Echo Chamber - 418 - Part One
You can hear ‘Part Two’ of this week’s episode, HERE!!!
Well, we are here for another week of @EchoChamberFP fun, and we're bringing you more 'TWO Parter' excitement.
In 'Part One' we have our traditional look at films, and this week five are on the docket. Planes are totally 2006, cause Uncia Films have brought four legged danger to a boat. We then have optimism in Government and the system trying to squash it via Gracie Films & 20th Century Studios. In the cinema, it's parasites, complacency and last hope heroism from StudioCanal & Samuel Goldwyn Films, before we return to a fan favourite franchise for more slashing, scaring and potential killer solving via Spyglass Media Group, Project X Entertainment, Paramount Pictures. THEN, Constantin Film, Blind Wink Productions, 3 Arts Entertainment & Briarcliff Entertainment come with some time loop action, that's unique, odd, quirky and fun!!!
'Bears on a Ship' is written & directed by Eduardo Castrillo. Stranded travelers opt for a sea journey to the US during a Mexican airline strike, unaware that two man-eating bears are also on the ship.
'Ella McCay' is written & directed by James L. Brooks. An idealistic young woman (Emma Mackey) juggles her family (Jack Lowden, Jamie Lee Curtis, Spike Fearn, Woody Harrelson) and work life in a comedy about the people you love and how to survive them.
'Cold Storage' is directed by Jonny Campbell, and written by David Koepp, based on Koepp's 2019 book of the same name. A bio-terror vet (Liam Neeson) returns to a case that haunts him, and teams with two storage employees (Joe Keery, Georgina Campbell) in attempts to contain a parasitic fungus that leaks out of an abandoned military base.
'Scream 7' is directed by Kevin Williamson, who co-wrote with Guy Busick. This time out, a new Ghostface killer has emerged and has decided that the best way to get Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) is by targeting her daughter, Tatum (Isabel May).
'Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die' is directed by Gore Verbinski, and written by Matthew Robinson. A man (Sam Rockwell) from the future, travels to the past to recruit patrons (Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña, Zazie Beetz, Asim Chaudhry, Juno Temple, Daniel Barnett as Bob, Georgia Goodman as Marie) of a Los Angeles diner to help combat a rogue artificial intelligence (Artie Wilkinson-Hunt).
