Happy Halloween from the Cinema Beef Podcast. Now give us your candy!!!! Jamie and Gary are joined by Brian M. Sammons to celebrate the time when the hills ran red with children’s blood to discuss two family films. Kind of ironic, huh. We cover the first two films in the incredible Laika Studios catalog. First up, when a lonely girl is bored and ignored by her family, she discovers a secret world where all of her dreams seem to come true but at what cost. All this and old lady pasties in Coraline from 2009. Then, Norman is a kid who has a particular issue. He can see ghosts and this becomes a major issue when he’s tasked to hold back a town curse and accidentally releases a horde of zombies and hilarity in the great Paranorman from 2012. Treat yo self and watch both of these movies.
