Each episode we cover news in the film, TV, and video game industries, before diving into review of a topical movie, and deeper discussion of a more obscure film chosen by one among us--the Morticians--and preferably one that the others haven't seen. This is where movies come to be examined. To die, or maybe, to be reborn. Scrub in!

Welcome back to the Morgue!
Last year we reviewed several 'Halloween' movies, and this year we're finishing what we started by discussing 'Halloween Ends' alongside 'Halloween III: Season of the Witch'. Two trilogy-makers forty years apart, and neither of them featuring very much of the franchise's leading man. This should be good.

There was an idea...to use our podcast as a platform for independent filmmakers to discuss their work. Today that idea takes its first baby step.
On this very special episode the Morticians sit down with Kaleb Torres, writer-director of HOME VIDEO: a psychological thriller about a man struggling with his grip on reality after a traumatic event starring our very own Justin Winley! The conversation covers everything from Kaleb's initial inspiration to the music he chose in the edit, and that last minute ingenuity always associated with low-budget horror craft. It is also full of spoilers for quite a twisty movie, but you can avoid all that by watching it on YouTube first! We can't recommend it enough.
HOME VIDEO (2022), written and directed by Kaleb Torres, can be viewed here. And you can keep up with the filmmaker via Instagram @kaleb_torres_ and his website www.kalebtorres.com

The Morticians are once again joined by special assistant Anirudh Pi for an entire episode devoted to dissecting Matt Reeves’ red-hot vigilante crime thriller: ‘The Batman’🦇🐈⬛.
