Kicking off an unhinged October with this pairing from the depths of my brain. Two movies about paying for parents’ sins while everyone else tries to tell your story for you — it’s Sophie’s Choice vs. Scream.
Is This Real Life: Pan's Labyrinth vs A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors
Two movies about kids dealing with adult themes via fantasy — it's Pan's Labyrinth vs A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
Call the Shots: Weird Science vs Deadly Friend
Boxed In: Saw vs Red Eye
Original Sin: A Nightmare on Elm Street vs Urban Legend
Two movies about being punished for sins you did not commit and also the power of myth — it’s A Nightmare on Elm Street vs Urban Legend.
P.S. Here's the fantastic A Nightmare on Elm Street Oral History from Vulture that I reference during the episode!
Whodunit: Knives Out vs Scream 3
I unravel two movies where an entitled man will stop at nothing to get what he believes is his, including framing the woman he thinks took it from him with murder — it's Knives Out vs Scream 3.
