You Had Me At Skip It

Nicole joins us for a post-halloween special packed with 80s grit and midnight chills! We’re diving into Angel (1984), where a high school student leads a double life on the streets of Hollywood  and Jack’s Back (1988), a thriller that brings Jack the Ripper into the modern age.

This week we’re diving into two eerie explorations of cinematic horror: Dario Argento’s Deep Red (1975) and Peter Strickland’s Berberian Sound Studio (2012).

This week, we explore Chinatown (1974) and Key Largo (1948), breaking down their masterful writing, striking cinematography, and lasting impact on the genre. Plus, hear our non-spoiler takes on what makes these films essential viewing.

After a short break, we’re back and ready to close out the summer movie season in style!
