Episode 42: "The Void"

This week our hosts watch “The Void“, the 2016 love letter to practical effects, John Carpenter, and the action creature films of the 1980s. The final chapter in the “Cosmic Horror” block of episodes, The Void shows us that Lovecraftian themes are still intriguing filmmakers, even today. But instead of existential dread like with The Endless, this is some good-old-fashioned deformed tentacle monsters, with some murderous cult members thrown in for good measure. This episode also features a guest interview with U.S. Marshall Rob Valentine to better explain some finer points of law enforcement and how they pertain to dealing with possessed townsfolk.
