afrAId (2024) - Too Long; Didn't Watch
About this episode
The hosts discuss the first act of the movie afrAId (2024) and speculate on its plot twists.
Nightmare on Film Street returns March 5th! And in the meantime, we're sharing with you the first episode of our new Fiend Club mini-series "Too Long; Didn't Watch" where we only watch the 1st act of a movie we previously skipped (because it looked too predictable) and do our best to guess how the movie ends. We've all complained that modern horror movies are too formulaic and that Hollywood is out of original ideas, endlessly reusing overworked plots or spoon-feeding us copy+paste stories. So, rather than spend what precious little time we have left, we're only allowing ourselves to see the first 30(ish) minutes of a movie before sitting down to record, placing bets on what we think the big twists & turns will be before finding out how accurately we predicted those familiar beats by reading through the Wikipedia synopsis. First up on our speculative sideshow is afrAId (2024) , the AI based techo-horror that is already way outdated BUT accurately predicted how evil Artificial Intelligence would soon become. Join your horror hosts Kimmi and Jon as they brainstorm what could have been, and find out what they got horribly wrong about this Blumhouse robo terror in the inaugural…
