    Strange Darling Writer-Director J.T. Mollner on This Summer's Killer Thriller Aug 23, 2024

    Strange Darling hits theaters this weekend -- and it's a good one. The latest export from writer-filmmaker J.T. Mollner shuffles an athletic cat-and-mouse story between stars Willa Fitzgerald and Kyle Gallner that feels both in and out of time. It's gritty, it's unpredictable, and it's paralyzing, doling out the narrative like a descendent of Tarantino's style.

    But this isn't an homage; it's an extension on familiar forms. Today, Halloweenies co-host and executive producer Michael Roffman speaks with the maestro behind the madness to discuss his own filmmaking DNA and how he's been carving his own signature. They also shoot the shit on favorite Westerns and why that genre may be a prism for filmmaking.

    Rest assured, there are no spoilers ahead.

We go deep into this one, so if you haven't seen it yet and you get upset about being spoiled... you have our sympathies.

Together, they debate whether or not this is a remake, a requel, or a sequel before praising the depth of the story, the performances of Jane Levy and Lou Taylor Pucci, and all the practical effects that put today's horror to shame.

Together, they discuss the sequel's behind-the-scenes controversies, the metaphorical implications of Freddy Krueger, and the birthdays of both Clu Gulager and Hope Lange.
