Kicking off Spooktober a little early, is David Cronenberg’s first body horror movie in like twenty years.

This is the closest to “back on-track and sounding like a movie podcast” we’ve managed to get in a while, and after some creative editing, I think it also manages to be a pretty entertaining one as well.

This is easily the most in-studio drama we’ve had since The Return of Adam. If you have ever wondered why you’ve never heard a show where Brooke and Adam both co-host, let your questions begin to be answered in this spooky, strange episode.

Well, here we are, back for a new round of Spooktacular podcasting! We couldn’t fit in both of the movies we really wanted to, so stay tuned for Satoshi Kon’s Perfect Blue in the next couple of days.

Takashi Miike’s Audition and Perfect Blue were suggestions from listener Eric, the first listener to ever write in to the show (which you can do as well by e-mailing me at Brian@Candidpodcast.com). Audition wound up being pretty divisive, and I think we forgot to actually talk about the plot for possibly the first time ever on the show. Whoops! Maybe we try and do a better job of it on the Perfect Blue episode!

I said I would plug Jon’s Twitch presence where he DJs, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do:

Did you all know that you can’t embed Twitch clips without a plugin? Did you know that even the $50/year WordPress plan doesn’t support plugins? You need the business plan.

I forgot to post this before. Whoops. We talk about the scariest movie I’ve seen since It Follows, the enigmatic and deeply sad Lake Mungo, directed by a man no one seems to know how to find, and starring a bunch of wonderful actors you’ve never heard of, which is what makes them such great fits for this sort of film.

Thanks for stopping over to the blog. We’d love it if you shared the show with your friends if you like what we do. You can follow us on Twitter @GBUpodcast, and you can get in touch with us there, or by e-mailing me at Brian@candidpodcast.com. Don’t forget to rate and review the podcast on your podcatcher of choice if you can, like Apple Podcasts, but don’t forget you can find the show all over the place, including Spotify and Stitcher. We’re supposed to be listed on Google Play, but who the hell even knows, you know? Apple and Spotify are your safest bets.

I’m excited to finally get this thing recorded and released, and I’m even more excited to announce that I seem to have identified and resolved the issue of audio interference that has plagued a couple of our recent episodes. It seems to have been caused by some electrical cables being intertwined with the XLRs connecting our mics to the audio interface.

On Jon’s suggestion, and later vote, I was finally sat down to watch Jacob’s Ladder, the movie that, among other boasts, inspired the aesthetic and experience of the Silent Hill series. And what did we think?

This movie sucked. It’s a sequel to another bad movie we covered two years ago.

Jon, Mike and I saw It: Chapter 2 this weekend, and did some podcasting about it. I’m afraid something funny is going on between our headphones and the headphone amplifier I use. I don’t know if it’s the amp or the 3.5mm to 1/4″ adapters I’m using, but things are very finnicky.

I want to address something I said on the show and am still debating with myself about going back and removing if I can. I don’t feel good about the way I described the character Beverly’s abuse at the hand of her father. Content warning about that sort of thing before I continue.
