Film Fallout Podcast #133 - Halloween: The Haunting of Jake Paul

Published: Oct. 24, 2018, 4:10 a.m.

Christopher Cross and Dylan Schwan take a trip to Haddonfield, Illinois for another round with The Shape by talking about the true sequel to Halloween...that's also called Halloween. Can David Gordon Green's sequel live up to the hype of John Carpenter's endorsement and involvement? How do the themes match up to the original's spare template? Is it too funny? We ended up talking about some important bits of media including Mike Flanagan's astonishing Netflix miniseries, The Haunting of Hill House. Dylan talks about the overall feeling of the series and how it may be Flanagan's best work since Oculus. Dylan also watched...Shane Dawson's new YouTube documentary series, The Mind of Jake Paul (is that correct? Can someone make sure we got the correct information?) He talks about whether it can match up to a general documentary as well as any and every ethical boundary it may have crossed. Chris got out there to inform us on two Netflix original films, The Night Comes For Us and Illang: The Wolf Brigade. Can there be a world where a movie directed by Timo Tjahjanto can be better than a film directed by Kim Jee-woon? Quite possibly. Next week, Chris and Dylan decided to inform the other with some horror films they haven't seen. Chris chose Paranoiac and Happy Death Day for Dylan to see and Dylan chose Blood Feast and Possession for Chris to watch. Look out for our Halloween special!
