[Podcast] Double Murder: Episode 46 – Mama vs The Orphanage
This month on Double Murder, in which two movies enter but only one movie leaves, Danny! and Tim review two Guillermo del Toro produced films: Mama (2013) vs The Orphanage (2007). Both films deal with kids, moms, and ghosts, and both films mix children’s fantasy with horror; a trademark of del Toro. Tune in to find out which one of these films is best forgotten and which you should go out and see immediately (if you haven’t already). The guys also discuss the origins of Casper The “Friendly” Ghost, sorcery, swords, vengeance, t-shirts, and mistakes in past episodes. Why are you still reading this!? LISTEN TO DOUBLE MURDER NOW!!!
Before he returns to the world of It Follows for upcoming sequel They Follow, director David Robert Mitchell is first playing around with dinosaurs in The End of Oak Street.
The upcoming dinosaur movie from Warner Bros. and producer J.J. Abrams has been rated PG-13 this week for “some strong violent content, bloody images, some strong language and suggestive material.” Look for the event film in theaters August 14, 2026.
Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor come face-to-face with a monstrous threat in The End of Oak Street, which looks like M. Night Shyamalan with retro-style Amblin vibes.
The End of Oak Street is set in the early 1980s…
In the film, “After a mysterious cosmic event rips Oak Street from suburbia and transports their neighborhood to someplace unknown, the Platt family soon discovers that their very survival depends on them sticking together as they navigate their now unrecognizable surroundings.”
Maisy Stella and Christian Convery also star.
The film is written and directed by David Robert Mitchell and produced by J.J. Abrams, Hannah Minghella, Jon Cohen, David Robert Mitchell, Matt Jackson and Tommy Harper. The executive producers are Chris Bender, Jake Weiner, Joanne Lee and Leeann Stonebreaker.
