‘Monolith’ Review: Minimalist Horror Movie Starring Lily Sullivan Effectively Creeps Under Your Skin
The podcasting world was born out of mystery. Beginning with early hits like Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History, Serial, and Lore, the genre exploded with similar shows dedicated to shining a fresh light on the strange occurrences lurking just beneath our everyday line of sight. But can we always trust what we hear? No matter how diligent the research or objective the source, each story has been filtered through the biases and motivations of the human voice behind the mic. Investigating for the purpose of entertainment adds another element of deception. What pieces of the story have been embellished or omitted to ensure a satisfying arc? It’s no wonder faith in the media has sunk to a shocking low.
Director Matt Vesely plays with these concepts in his feature film debut Monolith, a minimalist sci-fi thriller that pulls back the curtain of journalistic creation. Based on a harrowing script by Lucy Campbell,...

Jordan Peele was the perfect filmmaker to bring back “The Twilight Zone,” melding his dark satire with Rod Serling’s. The result makes an uneasy bridge between past and present, where fear, paranoia, and hate continue to rip away at the fabric of American society. And this is apparent in “Nightmare at 30,000 Feet,” a re-imagining of the William Shatner-starrer, “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet,” which slips comfortably beside Peele’s “Get Out” and “Us.”
For production designer Michael Wylie and editor Scott Turner, the challenge was to channel both Serling and Peele in this story of Ptsd-suffering journalist Justin Sanderson (Adam Scott), who discovers a strange podcast aboard Flight 1015 that predicts their crash which he inadvertently helps facilitate. “We wanted to pull in some of the flavor of the original, not only because it’s incredibly familiar to everyone but because we’re trying to create a timelessness in the show,...

War is coming to Tribeca Film Festival, specifically World War I delivered through an immersive experience that combines the technology of virtual reality, haptic feedback, and special effects with the physical sets of a theater and voice talents of a famed podcaster.
“War Remains,” which debuts at Tribeca later this month, was created by Mwm Immersive, the group behind “Chained: A Victorian Nightmare” and the upcoming Vr game “Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son.”
The installation, narrated by Hardcore History’s Dan Carlin, was directed by Academy Award-winner Brandon Oldenburg and developed by immersive storytellers Flight School Studio, with audio design by Skywalker Sound.
“‘War Remains’ is about throwing audiences directly into an immersive memory of the First World War,” said Ethan Stearns, executive producer at Mwm Immersive. “You begin by stepping into our physical set and donning a wireless Vr headset that allows you full freedom to walk through the stage.

CBS All Access's The Twilight Zone reboot brings back an old favorite with an inventive modern twist.
This The Twilight Zone review contains spoilers.
The Twilight Zone Episode 1
Where were you when you first realized the podcast host in “Nightmare at 30,000 Feet” was Dan Carlin?
I was sitting on my couch, laptop on my coffee table in front of me. It was 6:36 p.m. on Wednesday, March 27, 2019. I’ll remember it like people remember where they were during the Kennedy Assassination.
Anywho, welcome to The Twilight Zone (2019)! And more importantly, welcome to 2019, Twilight Zone. The prominent voiceover role for one of pop culture’s most beloved (and long-winded) podcast orators is just one of the many signs that The Twilight Zone is not only ready for the modern era…the modern era is more than ready for it.
