Episode 118 - All Ages Show

Netflix! It brings us so many things, so often, that it can be overwhelming at times. For this show we decided to look at two films that are newly on Netflix that seemed like a good fit for the cave. Both are from 2017, but from opposite sides of the "pond". We start with "Bad Day for the Cut", an Irish production that tells a very twisty story of revenge where a quiet, unassuming farmer has to find out the reason his elderly mother is brutally murdered one night. It has moments of humor and surprising plot developments and, we think, is well worth your time. We follow that up with "Super Dark Times" which is set in a gray town in the US in the 1990s and follows a group of teens who get into some situations where things go VERY wrong and we see the extremely bad way they deal with it. The movie starts off strong but ends up losing it's way about halfway through and the ending is completely out of step with what happens prior. It's interesting, but not as entertaining as Bad Day for the Cut.  If you've seen these, let us know what you thought by writing to us at flickersfrom@yahoo.com or flickersfrom@gmail.com.
