Here we go again! This is the thread where I will post details and reviews of my personal movie challenge where I gather a monthly "loot" of films based on a different set of criteria, combined with updates from my podcast, The Movie Loot.
Been doing this type of challenge for a good while now, but this is the second year (at least as far as the podcast's concerned), where I'm choosing only five (5) categories per month, along with a guest, so we can talk about those in a monthly episode.
Without further ado, here are the criteria for APRIL 2024:
A film with a budget of less than $500,000 (One Cent Day, April 1): Hundreds of Beavers
A film with Lon Chaney (born April 1): West of Zanzibar, The Monster
A film from Andrei Tarkovsky (born April 4): Ivan's Childhood
A film from Thailand (Thai New Year/Songkran, April 13): Death Whisperer
A film with a title that starts with the letters G or H: Host (2020)
Other films seen, not for the challenge:
Child's Play franchise: Child's Play (1988), Child's Play 2, Child's Play 3, Bride of Chucky, Seed of Chucky, Curse of Chucky
Pre-Code films: Kongo, Three on a Match
Other films: AINBO: Spirit of the Amazon, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, A Panicky Picnic
For anybody curious, here are the threads for previous years: 2021, 2022, and 2023. Once again, I will continue with 5 films per month, which gives me some space to catch up on other "freebies" without being so strict.
I will also continue to use the thread to post new episodes of my podcast, which you can find on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and any audio/podcast platform.
Anyway, anybody is welcome to offer recommendations for any category, and anybody is welcome to join in the challenge and watch films with me. Let's loot!
