We wrap the festive season by talking about a holiday horror miss and highlighting one of 2023’s most unexpected releases, “Mister Organ”.
We begin, as always, with a discussion of the latest horror news. There is a surprising amount of it this week.
Godzilla Minus One has done well among critics and audiences. This has led to a re-release that sounds pretty cool. For the time being, it is only in Japan, but we are sure it will come to America. We also talk about two upcoming sequels. One has us excited; the other? Not so much.
Then, it’s on to our featured reviews, including a chilling new documentary and a look back at a unique holiday horror release.
We have been planning on talking about Mister Organ for weeks now. The documentary sounds innocent enough. An investigative reporter finds out about a strange parking scam and decides to follow up. It ends up being a mistake that changes his life for the worse.
The titular character is one of the most terrifying people ever captured on film. He is manipulative and calculating and always seems to be one step ahead of everyone. We talk about how unremarkable he seems to be (this adds to how frightening he is) and how Mister Organ uses interviews and lots of conversations to showcase how terrifying he is. This includes an epic rant from Blake.
Finally, we close out our holiday horror shows with the world’s only zombie apocalypse musical.
When Anna and the Apocalypse was released six years ago, it seemed destined to be a Yuletide regular. So why did it fail to even reach cult status?
The simple answer, at least for us, is that it is not that good. The idea is creative, and the setting is perfect for what the creators had in mind. Unfortunately, the mix of comedy and high drama never effectively comes together. The songs are decent but derail the more serious aspects. The more horrific scenes take away all the fun.
In the opinion of this podcast, Anna and the Apocalypse is a mess, and we discuss why. However, it’s important to note that not everyone agrees with our sentiment, and the film certainly has its share of devoted fans.
Every week AIPT Movie Editor Nathaniel Muir and his cinema partner in crime Blake Heath discuss indie and genre movies you have have never heard of, the ones you cannot hear enough about, and the ones you never want to hear about again.
We have spent years talking about how important The Blair Witch Project is. We discuss the pros and cons of the latest reimagining of the iconic found footage classic. And we are definitely interested. Plus, the latest internet horror fad that Hollywood wants to adapt into a movie. And while it does seem a little silly to us, they do have a strong director attached to it.
The Asylum has been putting out grade-A quality B movies for a long time. Sharknado may be their most well-known, but their specialty are mockbusters like Tomb Invader and Top Gunner. We could not wait to take a look at their inner workings.
Mockbuster does much more than that. Sure, there is plenty of footage from The Asylum library. And yes, all of it is amazing. The interviews with the people at the top of the company are also great. They know the score and are funny, entertaining, and informative.
But it is the documentary’s subject that is the beating heart of the film. Anthony Frith is one of the most charming people we have ever seen and we enjoyed watching his journey. Mockbuster ended up being an unexpected feel-good watch thanks to Frith and all of the incredibly supportive people featured.
On top of all that, we get to see how a movie from The Asylum gets made!
