Martyrs / Inside / High Tension

Oui oui au Francais! We go back to the Croisette – where we are immediately escorted far, far away – and finish what we’ve started with a TRIO of the most famous horror films in the New French Extremity movement of the early 2000s. That’s right, grab your finest pair of shears, dust off that old concrete saw, and flay your skin off your body as we cover INSIDE (2007), HIGH TENSION (2003), and MARTYRS (2008). We also go deep on some recent viewings (Curtis watched too much stuff, what can we say) including, because who would we be if we didn’t weigh in, James Gunn’s trilogy capper, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Bet we’re the only podcast to put Martyrs and Guardians in the same episode description. Enjoy!

 

00:00 - 21:19ish: Friendship! We intro discussing Chet Hanks (Cody had never heard of him), sommeliers, Gary Vaynerchuck (only Lucas had ever heard of him), Lucas’ grandma’s favorite snack, the actual best pizza on the planet (Apollonia’s in Los Angeles), group texts and who we reach out to for specific help, and how incapable most of us are at basic handy things.
