WORLD OF DEATH Ep. 67 – Memitim / Marhaba
Oh hi there! You seem to have stumbled into a very thought provoking episode of World of Death! Today’s episode is all about the wrathful side of God, and God as a victim itself.
First in MEMITIM by Ryan Tse, a memitim (angel of death) explains the reason she is here on earth, and what will become of sinners when the judgement day comes. MEMITIM is beautifully shot, I love the establishing shots of the barn and the way the light filters almost ethereally in through the cracks in the barn boards. I get a big FRAILTY (Bill Paxton) vibe from the message of the film, that leaves me uneasy. How can something so good, do things so horrible? “The Lord works in mysterious ways”.
Next in Mikel Iriarte’s MARHABA (God is love), we get a bit of a lesson on how we treat the Earth, and God itself, when the narrator tells us to think of the Earth and God, and it’s imperfections, as we would a woman, and how hurting said woman doesn’t make much sense, and yet we hurt the Earth every day. It’s an interesting and thought provoking message, how far will we really take it?
We hope that out of today’s episode you can find the religious assistance you’re looking for. Or, if you like, HEY LOOK! BLOOD!
Stay scared, flock.

The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
