Spooky season is well under way, so it's time to get those scary films out.

And in today's episode of The Third Reel: A Movie Podcast, we've chosen to dive into the tense, heart-pounding world of home invasion horror as we pit Hush against Don't Breathe! Which film utilises disability in their narrative better? Who has the best villain? What film made you feel more tense? These are just some of the categories we will cover and critique to find out which one reigns supreme. 5 categories in total, rated out of 5 each. Let's do it.

Join us as we break down the nerve-wracking suspense, clever twists, and terrifying villains in these modern horror gems. Whether you're a thriller fan or just looking for some Halloween movie night inspiration, TTR is the place to listen for a scary night in.

FULL SPOILERS FOR HUSH AND DON'T BREATHE IN THIS EPISODE. You have been warned.

Agree with our decision? What would you rate these films in each of these categories? Any more suggestions for future Vs. episodes? We want to know! Email us at thirdreelpod@gmail.com or through X/Twitter or Instagram @third_reel_pod

In today's episode of The Third Reel, we review, in full, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (or Sorcerer's Stone if you're in the States).

This is part of our Review Series where we will be going act by act, scene by scene, and scoring out of 10 each film in the franchise from Harry's measly beginnings to his triumphant end. 8 films in total, better get going then. Once we reach that last film, we shall see TTR's definitive ranking of the Harry Potter universe...

FULL SPOILERS FOR HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE IN THIS EPISODE. You have been warned.

This episode was recorded prior to passing of the legendary Dame Maggie Smith, whose iconic portrayal of Professor McGonagall remains forever in our hearts. So please forgive the lack of acknowledgement in this episode and know we will honour her in a future Harry Potter episode.
