   166. The Relic (1997) Movie Review

   What happens when a museum expedition uncovers a terrifying creature lurking beneath the surface? In this episode of So I Married a Film Critic, we're digging into The Relic (1997), a sci-fi horror movie that brings monster-movie mayhem to the halls of Chicago's Field Museum. Starring Penelope Ann Miller and Tom Sizemore, this 1990s creature feature blends horror, science fiction, mystery, and suspense as a deadly creature begins hunting inside the museum. We’re talking creepy museum corridors, scientific experiments gone wrong, gruesome discoveries, and a monster that makes a museum sleepover sound like a terrible idea. Does this forgotten monster movie still hold up? We discuss the "science" behind this film and how it stops the action, why Julia wanted more of a love story, and the creepy under-lit nature of the cinematography. If you love movie review podcasts, film discussion, 1990s movies, ’90s horror films, creature features, monster movies, sci-fi horror, cult classics, and retro movie reviews, this episode is for you! 🎬 Movie: The Relic (1997) 👹 Genres: Horror, Science Fiction, Thriller 🎙️ Podcast: So I Married a Film Critic Follow the show behind the scenes on Instagram @soimarriedafilmcritic_podcast.

   165. The Lost Boys: Our Reimagined Ending Changes Everything

   What happens when a sleepy California beach town becomes a haven for vampires? In this episode of So I Married a Film Critic, we’re sinking our teeth into the 1987 classic The Lost Boys. Starring Kiefer Sutherland, Jason Patric, Corey Haim, Corey Feldman, and Jamie Gertz, The Lost Boys blends horror, comedy, teen drama, and pure 1980s nostalgia into one seriously entertaining vampire movie. We’re talking Santa Carla, the Frog Brothers, the soundtrack, the fashion, the unforgettable characters, and why this film has become a favorite among fans of classic 80s movies and horror films. Barry brings one of the best surprise twist endings ever reimagined. Can you guess what it is cause now we want a remake! Join us for a fun, sometimes serious, and definitely opinionated movie review and film podcast discussion about The Lost Boys — a movie that proves that being a teenager in the 1980s was apparently dangerous, stylish, and full of vampires. 🎬 Movie: The Lost Boys (1987) 🧛 Genre: Horror / Comedy / Teen / Vampire 🎙️ Podcast: So I Married a Film Critic If you love movie podcasts, film reviews, classic movies, 80s movies, horror movies, vampire movies, cult classics, and movie discussions, this episode is for you.

   164. "Backrooms" Movie Review: Horror, Liminal Spaces & a Divisive Ending

   In this episode of So I Married a Film Critic, we review Backrooms, the eerie horror movie inspired by the internet phenomenon that turned liminal spaces into one of the creepiest concepts online, while also dividing our household. Barry loved it. Julia… not so much. We talk about what makes the Backrooms concept so creepy, whether the movie actually delivers on that unsettling premise, the power of liminal spaces, and why something that works brilliantly for one viewer can leave another completely cold. And then there’s the ending — can anyone make sense of it? Are we still in the backrooms right now? What does your backrooms doppleganger look like? Wait until you hear Barry's description! (That might be scarier than this movie!) Listen as a film critic and his wife disagree yet again — because apparently, marriage means watching movies you don't even like.
