Listen "Gatlopp (2022)"
Episode Synopsis
A riff on the "supernatural board game" subgenre that was shot on a microbudget during the Covid-19 pandemic, Gatlopp focuses on four estranged friends who briefly reunite when one of them starts going through a tough divorce. Their awkward attempt to reconnect ultimately leads to them trying out the titular game, an experience that forces each of them to confront aspects of their lives they'd prefer not to acknowledge. Unfortunately for the players, Gatlopp promises damnation to anyone who can't (or won't) follow its rules.
Ryan is joined by Cheryl and Sylvan for an in-depth conversation about this deceptively introspective horror comedy. Thematic talking points this time include the strain of maintaining adult friendships, the parallels between this film's subtext and the pandemic that informed many of its creative decisions, and the inevitable comparisons to Jumanji and Zathura.
