Hey Andrew Quinn, @darrenmooney.bsky.social & @joeykeogh.bsky.social of The 250! FINALLY saw Halloween Ends & I agree with you. It's a big swing, little long, but brilliant. Misunderstood by detractors! Unsettling daylight kills, too.
Thank you kindly.

Yer welcs! One of my faves. Agree about third acting being underdeveloped.
Looove to sit in a session down the right if it's a good fit.

Not done yet, but I keep wanting to yell, "The abandoned wheelchair in Session 9 is an homage to the demonic wheelchair in The Changeling (1980) with George C Scott!"
But maybe the boyos will get there...;)

Digging @troyescamilla.bsky.social & @thescreamqueer.bsky.social on the Dark Night of the Podcast, Episode 161, discussing Session 9 (2001). Podbean.
One of the finest character-as-setting flicks with a robust cast.

Why the classic Canadian novel Bear remains controversial — and relevant | CBC Radio Marian Engel’s Bear is one of Canada’s most controversial novels. But experts say it’s also one of the most daring and enduring.

Awesome. Great to hear from fab newcomer Morgan Beem.
