Episode 62 - Gods of Egypt

Dragon on the Couch: The Dragon starts off with two movies she saw in the theatre: Last Night in Soho, which she liked well enough, but not as much as husband-of-the-show Andrew, and The French Dispatch, the new Wes Anderson movie that she felt was a parody of a Wes Anderson movie, but still ok. The Dragon is also almost done with all the John Carpenters, and gave a breakdown of the next five movies in his filmography: Memoirs of an Invisible Man (Kanopy), was a Chevy Chase movie and therefore not great, Sam Neill was great; In the Mouth of Madness (not streaming), amazing, an underappreciated Carpenter film starring Sam Neill that the Dragon really liked; Village of the Damned (Peacock), a made for TV movie that was somehow released in theatres, not good; Escape from LA (Starz), has Snake Plissken so +10, is literally the same exact plot of Escape from New York with terrible CGI so -8; Vampires (Starz), probably not a good movie but the Dragon liked it; and finally, Ghosts of Mars (Starz), an actually bad, pretty boring movie.

 

Berto on the Bed: Berto did us all a favor and watched Final Destinations 3-5 (HBO), and they were: on par with the second one without the truck crash (3); the worst one of the franchise (4), and mostly bad (5). Berto also went to the theatre and watched Halloween Kills (theatre), which he loved and thought was better than Halloween 2018. On his bed, he watched No One Gets Out Alive (Netflix), and he thought it was pretty good, with good scares and a quick runtime. Lastly, Berto watched Talon Falls (Tubi), a graphic horror movie set in a Halloween haunted house that he thought was decent.

 

Dragon at the Movies: This week's deep dive was the 2016 action/fantasy movie God's of Egypt, currently not streaming anywhere for free because our timing was bad.
