Join S Michael, Slinky Giallo, and the lovely Erin Dawn as we discuss the 2019 Nicholas Cage cosmic horror vehicle THE COLOR OUT OF SPACE, based on a story by the great H.P. Lovecraft. Considered a good "starter package" for those who want to dip their toes in the cosmic horror subgenre, the film is chock full of madness, existential dread, body horror, strange phenomena from beyond, and, yes, plenty of Cage Rage! So get ready for a butt ton of magenta soaked terror as we do a deep dive into one of the better adaptations of Lovecraft's work practically guaranteed to scare you shitless!
