Chris says he wonders how he has seen so little of del Toro horror, and Adam agrees the show should cover more. Adam says del Toro uses practical effects where he can and enhances them with CGI, which is the best way to do it.

In their own words
Adam I mean, let's face it, Guillermo del Toro, it's going to be rich. That's that, you know, because weirdly enough, because I was talking to someone, I was talking to someone in the week about it and saying I was sort of like, you know, I'll probably watch it, I haven't got Netflix at the moment anyway, so that's sort of put it put it on the back burner. And I was kind of, I'm going to watch it, but I'm sort of Guillermo del Toro, I'm definitely always the Spanish language stuff is the stuff I really love. And funnily enough, you know, Crimson Peak we were talking about just because it was like, you know, Crimson Peak was okay. But again, I think that was the point where I was like, I mean, it looks fucking amazing, no problem, but weirdly enough, I think what Crimson Peak is missing is Vincent Price.
Ep 236 We have been watchingAdam I mean, he's particularly, I mean, I I his English language stuff, but I love his Spanish stuff.
Ep 241 We have been watchingChris But anyway, I really enjoyed it. It was like, yeah, it was it was fascinating. It hooked me right from the off and, yeah. So but the thing that I thought was, how have I not seen more Guillermo del Toro horror? Like, I think, I can only think of Pan's Labyrinth.
Ep 241 We have been watchingAdam Yeah. That's I mean, we we need to do we need to do more Guillermo del Toro on on the show, I think.
Ep 241 We have been watchingAdam That's that's that's Guillermo del Toro, he will he will use practical where he can and he enhances with CGI, which is kind of the best, the best you can hope for, really, that's the best way you can do it.
Ep 236 We have been watchingLee But yes, so go and check out Razorblade Smile, go and check out the Guillermo del Toro Frankenstein exhibit if you can. If not, watch the film cuz it looks like it's going to be, I mean, it's going to be good, isn't it? If you're going to put that in anyone's hands, he's the person I'd trust more than anybody.
