Summary

After a lengthy hiatus the Movie Night boys are back in the studio to review two modern horror breakout, Scott Derrickson's The Black Phone and the third installment into Jordan Peele's already storied filmography, Nope. For two movies with a nearly identical critical consensus, audience reception varies significantly. What is it about traditional horror concepts like those from The Black Phone that seem to win audiences over in a way where less traditional approaches like Nope seem to split down the middle and polarize? Along the way we talk shop on supernatural elements in horror movies, sci fi, Jordan Peele's already significant impact throughout the industry and more.  Crack open a couple of cold ones with us, leave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts and let us know what you think we should review next.
