Venice and TIFF 2025 Recap

It’s that time of year again! Throughout the entire month of October, Time Sensitive has been devoted to blood, guts, and the BEST classic and under-the-radar horror films, and this week, we bring the 2025 edition of the Festival to a close with a dark ornithological fairytale. That’s right, this episode is going to the birds. Literally.

This week’s episode is not a profile of a traditional horror film, per se, but one which utilizes a conventional horror trope in a new way. If you could switch bodies with someone, would you do it? Maybe Greg Jardin’s It’s What’s Inside can make you change your mind?

It’s that time of year again! Throughout the entire month of October, Time Sensitive will be devoted to blood, guts, and the BEST classic and under-the-radar horror films. We won’t be profiling a single film in this episode. We won’t be profiling two films in this episode. We will be profiling and comparing all three films of the 28 Days Later franchise, which span over two decades, and will continue to thrill audiences in the coming years.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media 

“Enduring night. A spectre of death. He spreads his shadow, and he’s coming.” An intertitle from a 1922 film reads: “Nosferatu. Does this word not sound like the deathbird calling your name at midnight? Beware you never say it—for then the pictures of life will fade to shadows, haunting dreams will climb forth from your heart and feed on your blood.” This week, we continue our seventh annual Freaky Film Festival with a gothic horror remake. Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media 

It’s that time of year again! Throughout the entire month of October, Time Sensitive will be devoted to blood, guts, and the BEST classic and under-the-radar horror films.This week, we kick off our seventh annual Freaky Film Festival with a ghost story, a whodunnit, a jump-scare freakout, a twisty slow-burn psychothriller, and a revenge saga all wrapped into one taut little horror film. It incorporates haunted artifacts, supernatural powers, a thoughtfully considered locale, a creepy orderly, a man with a glass eye, and a deeply fascinating and unsettling lead character. Oh, and it’s Irish. It’s Damian McCarthy’s Oddity. Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media

Every time Sam and Ian review an under-the-radar movie on this show, we read the distributor’s own stylized plot description—likely drafted by a team of marketing professionals—before providing our own. And oftentimes, the PR language from the studio fails to accurately describe the movie, leading us to believe we watched something totally different. This week, we decided to really play that up in our version of Brass Monkey’s “Poorly Explained Movies Game.’Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media

Today, we’re rewinding the tape to Munich, 1972, on the 53rd anniversary of “the decisive moment that forever changed media coverage and continues to impact live news today.” It’s a story of sport turned spectacle, where broadcasters became first responders and one billion people watched history unfold live. Grab your headsets and roll camera. It’s the day terror went live. It’s Tim Fehlbaum’s 94-minute bullet train about media ethics titled September 5.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media  

This week, Nicolas Cage is The Surfer. But don’t let that fool you. He’s still unhinged, bloody, tense, gun-wielding, manic, fabulously bonkers, and gayly attacking locals with tire irons, rats, and assorted signage. He’s a weirdo losing his shit. Shock! It’s Lorcan Finnigan’s The Surfer.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media
