Episode 19 - Event Horizon
Spooktober rolls along as Troy and Brad welcome back the charismatic Charlie Gonzalez to the show. On this episode, the gang tackles the 1997 horror/sci-fi film Event Horizon. This Paul W.S. Anderson movie finds the titular Event Horizon abandoned near the planet Neptune. Listen as the guys discuss the wonky science within the film, the spooky haunted house tropes littered throughout the script, the paper folding space travel explanations, a character called Baby Bear, and Laurence Fishburne doing……..well………cool Laurence Fishburne things!
Paramount Studios rushed Event Horizon into theaters because a famous director couldn’t get his movie about a ship hitting an iceberg completed on time. Ultimately, the filmmakers had to cut a lot of corners and audiences may never get to see the complete version. The film failed to recoup its $60 million budget and critics were not impressed. Does this film deserve to be labeled a "bomb"? Listen and find out!
Event Horizon is directed by Paul W. S. Anderson and stars Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill, Kathleen Quinlan, Joely Richardson , RIchard T. Jones, Jack Noseworthy, Jason Isaacs, and Sean Pertwee.

Episode 18 - Tenebrae
Welcome back, Bombers! Spooktober rolls into giallo town with Dario Argento’s 1982 film - Tenebrae. Tenebrae was a modest success when it was released internationally. However, the theatrical cut for the US was released in a heavily censored version under the title - Unsane. Needless to say, it was panned and quickly forgotten.
Listen as Troy, Brad, and John discuss Tenebrae’s themes of duality, sexual deviancy, and violence. Oh, and let’s not forget low-grade Mark Hamill! Troy tries to argue that 3/4s of Goblin doesn’t count as Goblin. John tries to play peacemaker. And Brad tries to find the silver lining. Ultimately, the guys decide if Dario’s Scooby-Doo murder mystery is a bomb.
Tenebrae is directed by Dario Argento and stars Anthony Franciosa, John Saxon, and Daria Nicolodi.
