Summary
<p>Kelsi and Trey review Zach Cregger’s movie <em>Weapons</em>, sharing how they spoke with Cregger and how he sent them the screenplay after hearing their <em>Barbarian</em> deep dive (available now on Patreon). They dig into the current wave of modern horror shaped by filmmakers like Jordan Peele and Ari Aster, then explore how Cregger has quickly made his mark by balancing sharp genre thrills, dark humor, and deeply weird vibes into a style all his own.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/_FhSRMOPkwY?si=OlDoCgZr-1ThMvT4">The Extra Credits YouTube Channel</a></p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/TheExtraCredits">Become a member of The Extra Credits+ on Patreon here</a></p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/how-to-listen-to-25792543"></a></p><p><a href="https://boxd.it/2ABkt">Letterboxd: The Extra Credits</a></p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@theextracreditspodcast">TikTok: The Extra Credits</a></p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/TheExtraCredits/">Reddit: r/TheExtraCredits</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/theextracredits/">Instagram: @theextracredits</a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/TheExtraCredits">Twitter: @theextracredits</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Send requests, questions, and thoughts to our email: extracreditspod@gmail.com</p>
