Behind the Scenes: SYNCHRONIC with Justin Benson and Aaron Moorehead

<p dir="ltr">Rob and I got into a marital tift the other night because I made the claim that I never lie.  He didn’t agree.  He contests that I omit details in a way that leads people to believe something that isn’t true. That’s not lying right? That’s just a totally healthy need for people to like me.  So, in our interview with <a href= "https://www.alternateending.com/?s=justin+benson">Justin Benson</a> and Aaron Moorehead, this plays out something like this, - “I have to tell you, in the first 2 minutes of <em>Synchronic</em> I was totally getting vibes of <a href= "https://www.alternateending.com/2019/07/midsommar-2019.html"><em>Midsommar</em></a>…” and what I was about to say was “THANK GOD it wasn’t like that, because that movie was the WORST” but Moorehead jumped in to let me know that “If I loved <em>Midsommar</em>… I should definitely check out his film “<a href= "https://www.alternateending.com/2018/08/the-endless-2017.html"><em>The Endless</em></a>” to which I replied, “Ooooh… I’ll definitely have to check that out!” But see, I didn’t say what movie or when I would be checking it out…so see? Not a lie. (<em>Edit: It turns out, I've see The Endless...shhh don't tell</em>)</p> <h2 dir="ltr">A bit about <em>Synchronic</em></h2> <p dir="ltr">Two friends Steve (<a href= "https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1107001/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0">Anthony Mackie</a>) and Dennis (<a href= "https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1946193/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0">Jamie Dornan</a>) are best friends and are working as paramedics on the night shift.  They begin to encounter a series of strange deaths and people in hypnotic-like states that they link to a new designer drug, <em>Synchronic</em>.</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.alternateending.com/?attachment_id=46131" rel= "attachment wp-att-46131"><img class="wp-image-46131 alignleft" src="https://www.alternateending.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/synchronic-film-review-1140x641-1.jpg" alt="Synchronic " width="501" height="334" /></a></p> <p dir="ltr">In the mix of all of this Dennis’s daughter
