Episode 76 - Excision

Dragon on The Couch: The Dragon started at the movies with the new Scream (Theaters), which she entered with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. She next watched the documentary Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror (Shudder), which she enjoyed, but it was right in her wheelhouse. Next, she watched Beanie Mania (HBO), a documentary about the beanie baby bubble that mostly reminded her of the time period. The Dragon watched a few shows: she started with the newest season of Ted Lasso (Apple TV+), which she is enjoying. Next, she’s halfway through the new season of Cheer (Netflix), which is great, and finally has been rewatching her comfort show Hannibal (Hulu) for the third time.

 

Berto on the Bed: Berto started by watching Aileen Wuornos: American Boogeywoman (Netflix), which he found laughably bad. Next, Berto watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) (Prime) and the sequel: Out Of The Shadows (Paramount +), he thought it was exactly what it should have been silly, but he didn’t like the action in it. Next, he watched The Puppet Master: Hunting the Ultimate Conman (Netflix), about a British conman who spent years convincing people he was an MI6 agent. Next, Berto talked quickly about a few movies he had seen: Jakob's Wife (Shudder), which he thought was an interesting take on the vampire story; The Bad Batch (Netflix), a bad slow movie he didn’t like; Ghost Ship (Tubi), a typical 2000’s horror movie that is passable. Finally, he watched JCVD (Tubi), which he thought showed some of Jean-Claude Van Damme’s acting ability but was a bad and slow film.

 

This week's deep dive is 2012 horror film Excision, currently streaming on Tubi & Amazon Prime.
