"For the first time in a long time, I feel like... Like I'm right where I'm supposed to be".
1w ago00:57:16Tap to summarizeWhile I may not be a Gen-Zer, I can most definitely get down with their brand of horror, especially if Backrooms is any indication of the quality and concept of their take on the genre. Contrast that with a "horror"-comedy franchise that's returned from a long justified and much needed absence in Scary Movie, and that makes for a hell of a double feature or at least two very apropo weekends at the cinema. Join me as I take a look at both and bemoan one way more than the other, and, shockingly, it was the more expensive of the two.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support.

"If you're going to lie, lie big. And if you get caught, lie even bigger."
3w ago01:21:46Tap to summarizeMike White May continues with more Sean Connery, except this time it's fake news and he's the one selling it in Wrong is Right. Starring Connery as Patrick Hale, a globetrotting news muckraker who gets involved with all the US letter agencies in a game of intrigue and murder.
