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.
Contest: Win THE ENDLESS on Blu-ray
We’re only halfway through 2018 and it’s already turning out to be another great year for genre film. Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead are some of the most exciting voices currently working in the genre and, between Resolution and Spring, they’ve shown both a reverence for horror/sci-fi and a desire to push their work into unexpected and decidedly humanistic territory. Their newest feature, The Endless, combines UFO death cults and cosmic horror with the story of two brothers seeking closure on their mysterious upbringing, making for an emotionally resonant movie that will also mess with your head.
To celebrate its release on Blu-ray, we’re giving two (2) Dead Ringers listeners a chance to score a copy of the film.
Dead Ringers Off-Topic: Handshake Horror
On this Off-Topic episode, Nolan is joined by Paul Farrell, Philip Yount, and Ben McBride to discuss their “handshake” horror movies. Inspired by the Pure Cinema Podcast‘s “Handshake Five,” these are movies that represent the co-hosts personal tastes, a milestone in their development as horror fans, or simply the movies they can’t stop thinking about.
Contest: Win ANNIHILATION on Blu-ray
We’re only halfway through 2018 and it’s already turning out to be another great year for genre film. Alex Garland is no stranger to horror and sci-fi, having written a slew of vital works such as 28 Days Later and Sunshine, as well as writing and directing the superlative Ex Machina. His newest film, Annihilation, blends heady sci-fi with cosmic horror to create (in this writer’s humble opinion) the best movie of the year (so far).
To celebrate its release on Blu-ray, we’re giving two (2) Dead Ringers listeners a chance to score a copy of the film.
