Ep. 399 - "Unsane" is iPhone horror that doesn't feel phony
March 26, 2018 14:34 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MBProlific filmmaker Stephen Soderbergh made a deliberate artistic choice to make his first horror film "Unsane" on an iPhone 7 plus, and the whole thing is even scarier because of that. But the story itself is a timely and disturbingly plausible one. Follow @cinemandrew on IG for more movie stuff / physical media nerdery.

March 21, 2018 16:46 - 23 minutes - 21.7 MB"A Wrinkle In Time" and "Tomb Raider" have something specific in common that made me cry, and "Annihilation" shares some of it as well. I didn't cry during that one, though, but it did make me really happy. Follow me and stuff on IG @cinemandrew

March 19, 2018 18:48 - 21 minutes - 19.6 MBRecorded on Friday 3/9/18 after I left a 10pm showing of "Thoroughbreds." It was awesome, only 4 people were there, and I ranted about why so I could stay awake on the drive home. Enjoy responsibly.
Ep. 396 - Cultcore: "Abby" (1974)

January 31, 2018 20:13 - 1 hour - 61.3 MBBetween "Kentucky Fried Movie" and the "Scary Movie" franchise is "Amazon Women on the Moon," a kitchen sink comedy from Universal Studios that lampooned pop culture and classic b-movies all together.

January 23, 2018 16:01 - 24 minutes - 22.5 MBIs "Get Out" still a horror movie because it got so many nominations? Is "Shape of Water" a drama with a monster because it got 13?
