#98: As Above, So Below

Now Screaming

This week, Liz and Evan go to hell and back again with 2014’s As Above, So Below, courtesy of longtime listener Clare (@doopliss27)! Join them as they dive deep into the film’s complex lore, traversing every other media franchise from National Treasure to Aladdin along the way. They also lament the most irritating found-footage pitfalls, ponder the roles of alchemy and emotion in horror films, and travel through as many circles of hell as it takes to get Evan on board with Dante’s Inferno. Stick around afterwards to hear some (very timely) thoughts and reactions to this year’s Oscars ceremony to wrap up the movie year. If you, too, have had a panic attack in the Paris catacombs, then be sure to check out nowscreaming.com, and come visit us on Twitter @nowscreaming.
