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 Campbell Center discussing the 2000 psychological horror film, The Cell.

This film was directed by Tarsem Singh and written by Mark Protasovich.

With the desire to take his audience on a journey while loosely adhering to the crime

genre popular at the time,

Singh engineered a film full of dazzling visuals and sets. Partly due to this, the cell was met

with mixed reception, hailed by some reviewers and panned by others. We were left with the film as

visually interesting as it is polarizing. This film was requested to us by Friends of the Show and Winda Go Getters, Sophie Hodson, and Bobby Holmes.

We want to thank them so much for their support and for this suggestion.

This film was also the winner of our January Patreon poll.

So thank you to all of our patrons who participated and voted.

the cell the first time you saw it? I remember watching this movie around the time it came out.

Visually it's stunning. Yes.

It's great.

The story was weird.

That's what I remembered.

I remember.

I was just like, man, it was really weird.

You know, it was strange.
