Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Roseanne
Q: Do you agree with the assessment that the finale was a cop-out that ignored the season's arc?
Jenn expresses mixed feelings, noting that while some elements like Dan's death were emotionally impactful, the finale ultimately felt like a retreat from the season's edgier storytelling and that a more straightforward death-centered last season could have been more thematically coherent.
Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead
Q: What were your initial impressions of this film?
Adrian describes it as a film with a goofy, out-of-nowhere premise that somehow works as a slice of 90s nostalgia, and Ashley notes its silly charm that holds up despite recognizing its dumbness.
Special Interview Episode: Scared to Death's Director Paul Boyd, and Stars Kurt Deimer, Bill Moseley, and Lin Shaye
Q: What was your inspiration for the film?
Paul Boyd explains that the idea came from personal experiences with a haunted house and a desire to write about a film crew, evolving into a horror-comedy that balances horror with situational humor rather than relying on jokes.
Pop Culture and Fandom News for the Week of April 12th
Q: What makes the new series on Netflix noteworthy beyond being a horror show?
They highlight that the project is written and directed by women, marking a notable shift in creative leadership and a topic of conversation around female auteurs in genre cinema.
Odd Thomas
Q: What are your thoughts on the afterlife?
There is an afterlife; however, I don't know what it looks like. I think we end up having peace but I think that there is some reckoning that we do before we get there.
