What do Edgar Wright, Glen Powell, Stephen King, and Arnold Schwarzenegger have in common? A remake, of course! And this one sounds pretty good. We also talk about Mila Jovovich’s next zombie movie. It is not another Resident Evil movie, but is the end of a looooong running franchise.

Strange Darling received rave reviews upon it’s release. While it didn’t make the same box office impression of some other indie horror films released this year, those who had a chance to see it were impressed.Naturally, we talk about the awesomeness of Kyle Gallner, but how did the rest of the cast do? Was the non linear style necessary? And how well did it convey its themes?

The Substance has been wowing audiences since winning the Best Screenplay award at its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. A gross body horror with an odd sense of humor, the film is big and bold. Whether it is disgusting scenes, flagrant nudity, or in your face messaging, the film is relentless.

We talk about feminist messaging, when gratuitous nudity is actually necessary, and how to effectively cram a message down the audience’s throat. Does this movie really check off all the boxes for Blake or was he just set up for a major disappointment? Is this truly Demi Moore's best performances?
