of confidence in their next project, but even then there are disappointments and (usually) inevitable decline.

There's the "brand loyalty" idea, where you stick with a franchise even though it starts SUCKING ASS, and in recent years no shortage of legacy sequels.

Every year also brings it's share of unintentionally hilarious cinematic disasters. This year alone has brought us Megacockulus, Madame Web, Joker: Folie a Deux, Borderlands, Argylle, Tarot, Rebel Moon- Part Two, Imaginary, Night Swim, and The Exorcism, among others (add Kraven The Hunter to that list).

Then, there's these films you barely hear shit about (or nothing about) until their release is imminent which pull a complete sneak attack and surprise the fuck out of you.

The time has come. The three of us are all big fans of the Alien franchise and director/writer Fede Alvarez has arrived with buddy and co-writer Rodo Sayagues to give their take.

As the first film in the long running Alien series to be produced by 20th Century Studios following it's acquisition by Disney, Alien: Romulus successfully resuscitated the franchise, grossing over $350 million worldwide. But at what cost?

Will the film's gorgeous production design, modern horror tropes, and nostalgic nods to the greatest hits of the franchise be enough? Or is what some identify as an over-reliance on fan service, imitation, incoherent plotting, and contrivances, ultimately a deal breaker? What did we think? You're about to find out.

"Z-01 contains the genome responsible for the Xeno's ability to accelerate and slow down its metabolism at will. Its symbiotic capableness easily rewrites the host's DNA through its blood. This is a much needed and well overdue upgrade for humanity. We simply cannot wait for evolution anymore." It's the Who Goes There Podcast Episode 423!

It's a trap! No really, it is. The one, the only, M. Night Shamalamalama returns with this high concept thriller starring Josh Hartnett as a serial killer taking his daughter to see a pop star portrayed by the writer/director's daughter.

Review begins right around 45:25. We love you. Another new ep in a few days, next up is Alien: Romulus.

"You know the Butcher? That freakin' nutjob that goes around just chopping people up? Well, the feds or whatever heard that he's gonna be here today, so they set up a trap for him. This whole concert? It's a trap. They're watching all the exits, checking everyone that leaves. There's no way to get out of here. It's kinda dope, right?"

Welcome back! The time has come for us to discuss the much anticipated serial killer flick, LONGLEGS.

Preceded by months of cryptic and highly effective viral marketing, it's a big swing from indie film distributor NEON and boasts a strong genre pedigree in writer/director Osgood Perkins, and stars Nicolas Cage and Maika Monroe. What did we think? Listen and find out. Also a bunch of other stuff discussed in the first half as usual.

Review starts at 45:25  

"The seventh she to be given the same choice they've all been given. Crimson, or clover. Accept the gift and destroy, destroy yourself and yourselves. Or keep it. And bow down. Bow all the way down. And get right down to the dirty, dirty work. Work that gets dirty as it cleans. Like a mop. Like a rag." It's the Who Goes There Podcast Episode 421!

For this ep, we have a double feature review of A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE and MAXXXINE. Two third-parters in two trilogies, but only one of the two is a prequel, whereas in the other trilogy the prequel was the first sequel. A hunk of excellent content. Figure that shit out.

"Do you want a bit of free advice? Look around you. You've made it to the belly of the beast, congratulations, very few come this far. To stay here, you must make it your obsession. Eliminate all other distractions, because if you take your eye off that prize for even a moment, the beast will spit you right back out where you came from."

We have missed you. Got a bunch coming your way in the next couple weeks. This episode we get into the buzzy indie "ambient slasher", In A Violent Nature. The movie has provoked a lot of discussion and mixed reactions within the horror community, but what did we think?

"They never found his body, but they say his spirit lives in the forest. This forest. A maniac, a thing no longer human. Every year he kills. Right now he's out there. Watching. Waiting. So don't look; he'll see you. Don't breathe; he'll hear you. Don't move; you're dead!"
