Movie Meltdown - Episode 657

Sam Drog returns for another of our on-going movie talk therapy sessions. And as we make recommendations that most people don't get, we also mention… Sinners, the X film series, Blue Moon, Is God Is, Honey Don't!, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Tura!, The Bride!, accumulating things, The Fabelmans, Predestination, leaving the house only when necessary, movies where nothing happens, different cinema formats, Critters 2 and/or 3, there are days… when I feel my anger might consume me, I'm kind of like Jeremiah Johnson now, people's deranged hard drive, artsy remakes of classic horror movies, Ti West, Coen brothers movies, a crazy religious cult, Ethan Hawke, being shot by gamma rays, living in an archaeological dig, The Cars That Ate Paris, having Elvis propose to you, and how many Michael B Jordan's are in this movie?!

Spoiler Alert: So that spoiler that everybody has known about "Sinners" for the last year… yeah, we talk about that.

"I got my corkboard and ball of yarn…"
