Warhammer DNA

It’s been a while since we’ve done an Unusual Double Feature, one of our favorite episode themes, so we are long overdue! This time though, it feels a little less unusual and a little more like a movie blind date - this week, we’re pairing up Sunshine (2007) and Event Horizon (1997)! This is more of a blind date because, like many couples who get set up by other people, these movies seem very similar on the surface: films set in space about going out towards unknown horizons with horror elements and multiple actors that the Sneople enjoy. The surface level is never enough for our hosts, of course, and it’s on a deeper dive that we start to see the real differences between these two cult classics - once of which being that one is better than we remember and one is. not as good as we remember. Maybe this blind date won’t work out after all. Warning: there are spoilers abounds for both movies this episode but also Event Horizon is from the last century and Sunshine came out almost 20 years ago so we don’t feel too bad about it.
