The last show of the year is upon us. We are doing something we have never done before. We have covered limited series before. To end the year we also have the return of one of our most asked about guest hosts. It is all killer, no filler this episode as we end things on a strong note.

A few weeks back we started following Welcome to Derry. The first two episodes were horrible. Thankfully, the third one improved to just merely bad. We figured that was a good time to take a break from the show. We also knew we would come back to close the whole thing out.

It seemed like things would be okay for a couple of shows. They had found their stride. Sure, the CGI was still awful. Yes, the opening credits sucked. Yeah, they kept introducing numerous new subplots every episode. But at least Welcome to Derry was remaining at a consistent level of bad.

Then we came to the last three episodes.

Everything became progressively worse. Seemingly important characters would disappear then just reappear to progress the story. Important plot points were dropped until the finale. The writing felt like things were being done as the show progressed. And nothing made sense.

Don’t believe us? That’s fair. We spent the whole time talking the show down. The show is made for a newer audience than us. But listen to the people who love the show. Not the ones who just heap praise upon the surface level qualities. The ones who are tying themselves in knots trying to explain what happened in the show.

We have purposely avoided doing anything involving The Last Drive-In. Why would we want to review a movie when Joe Bob has already done it? There is no way we would be able to top what he had already done. We start our latest show with something directly from Shudder’s most popular show.

We may be a little biased, but we have always though the horror community is one of the strongest. There is little to no gatekeeping, a willingness to talk, and just a lot of good people. We hate to put labels on anyone who says they are a horror fan. But what if you like films? We have ten statements that will make them mad.

Our humble little podcast started seven years ago and during that time there have been a lot of surprises. Some movies have amazed us how good they are. Others have shocked us with how bad they ended up being. We figured that this would be he perfect time of year to talk about them.

But the surprises are more about good and bad. We talk about the fall of Jordan Peele and the rise of Tubi. We talk about the movie that made us think we had come across something that had too much nudity and the film that everyone seems to love except us. And we look back painfully at the movie that we are most embarrassed about.

SPOILER ALERT!!! AS WITH ALL SPECIAL EDITIONS WE DISCUSS ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING

Osgood Perkins is one of the best horror directors going today. He has an eye for horror and knows how to deliver scares and an engaging story. Keeper is no different as its character driven plot builds to some of the best jump scares of the year. The mood will draw you in and the setting is perfect for its tale.

Which is not to say that the storytelling is not without its problems. The pacing may be an issue for some as it takes a while for the plot to actually develop. It is not a long movie, but the first third of Keeper is a little too methodical. But it is the ending that is a bigger issue. The exposition dumps and vagueness will definitely turn some off.

One thing that we had no problem with was the performance of Tatiana Maslany. She has done some amazing work in genre cinema and is the heartbeat of Keeper. So much so that if the same story is told without her, it would be nowhere near as good. The movie does a lot right, but she is the highlight.

The end result is a whole lot of good with some very noticeable bad. What does that mean for the entire film? We talk about the direction of Perkins, its patient and frustrating storytelling, the acting of the small cast, the over the top ending, and more as we try to make sense of Keeper.
