On this Off-Topic episode, Nolan is joined by Thomas Foster, Emily von Seele, and Ben McBride to discuss their favorite horror movies of the year so far as well as the upcoming horror releases that they’re excited about.

As will always be the case with this show, be aware that our discussion contains spoilers. However, since the movies we’re discussing are still very recent, we wanted to call out the big spots where we get into deep into the details.

Heavy Spoiler Warning:

Annihilation: 24:50 – 29:32

Hereditary: 43:00 – 1:00:43

From time to time, we may need to take a break from our usual programming. Going forward, in these times, we’ll produce Off-Topic episodes of the show…which is something of a misnomer since they will feature us discussing a specific topic rather than a double feature. We’ll be back to our usual format for episodes in July. Stay tuned!
