  • From the Vault: The Haunting (1999 Film)
    Apr 4 2025

    Jan de Bont’s adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s novel bears little resemblance to the source material, much less the 1963 Robert Wise film, but with all the talent that worked on the movie it should have still been a success. Stephen King and Steven Spielberg both pitched in, but for whatever reason they couldn’t save the movie from critical disappointment. Stars Catherine Zeta Jones, Owen Wilson, Liam Neeson, and Lili Taylor are all there, too, but can they elevate the movie above cheap thrills? Enjoy this former Patreon-exclusive episode!

Amazing Show, so many episodes!

The energy in this show is just right. The hosts create an involved dynamic that gives you the feeling of sitting around discussing your favorite stories. This show and the weekly episodes helped me push through the isolation of quarantine, you get the feeling of sitting at the pub with some of your best mates! Cheers!
