I'm Renee Hunter Vasquez, joined as always by my co-host, my husband, and my brother.

Hi, I'm John Paul Vasquez. Hi, I'm Travis Hunter. This week, we're recording live from the Sarn Institute discussing the 2009 horror thriller,

Orphan.

This film was directed by Halme Coyer Serra with the screenplay by David Leslie Johnson

McGoldrick and story by Alex Mace.

Orphan takes the trope of an unnerving child and adds an unexpected twist.

Dealing with themes of grief, trauma, gaslighting, and familial strain, this film is widely

considered a success, both to critics and horror fans. This film was requested to us by

friends of the show, Dylan, Noreen S, Nora Ramirez, Rochelle Ann, and Jason Whitaker. We want to thank each of

them for their support and for their suggestion. This phone was also the winner of our Patreon poll,

so thank you to all of our patrons who participated and voted. If you want to help us pick an episode,

So what did you guys think of Orphan the first time you saw it?

I'll be honest.

I can't really remember the first time I seen it,

but I know it had to be after 2010.

But I do remember really enjoying it the first time I seen it.

Not saying that I don't now, but watching it for the show, I noticed a lot more that I didn't enjoy.

I do still like the movie.

I know at some point we'll cover the second one.

Right.

Yeah.
