Episode 128: Summer Horror: A Perfect Getaway (2009)/ 'River' review

Special guest Adrian Amador joins us as Summer Horror takes us to Hawaii. It may not be horror (it may not even be summer), but 2009's A Perfect Getaway has strong summertime vibes to go with his A list cast. We also talk about confusing sci-fi drama 'River'.

Things start with Dune's two and a half hour runtime. Movies have gotten longer over the years, but is that an excuse? We also talk about the minimalist approach to the poster and the importance of highlighting the entire cast. 

The Cannes Film Festival has seen a bevy of interesting movies and news. One of the most interesting things to come out of the fest is the word of a possible new franchise. We discuss whether we would see and if it is the most depressing movie series ever.

Sticking with theme of sad movies, the four review one of the saddest movies of the year. River is a supposed science fiction drama. It is filled with bad writing, a nonsensical plot twist, and stilted acting. It does not get much sadder than that.

A Perfect Getaway from 2009 will stand out among the movies covered during Summer Horror Month. It has a cast filled with big budget stars and does not have many horror elements. It's serial killer reveal may be a little too obvious, but does that prevent it from being fun?
