Infested

Oh, no doubt.

Yeah, and what was that other one? There was a French spider movie called Infested from a couple years ago.

Oh, I haven't seen that one.

Where, again, this is more like a sci-fi spider type of thing, where it's like, well, these don't look all that real.

Well, at 20, there was Silence of the Lambs, which was covered.

At 19 is Vermin.

Never seen it.

Yeah, it came out 2023.

I think it's in there.

I think there is also just like 40 minutes of bullshit also that just really needs weeding and then what's left needs reworking.

There's something there and it was so disappointing for me specifically because I loved Vermin so much and during that year I did like my end of year lists and I was trying to get everyone I could to go and watch it because it's such a good spider horror movie because spider horror movies are not very well uh right done in the past there's there's like a couple that whatever that are in the canon and everyone loves a weird one from some time but like this one is so well executed and i was hyped to see that he was doing an evil dead movie and then i watched it and it just it felt devoid of anything that made vermin good yeah It's too bad.

Too indulgent, too

lot of people's babies first documentary yeah yeah

did you know documentaries are not I say that because I remember literally one of my film professors talking about how documentaries are just as assembled and intentionally put together as fiction films.

And there's not some greater truth necessarily that's conferred upon them because they're documentaries.

And I always felt very smug about that because I, because I feel like I knew lots of people who did think of documentaries as being more serious.

It has many names.

But we are a weekly movie review podcast that's a tribute to Siskel and Ebert, hosted by the two film critics who've already introduced themselves.

We cover every new theatric release, every new streaming release, every new...

I think there's a couple VOD releases this week, including, uh, one starring Scrubs' own Zach Braff as Officer Clean Hands.

We'll talk about that one in a minute.

Um, we review movies every week.

We're two film critics independently who are doing that, and join forces to continue the iconic format Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert pioneered when they invented movie podcasting way back in the...

Was the first one in the late '80s? I feel like it is.

I'm terrified of spiders.

This makes – okay, the movie is called Infested.

It's a 2023 French horror film.

It's on Shudder, AMC+.

It was always an unnerving decoration at parties and I always loved that people like got freaked out by it.

Now that was before we ourselves got a mouse problem during a pandemic um which got pretty bad it wasn't uh the person next door to us had mice and they came through and um we haven't seen any since it got taken care of until tonight So I'm going from the living room.

I've paused the movie Infested.

I'm going from the living room down to the basement to my printer because I'm printing things out for work.

I don't know.

I kept thinking if I should like finish Vermin just because you still haven't finished it no the only scene that comes to mind is when she's in the bathroom and they start swarming her

and she goes to turn on the water and just goes all over her arm now we're just talking about our spider movies but uh

Let's wrap this up.

might

have vetoed if you had put on more spider movies on the list actually I

was thinking of putting Infested on the list or Vermin to make you force you to finish it but I wasn't that cruel and also I didn't want to watch it I've seen it twice that's enough

Also, most of the movies we're watching are classics, or like older movies.
