ALTERED STATES & ENTERTAINMENT #33 (CHRONICLE)

About this episode

Nikki Mayhem and guest Ashton discuss the 2012 film Chronicle, exploring its themes and comedic elements.

This week, Nikki Mayhem and the resident movie oracle BEEBO dive deep into the 2012 found-footage sci-fi flick, Chronicle. Joining the absolute chaos is special guest Ashton, because apparently, misery loves company. ​We’re breaking down what happens when three high schoolers gain telekinetic powers and immediately use them to prank people in grocery stores, fly into thunderstorms, and ultimately have the most destructive, angst-fueled temper tantrum in cinematic history. Is it a masterclass in found-footage filmmaking, or just a cautionary tale about what happens when you don't hug your kids? So pick your poison and get Altered with us! ​Expect the usual: heavy tangents, zero filter, absolute nonsense, and BEEBO dropping "expert" knowledge.
