Face the Beast

This week’s episode of Someone Else’s Movie is a really fun conversation about a pretty dark movie. Which isn’t unusual, I have to admit, but it is especially delightful when the guest is as enthusiastic as Courtney Summers, the author whose book This Is Not a Test is now a Major Motion Picture from Friend of the Show Adam Macdonald … whose 2015 episode on The Devil’s Rejects is currently only available in the SEMcast Year One bundle, regrettably.

Courtney picked a movie from another Friend of the Show, writer-director-actor Jim CummingsThe Wolf of Snow Hollow, an ingenious horror comedy starring Jim as a deputy sheriff in a small mountain town trying to balance his personal responsibilities and professional ineptitude while trying to solve a spate of violent murders that seem to have been the work of a werewolf. But werewolves don’t exist, right?

It’s a lively conversation about a film that fascinates us both, and you will definitely enjoy it. So bundle up and dive right in! Subscribe to the show on  AppleSpotify, YouTube Podcasts or your podcatcher of choice, or download the episode directly from the web and listen to it while you sit in a room by yourself for five goddamn minutes and try to figure out what a grown-up would do in your current circumstance. (Fun fact: This is the first time that bit works for both the movie being discussed and the project the guest is promoting!)

And then, you should get caught up on Shiny Things, because last week I tacked the new releases of Twinless and How to Make a Killing as well as the US release of If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, and of course subscribers to the paid tier got my exclusive reviews of Cape Fear, Carolina Caroline and the new season of Deli Boys. Didn’t get them? Upgrade that subscription and see what you’ve been missing! Come on! It’s five bucks a month, and I get some delicious, delicious validation! Don’t leave me hanging, man!
