  • Grating Voice - Carefree Audio Quality

    Mike, please do something to take care of that grating voice. You always sound sinus-infected or sick. It creates a grating sound that makes me want to skip past what you say. It’s too bad, as the commentary on these episodes is consistently good.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

DIARY OF THE DEAD
Q: What did you think about the found footage aspect of this movie?
The hosts felt Romero's execution of found footage was clunky, and it limited the spontaneity often found in this style of filmmaking, leading to too much editing and less authentic reactions.
DIARY OF THE DEAD
Q: Devaughn, what do you think of your relationship with the zombie genre and Romero films in particular?
Devaughn shares that he's not usually a fan of zombie movies, citing a lack of variety among them. However, he appreciates found footage films, which is why he agreed to join the discussion for this one.
WRONG TURN (2021)
Q: What made you want to guest on the reboot?
Kat expresses her long-standing love for the original Wrong Turn film and her excitement for the reboot's fresh approach.
WRONG TURN 3: LEFT FOR DEAD
Q: What are your initial thoughts on Wrong Turn 3?
This one's a pretty rough watch. There is a good chunk of it that's just loud screaming. It doesn't hold up as well as the first two.
EXORCIST 2: THE HERETIC
Q: Devaughn, do you want to dive in and give your initial thoughts?
Exorcist II is interesting; I don't think it's the worst movie, but its reputation is colored by being a sequel to a classic.
