    This week we take a look at Mike Flanagan's Hush, a 2016 film co-written and starring Kate Siegel. The film asks an important question: if a killer tries to murder a deaf mute woman in the woods, does he make a sound?

    We chat about the film's simple premise, but great execution absolutely stuffed with great setups and payoffs, the great theming, and John Gallagher Jr.'s creepy but stupid killer.

    Next week we have some bad dreams as we chat about Flanagan's Before I Wake!

    Discussion Question: What is your favorite use of the removal of certain sounds in films/tv?

Get in on the ground floor or live with regrets!

These two are not slowing down. Matt & Scott have a rapport grown from years of friendship. I could listen to them all day long. Their analysis is consistently insightful.

I discovered them during the pandemic when they were recording the first season of their Kingslingers podcast, now I follow all of their content.

Quality AND Quantity?!?!

This show is a solid follow-up to the stellar Kingslingers podcast (among other Doof podcasts) right out of the gate. Thank goodness they promise nearly 100 planned episodes! Matt and Scott bring their comforting chemistry and energy to a deep-dive into a subject they enjoy. I have a hard time sitting still long enough to watch movies, but this show makes me make the effort. Can't wait to watch the rest of Flanagan's work and read the books many are based on. Welcome back ear-friends!
