Super 8 (2011) Post-Watch with Dylan Smith
About this podcast
Chris Hall and Mateo Javier Acosta revisit films of recent memory whose discourses were left unsettled—where the conversation ended with an ellipsis rather than a period. These are films with reputations that have yet to be properly nailed down and often make you ask, “Where are they now?” The first halves of episodes are spoiler-free discussions of the film’s life cycle since release and everyone's experiences with the film before rewatching it and moving into the spoiler-filled deep dive in the second half.
