In this episode, we continue our October celebration with more films set on or around Halloween. This time Michael pops back in for a special guest appearance, bringing with him our last film for the set. So join us as we dive back into the world of Jeremy Saulnier to check out his debut feature Murder Party from 2007. Jason celebrates the film’s pacing. Dustin finds appreciation for the kernels of thematic elements that become key in many of the director’s films. Michael praises the film’s comedic timing and execution on a tight budget. But before all that, we gush about our shared experience seeing Claudio Simonetti’s Goblin perform live. And so much more!
