Note sull'episodio
This week, we’re heading into the abandoned halls of Danvers State Hospital for Session 9 (2001). Brad Anderson’s psychological horror movie gives us asbestos removal, creepy recorded therapy sessions, the most inefficient crew ever, and one increasingly unsettling question: what exactly is happening to Gordon? We talk about the real Danvers hospital, the movie’s slow-burn atmosphere, Mary Hobbes and her alternate personalities, what’s actually happening versus what’s in Gordon’s head, and why this movie gets a whole lot creepier once everything starts falling into place.
Also: Road rage. Beverly Susan Sassafras. Breaking and entering. Lots of science. Investigating everyone. Mad Dog Brown. Accidentally renting The Good Son because you thought Macaulay Culkin meant family movie. Eventually we remember we’re discussing Session 9, hand out some Dumbest Decision Awards, make our Rules of Engagement, figure out whether any of us would survive Danvers, and ask the question that really matters: Does Session 9 join the club?
