I know someone's out there.

Hey there, welcome to movie club, the show with two dudes who aren't quite nerds, but not quite nubes.

Choose a horror movie each week to rate and review. I'm Ashvin. I'm on the phone with Brian,

and this week we're going to be talking about the 2021 horror film, Malignant, directed by James Wan and starring Annabelle Wallace,

Maddie Hassan, and George Young. In this film, a woman is haunted by visions of murders that are being committed in real life by a monstrous-looking villain. If you're new to this show,

Brian and I are going to have a spoiler-free discussion up front.

Then we'll take a quick break and then dive into the plot, the spoilers, and our review.

Brian, you left me on a cliffhanger here.

Did you end up going to the theater to see this, or did you end up signing up for HBO?

I ended up signing up for HBO Max, finally.

Nice. I got this new TV, and it just felt kind of stupid not to like sign up and watch it in the comfort of my own home, especially since

I haven't really enjoyed my theater experiences that much lately. So I wanted to test out this

new TV and it looked great. I'm happy I stayed home. Yeah, you got the

whole like 4K experience at home. I got the whole 4K experience now. I've, I've joined the,

uh, my generation, the younger generation? I don't know. I'm not watching on a computer anymore.

Oh, cool. Cool. Yeah, it makes such a big difference, doesn't it?

Yeah, it's kind of wild.

Yeah.

So no more visits to the, what is it, the Great Mall of America?

Maybe I'll go back.

I mean, I'm definitely going to go see, like, a Halloween kills.

I don't want to watch that at home.
