Episode 68: The Descent
Manage episode 474906233 series 2813904
On this episode we watch 2005’s The Descent. A year after tragedy strikes, a group of friends discover something far worse in the deep caverns of the Appalachian Mountains. This spelunking splatter fest is a contender for many titles, including best horror movie of the 2000s, most objectionable thing to watch for anybody with even the slightest claustrophobia, and having maybe one of the worst best friends in all of horror movie history. Listen up as we also thoroughly debate the appropriate moniker of Vampire Bats vs. Crawlers in this modern horror classic.
Other topics include reflecting on the recent loss of Val Kilmer, visiting with Jim Jarmusch, pivotal David Lynch L.A. landmarks, Days of the Dead Chicago, found footage influence in the early 2000s, and the 90s forgotten gem Rumpelstiltskin on 4K.
