Every so often, we dive into art house cinema; and we are joined by our dear friend Steve from the Not Just Another Geek Pod Podcast to dive into a tale of turn-of-the-century Alaska. This films stars one of Sean’s favorite actors, David Strathairn, so expect him to gush heartily about him. Limbo also stars Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Vanessa Martinez, and Kris Kristofferson, and is written and directed by John Sayles.
This film is worth the watch, but Roy has a problem with the way it ends. He feels like Sayles owes the audience something that he doesn’t provide. There is also a Gone Girl-like moment that changes the movie completely, and we talk about how well that decision works.
We also ask if a 1990s-like indie movement would be good for Hollywood in the way low budget horror films work for studios like A24 and Blumhouse.
**As of late August 2020, Limbo (1999) is not streaming anywhere for free. All the major streaming rental services start at $3.99**
