On this week’s episode of Someone Else’s Movie, I sit down with Irish filmmaker Paul Duane to discuss movies that explore cosmic horror at a slight remove.

He picked a doozy: Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Cure, a 1997 thriller that starts out as a police procedural about a detective trying to solve (and stop) a spate of brutal murders and discovering that the only thing that connects the killers is a drifter who claims to have no malice in his heart whatsoever. But that might be an understatement.

Paul’s new film, All You Need is Death, is also enthralled by the idea of incomprehensible forces at the edge of our understanding, and it’s a corker; you can find it on VOD in the US right now, and it’ll be streaming everywhere fairly soon.

But first, the podcast! Which you can find at all the usual spots — Apple, Spotify, YouTube Podcasts —or download it directly from the web and play it as you walk aimlessly through the world.

And then go catch up on Shiny Things, because I’ve been busy! Last week was all Warner all the time, starting with the studio’s spectacular 4K release of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga and  finishing up with Arrow’s new When Titans Ruled the Earth set and Shout! Studios’ 15th anniversary release of Observe and Report. All good stuff, really.

The catalogue titles are only accessible to paid subscribers, mind you. But it’s really not that hard to subscribe. You should try it!
