Episode 163: The Final Destination

Episode 163 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell are here to complete another lap in their ongoing drive to cover movies of any year, any genre and any quality.

In the penultimate episode of the current Final Destination miniseries, your hosts take a look at 2009's THE FINAL DESTINATION which, as we now know, wasn't the final one at all but was the one that initially looked to end the franchise with a 3-D bang. Hayley tries out the 3-D home version and that goes just about as well as can be expected.

In terms of what's in the actual movie itself, there's discussion of some dodgy CGI, unnecessary racism, gratuitous nudity and a lot of shade thrown on the character of Hunt. Also, there's a talk of how Mykelti Willamson can lift a movie, some director name referencing that's lacking in the prestige of the previous movies' namedrops (although gets to mention Andy Milligan) and the omission of a certain Mr Tony Todd. Hayley also confronts her fear of escalators and Darren confronts his fear of having to watch this movie again.

Want another thrill ride? Check out the music of Mitch Bain. Among his many projects, he's the writer and performer of our podcast's tunes and he's on Instagram if you look for "evertheoptimitch".
