Back to Maine and some poor choices as we discuss the 2019 remake of Pet Sematary.

I submit that you cannot as that cat could be called anything and Gage is both barely a name and barely a person.

Apologies if there are speed issues with this episode (half was recorded in high speed – unclear how) but hopefully it’s not terrible to listen to – maybe shades of chipmunk?

2019-06-201h 17The LatecomersThe Dead Zone (1983)Episode Notes
Lemuel and Amity watched the Dead Zone and marvel at a pre “Christopher Walken” Christopher Walken and the passion with which he can say “Sarah.” We also manage to completely forget to have any conversation about the title and what it means – which makes the title so meta (Psst – it’s the part of the future he can’t see – the part that can change).

2019-06-061h 24The LatecomersCujo (1983)Episode Notes
Lemuel and Amity watched Cujo this week and animal lovers beware - you’re gonna hate this dog. Critical consensus was massively split on this one, which we don’t quite get. Amity only found three problems: the portrayal of advertising, aspects of property value and why two minor characters were both named Roger. But she was scared, and isn’t that the point?

2019-05-301h 16The LatecomersThe Shining (1980)Episode Notes
Lemuel and Amity tackle the 1980 classic horror film The Shining and talk casting, directorial abuse, Stephen King and black people, and how a movie can be a great film while failing to have any type of character arc. Lemuel discusses the music of Krzysztof Penderecki and Amity talks about the merits of a croquet mallet over an ax.

Amity and Lemuel watched all three hours of the first miniseries made of Stephen King’s work – ‘Salem’s Lot. One strong woman and one mess, one old vampire and several baby vampires, two strong jawlines and James Mason – it’s a good time and most of it holds up well – minus the track suit lingerie and one of the monster designs. Listen to see what other details we unearth.

Among the devastating explosions and Annette Benning’s several names and motivations, we find a pretty entertaining movie? It’s largely because Denzel is, in fact, the greatest actor of all time.

Amity is left aggravated by a lack of understanding of linguistics and ladies and Lemuel is just perplexed. Why is this the format? Why is there a music video in the middle?

Listen through the violent murder, a treatise on what is art even, a discussion of can we divide the art from the artist – and should we – and a quaint 70’s notion that photography isn’t even art to begin with. We get a very young Tommy Lee Jones, a fluffy haired Rene Auberjonois, a surprisingly sexy Brad Dourif, and an astoundingly unsexy Raul Julia, and we see it all through Faye Dunnaway’s enormous and expressive eyes.
