The Bad Animal Movies That Aren't Jaws

Holy Hell that was a long release gap! But here it is, the next episoide I'd promised. If you remember that I'd promised it. And if you're still interested in what I'd promised, which was an episode about four different Jaws knockoff movies with killer animals. This it a fun one between myself and Michael Heffernan, who was a good sport about having to watch four movies of wildly varying quality.

The Company of Wolves

On today's episode, Rachel and I learn that it's bad to read before going to sleep because your imagination is trying to actively traumatize you with an army of not that scary good boy doggos who just wanna run through your house! I mean, it'll also give you horrific visions of gruesome, skin ripping werewolf transformations and smashed doll heads, but just think about all those doggos! The movie is The Company of Wolves, directed by Neil Jordan and written by Jordan and Anglea Carter, based on stories from Carter's book "The Bloody Chamber."

Flashback: Cathy's Curse

Taking the week off to enjoy Beyond Fest and to get ahead on edits, so here's a fun one from last year! This is the Bonus Round episode about Cathy's Curse with my good friend Jamie Gagnon.

You like movies? You like movies about making movies? You like movies about secret movies being made while people are making movies? Do you want to read the word movie just one more time in this description? What the actual hell are you talking about, Dan? I'm talking about Effects, my favorite of the year so far, one of my new all times faves, and a motion picture that my guest John Salvador also enjoyed very much. It's a funny, dark, surprising, and indie as heck. Hope y'all dig it!

Event Horizon

I gotta tell ya, this is the most a movie has ever been hyped for me where it's also matched the expectations set. It's spooky, it's bloody, it's shockingingly great for a Paul W. S. Anderson movie, and every performance was on point. Other than poking at the director, I have no bit for this episode, this movie kind of kicks that much ass. My good buddy Alex and I really enjoyed talking about it, and we also have a lot to say regarding the Audio Description and accessibility for both streaming and theatrical releses. Dig it!
