'Nocturne' Episode 1 and 2 + 'Wildwood' and Patrick Stewart in 'Green Room'

In this episode, Darren and I catch up on Halloween and dive into what we’ve been watching. We talk costumes and trick-or-treating, what the kids dressed as, and the costumes we did (and didn’t) see in the streets. Darren reviews LAIKA’s new claymation epic Wildwood, describing its incredible handmade visuals, darker PG-13/M-rated tone, and intense violence, while I share my LAIKA favorites and we discuss why some parents reacted badly. We reflect on Patrick Stewart’s career and Darren’s first watch of Green Room, praising its performances, shocking matter-of-fact violence, and renewed relevance around white nationalism, plus we mention Jeremy Saulnier’s other films. We then discuss Apple TV+ serial-killer thriller Nocturne (two episodes), highlighting the Hannibal-like setup, strong cast (Stephen Graham, Liev Schreiber, Bill Camp, Culkin, Zazie Beetz), convoluted backstory, and the episode-two reveals and symbols that deepen the mystery.
