Today, The Kicking the Seat Podcast and Nick Allen of RogerEbert.com put flashlights to chins for a lively look at Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark! The latest big-screen adaptation of a beloved kids'-book series was executive-produced by Guillermo del Toro, but it's debatable whether the pop-cult auteur's signature inventiveness made an impression on the film.
This wide-ranging conversation was recorded moments after an advance screening earlier this week, and covers expectations, inconsistencies, and Ally McBeal.
Also, Ian recommends the new religious drama Them That Follow, which opens in select theatres this weekend!
Episode 436 is going paperless!
