Katie, Bridget, and special guest/writer/director/producer/prop master Chris Messineo close their eyes and squeeze real hard as they re-watch the movie: The Strange Dark! Which, if you didn't piece it together already, was created by Chris himself! Come along as we meet Susan, the best actress by the end of the movie, who has to decide whether to trust her husband Edgar or instead trust the scary agents who showed up to her door and are menacing. But trusting Edgar isn't so easy, since he reveals he's stolen data that can help him see the future because of sci-fi exposition and reverse DejaVu - which is actually a real thing guys we swear! When Edgar predicts how the night will end, our characters end up getting tangled up in Lord of the Rings references, witty banter, and some wild prop effects that leave you wanting to rewatch the movie for all the Easter eggs and clues! We also get to hear all the inside scoop about what it takes to make a movie, how sometimes the location for the movie hasn't had their electric bill paid in years (oops), and how important intimacy coordinators are. Chris did the damn thing and he deserves all the hype! Released in 2024, the movie was written and directed by Chris Messineo and stars Nili Bassman, Caleb Scott, Carmen Borla, Bates Wilder, John Beckwith, Carson Jean Holley, and Athan Sporek.
