(pod)Casters of Horror: 'Chocolate' (Mick Garris) Ep. 5

Series maestro Mick Garris tries his hand at writing and directing in this series lowlight. Bennett and Jim don’t break from consensus here Gangs of New York’s Henry Thomas appears in Mick Garris’ high-concept romance as a food scientist with a psychic connection to a mysterious woman. With an abysmal soundtrack and a “you’re probably wondering how I got here” framing device, Chocolate doesn’t offer much to recommend.  Jim and Bennett try their best to see the best in Chocolate. If nothing else, they agree that Matt Frewer is having fun. Save yourself half an hour. Skip watching Chocolate and listen to (Pod)Casters of Horror instead.  Created by Mick Garris, Masters of Horror was a two-season series on Showtime that challenged genre legends to create an hour-long horror film. Follow along as Bennett and Jim are forced to spend no more than 20 minutes discussing each episode from the first season of the series or face a room full of poisonous gas.
