We took a week off so that Luke could live the lavish life, but we’re back! Despite the rocky take-off, we get things rolling in what should be a great comeback episode. We’re also joined by a man who knows a thing or two about horror movies and legal issues, Patrick Anderson. More on that in a moment
The news feed start off with MIDNIGHT MAN. Robert Englund has the genre excited, but are we hype to play the game? A QUIET PLACE isn’t what you might be used to from THE OFFICE alum, John Krasinski, and that’s a good thing. It doesn’t appear that Guillermo del Toro’s THE SHAPE OF WATER is an Abe Sapien origin story, but there is no denying that it is gorgeous. Russian film THE BRIDE hasn’t even hit foreign soil, yet it’s already being targeted for a remake from some heavy hitters. THE STRANGERS: PREY AT NIGHT website is collecting some personal information. Can you guess who gave them that info and who didn’t? Zoinks! There is going to be another live action Scooby Doo movie, this time an origin story of its two female character, DAPHNE AND VELMA..And did we mention there will be zombies? Yes, zombies. FINALLY, we have Patrick walk us through the insane legal drama that is happening with the original FRIDAY THE 13TH film. There are some very interesting implications around this one.
You’ve heard us on several occasions talk about Mickey Keating, and this week we check out his latest film PSYCHOPATHS. It is one of those films that is hard to spoil, so we had a lot of fun talking about this one. In Round 3 we play a variation of the betting game. Luke looks to lick his wounds against newcomer Patrick. Will Luke finally put one in the W column, or is Patrick leaving with the trophy? Hit play and find that out plus a ton more in the triumphant return of The Modern Horrors Podcast!

I love Scooby-Doo too!
But, dammit, Jacob, we are millennials! Whether we like it or not.

Ha! I miss the Millennial age range by a year. Gen X baby! Never been so happy to be old.

I thought you were right at 30. I think that kinda makes us in between Millennials and Gen-Xers. But, fuck, I don’t know shit lol

Bless you for this comment! Luke is right there, but I’ve crested the halfway point to 40.

I’ll just do another comment for this but I’ve been screaming for years for an adult Scooby-Doo. Give me a Scooby-Doo with real stakes and real scares and deaths but seriously. Not as a parody full of winks and nods at the audience and just nasty shit for the sake of being nasty (kinda think of The Brady Bunch movies (with the sorta incest subplot) as exactly what I *don’t* want) but give me a damn adult Scooby movie I can enjoy as an adult and the kid in me can also get behind.
Do you guys maybe have a way that a cool, live-action, adult Scooby-Doo movie could go?

Sorry for the 65 comments, boys, but, dammit, that legal talk was interesting.

Man, thanks for letting us know. Glad we weren’t the only ones entranced by all of that.
