Summary

Our month of 3s has ended, so we're kicking off February with a discussion of Vincenzo Natali's supremely messed up sci-fi horror film (and secret Dark Castle film) Splice, which also acts as an early celebration of Joe's birthday! Joining us for the chat is Prince Jackson, host of our sister podcast Knight Light! Before we get to it, just a heads up if you've never seen the film: we're issuing content warnings for rape, animal death, incest and (depending on how you view Dren) pedophilia and/or bestiality. Obviously, we've got to talk about that ending, but we'll also gush over Canadian national treasure Sarah Polley, debate the film's unlikable mad scientist protagonists and try to gauge audience reactions when this hit theaters 11 years ago. Plus, discussions of bad parenting paired with comparisons to Renny Harlin's Deep Blue Sea and Francis Ford Coppola's Jack! Questions? Comments? Snark?
