Episode 5: Halloween Triple feature

Trick or Treat!
Unnecessary Edits is joined again by Dave for a spooky Halloween Triple feature. 

This week, each host picked one of their favorite movies to watch on Halloween (the only stipulation: the plot of movie must take place around Halloween). This frightful episode includes Disney’s ‘Hocus Pocus’, Tim Burton’s ‘Sleepy Hollow,’ and John Carpenter’s ‘Halloween.’

Why does Mary Sanderson growl like a dog? Why wasn’t Katrina Van Tassel a more supernatural character? What makes Michael Myers’ evil?

Sit for a spell and enjoy a brew with this week’s episode! 

Episode 4: The Shining

This week, Unnecessary Edits is joined by guest host Dave from Films with Dave as they check into the Overlook Hotel and explore Stanley Kubrick’s horror masterpiece, ‘The Shining’. Does Kristin actually find a horror movie she likes? Dave explains #timedilation, and Garrett rewrites in hedge animals from the book. All this and even more deep discussion on theories and themes in this thriller of an episode!

Episode 3: Midsommar

There is now a chill in the New York air as the Halloween season is upon us. In Episode 3 this week, Garrett picks Ari Aster’s 2019 horror film, “Midsommar” to kick off the spooky holiday season. Kristin and Garrett dive into their reviews, with some deep discussion on what they think are the themes of the film, and as always, weigh in with their unnecessary rewrites. Tune in to find out about the Unnecessary Edits’ interpretation of this wild Swedish festival. Garrett suggests some scifi inspired hive mindery, and Kristin comes up with a goose-bump inducing early scene.  Listen in to hear and judge our unnecessary edits!
