Once again we devote this week's episode to catching up. Anthony is back from the Shock Stock horror convention and fills us in on the guest roster, listener interactions and everything else from a fun weekend on the show floor. In true from the hip fashion we chat about all sorts of random topics beginning with the proliferation of genre series in various television forms (network, netflix and amazon original programming), and get a peek at Dexter season 8. We discuss some interesting trailers and get into a lengthy watch list of truly varied material: Children of Men (2006), The Mummy and The Mummy Returns (yikes), Dark Skies (2013), Taken 2 (yes, Ted bit the bullet), Jurassic Park 3D (why call it Imax when it's not Imax?), and the mind-bending indie time travel film Primer (2004). So we may be a bit light on horror content this week but heavy on the conversational banter, so feel free to join in. We have a few topics brewing up and another milestone around the corner, stay tuned and tell a friend to help spread the word. As always we welcome your comments: horroretc@gmail.com Voicemail (206) 337-5324 |

Looking forward to the discussion of Primer. I watched that film about three weeks ago and I am not ashamed to say that I was lost after about thirty minutes. I'm usually pretty good at time travel films but I was in a haze.

Another great episode fellas. Strange coincidence that I watched Primer this past week as well and thought about your time travel episode from a while back ( Time Crimes is on deck). For some strange reason the eight year old flick kept popping up everywhere recently, in other podcasts, discussions with co-workers and but most importantly in this book of essays I'm currently reading, which is strange because up until about a week ago I hadn't heard of it, but found what I read in the essay extremely intriguing. Ted nailed it; it's fantastic and deserves multiple viewings, a la Mulholland Dr and to a lesser extent Donnie Darko. For anyone interested, here's the essay I mentioned above. The author talks about Primer being the best, most authentic time travel story ever told in the Chapter 3 (spoiler free, can't spoil this one). The entire essay is a short and intriguing piece on time travel in general. g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/books/SS.EMS/EatingtheDinosaurexcerpt.pdf |
