Episode 89: We're Back, a Bat Story

Welcome back friends, we are back from a bit of an unexpected hiatus but back none the less.  Bat is on the mend which is a great thing to be thankful for as we round our way into the end of November.  It's a few weeks late but we bring you are Spoiler Free and Spoilerific review of Interstellar.  As well as tackle some topics that we have been siting on.  

One of those topics was our last Horror movie suggestion from Kristi, "Grave Encounters." Holy shit this movie is evil, and quite good.  We both gave it a solid 3 stars and enjoyed it.  Bat even sent me a text a bit into the movie warning me to not watch it alone and low and behold what did I do?  I watched it alone, in the middle of the night but I did watch it with the lights on... which didn't really impede the creep factor.  This movie is quite a bit of a mind fuck and I would suggest it to people who are into movies like Silent Hill or Jacobs Ladder, something where you don't really know where the boundaries of reality lie.  If you are in for a spooky movie we both would give this one a recommendation. 

 


Our next fan suggestion of "Rush" comes from Bat's Heterolifemate.  We had planned on seeing this Ron Howard movie in theaters due to a solid looking trailer and the cast attached to it.  Visually it looks pretty damn good and review wise it was generally well liked so I'm feeling pretty optimistic about this one.

Episode 88: Over Captainizing

Welcome back friends.  This week we continue with our fourth horror movie of October, "The Blair Witch Project."  This movie proves that nostalgia doesn't always stand the test of time.  This movie has not aged well and it is painfully apparent.  While this was my first time viewing Blair Witch this was one of Bat's favorites. Regardless we both arrived at the same conclusion, this movie just isn't good any more.  Bad camera work (shaky-er than shaky cam's should be), bad acting and supremely grainy visuals just drain any fun that would be had in this movie.  Really if you want your "found footage" movie fix we would suggest you look else where. 

This weeks fifth and final horror movie "Grave Encounters" comes from fan Kristi.  We know absolutely nothing about the movie besides the trailer.  So give it a gander and maybe give it a watch so you can weigh in on next weeks podcast.
