Ep906: TALK TO ME (2023) - Movie Review

Ian welcomes The Blonde in Front herself, Cati Glidewell, for a scary-fun look at one of 2023's best films, Talk to Me!

YouTubers/brothers Danny and Michael Philippou make their feature debut with a smart, character-focused horror movie that really threw our hosts for a loop. Centering on a group of Australian teens who discover that the latest viral sensation is actually a gateway to Hell, Talk to Me offers a fresh take on Ouija Board and possession movies that neither host saw coming!

In this spoilerific review, Ian and Cati examine how the the Philippous built upon their genre influences instead of merely referencing them; why A24 is the perfect studio for up-and-coming horror filmmakers; and the surprising link between Talk to Me's conception of the afterlife and that of Michael Tolkin's 1991 end-of-days thriller, The Rapture.

Also, Ian shares an utterly shocking experience from the Music Box Theatre's preview screening (after which the Philippou's stuck around for a Q&A)!
