This week, the Portal takes an usually serious, scary, and mature turn as the Geeks review the 1982 supernatural horror film, "The Entity," a movie about a struggling single mother who is repeatedly assaulted & violated by a malevolent & unseen force.
- Which genres & specific movies does Preston compare to this movie?
- How well does this movie explore tough topics like trauma, abuse, survivorship, etc.?
- What moments or plot points were shot but left out of the movie?
- What kind of special effects were used for one disturbing bedroom scene?
- How much is this movie inspired by an alleged real-life poltergeist case?
- What are some of the theories on who or what the entity actually is?
- How effective (or not) or out-of-place (or not) was the ending of the movie?
- How do the tough themes in the movie lead to a few tangents about hot-button issues of today and things going on in the news (including the switching of teams by a politician from the Geeks' home state)?
- What bizarre way did Todd find an excuse to once again mention the quirky 1990s CBS dramedy "Picket Fences"? (We get it; you binge-rewatched the show on Hulu last year. In fairness, he didn't mention "Babylon 5" this time tough.)
- What is Preston's explanation for how the protagonist is able to detect that the entity is weaker at one point?
- This was one of the Dave Teague picks left on topics list after he passed away. Why did the Geeks think Dave Teague wanted us to watch this movie?
- Todd said his objectivity & subjectivity were at odds with each other on this movie. How did that affect his final grade?
- How far apart (or not) were Todd & Preston's grades on the movie despite agreeing so much on the quality & content?
- And, what movie did the Geeks randomly roll to review soon?
Listen now for the answers to these and other questions as the Geeks attempt to examine...but not be haunted by...The Entity.
