Plus The Mermaid and a segment called “Alex Proyas: Good Director?”

Katey has disappeared to prepare for Oscar coverage, so Da7e, Patches and David strike up another Brocast. First, With Gods of Egypt coming to theaters this week, Patches wants to ask: “Alex Proyas: good director?” Then, David catches Patches and Da7e up on China’s newest theatrical sensation The Mermaid. Finally, the trio talk about some of the backlash recently against The Witch (which we discussed last episode) and debate the semantics of “scary” when it comes to horror film.

To help the Da7e monster self-actualize, he brought in returning guest Perri Nemiroff so he wouldn’t be shouting alone, into a void
