Kevin Durand makes a huge impression on the Grue-crew with his starring role in DARK WAS THE NIGHT. The Black Saint praises the character driven plot and the actors that bring the film to life. Doc and Thomas are less impressed but praise Durand agreeing that they want to see more from this terrific actor. In Doc's opinion, the creature effect have him longing for the days of Pumpkinhead and the like - perhaps, he's a bit too curmudgeon.

Thomas steps in to discuss the top movie at the box this weekend, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation. He discusses how the film holds up in comparison to other MI entries and praises the actress Rebecca Ferguson as a break-out star. Thomas also dives into the stunts, Tom Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie.

Thomas shares the Horror News of the Week with news of another genre actor passing, R.I.P. Roddy Rowdy Piper who gave us the greatest line of the Eighties, "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass...and I'm all out of bubble gum." In trailer news, the upcoming Deadpool film gets a trailer for its upcoming trailer. Woof! Ridley Scott is reporting that he begins shooting Prometheus 2 in early 2016. Gil Kennan is set to direct the adaptation of the popular horror game, Five Nights at Freddy's. We've been "Blum-ed" again as Frank Grillo returns to The Purge 3.
