Weekly Recap: Frankenstein, Springsteen, Bugonia, Queens of the Dead, Hedda & More!
Monsters, singers, possible aliens, and plenty of zombies this week.
This week has a blend of new and upcoming releases I’ve put reviews together for. Frankenstein is currently in a few theaters, but it hits Netflix next month, and Bugonia is in limited release, spreading wider next week. Meanwhile, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere and Queens of the Dead are now in theaters. And then there’s all the films I reviewed from the Newport Beach Film Festival, including the upcoming Hedda and Wake Up Dead Man. Additionally, we have our latest 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla episode, along with our newest Out Now episodes covering Black Phone 2, and this year’s batch of horror-themed bonus shows for October. So, feel free to check out all these reviews, podcasts, lists, trailers, and other fun. Enjoy, stay safe, and thank you for reading!
