Mike Flanagan released his new Carrie adaptation and the trailer for his Exorcist sequel last week. This gave me a good reason to revisit his first big film, Oculus! Angela joins me to talk about this movie that features Karen Gillan, an evil mirror, and a yacht anchor of doom!

Did Curse of Chucky make the franchise scary again?Casey and Ian M. join me to review the 2013 Child’s Play sequel and ask whether this installment restored the tension fans felt was missing from the previous movies. We break down Don Mancini’s return-to-horror approach, the isolated house setting, Nica Pierce, and whether Chucky actually feels dangerous again.

Social media was praising Troy all summer in a failed attempt to sabotage The Odyssey's box office. I am old enough to remember this being a huge let down. Turns out Ian M. has always genuinely liked this movie. So we both have revisited this divisive epic to find out if it's actually good or not.

I found another lost episode featuring Pedro! This is our missing Meteor Man review from all the way back in 2022! Meteor Man tried to do a lot and featured a bunch of talented Black actors and musicians. For whatever reason it didn't stick the landing back in the day but looking back it was actually ahead of its time. Watch and find out why!

Adam from  @AdamDoesMovies  joins me to talk about the late Chuck Russell's Eraser starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. It is sometimes a dark tense thriller full of mystery and betrayal and sometimes it's a wacky action movie with xray guns that shoot CGI rods. It is also considered the end of the Arnold's golden era and his last good movie in the '90s.

Johanna and Ian S. stop by the store to review Seed of Chucky (2004) - the wildest, weirdest, and most divisive movie in the Child's Play franchise! We discuss whether this horror-comedy is actually underrated, a perfect Pride Month watch thanks to its bold themes, or the movie that started the franchise's downward spiral.

Dragonheart (1996) was one of the first films to feature a fully CGI character acting alongside real humans. Voiced by Sean Connery and brought to life by ILM, Draco was a groundbreaking creation.
