Brain organoids are the future. These little guys can grow from a dead composer's stem cells and make their own music, connect to computer parts and control 3D environments, and model brain diseases once thought incurable. Maybe we can even grow our own organoid? Letterboxd: scattershotpod What's got you fired up this week? Let us know at scattershotpod@gmail.com

Three upcoming movies to look forward to, and four on the BULLET POINTS chopping block: The History of Sound (2025), The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025), The Long Walk (2025), and Our Father, the Devil (2023).

Slander for the cosmic football horror HIM (2025) is out-of-control. Did we watch the same movie? A couple of horror quizes in the last half of the episode, just to see if I'm really the horror maestro I think I am.

I celebrated this year's Pride by forgetting about it entirely. To my queer listeners, my ace people, forgive me. I, too, am late and gay. Don't let Slow (2023) get you down.

After four viewings of the Silent Hill (2006) adaptation, I think I know why it's SO FUCKING BAD. Sure, it's one of the better video game adaptations, but in 2006 that meant nothing. As an added bonus, me and Misha recorded a playthrough of Bloober Team's Silent Hill 2 (2025) remake. Take a walk through these two nightmares with us!

After a tumultuous trip to Washington DC to see family, I'm back with a reaction and review for Czechoslovakia's landmark sci-fi epic IKARIE XB-1 (1963). What waits the crew of Ikarie XB-1 on their 15-year voyage to find alien life? Are the readings accurate, the speculations true, that the star system Alpha Centauri may harbor a Goldilocks Zone like our Milky Way, that a civilization like ours mi...
