In this very special Bonus Episode, Elric flies solo and talks to some folks behind the new film COMING HOME IN THE DARK.

One of the best reviewed & hardest hitting films of the year is now in theaters and VOD and happens to be directed by one of Elric’s oldest friends James Ashcroft. The two discuss the film (spoiler-free mostly) and touch on other impactful New Zealand films and James discusses a few key films that influenced his dark vision. In the second part of the episode Elric hosted the live post-screening Q & A with the star of the film, actor Daniel Gillies (The originals). This conversation is all spoilers so watch the film before listening.  Thanks to the American Cinematheque for recording this conversation.

In this Episode, Elric and Brian take a long look at the old "Dogs of the Week" Segment that Siskel and Ebert used to do as part of their show in the lates 70s and early 80s. The "Dogs" were their picks for the worst films of a given week and they even had a small canine called "Spot the Wonderdog" who would kick of each of these segments with a little bark. Many interesting films were panned during the Dogs of the Week period and some of them definitely are truly dogs whilst others may have more going on and be interesting to discuss.
