Show notes

Danny Boyle's 2002 film 28 Days Later exploded the zombie film into the millieumnum - by turning the slow, shambling undead into sprinting, blood spraying infected with rage. Cillian Murphy and Naomie Harris are electric. This films is incredible and well deserving of our 100th episode.

The Thing "Chariots of the gods." Apr 29, 2019

Show notes

John Carpenter's remake of Howard Hawks' 1951 film The Thing From Another World didn't do well initially on release, but now is thought of as an absolute sci-fi/horror classic. With a solid cast and some of the best horror special effects ever put on screen (yass Rob Bottin) this film is stupendous from start to finish.

Alien "Space Kitty" Apr 15, 2019

Show notes

Ridley Scott's 1979 is considered a classic for a reason - the camerawork and design is awe inspiring, the special effects still look incredible, and the acting is top notch. A perfect blend of science fiction and horror that plays just as well today as it did 40 years ago.
