On this new episode of Ghoul Pool we each discuss our thoughts on Brandon Cronenberg's long awaited, third feature length film Infinity Pool. Starring Mia Goth and Alexander Skarsgård with an excellent score by Tim Hecker.  James and Em Foster are enjoying an all-inclusive beach vacation in the fictional island of La Tolqa, when a fatal accident exposes the resort's perverse subculture of hedonistic tourism, reckless violence and surreal horrors. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ghoulpool/support

After a short hiatus the Ghouls are back to discuss the 2002 staple, The Ring, starring Naomi Watts and directed by Gore Verbinski. The Ring is actually an American remake of a 1998 Japanese film titled Ringu, and seems to be the film that started the boom in Japanese horror remakes. Shorty after the success of The Ring we started seeing films like The Grudge, One Missed Call, and Pulse all based on prior Japanese films. Was The Ring a banger, or were we just the perfect age for the film's intital release?  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ghoulpool/support

On this episode Derek, Nick, and Justin talk about the 2017 film Super Dark Times, written by Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski. This film is an excellent window into the life of teenage boys growing up in the late 90's, with a dark twist that pushes an already crumbling friendship to the brink. Directed by Kevin Phillips, this film is an absolute masterpiece in tone, audio, and cinematography that all culminates into a dreamlike world of nostalgia. With a cast of all unknown (at the time) actors that absolutely smash it out of the park, we cannot recommend this one enough. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ghoulpool/support
