Ep. 434 – The Curse of La Llorona (2019)

LaLlorona_poster

Episode 434: The Crew’s confused on what counts as being part of “the Conjuring universe” while watching Michael Chaves’ The Curse of La Llorona. The Warrens are completely absent, but the Annabelle doll and the priest from the first Annabelle film are present… so it counts here. And the franchise should welcome this film, it’s a fast paced ghost/monster movie with some great acting. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 433 – The Nun (2018)

Episode 433: The Crew’s hanging with nuns (out a window at the end of a noose) while watching Corin Hardy’s The Nun. This installment in The Conjuring franchise ditches the American haunted house in favor of a creepy gothic church. It’s a welcomed change that adds new visuals and characters. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 432 – Annabelle: Creation (2017)

Episode 432: The Crew’s giving demons permission to move into their dolls… for a second time, while watching David Sandberg’s Annabelle: Creation. This film is a prequel to a prequel that was a spinoff to the first Conjuring film. What could have been a soulless cash grab is invigorated by Sandberg’s fresh jump scares and energetic direction. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 431 – The Conjuring 2 (2016)

Conjuring2_poster

Episode 431: The Crew’s trying to figure out what the deal is with the Crooked Man (is it another demon, the same demon as the nun, a spirit, or an urban legend come to life) while watching James Wan’s The Conjuring 2. This is the second Warren film, and while none of the scares are as good as the clap game, the script and story are huge improvements over the first film. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 430 – Annabelle (2014)

Annabelle_poster

Episode 430: The Crew’s buying creepy collectible dolls while watching John Leonetti’s Annabelle. This prequel/spin-off of the first Conjuring film is a massive downgrade. Some of the jump scares and set pieces work well (especially the elevator scene), but the acting and direction leave a lot to be desired. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 429 – The Conjuring (2013)

Conjuring_poster

Episode 429: The Crew’s playing the clap game while watching James Wan’s The Conjuring. This box office hit spawned a massive franchise, and as of today, is the highest grossing horror franchise. James Wan’s a master of setup and geography, building some effective suspenseful moments climaxing with a jumpscare. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 428 – Point Break (1991)

PointBreak_poster

Episode 428: The Crew’s eating 2 meatball subs while watching Kathryn Bigelow’s Point Break. This 90’s action classic is surprisingly light on the action, and more interested in the vibes and culture of surfing… which is probably what makes the film work. Patrick Swayze, Gary Busey, and Lori Petty are perfectly cast. And the closeups of the actors during the skydiving sequence are still unmatched today. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 427 – The Night of the Hunter (1955)

NightOfHunter_poster

Episode 427: The Crew’s giving the LOVE hand to Charles Laughton’s The Night of the Hunter. This hugely influential film is the only time Charles Laughton got behind the camera. It’s often categorized as a horror film or a film noir, but it’s more in line with a dark kids fantasy (think Labyrinth, replacing muppets with an evil preacher). The Crew discusses…

Ep. 426 – Annie Hall (1977)

Episode 426: The Crew’s wondering how many fourth wall breaks are too many while watching Woody Allen’s Annie Hall. This 70’s Best Picture winner has so many iconic images, costumes, and jokes. Diane Keaton delivers a funny and charming performance that’s so modern for its time. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 425 – Materialists (2025)

Materialists_poster

Episode 424: The Crew thinks Pedro Pascal is the clear choice in a love triangle while watching Celine Song’s Materialists. Song’s second feature as writer and director is just as layered, funny, heartbreaking, and joyous as her first film, Past Lives. She’s able to weave all these emotions in a unique way that invites comparisons to James L Brooks and Woody Allen; her voice is that strong. The Crew discusses…
