So, let's continue to root for the villain (especially if he is shirtless) in TRAP.
We talk M. Night Shyamalan, Josh Hartnett, camp cinema (not Trap), and film festival nonsense

Episode Notes
Ok, we are back with more Stephen King nonsense. I guess if you make changes, sometimes the author is ok with it. But only if it is extra sad? Sorry, Kubrick, apparently you are no Frank Darabont.
Topics include:
-Joe Hill v Stephen King
-The Walking Dea
-"Oh god noooooo"
-Thomas Jane being a limited actor
-Bad special effects

We are back with more Sydney Sweeney releases, oddly. Who scheduled these episodes anyway?
This week, Ron Howard's EDEN is finally released, so we head off to a deserted island with another movie star. This time, THE BEACH and Leonardo DiCaprio. What could possibly go wrong?
