Featuring: Filmspotting Podcast | Fall Movie Preview and The Social Reckoning | #1085
With the fall film festival season (mostly) in the rearview and release dates set through the end of the year, Adam and Josh hold a Fall Movie Preview Draft that sees them largely ignoring obvious picks like Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three in favor of battling over some of the most intriguing indies still to come. Plus, a review of Aaron Sorkin's The Social Reckoning and Massacre Theatre.

KILLER CARGO - Act Three
🎧 KILLER CARGO — Act Three | Written by Heather Foster Christmas Eve. Branson, Missouri. One billionaire with a God complex. One alien with an insatiable appetite. One private jet that really, really should have stayed on the ground. Just when flight attendant Anita Fitzgerald and her insufferable copilot, Kevin Powers, think they've survived the worst Christmas Eve in aviation history, their billionaire boss, Daria Jagoda, arrives with armed reinforcements, a billion-dollar plan, and absolutely no intention of admitting she might have made a mistake. Turns out the monster isn't a mistake. It's an investment. Daria is convinced her murderous little science project will save humanity. Unfortunately, humanity keeps getting eaten, Kevin is barely holding himself together, and Anita is discovering that the only thing more dangerous than an extraterrestrial killing machine is a billionaire who believes her own inspirational bullshit. Now the creature is growing, the body count is climbing, and the only way to stop the nightmare might be to get back on the very plane that started it. KILLER CARGO reaches its gloriously unhinged conclusion with more carnage, more spectacularly bad decisions, and one flight attendant who has officially had enough of everyone's shit. Buckle up. This is going to be one hell of a landing. Featuring Ashley Bell as Anita Fitzgerald, Darin Toonder as Kevin Powers, Shaan Sharma as Captain Charles Song, Jade Tailor as Daria Jagoda, Charles Halford as Cliff Krantz, Ed You as Idris Bowman, Matt Curtin as Arnie Heim, and Sarah Phillips as Madge, with Tim Friedlander narrating. Act Three of Three. Written by Heather Foster. Produced by Table Read Podcast and Manifest Media Productions, LLC.

KILLER CARGO - Act Two
🎧 KILLER CARGO — Act Two | Written by Heather Foster Christmas Eve. Branson, Missouri. One deserted airport. One forty-foot Christmas tree. One passenger who was never supposed to get off the plane. Flight attendant Anita Fitzgerald and her insufferable copilot, Kevin Powers, have somehow survived the flight from hell. The jet is on the ground, the cabin door is shut, and whatever crawled out of that mysterious cargo pod is safely locked inside. Or so they think. While Kevin self-medicates with stolen whiskey and a Santa hat, Anita waits for their billionaire boss to arrive with help. Meanwhile, a foul-mouthed cleaning woman is having a spectacularly bad night, the Christmas decorations are about to become a serious liability, and something very hungry has discovered the joys of airport travel. Turns out surviving the flight was the easy part. KILLER CARGO is back with more mayhem, more questionable decisions, and a rapidly growing alien with absolutely no respect for personal space. The terminal is closed, the body count is rising, and the only thing standing between humanity and a very unpleasant Christmas morning might be two people who can barely stand each other. Featuring Ashley Bell as Anita Fitzgerald, Darin Toonder as Kevin Powers, Shaan Sharma as Captain Charles Song, Jade Tailor as Daria Jagoda, Charles Halford as Cliff Krantz, Ed You as Idris Bowman, Matt Curtin as Arnie Heim, and Sarah Phillips as Madge, with Tim Friedlander narrating. Act Two of Three. Written by Heather Foster. Produced by Table Read Podcast and Manifest Media Productions, LLC.

KILLER CARGO - Act 1
🎧 KILLER CARGO | Act One | Written by Heather Foster Christmas Eve. Springfield, Missouri. One luxury jet. One secret shipment. One spectacularly bad idea. For flight attendant Anita Fitzgerald, the night is already complicated. She's sleeping with a married captain, dodging the advances of an insufferable copilot, and trying to survive another holiday in the service of the obscenely wealthy. Then three nervous men board with a six-foot, frosted-white container. Nobody will say what's inside. Nobody wants to be near it. And somewhere over Missouri, something starts moving. KILLER CARGO is a wickedly funny, gloriously twisted sci-fi horror ride where the seats are leather, the liquor is top-shelf, and turbulence is the least of anyone's problems. Featuring Ashley Bell as Anita Fitzgerald, Darin Toonder as Kevin Powers, Shaan Sharma as Captain Charles Song, Jade Tailor as Daria Jagoda, Charles Halford as Cliff Krantz, Ed You as Idris Bowman, Matt Curtin as Arnie Heim, and Sarah Phillips as Madge, with Tim Friedlander narrating. Act One of Three. Written by Heather Foster. Produced by Table Read Podcast and Manifest Media Productions, LLC.
