          We briefly talk what we’ve doing involving horror recently. Liam talks about seeing Oz Perkins’ The Monkey and reading the horror/sci-fi manga Dandadan, and Justin talks about attending a screening of Mulholland Drive.

          Up first is The Incredible Melting Man. Justin talks about being familiar with the film’s poster before actually seeing it, and Liam talks about how a few years back he was somewhat ostracized for not liking this movie at a past Exhumed Film’s Horrorthon, and discuss how boring the film is despite the hype.

We talk about how the film has somewhat unexpectedly dark tones to it, one of them being the concept the objectification of the working class by the government. Liam brings up some of the film’s quirkier elements such as the strange fashion choices, and we talk about the odd casting choice of director Jonathan Demme.
