On this episode, we get into a couple of genre mashups in horror and comedy and family dynamics. First, we talk about the new movie Ready or Not starring Samara Weaving, Adam Brody, and Andie Macdowell about a woman marrying into a wealthy family with an insane ritual for bringing in someone new to their empire. Then we talk about a movie from 2011 called You're Next with similar things at play. Directed by Adam Wingard, it's ostensibly about a girl meeting the family of her boyfriend, but there is a lot that isn't exactly what is seems with some comedy and lots of horror to feast on. Rate and review us on Apple Podcasts! We're also on Spotify and Stitcher. Enjoy! Email: celluloidheroespod@gmail.com IG: @celluloidheroespod @seanshap0 @stevenifine
