It’s Alien Week on Pod Sematary! Chris & Kelsey intercept a distress signal and then never make a good decision ever again.

The Classic Film: Alien (1979)
"After a space merchant vessel perceives an unknown transmission as a distress call, its landing on the source moon finds one of the crew attacked by a mysterious lifeform, and they soon realize that its life cycle has merely begun” (IMDb.com). Like… it’s Alien, dawg. What are you even doing?

The Modern Film: Prometheus (2012)
"Following clues to the origin of mankind, a team finds a structure on a distant moon, but they soon realize they are not alone” (IMDb.com). So maybe it has a “Mystery Box” problem. Maybe the plot is only propelled by characters making the absolute worst decisions at every turn. But there’s a lot there to enjoy and it’s certainly not as bad as everyone made it out to be.

098 - The Craft (1996) & The Witch (2015) →

August 19, 2019 by Pod Sematary

CW: Rape, Suicide, Cutting, Racism, Mental Illness

It’s Witchy Woman Week on Pod Sematary! Chris & Kelsey join the weirdos and live deliciously in an episode that's worth selling your soul!

The Classic Film: The Craft (1996)
“A newcomer to a Catholic prep high school falls in with a trio of outcast teenage girls who practice witchcraft, and they all soon conjure up various spells and curses against those who anger them.” (IMDb.com). The Craft was pretty iconic back when our hosts were in school, but how has this goth classic aged over the years?

The Modern Film: The Witch (2015)
“A family in 1630s New England is torn apart by the forces of witchcraft, black magic, and possession” (IMDb.com). Is this critical-darling-cum-popular-dud more than just "what if The Crucible but spoopy?"
