The time has come to say farewell, each moment we’ve spent sure has been swell. We’ve laughed, we’ve sang, we’ve seen some flicks, but mostly we’ve just talked about [male flesh meat]. We be reviewing two films before taking a long, much needed hiatus; addiction drama ‘Beautiful Boy’ (Timothée Chalamet, Steve Carell, Maura Tierney, Amy Ryan), and Luca Guadagnino’s update of the Italian horror film, ‘Suspiria’ (Dakota Johnson, Tilda Swinton, Chloe Grace Moretz, Mia Goth).

Tis the season to run down a list of the highest grossing horror films of all time and throw some love at John Carpenter’s soundtrack work. You bet we mention ‘Your Highness’.

Darren gives ‘The House with a Clock in Its Walls’ a box office boost, just to check out the IMAX 3D release of Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’, and Anthony skips town again. The world’s greatest Erik Estrada joke gets highlighted.

We also caught the biopic based on the catpure and trial of ‘Adolp Eichman’, the monster referred to as the architect of the holocaust.

We pit Oscar Isaac and Domhnall Gleeson against each other in a match of beauty, refuse to fall in love, and frequent a seedy theater.
