This second film takes place near our old stomping grounds of Boston, a features a story and performances where you might need to take a walk afterwords to digest and decompress. Manchester by the Sea (2016), directed by Kenneth Lonergan.

This week, we start a new diversion with themed movie selections. The next three weeks, your hosts will be selecting one movie each that fits within the current theme - Death. The first film is an underrated and under seen movie that won big at the Sundance film festival back when it first came out. Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015), directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon.

This week, we watch the third entry in the film franchise that is 23 years old and introduced fast zombies to the world. This film has been in development since shortly after the second entry in 2007, and it might be the first movie where the edit was influenced by choices made by the trailer team. 28 Years Later (2025), directed by Danny Boyle.

This week, we continue the newer segment where we go back through the IMDB top 250 list since we froze it in 2016 and see what has been added. This film is currently sitting at number 66 on the IMDB list. 12th Fail (2023), directed by Vindu Vinod Chopra.

This week we watch the latest horror film from the Austrialian brothers Danny and Michael Philippou. While its not turning out to be the sensation that their previous film, Talk to Me was, the film is stil very well made, well acted, and very dark. Bring Her Back (2025).
