We go on a dark ride with one of our favorites in “The Passenger” and see if the much-anticipated “Natty Knocks” lives up to expectations.
We begin, as always, with talk of the latest horror headlines.
Barbie continues its box office onslaught, but how did it fare against Haunted Mansion? And what would have happened if it had come out at the same time in 2019?
What kid has not, at one point or another, dreamed of being an astronaut? Who has not gazed at the stars or wondered what is out there? How many have demanded the upcoming streaming service from NASA?
Then it’s on to our featured new movie reviews, including one “not for everyone” indie horror hit and a highly anticipated, star-studded miss.
The Passenger
We have reviewed four movies with Kyle Gallner on our humble little podcast. From his underserved role in Smile to the amazing Dinner in America, the actor has shown incredible range. The Passenger sees him in another role, unlike anything we have seen. But is that a good thing?
Teaming up legends Robert Englund, Bill Moseley, and Danielle Harris is a great way to draw in genre fans. And the sheer power seems like enough for a good time.
With the rest of the cast putting in strong performances and the director of Halloween 4 at the helm, there seemed to be no way Natty Knocks could fail. So, what happened?
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
Last week, we talked about the Fantasia World Premiere of Sympathy for the Devil.

Episode 271: Bruceploitation Month: ‘All You Need is Death’ (2024)/’Fists of Bruce Lee’
We have devoted plenty of time on our humble little podcast singing the praises of The Blair Witch Project over the years. But what do we have to say now that the original cast has made some pretty heavy demands? We also talk about a video game adaptation taking place in El Paso and why the opinions of video game fans may be the most reliable.
All You Need is Death is a great title for a comedy horror. Have some fun musical numbers and an ending involving a bad looking George Harrison lookalike and you got yourself a winner. If the plot is a serious one involving Irish folklore and odd secret organizations, it is one of the worst titles ever.
A bad title does not take away from a good film, however. Especially when that film owes a big debt to David Lynch’s creepiest tendencies. That being said, Lynch is definitely not for everyone. And so goes, All You Need is Death, a movie that does so much right but also cannot seem to help but get in its own way.
Bruceploitation Month continues with Fists of Bruce Lee. This episode we tried to do something different and review a movie with a plot. Sure, it is all just filler to take up space between the awesome fight scenes, but there is an actual story being told. After covering last week’s travesty, it is nice to know that there are some movies that were trying to do more than just cash in on Lee’s name.
