10 JUN 2026 · While I may not be a Gen-Zer, I can most definitely get down with their brand of horror, especially if Backrooms is any indication of the quality and concept of their take on the genre. Contrast that with a "horror"-comedy franchise that's returned from a long justified and much needed absence in Scary Movie, and that makes for a hell of a double feature or at least two very apropo weekends at the cinema.
Join me as I take a look at both and bemoan one way more than the other, and, shockingly, it was the more expensive of the two. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support.

29 MAY 2026 · Mike White May continues with more Sean Connery, except this time it's fake news and he's the one selling it in Wrong is Right. Starring Connery as Patrick Hale, a globetrotting news muckraker who gets involved with all the US letter agencies in a game of intrigue and murder. It's less fun than it sounds which is a real shame given the Connery of it all. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support.
