It's a jam-packed show, Screamers. We look at the new horror films Backrooms, and Hokum, as well as discussing horror, in general, and this new crop of directors. We discuss the A.I. controversy at this year's Tribeca Film Festival, and Martin Scorsese's place in A.I. history. We wrap up by talking about Robert Altman's 1974 under-seen gem, Thieves Like Us.
