Pete and Repeat

I'm the Host

A videotape lands on your doorstep... An estranged friend emails you out of the blue... You may be tempted to respond, to reach out to a familiar hand...but what if it doesn't let go?

This week, Blake inaugurates spooky season with two movies about movies in movies that are actually kind of one movie? We're sitting down with creative duo Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead's breakout film, Resolution (2012), and its break-out sequel, The Endless (2017). We'll talk about strained siblings, toxic relationships, invisible narrators, artistry vs. amusement, social media bubbles, and ultimately learn that you can never step into the same home twice...or, something.

We'll also blindly wander into how to defeat cosmic horrors through boredom, effective serial killer deterrents, and various cabins in various woods.
