On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are just trying to get people to believe that there’s something after us, damn it! We watched the 2022 film from Parker Finn, Smile.
Once you witness its horror, it’s stuck with you… forever and ever. Unfortunately, that “forever and ever” is only something like a week at most, but yeah, it’s sticking around to torment you.
Double unfortunately, the “it” in that previous paragraph isn’t something like a delicious bowl of ice cream. No, it’s a repressed horror from the depths of your mind. It’s reliving trauma over and over.
It’s also a troubling concept for a film, with an ending that some (including us) may justifiably call irresponsible. It’s a rare film—perfect for this Halloween season, but also a contentious watch.
Continue this month of spooky episodes with some popcorn in your lap, hopefully all of the lights on in your home, and a big ol’ smile stitched across your face.
