Ep. 20: Children of the Corn (1984) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome to Stephen King September! We're kicking off a new month with one of the more...divisive...adaptations of Uncle Steve's work, Children of the Corn from 1984, or as Pat likes to call it Corn Kidz: The Reckoning. We get into the really deep issues like what defines a cult, when does a religion cross the line, and what exactly was the corn budget on this movie? Just a word of warning, we are both dads, so things might get corny. Head over to https://www.manorhq.com/eof to sign up for the mo
Ep. 19: Barton Fink (1991) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We conclude Hotter Than Hell Month with a movie that will show us the life of the mind, the Coen Brother's brilliant and inscrutable Barton Fink (1991). We do our best to divine the films mysteries--is the Hotel Earl Hell? Is Hollywood purgatory? Is Charlie the Devil or is he God? Is Barton released to Paradise by the end or still just trapped in his own head? There's plenty to discuss with one of the most unique movies we've ever covered.

Ep 18: High Plains Drifter (1973) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hotter Than Hell Month continues with a trip into the old west town of Lago...or is it hell...for Clint Eastwood's sophomore directorial effort High Plains Drifter. We discuss what The Stranger really represents, the nature of hypocrisy, and the fear that people find inside them. So, is High Plains Drifter horror movie? And does it really touch on matters of faith, religion, and spirituality? We come to the conclusion that the answer to both is a resounding "yes!" Head over to https://www.manorh
