The Others

Do you ever look at a film’s practical effects and marvel at how good they look only to find out that they’re a masterpiece of digital compositing? No? Just me? Well maybe you need to revisit The Others with Lady MacBehth and me in this the 49th episode of Murders With Mertens! Do we go on a few tangents and talk about the merits of Alien 3? Why not!

Apologies if the audio is a little rough on this one... I think I had my mic turned up just a bit too much! We were just so excited to get started!

Midsommar

Sat, 24 Jun 2023 16:00:21 GMT

Joe Medforth (AKA Joe Medforce) returns to gush about Ari Aster’s Midsommar and we lose ourselves in the madness! We’ve been meaning to do this one for a minute so it’s perfect timing that this releases in time for midsummer festivals around the globe! Also perfect that Joe had a fun announcement to bring along for the ride! Be sure to stay for the ending!

We also run through a ton of related films (at least to us! 😂) starting with Beau is Afraid and moving to The World’s End to Get Out to The Fifth Element to Sing Street to the Resident Evil film franchise and circling back to The Fifth Element to The Evil Dead to The Simpsons to Beetlejuice and returning to Sing Street then heading to The Mask to Ren & Stimpy to The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader to Austin Powers to Evil Dead (again) to the Filip Miucin plagiarism scandal to Frankie Valli to Joni Mitchell to Judy Collins to Spring Breakers (Midsommar foreeeeeevvvverrr) to Hot Fuzz to Woodlands Dark & Days Bewitched to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse to Fast X again and again… and finally leading into Blood Disco! #Descend!

Doctor Sleep

Sun, 11 Dec 2022 02:42:19 GMT

Prince Jackson of Knight Light: A Horror Movie Podcast makes his Murders with Mertens debut to discuss a mutual favorite: Doctor Sleep! We dive into the director’s cut of Mike Flanagan’s masterpiece (that’s right, I said it!) and get to the bottom of what makes this gem just so damned cool. We’ve been trying to make this collaboration happen for a minute so I’m extremely excited that this finally happened!

I am joined once again by Madeline Stanley but this time she’s brought a guest of her own: her husband Xander Stanley! This time we take a deep dive into 1994’s John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness! The capstone of Carpenter’s Apocalypse Trilogy deserves some serious love and it turns out it resonates just that much more nearly 30 years later! Listen and you’ll understand! 😱
