Episode 145 - The Entity

theentity.jpeg

Based on real events! Barbara Hershey shines in this paranormal thriller that delves into some very upsetting content, but one thing’s for sure; Stan Winston’s full body prosthetic of her being groped by an invisible force is second to none. More like two separate movies, this one never quite reached the level of its more well known contemporaries, but that didn’t keep it from earning a “rent” from Ryan on the merits of Ms. Hershey’s performance, while Tim stayed in his usual place with a “stream”. Either way, the guys still think this one is worth the watch and a fun delving into the actual case it’s based on.
