I'm Sean Fennacy.

This is the big picture and conversation show about horror.

It's October and you know what that means.

CR is here to talk about the scariest, most depraved, and most delightful horror movies of 2025. Later in this episode, I'll be joined by Friend of the Pod and filmmaker Alex Ross Perry. Alex, of course, a staple of our Halloween programming here on the show. Many people have been asking me, when will you have Alex back to talk about awful shit? Many people be like, who needs Chris? If you've got Alex, if you've got Tracy Letts, like, what's the problem here? No, no. No, the grabber is still at the top of the mountain here on this show. Thank you for grabbing Chris. But Alex, I will say this year, unlike previous years, he has actually contributed to horror filmmaking. He has a segment in the new VHS Halloween film. It's called Kid Print. We'll talk about his contribution. We'll talk about anthology horror movies, which is something that Chris and I also really enjoy. I think Alex has the record for the most appearances of a guest on the pod ever. I think he's in the realm of 12 or 13 at this point, which is pretty. That's awesome. Extraordinary. So Martin Scorsese challenges yours. You have a lot of work to do, sir. Okay, that'll all come up very shortly on the show. This episode is presented by LinkedIn ads. Sometimes marketing gets wasted on the wrong people. Like if you see an ad for movie-themed

dog sweaters when you don't even have a pet. Reach exactly who you need with LinkedIn ads with a network of

130 million decision makers they can help you target by job title, industry, company size, or even

Okay, CR, before we talk about horror, was there any news that you wanted to break down? I don't never get to do news banter with you. I listen to you and Andy, and I'm like, God, just for a day, I could sit in that chair, the Greenwald seat. And watch this guy look at off-brand internet sites and scream. Let me pull up Variety.com and he ran my pod today. You wish I was looking at trades.

Come on, man. What are you looking at? I'm looking at all sorts of places, message boards.

I'm looking at dark web movie news sites. Turns out that we're going to get an Odyssey trailer in

December.

I don't know what... You learned this on a dark website? No, I'm just saying, world of real. I'm looking all around there. And that's the rumor. Is Odyssey trailer incoming? Full trailer. Christopher Nolan's next film, you famously have a fraught relationship with trailers now. You don't want to watch them. You don't want things spoiled for you.

I feel like with the Odyssey, it's okay.

Well, but why?

Because you're going to go, right? Why do you need to see anything? Okay. Well, then I won't watch it. I didn't want to do. I'm challenging when you've suggested on the show. I think with something like this, with no one specifically, he is so good at cutting trailers just like PTA is so good at cutting trailers Nolan specifically, he is so good at cutting trailers,

just like PTA is so good at cutting trailers, that they are an art unto themselves. What I don't

like is three and a half minute comedy trailers that give away every joke or action movie trailers
