The Kulturecast

While I may not be a Gen-Zer, I can most definitely get down with their brand of horror, especially if Backrooms is any indication of the quality and concept of their take on the genre. Contrast that with a "horror"-comedy franchise that's returned from a long justified and much needed absence in Scary Movie, and that makes for a hell of a double feature or at least two very apropo weekends at the cinema. 

Join me as I take a look at both and bemoan one way more than the other, and, shockingly, it was the more expensive of the two.

We're running it back with some films we've already watched with a Robert Eggers film that has become a modern day classic: The VVitch. Starring Anya-Taylor Joy as Thomasin, she along with her family live in 1630s New England which may or may not be under the sway of a witch in the woods. Thomasin and her family are doomed to find out whether or not the witch is real or not. Dr. David. D. Perlmutter and Julie Brannan join the episode to talk all about it.

We take a break from Mike White May to talk about the latest entry into the forever franchise that has become Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu. Featuring Pedro Pascal, from time to time as the Mandalorian, and Grogu, the space western opera follows the further exploits of the two as they attempt to free the son of Jabba Hutt while working for the Rebels.

Mike White May is all Sean Connery all month long, but now it must come to an end, and it comes to an end with a monk murder mystery with The Name of the Rose. Starring Connery as a thin facsimilie of Sherlock Holmes and Christian Bale as a young stand-in for Watson as they investigate an abbey in the north of Italy where strange murders have been taking place. Richard Hatem's Paranormal Bookshelf's Richard Hatem joins the show to talk all about the film and star Elya Baskin is interviewed about his time on the film.

Mike White May continues with more Sean Connery, except this time it's fake news and he's the one selling it in Wrong is Right. Starring Connery as Patrick Hale, a globetrotting news muckraker who gets involved with all the US letter agencies in a game of intrigue and murder. It's less fun than it sounds which is a real shame given the Connery of it all.
