EPISODE 443: WEAPONS

Welcome to the new listeners and welcome back to everyone else!  This episode we discuss WEAPONS, writer/director Zach Cregger's much anticipated follow up to his 2022 breakout, Barbarian.  It involves a small town being ripped apart by the baffling disappearance of 17 children following a mysterious school tragedy, and...to say more would be a disservice. The film is currently available to stream on HBOMAX (or whatever we're calling it this week). "I can make your parents hurt themselves. I can make them hurt each other. I can make them eat each other if I want to", it's The Who Goes There Podcast episode 443! Join our Patreon to support the show!

Well, well, well, here we go again. This episode we review the 2025 indie supernatural body horror film, TOGETHER. If the name and trailer weren't a hint, the movie traffics in themes of codependency, the blurring of self and identity, and commitment anxiety. Some of you may have seen it already, because you're dorks like us. But what did we in our collective wisdom think? You must listen and find out. "I think something's happening to us. The pole, the thirst in your bones. I can't explain it but, we're sick.  Well, you know, complacency can sometimes simply be harmony. We spend our lives in search of the other half. If you think you found that, don't be so quick to let it go", it's the Who Goes There Podcast Episode 422!  Join our Patreon to support the show!

Halloween doesn't have to be over. This episode we review 2025 foreign breakout, THE UGLY STEPSISTER. As a joint production from the Norwegian Film Institute, the Polish Film Institute, the Swedish Film Institute, and the Danish Film Institute, you know it's a good time. There's social satire, dark comedy, and body horror to spare. Join our Patreon to support the show! As a patreon member you get the episodes early, bonus content, and access to our Discord.

Greetings haomies! As we march onward into techno/christofascist hell, this episode we review not one, but two of the year’s most highly anticipated genre films, 28 YEARS LATER and BRING HER BACK.   For those counting, it’s been 18 years since the 2007 sequel to 2002’s modern horror classic, 28 Days Later. In the years since, Danny Boyle has won an oscar and Alex Garland graduated from screenwriter to becoming a formidable director (and show creator) in his own right. What’d these two come up with for the long awaited sequel, 28 YEARS LATER, and what did the three of us think? It’s on Netflix currently if you’ve yet to see it or would like to give it a rewatch.   BRING HER BACK is the follow up to the film debut of brothers Danny and Michael Philipou, writer/directors of 2022’s breakout A24 horror hit, Talk To Me. How did the Brothers Philipou, of former youtube horror/comedy RackaRacka video fame, do in their sophomore effort? Bring Her Back just became available to stream on HBOMAX.  "Some people believe the spirit stays in the body for months after death...the more you kill, the easier it gets. Don't feel bad about it. The infection takes away their minds -- it's got no mind, it's got no soul." It's The Who Goes There Podcast Episode 440! Join our Patreon to support the show!

This ep we review the sixth film (and first in 14 years) of the Final Destination franchise, FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES. Of course, this gives us an opportunity to rank our favorite kills in the franchise too. "For the 1,500th time, no one gives a shit about your stupid little death curse, okay? So take a hint and leave us alone because death's not coming for our family." It's The Who Goes There Podcast Episode 439! Join our Patreon to support the show!

This episode takes us into the despair and absurdity of dementia and old age in 2025's THE RULE OF JENNY PEN.  If you're going to explore the psychological horrors of mortality and aging it certainly helps to have actors like Jon Lithgow and Geoffrey Rush. The film is currently available to watch on Shudder. "The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry", it's The Who Goes There Podcast Episode 438!!!   Join our Patreon to support the show!

Welcome back! This ep we review Ryan Coogler's 2025 genre-hopping hit, SINNERS, and a whole bunch of other stuff.  "There are legends of people... born with the gift of making music so true, it can pierce the veil between life and death. Conjuring spirits from the past... and the future. You keep dancing with the devil... one day, he's gonna follow you home." It’s the Who Goes There Podcast Episode 437!!!

Drugs! Hallucinogens! Sensory deprivation! Ancient shamanic rituals! Religious angst! Psychosexual tension! Cellular memory! Consciousness expansion! The collective unconscious! The primal self! Practical effects! Body horror! Psychedelic nightmare visions of crucified beasts floating in the air! BOOBS! (That one was for Matt).  This episode we get into the trippy scifi horror of Ken Russell's 1980 cult classic, ALTERED STATES...and a bunch of other stuff.  "We all live with it. That unbearable terror is what makes us such singular creatures. We hide from it, we succumb to it, mostly we defy it! We build fragile little structures to keep it out. We love, we raise families, we work, we make friends. We write poems...Well, l think that that true self, that original self, that first self, is a real, quantifiable thing, tangible and incarnate, and I'm going to find the fucker."  It's the Who Goes There Podcast Episode 436!

This episode wraps up a trifecta of Stephen King adaptations, as we review 1983's THE DEAD ZONE, which has quite the pedigree, Cronenberg! Walken! King! The movie also features Martin Sheen as a corrupt, dangerously opportunistic politician who exploits populism to gain authoritarian power and could hold the fate of the world in his hands if he isn't stopped. Chilling stuff, thankfully we don't have anything like that going on. "THE ICE, IS GONNA BREAK!" It's the Who Goes There Podcast Episode 435! Join our Patreon to support the show!

Alright haomies...this episode we review Oz Perkins' film adaption of the Stephen King short story, THE MONKEY. And of course we get into it about a bunch of other films and non sequiturs. Pre-show which is available exclusively to our Patreon members has even more unedited and off the wall discussions, including our experience seeing a charming band called Chat Pile here in sunny San Diego. Up next we wrap up a little series of King adaptations with THE DEAD ZONE (1983). "Everybody dies. Some of us peacefully and in our sleep, and some of us... horribly. And that's life. Did you know that 27 percent of all English-speaking people will either say 'horseshit' or 'holy shit' before they die? Now, it's funny, because death is the one big thing that'll happen to all of us, and yet we still can't help but be somehow surprised by it." It's the Who Goes There Podcast Episode 433!
