2007 Directed By Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza Starring Manuela Velasco, Ferran Terraza and Jorge-Yamam Serrano Angela Vidal (Manuela Velasco) is a young eager reporter assigned to spend a night following a group of emergency workers with her camera crew. The night starts out light hearted and jovial but the mood quickly changes when they get called to an apartment building to assistant with an elderly woman trapped in her home. This is an effective found footage horror film that is strengthened by believable performances and gruesome makeup. This is virus/zombie story in the school of 28 Days Later and Night of The Living Dead. If those two films seem to be in opposition to one another, its true but this film takes the infection approach to the zombie story but instead of making it a pandemic it limits our story to a confined space. The first few minutes of the film feels somewhat amateurish and I'm fairly certain this is by design. It meanders through the first cou

A look back at Jurassic Park, the groundbreaking decision to create digital dinosaurs, and the impact it had on the future of movies.

It's guilty until proven innocent on our latest episode, as we plead our cases in a couple of courtrooms. We offer a flimsy defense for two films where family defend their own in a court of law with My Cousin Vinny and Conviction, but in true War Machine vs. War Horse fashion, one will fry. First though a little pre-trial hearing with the new release The Judge. GUEST: Peter from Hydrate Level Four and The Flash Pod joins us to talk Academy Award conspiracy theories and where to record for the best podcasting acoustics.

A behind-the-scenes look at the making of the Blair Witch Project and its impact on the future of movies - from sparking a found footage genre boom to its innovative use of Internet marketing.

On this episode we talk about girls... who are gone. And if you think that was clever, in true War Machine vs. War Horse fashion we cleverly found two other films about women gone missing, simply by searching for two films that both have the word "vanish" in the title. Thankfully for our listeners, this episode goes a little more in depth than that as this may be the best triple feature we have ever presented on our podcast. This being our 50th episode and all, we thought we'd treat ourselves and went with 1938's THE LADY VANISHES & 1988's THE VANISHING, followed by David Fincher's much anticipated GONE GIRL.

2013 Directed by Jim Mickle Starring Bill Sage, Ambyr Childers and Julia Garner “We Are What We Are” is such an incredibly deliberate, unhurried film you might forget that you are watching a horror film. This is a good thing. Director Jim Mackle’s film is in no hurry, clearly laying out that trouble lies ahead but we will take our sweet time getting there. The film is both beautiful and unnerving at the same time. I was reminded of the painting American Gothic, it’s somehow visually alluring while possessing qualities that are disturbing. The Parker family, well, something just isn’t right about them. It’s hard to immediately pinpoint but something is clearly wrong. They live in a rural community that feels out of step with modern society. The film opens with Emma (the mother of the family) walking to butchers market/convince store that would have felt perfectly at home in the 1890’s. After leaving the store she collapses and dies, setting into motion a cha

Dan Harmon (the creator of Community) hosts a weekly podcast at Nerdmelt Comics in Los Angeles.  Harmontown is ostensibly about Dan Harmon taking his podcast on tour after he was fired from Community but the real story is that of the shows dungeon master Spencer. He is simultaneously the voice of the audience and the voice from the stage. A misfit who wanted nothing more than to play D&D with one of his heroes. Harmon is one of the most honest performers I've seen. His material seems to come from a place of both self hatred and adulation, an insecure ego maniac who is self aware enough to realize his greatest struggle is to come to terms with the fact that he got everything he wanted. He is a brilliant writer who is known for his anger and public outbursts but if you look at the people he surrounds himself with and the shows he has created you get a much fuller picture of the man.  A sensitive man whose feels the pain of the world around him while trying to find a place
