About this listen

From the director of "Barbarian" comes "Weapons," one of the most talked-about horror experiences of the year. Your host, Sebastian Gomez, delves into this mysterious thriller about the disappearance of a group of children, which plunges an entire community into paranoia and fear.With a non-linear script in the style of "Pulp Fiction" and an engrossing atmosphere, "Weapons" is a masterclass in building suspense. We analyze why this film isn't for everyone, but why it rewards patient viewers.In this episode, we discuss:The premise of "Weapons" and the central mystery of the missing children.The non-linear structure: brilliance or a confusing challenge for the audience? How the film treats the entire community as its main character.Deep themes: collective grief, paranoia, and the human reaction to the unexplainable.The connection between horror and comedy, and why directors like Zach Cregger and Jordan Peele master both genres.The ending: a resolution that offers justice, but not a happy ending.Should you see it in a theater? My final recommendation.
