INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
If you’ve been listening to The Horror Obsessive Podcast for some time, you know Sean and JP don’t often agree about the movies they discuss. Usually, if one likes a film, the other hates it. But there have been some exceptions.
For example, in the last episode, they talked about The Monster Squad, a movie they both enjoyed quite a bit. This time, they defy the odds once again.
In the latest episode of The Horror Obsessive Podcast, Sean and JP discuss Cronos, the directorial debut of Guillermo del Toro, and both agree that it’s an absolute masterpiece.
Cronos follows an elderly man named Jesús Gris, who discovers a bizarre device that’s been hidden for decades, and when the thing latches onto him, it restores his youthfulness and vigor. At first, the man is elated at his newfound vitality, but he soon learns that the contraption is turning him into a vampire. At the same time, an unscrupulous uncle and nephew duo are also hounding Jesús to give them the device, so the poor guy has to fend off these two malefactors and navigate his growing thirst for blood.
Cronos is an amazing movie, and Sean and JP discuss all the reasons they love it. The film’s message, its religious imagery, and its unique take on vampirism. As usual, the conversation is pretty riveting.
As always, they also go over some of the best and most exciting news to hit the horror world in the last two weeks, including the recent release of The Nun II, the two new Godzilla trailers, and the super intriguing trailer for No One Will Save You.
If you enjoyed listening to us talk about Cronos, join us again in two weeks for the next episode of The Horror Obsessive Podcast. We’ll discuss one of the greatest horror sequels of all time–Mike Flanagan’s Doctor Sleep.
