Marathon Anon #5 - Let's Summon Demons (October 2019)

It's Halloween season, and our October marathon this year was built around themes of dark magic, occult practices, and demon summoning... with an accidental sub-them of romantic liaisons with the undead. Light some candles, settle in with a witches brew, and Let's Summon Demons!

[Fantastic Fest] Border w/ Sara Jones

Our Fantastic Fest marathon is nearing its end, and this week we're back with the 2018 Swedish film Border, brought to us by our friend Sara Jones."A customs officer who can smell fear develops an unusual attraction to a strange traveler while aiding a police investigation which will call into question her entire existence."Best seen to be believed, you can find this gem streaming on Hulu and we highly recommend a watch before listening to our spoiler-heavy discussion.

[Fantastic Fest] The Untamed w/ Jesse Chick

Our next Fantastic Fest Marathon film is 2016's The Untamed (La Region Sauvage) from Amat Escalante, brought to us all the from Australia by our dear friend and fellow Fest volunteer Jesse Chick. 'A meteorite crashes onto an isolated mountain somewhere in Mexico. Meanwhile Alejandra and Angel are trying to salvage their unhappy marriage. When these two disparate elements collide, there’ll be consequences for all.' While this starts to unveil the inner workings of our characters and hints at the tinge of sci-fi sprinkled in, we have lots of thoughts about just what the hell is really going in this beautifully shot and superbly acted character study.
