On this week's podcast, co-host Dave Dierksen and I recap the wide arrange of great (and not so great) films at this year's Fantastic Fest at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, TX, an eight day crash course in genre filmmaking from around the globe. Selections discussed include the new "Halloween" film (and meeting Jamie Lee Curtis!), the world premiere of "Bad Times at The El Royale," the U.S. premiere of both "Suspiria," and other gems including the black metal biopic "Lords of Chaos" and "Between Worlds," a Nicolas Cage movie so crazy, it even surpasses "Wicker Man" and "Vampire's Kiss" in weirdness. This is just the tip of the iceberg however, and there was a treasure trove of films to view and discuss, (including Netflix originals "Hold The Dark," "The Night Comes For Us," and "The Apostle"), so sit back and listen up on all the films you need to catch this year.
