New Year, New View... this month, we're exploring films that remade, and improved on, the original. James and David… if they really ARE who they say they are… examine the John Carpenter classic THE THING in this legacy episode from 2019. Fear, paranoia and mistrust emerge as key themes, as well as the loss of our own identity. They are joined this week by Kathryn Harleman as Richard has inexplicably gone missing… (cue ominous music). Watch the episode here.

Can horror be beautiful? Robert Eggers seems to think so, and James and returning guest Joe Thorn sink their teeth into his latest film, a love letter to the classic century old story from silent cinema now given 21st century sound and color. A questionable sacrifice play, the myopia of science, and broad brush portraits of Christ and AntiChrist emerge from this Victorian horror. Keep the crosses close, things might get bloody… Watch the episode here.

All “Bad” things must come to an end. Join James, Kat, and David for the epic conclusion of the Walter White saga. As we explore the iconic series finale(s), we also dig up a barrel full of biblical themes - walking in darkness, gaining the world by losing your soul, repentance, and the nature of justice. We even draw comparisons between Ebenezer Scrooge and Walt, who is the real cancer of the series. We think you’ll be satisfied with the quality of our product, and hope you have an A1 day. Watch the episode here.

This week our hosts Miles, James & Kat defy watching mindlessly as they cover Wicked: Part 1. This beloved musical is overflowing with fruitful topics to discuss.  Many people have bemoaned the rise of the “villain as misunderstood victim” story, yet our hosts found subtlety and valuable truth throughout this film. Among these truths are the folly of the unexamined life, how we can all be tempted by the desire to be popular, and how this story echoes elements of the greatest story of all. Watch the episode here.
