We start by talking about what we’ve done involving horror recently. Dean talks about picking up a Bentley Little novel on the strength of Justin’s recommendation, seeing the films Sea Fever and Burning, as well as revisiting An American Werewolf In London. We briefly talk about the recent episodes of Lovecraft Country. Liam talks about the film She Dies Tomorrow and the documentary In Search Of Darkness on Shudder. Justin talks about the South Korean film #Alive. We briefly talk about the HBO series Raised By Wolves.

Up first is Sisters. We begin by talking with Dean about why he chose this film, and he talks about how the opening hooked him. The film is a mystery set in Staten Island and it sets up initially as a mystery with the protagonist being a young Black man.

We talk about our backgrounds with Brian de Palma, and Dean talks about how he’s a huge fan of de Palma’s visual style. Justin talks about how the “pop psychology” aspect of the film is what bothered him the most.
