Another holiday, another killing joke about the horrors of celebrating the second year of this podcast. Given how dear The Faculty, Scream, and especially Dawson’s Creek are to me, how has this Kevin Williamson script held up 20 years after the fact? Spoiler: There aren’t filmic fireworks, but I definitely appreciate Scary Movie more now.

Two Cents 065: VR Tech n’ Spec (Feat. Greg Krish)
The episode in which I finally have someone on that knows what VR is so I begin by asking him lots of things about working in the new medium, SanDisk created a 1TB SD card, Palmer Luckey has a fall from grace, Dalian Wanda is teaming with Sony on their tentpoles, music streaming is equally as profitable as sales now, AT&T’s DirecTV net neutrality no-no’s, Pokemon GO and Snapchat’s role in AR’s adoption, and the future of advertising/marketing in the VR age. Plus, Dawson’s Creek, VCRs, lactose intolerance, virtual reality’s lack of content & governance, parents not understanding the dangers of early VR exposure, VR gambling coming to casinos, and almost no film conversation at all.

Debt to Cinema 017: The Gift (2000)
Despite being a Sam Raimi fan I’ve pushed this movie off for years. I knew very little about this supernatural thriller outside of it being about Billy Bob’s mom, but only one thing mattered, and Harold and Kumar taught me that.
