HAPPY HALLOWEEEEN

As ya’ll saw, if you tuned into the regularly scheduled Thursday content of Cheap Seats predictions and reacting to your music live stream, we busted out our best costumes. Hawk-Tua jersey combo was done for the first time in human history and I dawned the infamous Shroker paint for stream.

God I love Halloween, so much that I might even give five of my fav horror movies in this bitch. Anyways things are chugging along here at the Hivemind stu and we have a ton of exciting videos coming your way, collabs, new games, extra patreon content, and oh so much more.

Hope you enjoy this week's news and have a safe and crazy weekend.

WEEKLY PLAYLIST

Grant’s spooky stuff…

MOVIE REVIEW

5 Horror Movies I’d Recommend

1. Climax (2018) directed by Oliver Noe

This is the freak who brought us Enter the Void but I like this movie more. It;s slightly more elegant in delivery but still ultimately 90 minutes of disturbing fuckery in beautiful lighting.

2. Suspiria (1977) directed by Dario Argentio

This is the OG I know a lot of you have probably seen or at least heard of the new one (which is great too). But this mf is so disturbing - I always find myself recommending this to friends ‘round Halloween because despite being regarded as a classic, it still feels slept on due to its subtitles.

3. The Wailing (2016) directed by Na Hong-jin

Detective suspense horror? This bastard is long and can feel like a slow go, but for fans of that creepy drip this shit is awesome, definitely worth a watch in the dark if you have the whole night.

4. Audition (1999) directed by Takashi Miike

Fuck it, there’s mostly foreign movies here because they are just better at fucking with your head. This is awesome torture trickery sadism stuff with some really memorable scenes (;.

5. Saint Maude (2019) directed by Rose Glass

The director of Love Lies Bleeding (which fucking rocks) did this movie before and it is a fun, dark ridiculous religious movie with some totally weird scenes and an ending that’ll make you giggle and wince. A little less fucked up than the previous mentioned ones, so if you’re a casual spooky person try this one.

SPORTS

Browns Football is Back

The god damn Browns are finally a team you can root for again thanks to the explosion of Deshaun Watson's achilles, which elevated the evangelical Jameis Winston to QB1. I don’t have too much to say but it is amazing what one week can do for a man’s happiness. The weight lifted off of this team was visible through the screen last Sunday and calling cards of defense and playaction rose to the surface given competent quarterback play. 

The emergence or rather arrival of Cedric Tillman is worth a huge note here because we’ve spent the last few preseasons hearing tale after tale of this big physical fast wide receiver who became a quick favorite of Jameis Winstons. JW also was able to spread it around and get Njoku in the endzone and make Elijah Moore look productive just as Flacco did last year.

Now I’m not saying faith is restored as in we’re gonna make a run at the playoffs, because I think injuries and Chubb’s lack of game changing ability at the moment will ultimately hamper us from beating teams like Pittsburgh and KC. But, I am saying there is a chance for us to be competitive and crazier things have happened. And the angel of Jim Donovan is looking over us so I will be watching with a sense of revitalized joy. Thank you - Go B’s.

CRONK’S UPDATE

Hello, readers of the newsletter. This week, I played the new Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. It was fun.

My question for you is: Are you reading this right now? The newsletter has lots of things more interesting than my drum set and car. I also like Coke Zero, cats, and washing dishes. Is this information helpful?
