We chat about Chattanooga and a couple of the genre films that stood out to us this year: “The Bigfoot Trap” and “Mind Body Spirit”.
The Bigfoot Trap
We begin, as always, with a recap of the week’s horror news.
When we spoke about the disappearance of Julian Sands in January, we took for granted that we would be found. Regrettably, his remains were found this week. He was a great actor who will be missed.
There has been too much talk about comic book movies on this show lately. But the casting of Superman and Lois Lane is impossible to ignore. We give our opinions on the new actors and what it means for the DC Extended Universe.
Then we move on to our two featured films out of the Chattanooga Film Fest.
It has been a while since we talked about cryptids. Our first review from Chattanooga is a look at America’s most famous mythical beast. At least, that is what it sounds like. Can you have a movie called The Bigfoot Trap and have no Bigfoot?
That is not the case here, but it sure does come close. Instead of being a story about the creature, the film focuses on its two main characters. It is a mixed bag that comes together in one of the best endings we have seen this year. But is it enough to save the movie?
Mind Body Spirit
For our second film, we venture into the world of found footage.
We love found-footage movies. Though we are not the biggest fans of the term POV movie, that does not take away from our enjoyment of the sub-genre. (We are just cranky old men who have a problem when it comes to change.)
Mind Body Spirit appealed to us because it is classic found footage with a modern sensibility. There are some creepy moments, some pretty neat gore, and, yes, a computer cam.
The film did a lot to impress us. So what stopped it from being something special?
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
Last week, we talked about a type of movie they really don’t make anymore: Mad Heidi.

Episode 370: Mid year recap
Time moves more quickly now than it ever has. It was not that long ago that we were talking about a new show executive produced by the Duffer brothers. About a month later, it is one and done. As someone once reminded us, we are just two guys who watch movies. Production budgets and domestic grosses are only a passing interest to us. Still, there are some things that catch our attention. Were we right to say that Michael would get to $1 billion? And what does the future hold for Obsession?
There was a major change to our humble little podcast this year. We decided it would be in our best interests to be a little more focused. To that end, we went to just covering one movie each show. Despite this, we still managed to cover twenty-three movies over seventeen episodes. And twenty of them were released in 2026.
So, what do we have to talk about? And will we get as worked up as we did last week? The horrors of high school, zombies, musicals, buff nuns, and grindhouse adjacent fun. It may not all have been good, but everything left some sort of impression on us.
