On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are trying to deal with an über-religious, murderous, deluded nut bag of a person. Also there are giant monsters in a choking mist threatening to eat us all. It’s the Frank Darabont film from 2007, The Mist.
We’re having a difficult time trying to figure out who is the worst monster in this film. Is it the literal otherworldly insect demon creatures who came through on the titular mist, or is it that damn Mrs. Carmody?
Mull it over for a little while. I feel confident that you’re going to have just as hard of a time figuring it out.
Honestly, at some points, I’d rather just be torn apart by the alien monsters. At least they’re just acting like the creatures driven by hunger and instinct that they are. Carmody… Well, she should know better.
The moral of this story: If you see a vast, invasive mist headed your way, you’d probably end up doing best to stay out of your local supermarket. You never know how Lord of the Flies it’s going to get in there. Or at least make sure you have enough bullets.
