Halloween Kills & Prisoners of the Ghostland (Movie Squad Podcast #47)
Michael Myers is back… and so is Movie Squad… just in time for Halloween.
This week, hosts Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo torment horror-hating Breakfast host Graeme Watson with reviews of Halloween Kills and Prisoners of the Ghostland.
Halloween Kills is first up, with Tristan looking at David Gordon Green’s sequel to his 2018 reboot, which was a sequel to the 1978 original, which ret-conned the other 10 instalments of the series (it’s complicated). With Halloween Ends due for release next year, how does this middle entry in Green’s trilogy hold up? Find out!
Then, Simon reviews the third Nicolas Cage film of 2021: Prisoners of the Ghostland, from notorious Japanese filmmaker Sion Sono. In this flick, Cage plays Hero, a bank robber tasked with rescuing a Governor’s daughter, and fitted with an electrified suit that’ll explode if he hurts the young lady in the process… or if he gets aroused by her.
Halloween Kills is in cinemas while Prisoners of the Ghostland is available to stream/download and on DVD/Blu-ray from November.
