    While Halloween may be behind us, there's still horror movies to talk about, especially ones that have been releasing almost parallel to the duration of this podcast, now with a fifth and totally unnecessary entry. As Hell House LLC: Lineage may be the least necessary of the entire series, it does very little justify its existence as a lackluster epilogue to an otherwise peak found footage series. Ryan Verrill is a fan of the series and he's here to put a cap(?) on the series.

    Every year, this year not withstanding, I do an episode on Halloween, the best holiday of the year, on a horror movie, and this year it felt very apropro to cover Halloween Ends. Halloween Ends came out during the mid-years of the pandemic and was divisive in the horror community for the treatment of Michael Myers and the introduction and focus on a new, possible replacement. Divisiveness aside, the film treats Myers like a trauma monster, has some wild kills, and features an opening that may be one of the finest cold opens in horror history.

    Similarly to Tron, Final Destination is a franchise that has been out of the game for almost fifteen years, but no longer with this year's immensely entertaining Final Destination Bloodlines, a new step in the right direction for the franchise. Featuring the final film performance of Tony Todd's legendary career, it establishes new rules for the series while bringing the whole franchise together. Disc-Connected's Ryan Verrill joins the show to talk the film and the series in totality.

    "End of Line"

    Tron is a franchise that seems to come back every fifteen years to twenty for another swing at bat, often with arresting visuals and a killer soundtrack in tow. However, has the franchise at any point in over 40 years ever really escaped the gravity of "cult of cool" that has it looking stylistically interesting but not telling a truly engaging story? Seems like a question worth asking!

    If The House that Jack Built wasn't serial killer entertainment enough, South Korea cinema seems to be equally obsessed with the more depraved amongst us with 2008's The Chaser. A serial killer chase film set in the nightlife district of South Korea, it's as wild as it is creative with the direction of the action in a way you just didn't see in American cinema at the time.

    It was optioned to be remade and it was the director's first film, and he wrote it as well; insane.

    If serial killer cinema is your bag, baby, and you've never seen Lars Von Trier's The House that Jack Built, let us tell you why you should change that immediately. Not only is it a career performance for Matt Dillon but it features what may be the most interesting and engaging serial killer performance this side of the Trinity Killer.

    If serial killers aren't your bag, stay for the Dante's Inferno of it all, and possibly the most meta death scene ever featuring Uma Thurman.

    Addiction, mental health, grief: all things that can lead to an inescapable amount of trauma, heartbreak, and instability in one's life. Now, more often then not, those things aren't caused by a red-headed immortal witch but then again, those things aren't Weapons, Zach Cregger's latest joint.

    It's another fairy tale in in a horror movie wrapping with some comedic bits to boot.

    Dramedy runs high with a film from Adam Carter Rehmeier that not only made waves in 2024 due to the dopamine machine known as TikTok but also made an impact when it was initially released: Dinner in America. Disc-Connected's Ryan Verrill joins the conversation with collaborator Jeremy Long as well to round out the conversation, ya fucking punks.
