What's a real crime so bizarre that Hollywood could adapt it exactly as it happened and audiences would STILL call it unrealistic? @DiscussingFilm @AndrewJ626 @cinema_recall @CCinemaPodcast #TrueCrimeMovies

There's a fine line between healthy competition and becoming the subject of a true crime podcast. SKINCARE crosses it rather enthusiastically. @FilmUpdates @letterboxd @Pcast_ol @CCinemaPodcast #SkincareMovie #MoviePodcast podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Some horror movies scare you. Others make you wonder how every character survived long enough to reach adulthood. What's the dumbest decision in horror history? @RottenTomatoes @letterboxd @Pcast_ol #HorrorMovies

Hollywood's beauty industry is already cutthroat. SKINCARE takes that expression a little too seriously. Elizabeth Banks, jealousy, and a spectacular amount of chaos. @FilmUpdates @RottenTomatoes @CCinemaPodcast #SkincareMovie #TrueCrimePodcast podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

THE SACRAMENT turns a real mass tragedy into found-footage horror. Where should filmmakers draw the line when adapting real suffering? We examined the movie and its inspiration: buzzsprout.com/2257303 #FoundFootage #HorrorPodcast @JackedUpReview @CCinemaPodcast @Pcast_ol
