MPM: Ep. 427 - Load-Bearing Fresco

 

Sweet Home | Uzumaki - Hey everyone! Dehart chooses the films this week and we check out a couple of Japanese films. First, we go through the film that the Resident Evil game franchise was inspired by, Sweet Home (1989) and then Uzumaki (2000), a film based on the popular manga by Junji Ito. In this episode, we talk about authors that should have better adaptations, the connections between one of these films and Poltergeist, and emotional investment in horror movie characters. Enjoy!

MPM: Ep. 426 - Dog Earth

Cronos | High Life - Hey, listeners! Thanks for checking out another episode of Motion Picture Meltdown! Phil chooses the flicks this week and we check out Guillermo del Toro's Cronos (1993) and High Life (2018). In this episode we talk about the weirdest people we've ever met, we discuss whether Dog Earth is better than Human Earth, and wonder about Ron Perlman's linguistic skillz. Enjoy!
