Really Awful Movies: Ep 305 – The Mist

On this week’s episode of the Really Awful Movies Podcast, Stephen King’s The Mist.

Much like John Carpenter’s The Fog, an inclement weather system has residents of a small Maine town perplexed. Residents witness a parade of military trucks heading into town, and soon they find the weather enveloping them all.

A few of the townsfolk end up hunkering down in a local grocery store, and soon are at one another’s throats as to what to do. This is compounded by their being under attack by creatures hiding in the mist.

One of the better Stephen King adaptations, this one was directed by Frank Darabont, a veteran of classics like The Shawshank Redemption. He clearly knows his King and this one is somewhat inspired by Night of the Living Dead, as well as Alien.

Really Awful Movies: Ep 304 – Pathology

This week on the Really Awful Movies Podcast, a solo effort! This is a first (and probably a last, but you never know). On this episode, an underwhelming flick that had a lot of promise and a lot of potential – Pathology.

Forensic pathologist residents are doing their rounds. Or is it interns? Always get those two confused.

Anyway, they are a boisterous, hard-parting group….and utterly lacking in scruples/morality.

The team starts to get talking about committing the perfect murder, and try to test one another’s abilities by actually going through with the killings and testing their classmates. Quite a premise, eh?

It’s a pretty great idea for a flick, and the performances are pretty good too. Milo Ventimiglia is the lead, and Alyssa Milano is the girlfriend.
