Ep. 05-34: Paranormal Activity (2007) & REC (2007)

Welcome to our last double-feature of the season, a double dose of classic found footage films. Neither of these films is perfect, but we feel the lesser popular one far exceeds its counterpart. Join us, as we discuss the pros and cons of both films, including the budget, screenplay (or lack thereof), pacing, cast, and scares! Listen, as Johnny Has the Keys plays voyeur to both a haunted house AND a zombie-infected apartment building.

Ep. 05-31 The Wandering Earth (2019)

The sun is dying out. People all around the world build giant planet thrusters to move Earth out of its orbit and sail Earth to a new star system. Yet the 2500-year journey comes with unexpected dangers, and in order to save humanity, a group of young people in this age of a wandering Earth fight hard for the survival of humankind.

Time for our second foreign-language pick of the season. The Wandering Earth (2019) is unique because not only is it from China, but it is also enormously popular. Join us as we discuss the pros and cons behind the action-packed film, including the cast, the rapid-paced narrative, and the mind-blowing CGI effects. Listen as Johnny Has the Keys attempts to protect Earth rather than abandon her, sailing her away to another solar system for future generations.
