Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

For this Halloween episode of The Physical Cut, I’m joined by Jenny from the Crypt for a conversation about growing up with horror in Spain, discovering Spanish horror cinema, and finding community through a genre that has always made room for the weird and misunderstood.

We talk about women’s perspectives in horror, neurodivergence and the characters who challenge expectations, the difference between mainstream horror and the films that stay with us, and why supporting women in the horror community matters. Jenny also shares some of her favorite Spanish horror discoveries, from [REC] to Who Can Kill a Child? and The Wait, alongside the personal memories that shaped her love of the genre.

Plus, we discuss Halloween favorites, underrated horror gems, the movies that genuinely scare us, and what Scream means to horror fans who grew up outside the United States as we celebrate its 30th anniversary.

In this episode:

• Growing up with horror in Spain and discovering Spanish horror cinema
• Women in horror, representation, and challenging genre stereotypes
• How horror connects with neurodivergence and feeling like an outsider
• Spanish horror recommendations, from [REC] to Who Can Kill a Child?
• Collecting horror and the personal memories attached to physical media
• Halloween favorites, underrated films, and the movies that still scare us
• Celebrating 30 years of Scream and its impact on horror fandom

Where will physical media collectors go to now?

The Movie Room built a strong reputation in the physical media community, particularly for its packaging, selection, pricing, and collector-focused approach. But over the past few months, unfulfilled orders, delayed shipments, communication issues, and questions about the company’s future have created a growing amount of frustration among collectors.

In this episode, Krloz takes a closer look at the situation following Jake from Steelbook Obsessed’s interview with Deborah from The Movie Room. We talk about the outstanding orders, the company’s explanation for the delays, the impact of health and family circumstances, the decision to continue operating the website, and why the issue has become such a major conversation within the collecting community.

But this isn't simply about piling on a small business. It's also about the relationship between collectors and the independent retailers that help keep physical media alive. How much sympathy should we have for a struggling small business, and at what point does a customer's responsibility end and the retailer's begin?

And with The Movie Room potentially selling off its remaining inventory, what does this situation mean for the future of small physical media retailers, and the trust collectors place in them?

What happens when Zach Cregger takes on Resident Evil?

Krlozis joined by Rick from Frightology Degree to break down the 2026 horror film — what worked, what didn't, and whether Cregger's mix of horror and comedy actually fits the franchise.

We talk about Cregger's approach to the material, the success of Obsession and what it says about the current appetite for horror, the movie's atmosphere and scares, its shift in tone once the story reaches Raccoon City, the supporting characters, and that divisive final stretch.

Rick also shares his perspective as a longtime Resident Evil video-game fan, while Krloz comes at the movie more as a casual viewer — making for a conversation about whether the film needs to be faithful to the games to work.

We cover:

• Resident Evil (2026) first reactions
• Zach Cregger's direction and horror style
• The balance between horror and comedy
• What works in the film's first half
• The shift in tone and pacing
• Raccoon City, the hospital and lab sequences
• Favorite scares and moments
• What could have been done differently
• Whether Cregger should make a sequel
• Would we see it again — and would we own it on physical media?

Plus, Rick talks about his horror writing, his Substack, and Frightology Degree Podcast, where he's taking his friend Tom deeper into the world of horror.
