Forgive the delayed release. We’ve been on vacation in Halsingland, and unfortunately, Mister Watson and Channy Dreadful were our two Oompa Loompas who didn’t make it back home. (They were Oompa Loompa Doopity Doo’ed.) But Jay of the Dead and Projectile Varmint are here for Horror Movie Weekly, Episode 142, where we welcome back impromptu guest “Lonely” from LonelyHorrorClub.com and Lonely Horror Club on Instagram! We brought Lonely on to help us tackle our Feature Review of Ari Aster’s barn-burner, Midsommar (2019)! (This will be a full-blown, Spoiler-filled review.) We also have some magnificent prize give-aways, courtesy of master artist Bonnie Bozell! And of course, we also have some Micro Horror Movie Reviews that include “Clock” (2023), “Soft and Quiet” (2022), and “Prey” (2021). Remember, you are welcome to call our voicemail number and share your thoughts: (801) 899-9798. Join us!
Note: This episode was recorded on (I think) June 7, 2023, and was released on July 9, 2023.
This weekly Horror movie podcast brings you one recent Horror movie review every Sunday. (We’re defining “recent” as any Horror movie released within the last five years or the current year; so now that it’s 2023, we’ll be covering Horror films from 2018 to the present.) And we always reveal next week’s pick at the end of every show, so you can watch along with us and be prepared for the following episode. Join us, and thanks for listening!
