Episode 66 - Pickman’s Model (2022)
Manage episode 352903842 series 3294594
New year, new Cthulyou!
The boys at The Cast of Cthulhu ring in 2023 by tackling "Pickman's Model," the first of two Lovecraft adaptations featured in the Netflix-exclusive horror anthology, Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities. One of the longest entries of the anthology, "Pickman's Model" feels like a TV episode trying to be a feature film, but without enough time to commit to any one thread, falls desperately short at establishing meaningful stakes or believable character motivations. It's disappointing that for an adaptation featuring a witch's feast and people carving their eyes out of their own heads, the scariest thing may be Crispin Glover's alleged Boston accent.
