Episode #44 – Brightburn
Just a little after Halloween, we’ve got a horror-themed superhero movie for you to check out. What if Superman wasn’t a wholesome farmboy but instead a twisted little bastard? That’s the concept behind Brightburn, the movie we discuss. We gush over Elizabeth Banks, talk about the way this movie blends the horror and superhero genres together, and pontificate on why we don’t see more horror-themed superhero movies.

The first Insidious made me jump a few times and when I was younger the first Child’s Play creeped me out because I had a My Buddy doll at the time. But there’s really not a lot of scary movies out there.
