HALLOWEEN 2024 SERIES, MOVIE 2 of 3

Andrew and special guest, Jon Bewley, examine their takes on the meaning of the bone-chilling mega-hit American horror remake from 2002, The Ring. Directed by Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean, Rango), this thrilling and ceaselessly scary modern classic will forever remind us that "what's down the well comes up the bucket."

Andrew and Jon dive deep into such topics as interpretations of what the unique character Samara Morgan represents, the origin of the Japanese title "Ringu," what about the film is so scary, a debate about the look of the film, the story's association with technology, and much more.

IT'S TIME TO WATCH THE TAPE!!!

HALLOWEEN 2024 SERIES, MOVIE 1 of 3

Andrew and special guest, writer and director Jesse Mendelsohn, navigate through the maze of the stunning and terrifying 1997 indie sci-fi horror classic, Cube. The directorial feature debut of legendary sci-fi/thriller conceptualist Vincenzo Natali, this one-of-a-kind chiller, shot with just one single set, creates multiple dimensions of terror, suspense, and enthralling character study…but there might just be no way to escape the greatest trap of all: ourselves!!

Andrew and Jesse have a ball (or cube) discussing the film's concepts and meaning, covering such topics as what exactly is so “scary” about the movie, the many allegorical meanings and implications of the story, Jesse and Andrew’s favorite traps and what they say about human beings, the violence of the movie, how Cube directly captures the American gun problem and other issues of the day, and much more.

IT’S TIME TO FIND THE MEANING OF THE MAZE!!!
