Episode 436: The Crew’s wondering if all waterbeds come with demons while watching Michael Chaves’ The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. This third installment (eighth if you count all the spinoffs) changes things up a bit. The haunted house vibe is gone and replaced with a police procedural. And maybe that diminishes the scares, but the tension is still here and the story feels fresh.

Episode 435: The Crew’s wondering when they're gonna get a Ferryman spinoff film, while watching Gary Dauberman’s Annabelle Comes Home. This third Annabelle film has so many ghosts, demons, and cursed objects that the backstories and rules get confusing or not explained. But who cares, cause the scares are a plenty, and if one ghost doesn’t work for you, the next will.

Episode 434: The Crew’s confused on what counts as being part of “the Conjuring universe” while watching Michael Chaves’ The Curse of La Llorona. The Warrens are completely absent, but the Annabelle doll and the priest from the first Annabelle film are present… so it counts here. And the franchise should welcome this film, it’s a fast paced ghost/monster movie with some great acting.

Episode 433: The Crew’s hanging with nuns (out a window at the end of a noose) while watching Corin Hardy’s The Nun. This installment in The Conjuring franchise ditches the American haunted house in favor of a creepy gothic church. It’s a welcomed change that adds new visuals and characters.

Episode 432: The Crew’s giving demons permission to move into their dolls… for a second time, while watching David Sandberg’s Annabelle: Creation. This film is a prequel to a prequel that was a spinoff to the first Conjuring film. What could have been a soulless cash grab is invigorated by Sandberg’s fresh jump scares and energetic direction.

Episode 431: The Crew’s trying to figure out what the deal is with the Crooked Man (is it another demon, the same demon as the nun, a spirit, or an urban legend come to life) while watching James Wan’s The Conjuring 2. This is the second Warren film, and while none of the scares are as good as the clap game, the script and story are huge improvements over the first film.

Episode 430: The Crew’s buying creepy collectible dolls while watching John Leonetti’s Annabelle. This prequel/spin-off of the first Conjuring film is a massive downgrade. Some of the jump scares and set pieces work well (especially the elevator scene), but the acting and direction leave a lot to be desired.

Episode 429: The Crew’s playing the clap game while watching James Wan’s The Conjuring. This box office hit spawned a massive franchise, and as of today, is the highest grossing horror franchise. James Wan’s a master of setup and geography, building some effective suspenseful moments climaxing with a jumpscare.

Episode 428: The Crew’s eating 2 meatball subs while watching Kathryn Bigelow’s Point Break. This 90’s action classic is surprisingly light on the action, and more interested in the vibes and culture of surfing… which is probably what makes the film work. Patrick Swayze, Gary Busey, and Lori Petty are perfectly cast. And the closeups of the actors during the skydiving sequence are still unmatched today.

Episode 427: The Crew’s giving the LOVE hand to Charles Laughton’s The Night of the Hunter. This hugely influential film is the only time Charles Laughton got behind the camera. It's often categorized as a horror film or a film noir, but it’s more in line with a dark kids fantasy (think Labyrinth, replacing muppets with an evil preacher).

Episode 426: The Crew’s wondering how many fourth wall breaks are too many while watching Woody Allen’s Annie Hall. This 70’s Best Picture winner has so many iconic images, costumes, and jokes. Diane Keaton delivers a funny and charming performance that’s so modern for its time.

Episode 424: The Crew thinks Pedro Pascal is the clear choice in a love triangle while watching Celine Song’s Materialists. Song’s second feature as writer and director is just as layered, funny, heartbreaking, and joyous as her first film, Past Lives. She’s able to weave all these emotions in a unique way that invites comparisons to James L Brooks and Woody Allen; her voice is that strong.

Episode 424: The Crew's got their ice skates and samurai swords at the ready while watching Len Wiseman’s From the World of John Wick: Ballerina. In this John Wick spinoff, Ana de Armas kicks so much butt, but this script is bad. She deserves a better movie to showcase her rizz and badass training.

Episode 423: The Crew's not letting anyone inside while watching Ryan Coogler’s Sinners. This big budget vampire flick exploded at the box office and got audiences excited. We got some nits to pick, but this is a wonderful success story for filmmaking, especially genre filmmaking.

Episode 422: The Crew's getting some ink while watching David Cronenberg’s Eastern Promises. This Russian mob film set in London, despite dealing with people and locations we usually don’t see in mob films, feels surprisingly familiar. Cronenberg’s horror body is limited to onscreen violence and tattoos. The Crew discusses… If you like our music intro, head over to Soundcloud and hear more amazing music from aquariusweapon.

Episode 421: The Crew's drinking Millbrook’s finest coffee while watching David Cronenberg’s A History of Violence. Cronenberg’s first collaboration with Viggo Mortensen proved to be a box-office hit and an even bigger hit with critics… earning two Oscar Nominations and ending up on several Top 10 lists. It’s simple mob story has layered meaning that only Cronenberg would want to explore on film.

Episode 420: The Crew's watching David Cronenberg’s The Shrouds on their GraveTech app. This morbid techno thriller is right in the Cronenberg wheelhouse, but with surprising amounts of comedy and heartbreaking moments between lovers.

Episode 419: The Crew's birthing their rage while watching David Cronenberg’s The Brood. This 1979 body horror film is a little dated now, but it does give you lots to think about and the visuals will stick in your head.

Episode 418: The Crew's running from cartoon monkeys while watching Joe Johnston’s Jumanji. This Robin Williams hit from 1995 took over 20 years to spawn a billion dollar film franchise. This first installment was made at a time when CGI had never produced a hairy mammal onscreen, and you can tell.

Episode 417: The Crew's back after an unscheduled break to review John McTiernan’s Last Action Hero. This was Schwarzenegger’s summer movie follow up to Terminator 2’s massive success. Lots of money was spent and expectations were sky high, but the movie turned out to be a box office dud. The film has gained a cult following in the years since. Is it a misunderstood classic or were the critics right? The Crew discusses… If you like our music intro, head over to Soundcloud and hear more amazing music from aquariusweapon.
