Nine years, six seasons, 443 episodes, and we're still not dead! We're undead. Mwahahaha! Cinema D’Amore celebrates its ninth anniversary with a trip to the zombie-infested Monroeville Mall! Justin and Chuck revisit George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead (1978), the Pittsburgh horror classic that turned a shopping mall into the ultimate post-apocalyptic playground. They dive into the film’s memorable characters, practical effects, dark humor, and biting commentary on consumerism. Along the way, they reflect on its lasting influence on horror, its place in Pittsburgh history, and the changing fate of the real-life mall.

What happens when a virus doesn't turn people into mindless zombies, but instead unleashes their darkest impulses? On this episode of Cinema D’Amore, Chuck and Justin dive into The Sadness (哭悲), Rob Jabbaz’s relentlessly brutal Taiwanese horror film about a mysterious infection that transforms ordinary people into intelligent, sadistic killers. They discuss the film’s shocking practical gore, its unforgettable subway massacre, and how it pushes the boundaries of extreme horror. Drawing comparisons to 28 Days Later and Evil Dead, they explore the film’s pandemic-era anxieties, its disturbing portrayal of human nature, and what happens when society loses all restraint.

This week on Cinema D’Amore, Justin and Chuck dive into Shinichi Nagasaki’s Shikoku (1999), a haunting tale of lost love, restless spirits, and a mother determined to resurrect her daughter.

Chuck and Justin dive into Noroi: The Curse (ノロイ), a landmark Japanese found-footage horror film that slowly turns seemingly unrelated footage into an increasingly disturbing supernatural mystery. They discuss the film’s documentary-style structure, unsettling recurring motifs, standout scenes, and how seemingly insignificant details build toward genuinely unnerving payoffs. They also explore the film’s atmosphere and slow-burn approach to horror, while sharing their favorite moments.

Justin and Chuck discuss Paul Greengrass’s United 93, while reflecting on the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. With deep respect for the passengers and crew of Flight 93, and everyone whose lives were changed by that day, they discuss the film’s grounded realism, its use of unknown actors and non-actors, and Greengrass’s decision to keep the story narrow in an effort to preserve authenticity. The episode explores the challenges of portraying real tragedy, the limited facts surrounding Flight 93’s final moments, and how United 93 avoids turning its subject into spectacle. They also discuss the film’s handheld cinematography, its place among other post-9/11 films, and how perceptions of security and air travel have changed since that day.

Chuck and Justin take a long walk through Francis Lawrence’s adaptation of Stephen King’s The Long Walk. The hosts compare the film to The Running Man and other King adaptations while digging into its pacing, directing choices, performances, and bleak social commentary. They praise the cast, question the film’s deliberately static cinematography, and explore its themes of poverty, spectacle, and exploitation. Plus, they debate the meaning of the ambiguous ending, and whether it ultimately changes anything about the dystopian world King has created.

Justin and Chuck take a fresh look at Good Will Hunting, asking why Gus Van Sant’s 1997 drama has remained so beloved, what hasn’t aged as well, and what still hits hard nearly 30 years later. They discuss Robin Williams’ unforgettable performance, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s Oscar-winning screenplay, and the film’s mix of humor, sentimentality, and working-class Boston grit.
