Eli watched The Silencing (2020) on Netflix, The Commuter (2018) on Netflix, Talk To Me (2023) on VOD, and the brand new Leave the World Behind (2023) on Netflix.

In honor of the passing of Ryan O'Neal Nathan caught up with The Driver (1978) on DVD, and watched the latest in the "Monk-averse", Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie, on Prime Video. Nathan plugs his EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE holiday horror/comedy "Scary Little Fuckers: A Christmas Movie" available to watch for free on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue_Nh0yiD2k&t=3s - A perfect tie in the film we're discussing in a couple week, Gremlins.
