This week we pay tribute to an actor that means so much to both of us, Tim Curry, and his performance as Darkeness in Ridley Scott’s “Legend”. We reflect on how much he meant to us across roles like Rocky Horror, Clue, Pennywise, and extensive voice work, including how his stroke affected his career and…

This week, we dive into 2018’s Stree, a hugely popular Indian horror-comedy inspired by the “Nalay Ba / Come Tomorrow” urban legend, and one of the first mainstream Bollywood hits to lean into folklore rather than cheesy haunted-house or revenge-ghost formula.

We talk Renny Harlin, writer’s-strike, collaborative production, how the film cemented Freddy’s mainstream, quippier icon status,…

Very positive feelings about Hell High, a seemingly-forgotten little gem from 1989. Sure, it’s a bit dumb, even laughably bad at times, but all the other bits fall into place – the cinematography, the score, the acting – to the point where…ya know what? We don’t even care. We talk about its odd production history…
