Runtime of 1hr 34 min

A writer returns to his cottage to convalesce after a climbing accident that crippled him and killed his wife. He finds to his delight a gaggle of lovely co-eds are staying at the cabin next door, so naturally he begins to peep on the women with binoculars. What follows is a film in the grand tradition of Rear Window. But, you know, with bigfoot.

NOTES FROM THE EPISODE:

Our dear Edward, catching a catnap during our virtual movie party:

Troma’s The Monster in the Closet (aka the movie that scared Jamie):

Trailer for Her Story (thanks, Curt!)

Next up, The Lodge, now available on Hulu for free and elsewhere for $$. I was all set to see this one right as the theaters in Michigan were closing down and had been anxiously awaiting it for probably a year before that. Why? Because its from the duo who brought you Goodnight Mommy.

I’m going to be real with you, dear listeners - a couple of your hosts are going through some family stuff right now and haven’t been able to record. We’ve been around since 2014 and have never skipped an episode, but I knew it had to happen eventually. We hope you accept our apologies and enjoy this episode from way, way back when we were wee podcasting babes. It originally aired five years ago today, as a matter of fact.

We promise to be back with an all new episode next time. Thanks for sticking with us, guys. -Amy

Director/Writer: Joel Anderson 
Stars: Rosie Traynor, David Pledger, Martin Sharpe
Synopsis: Who killed Alice Palmer? Just kidding...sort of...
This is a Fauxdoc-style film, covering the events surrounding the death of 16-year old Alice Palmer. After going missing (we presume she drowned) during a family trip, Alice's body is eventually discovered floating in the water. Once this happens, the movie jumps from one subplot to the next as it attempts to discover what happened to her. The ending may not be exactly what you'd expect.
