Episode 332: The Horror Of Sadness (And Art The Clown)

October continues with horror both real and imagined this week as Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy review eight new movies. They include a reminder of Andrea Riseborough’s stirring portrayal of the road to alcoholic recovery (To Leslie) and Mila Kunis’ far less stirring turn as a survivor of multiple traumas (Luckiest Girl Alive). Shawn Mendes is the voice of a singing croc (Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile) and Ruben Ostlund skewers the voices of the nouveau riche in his Palme d’or winning satire (Triangle of Sadness). Donald Sutherland and his iPhone grant revenge in a new Stephen King film that is horror adjacent (Mr. Harrigan’s Phone) and Art the Clown is back (yet new to Erik) in a blood-drenched sequel (Terrifier 2). Also returning are the Cenobites in a new reimagining from David Bruckner (Hellraiser) and another David (O. Russell) tries out an ensemble comic mystery to warn of impending worldwide horror (Amsterdam). Erik and Steve also pay tribute to the loss of their friend and Movie Madness regular, Sergio Mims.
