Previous Episode: Black Sunday/The Mask of Satan (1960)

Next Episode: Hereditary (2018)

This is not my average alone-in-the-dark episode. The idea was to debut season 2 by simulating those weird conversations you wanna eavesdrop at a dive bar after work between two old friends. So grab a beer, and pretend Lloyd's polishing glasses in front of you.

[SPOILER ALERT]
Mandy was released in 2018 and it has one of the most beautiful color palettes I've ever seen in a gore movie. Directed by Panos Cosmatos and with Nicholas Cage as a broken man seeking revenge in the classic Cage style, with an atmospheric-psychedelic-doom-metal soundtrack connecting it all to create this amazing contemporary rock opera. Honorary mentions to the Cheddar Goblin and Bill Duke who didn't make the editing cuts. I hope you're able to keep up with our references. Or not. Whatever.
