OV286 – Franchise Fatigue and Extended Conversation – Child’s Play (2019), Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Tenebrae (1981), and Mike’s Son’s First Theater Experience (Featuring: Mike White)

In this laid back, extended conversation episode, Mike and I cover a wide range of topics including his son’s first movie theater experience, the ridiculous Twitter meltdown of @RareHorror, life in the streaming era, and more. We also review the new Child’s Play and briefly discuss Tenebrae and Godzilla: King of the Monsters.

This week’s stinger comes from our Patreon-exclusive recording: 036 – OV B-Roll – “List Anxiety vs Spoiler Culture” – Half-Asleep Alexa Story, 6 Years of Podcasting, and Digital vs Physical Tease – July 2, 2019
