Cavebabble Podcast

Amber, Courtney and Kevin join us for what is supposed to be another Stories in the Dark episode, but which quickly descends into tales of dogs, odd sleep habits, and flatulence.

Like most Netflix users, we have a huge Instant Streaming queue, filled with titles which we may never watch. Thanks to me, our queue also is filled with movies Valerie doesn't recognize. It's time for a challenge! By title alone, can Valerie describe the plots of seven random films from our list? And once she learns the actual plots, can I convince her to watch these films with me? Can I convince you, as well? Purely for the fun of it! This episode is brought to you by Waiting In Line. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You can't get much different films than Neil Marshall's Doomsday, and Ang Lee's The Life of Pi. But much like Doomsday is a mashup of half a dozen or more science fiction and fantasy films, we see no reason not to cover both films in one Cavebabble episode. From the quarantined wilds of Scotland to a lifeboat bursting with the wild, we are here to chat about the nature of nature, and the humanity of humanity.
