EPISODE 440: 28 YEARS LATER & BRING HER BACK

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!

Greetings from the 9th Circle of Hell!   Every now ad then the Lord of WGT Patreon (you should join btw) picks a movie for us to watch and review. And so it came to pass that Lord Hans bestowed us with a choice between the 1997 HBO movie adaptation of Stephen King's The Night Flier, or The Dread Central production, Benny Loves You. As you can see, we decided on the former. Worry not friends, as we of course make sure to address our reasoning behind this critical decision on the episode. Once this this little series of King adaptations is wrapped up we get into the 1980 Ken Russell directed Paddy Chayefsky written psych/scifi horror freakout of ALTERED STATES before weighing in on Ryan Coogler's 2025 genre-mashup runaway hit, SINNERS. “He was wearing a big cloak he was. Red as a fire engine inside, black as a woodchuck's asshole outside. And when it spread out behind him, it looked like a goddamn bat's wing it did. After talking to these crazy people all day every single day, their stories can get to you. Creep in like some fucking cancer and pretty soon, all this starts making sense.” It's the Who Goes There Podcast Episode 433!  Join our Patreon to support the show!

Why did we do this movie? Well, primarily because it was the only way to make Jorge watch it. Secondly because, to quote King Hans, "coffee cup smash face." Enjoy! King Pick selection for the 1997 Stephen King adaptation The Night Flier up next after this, followed by The Monkey, and yet another Stephen King adaptation after that with The Dead Zone (1983). Then, a very special selection after that before getting into Ryan Coogler's new genre mashup, SINNERS. "I'm sorry... but I don't think you know what a really bad day is! But you'll fucking learn. You're gonna fucking learn." It's the Who Goes There Podcast Episode #432! Join our Patreon to support the show!
