Ever shared a beer in a church? We kick off this episode with some fun memories of sipping craft beers in unique settings, like a brewery housed in a church, and compare it to other quirky establishments we've visited. We then share our excitement over our spiffy new podcast logo and the cool branded merchandise we received. As we enjoy our drinks, we chat about our beer preferences, giving special attention to brands we love—and those we don't, like Dogfish Head. We also dive into our thoughts on "Late Night with the Devil," a film that intrigued us despite its controversial AI-generated scenes.
What happens when AI hitchhikes into horror? Join us as we unpack our mixed reactions to a controversial movie criticized for its scene transitions. Despite the drama, we found ourselves entertained by its plot twists and turns. We also gush about our excitement for upcoming horror flicks like "I Saw the TV Glow" and "Abigail." The main event is our nostalgic review of "Mama," the supernatural horror film from 2013. Remembering our college days when we first watched it, we explore how its impact has aged over a decade, spotlighting director Andy Muschietti's early work.
Who could forget the eerie performances in "Mama"? We dive deep into the film's cast, including Jessica Chastain and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, and discuss their standout roles in other films like "The Martian" and "Game of Thrones." We also shine a light on the young actresses Megan Charpentier and Isabelle Nélisse, who brought a chilling realism to their roles. From behind-the-scenes trivia to the fascinating inspirations for the ghostly character "Mama," this episode is packed with insights. Plus, stick around for some solid investment advice and a sneak peek at our next review: the hilariously bad "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey.

Captain and Wilson are back for their new season! To start off, they're testing out using AI to generate the description. What do we think of this generous creation?
Picture this: you're swirling a glass of that one wine you can't pronounce but tastes like a sunny Italian orchard; we've all been there, right? That's where our latest chat takes us, reminiscing about the surprising delights of a mango-infused vino and a quirky orange-kissed Pinot Grigio. We're not just clinking glasses in this episode though; it's a full-bodied blend of personal fruit grudges, snack favorites, and a toast to the start of a new season—a reflection on our journey from fledgling podcast to full-fledged cinephiles.
Once our glasses are set down, the spotlight turns to the silver screen. Shannon Sossamon and Edward Burns headline our film chat, as we bring a magnifying glass to their performances, including the highs, the lows, and the outright confusing. From the predestined fates of characters to the ghostly overtones, we navigate the labyrinth of plot points and tropes with the wit and irreverent humor you've come to expect. The critique doesn't end with the cast, as we also dissect the bewildering turns of a paranormal story that left us scratching our heads and questioning the logic behind the supernatural.
Finally, we address the elephant in the room—or rather, the ghost on the set. We uncover the messy behind-the-scenes drama that can haunt a film like a lingering spirit, including the impact of post-production changes and studio interference. And because we can't resist, we humorously dissect the plot of "One Missed Call," poking fun at the characters' hilariously poor decision-making. So, grab your popcorn—or your wineglass—and join us for a session of laughter, critiques, and everything in between.
