Episode 146 - Splice

The aughts: what a time to be alive and making weird horror films. This week’s entry “Splice” fits that bill, and is also a cool exercise in style (both the filmmaking itself and Adrien Brody and Sara Polley’s wardrobe)! This slick attempt at the “get your science on before science gets you” subgenre, otherwise known as “should we or shouldn’t we do the super unethical experiment” subgenre of horror, had its upsides with the design and some set pieces, but the guys were “spliced” on their enjoyment of this one with a “rent” from Ryan and a “stream” from Tim.
