This week, Ron and Val close out their month of exploring horror films outside the Spanish language and Latin American realm by taking a look at the 2020 Italian folk horror film, Il Legame (The Binding). Directed by Domenico Emanuele de Feudis and starring Mía Maestro and Riccardo Scamarcio. Then Val jumps back on the Frankenstein train, making a stop at 1939's Son of Frankenstein to share her thoughts! Plus, Ron talks Blight by Emily Monosson and Val talks The Midnight Assassin by Skip Hollandsworth.
Our May 13th episode will be a discussion on the film, La Casa del Fin de los Tiempos (The House at the End of Time), directed by Alejandro Hidalgo and May 27th will be book club discussion time to talk all about The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia!
