EPISODE 305 - The Theatrical Release




Horroretc Podcast show

Summary: Grab your popcorn and have a seat with us for our theatrical release episode: four new box office films spanning horror, fantasy, sci-fi, action and comedy. It's an old-school format show where we spend some time getting caught up on our comings and goings over the past few weeks including a discussion about Roku and the wonders of streaming media alternatives. The first title up is of course the highly anticipated Man of Steel which led to unexpected positions between your hosts. Anthony's negative reactions countered by Ted's support? What kind of upside world is this? Did Zack Snyder offer what fans have been yearning for with Superman in his patented visual style or does he just end up pissing all over a cherished mythology? Next we have a take on the controversial World War Z. Another devisive movie that has been held up to potentially unacheivable source material. It was a different approach from Max Brooks book but does it work on its own? In the truest horror outing of the week we discuss The Purge with its enormously high concept idea. Does it exceed its suspension of disbelief requirements and deliver a cracking home invasion story? Finally, we caught the apocalypse comedy This Is The End. Hilarious with some good scares or juvenile nonsense? Man of Steel spoilers from 27:17 to 44:10 All these questions are answered in a fun open forum chat session as we get back into the podcasting groove.
