We can't get away from Spielberg. This may be another Steven Stinker, but is the general public just not ready for a movie all about aliens and Emily Blunt's creepy voice? We dive into what's most likely Steven Spielberg's last science fiction film. Lots of plot to chew on. This is a thick movie, but does it actually amount to anything? Or is it too saccharine for its own good?Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!Check out https://shop.theotherhalfpodcast.com/ to help support the show and get your room some cool art!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Another Spooktacular ends, and what better way to close it out than with Halloween Ends—the final movie in the reboot trilogy. This time, we're talking about Corey and how he's madly in love with Michael Myers. Apparently, all it takes to make someone completely unhinged is to stare deep into Michael's creepy eyes.Expect plenty of face trauma and heavy horny energy coursing through this movie. Original final girl Laurie Strode is busy writing a memoir about surviving Michael a million times, which naturally makes the entire town hate her. Meanwhile, Laurie's granddaughter, Allison, has to navigate (instantly???) falling in love with a soon-to-be serial killer. Plus, there's a radio host who just has so, so many opinions. Will anyone shut him up?The movie has a lot of threads it needs to wrap up. But as two people who hadn't seen the second movie in the franchise (or even the first, in one case), it actually does a great job catching you up on the who's who of Haddonfield.Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!Check out https://shop.theotherhalfpodcast.com/ to help support the show and get your room some cool art!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Oh yes, Pinocchio Unstrung is finally a movie just for us. This is strangely enough the second Pinocchio horror movie we watched for the podcast. Maybe, just maybe, it might actually be better. Can the folks who brought you Pooh: Blood and Honey actual make a compelling horror movie?Well considering they're using an absolute ton of practical effects, that truly buys the movie a lot of brownie points with this podcast. But the most important question coming from these Pinocchio heads, what liberties do they take? Is this actually a good adaptation? Where is the blue fairy? Is Jimny Cricket a good guy?Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!Check out https://shop.theotherhalfpodcast.com/ to help support the show and get your room some cool art!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Continuing our Gen Z horror trip we watch It Ends. A movie that's all about life and existential dread. But mostly it's about if you must choose two options to defend you and the rest come and attack you which would you choose? 10,000 rats, 50 hawks, five gorillas, or one guy with a gun?Great question in fact let's ignore how the world that we're forced to live in seems to be becoming a more dark and hostile place to live every day and discuss theoretical questions that will never happen in our lift times.Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!Check out https://shop.theotherhalfpodcast.com/ to help support the show and get your room some cool art!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Happy Halloween Spooktacular and we are starting off with a BANG! Obsession is one of the most profitable movies ever released and hugely popular. But does this little indie flick deserve the attention it gets?Join us this week as we talk about the dynamic between Bear and Nikki and how the gender roles are flipped. I don't need to write more of a description about this movie huh?

Legend of the Guardians was a movie with maybe one of the longest titles of all time. I'm not even going to write it out in this description because it would make it too long; SEO be damned. Planned to watch this movie back when Sam Neil passed away, which now feels like forever ago. Regardless this movie is one of the first movies where Zach Snyder we feel wanted to show he had range. He wanted to say, "I don't just make movies about shirtless men who kick people into holes and super hero movies! I can make movies for kids too."Well he did. And the movie is honestly not that bad. It's maybe a little convoluted at times, but the message is clear: Being a Nazi is bad. The other message we learned from this movie is that having Owl City make a song for a movie about owls is way, way, way too on the nose.Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!Check out https://shop.theotherhalfpodcast.com/ to help support the show and get your room some cool art!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

After finishing up the Maze Runner series, we can't get enough of Wes Ball. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes was his latest movie before he gears up to make the Legend of Zelda movie. What weirdly seems like the start of a new trilogy, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes takes place after all of the apes have already established colonies on earth.Caesar from the first three movies is long dead, but his legacy lives on. The movie wrestles with what it means to follow a leader and how iconic leader's messages and morals can become distorted over time.Wes Ball, he may be cooking over here.Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!Check out https://shop.theotherhalfpodcast.com/ to help support the show and get your room some cool art!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
