MacGuffin Podcast

Back from a long hiatus, we catch up with the much-publicized MCU flop, The Marvels, and David Fincher's Netflix thriller, The Killer. Both hosts talk about what they've been up to while away from their microphones, and for the streaming homework, we discuss the 1947 noir, Out of the Past, starring Robert Michum and Kirk Douglass.  Also, the sound is a bit weird here as some locations were hastily changed. Will sound much better going forward.

For this week's podcast, we review Martin Scorsese's anticipated crime/western epic, Killers of the Flower Moon. We also recommend horror titles based on common favorites from the genre. And from Shudder, we discuss the low-budget Japanese zombie flick, One Cut of the Dead.
