Summary

On this episode, Derek and Aaron tackle 1997's Canadian independent sci-fi horror flick "Cube" directed and co-written by Vincenzo Natali. They talk about the themes of paranoia and hopelessness, the simple yet effective aesthetic of the setting, and how the filmmaking choices worked around having a small budget. They also get into the amateur performances, Natali's initial ideas for the Cube, how the lack of explanation works, and many other aspects of the movie. Derek and Aaron know that boundless human stupidity awaits them out there.Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/WatchIfYouDareWe are on PodBean, Apple Podcasts, Podchaser, Goodpods, Amazon Music, Google, Stitcher, Spotify, and CastBox.
