Episode 289: The Ugly Stepsister/Condemned to Live

Hello and welcome listeners to Episode 289 of Journey with a Cinephile: A Horror Movie Podcast. In this episode, your tour guide, David Garrett Jr., continues his Voyage through the FiVes, Episode #8. This sees Featured Reviews of The Ugly Stepsister (2025) and Condemned to Live (1935). This is another pairing showing the darkside of the human psyche and how we see ourselves can affect the things we do. I also got to see these films for Mini-Reviews: Silver Bullet (1985), Blind Woman’s Curse (1970), Deep Red (1975) and Companion (2025). I’ve also got two documentaries to cover of Monster Madness: The Gothic Revival of Horror (2015) and The Flatwoods Monster: A Legacy of Fear (2018). I hope you enjoy coming on this journey with me!
