About this episode

The episode reviews the movie 'Weapons' by Zach Cregger, exploring its emotional themes and connections to other works.

Our first spooky season episode dives into Zach Cregger’s Weapons, written after the sudden death of his friend and WKU co-creator Trevor Moore. Each character embodies an emotion Cregger was processing—survivor’s guilt, anger, sadness, and more. We explore the film’s eerie 2:17 a.m. moment, its connections to The Shining, Zach’s denial of political intent, his use of Transcendental Meditation as a writing technique, and David Lynch’s surreal influence. We also touch on witchcraft and occult imagery in the film. Tune in for chills, laughs, and deep discussion.
