This month, The Filmlosophers\u2014Hosts Eddie and Spencer, and Intern Manager\/Managing Intern Amy\u2014take on another of the King of Horror's lesser-celebrated works: his 2016 film adaptation, "Cell". The crew will dissect this unique take on a technological apocalypse, exploring how the film attempts to translate King's commentary on our phone-obsessed world to the big screen. They'll break down the performances, the production, and what makes this film a "fascinating" footnote in the King cinematic universe. Is it a misunderstood gem or a cautionary tale of a missed opportunity? Adding a truly odd twist to the episode, Spencer and Amy will recount a bizarre outing to a local historic theater where they joined a surprisingly lively (and rowdy) showing of the vampiric cult classic, "New Moon". They'll share stories of the strange audience participation and ponder the bizarre phenomenon of a film's second life as a communal, albeit ironic, experience. Join The Filmlosophers for a discussion that's part King deep dive and part nostalgic, comedic look at a theatrical event unlike any other. So pull up a chair, grab your popcorn, and tune in to this week's \u201ccell-tastic\u201d episode of The Filmlosophers!
