Ep 206 Guys at parties like it

It’s a bit of a different ep this week as Chris and Adam discuss (in a hopefully mostly spoiler-free way) the brand new film from Mattioli Productions; “Guys At Parties Like It”, streaming now on Tubi and Apple TV. “Guys At Parties Like It” focuses on a College Fraternity Party; where the men collectively revel in a crucible of pathetic hazing rituals and toxic masculinity, which results in one targeted woman literally fighting for her life. Events spiral out of control for everyone, with characters revealing either hidden reserves of fortitude or the basest of vile instincts. This is a sometimes uncomfortable watch in terms of subject matter, with some realistically unpleasant characters who having you hotly anticipating their comeuppance. Despite some story beats that may trip close to cliche, this independent feature is shot with a real cinematic polish and flair that belies its small budget, with some incredible gore effects that really add to the horror. This film from directing team Colton David and Micah Coate, described as “a #metoo inspired horror” feels like a response or antidote to those 80s frat comedies that really don’t play in the modern climate. A massive thank you to AJ Mattioli, owner of Mattioli Productions, for reaching out and giving us the chance to view this; check out their website www.mattioliproductions.com for more films and news.
