Weapons (2025) movie review

🎃 Boos, Bros, & BS – Episode 1: "Weapons of Grief"

Our first spooky season episode dives into Zach Cregger’s Weapons, written after the sudden death of his friend and WKU co-creator Trevor Moore. Each character embodies an emotion Cregger was processing—survivor’s guilt, anger, sadness, and more. We explore the film’s eerie 2:17 a.m. moment, its connections to The Shining, Zach’s denial of political intent, his use of Transcendental Meditation as a writing technique, and David Lynch’s surreal influence. We also touch on witchcraft and occult imagery in the film. Tune in for chills, laughs, and deep discussion.
