ScaryCrit: A Black Horror Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

....We missed y'all. Please excuse us for the unintentional hiatus but we have returned with a new episode and our second Special! Our first Special focused on season one of the horror anthology series Them, Them: Covenant (2021). With season two, titled Them: The Scare (2024) having been recently released, we had to strike while the iron was hot with another Special. We get into what we thought about the season, the casting, execution of theme and ideas and how it compares to S1. So lock in, turn up that volume up and get cozy with 99 1/2!

We'll unravel the layers of Bateman's psyche, discussing the blurred lines between reality and delusion, the cultural and intersectional commentary, and the film's enduring impact on pop culture.

Timing was on our side for our season 8 finale, as we decided to go with a good ol' fashioned bookend—anybody remember the season premiere? That's right! Our film for today is none other than the just-released Evil Dead Rise (2023)! The trope for this one centers on murderous mothers so you know we get into all the things possessive, obsessive and manipulative parenting (which goes a bit differently in the Evil Dead universe). Now, if y'all have not seen the movie and don't want to be spoiled, you might want to do what Danny should've done and not press play! We'd hate to ruin the experience for you. Other than that, get ready to dig into some murderous maternal mayhem as we react, critique and ponder on the newest installment in the Evil Dead franchise.

As always Critters, thank you for all the love and listens during another season! We feel like we're growing every day and couldn't have done it without you. As usual, we'll be taking a break after this episode but don't worry. We'll be hard at work planning out what we hope to be our biggest season yet, our #roadto100 season! It's not every day you make it to 100 episodes so we're going to do our best to make S9 something special, for you and ourselves. Feel free to binge on all our episodes during the wait. It'll be worth it!

Our trope this week dear Critters is that of witches, who we stan over at ScaryCrit. For this one, we're lighting a candle and opening the book to Robert Egger's 2015 folk-horror gem, The VVitch.

From Egger's ardent direction when it came to historical authenticity, to Thomasin's plight and Jared's passion for good for her!  stories, there's so much to conjure up while talking about this film: The actual factual history of witches being in direct opposition to patriarchy and the stringent ideals of men and church, what it means to be goaded into becoming that which you're accused of being, how the cauldron was dropped when it came to marketing, and how this film challenges expectations and perceptions of antagonists and happy endings—there's so much magic happening in today's episode. Get into it!

Ooooh, it's playtime over at ScaryCrit today as we unbox 1991's plastic horror Dolly Dearest. While the 90s are well known to have been in the grip of another tiny terror, Dolly Dearest still offers a lot for us to talk about, from Dolly's design, the family dynamics of the Wades, stark cultural differences and the uncanny.  So come join us in the dollhouse—it's teatime!

It's a funhouse over at ScaryCrit today as we encounter Art the Clown in 2016's indie gore-fest, Terrifier. Coulrophobia, what may have inspired Terrifier, the strong and weak points of the film and how ridiculousness is Terrifier's fuse box are just some of the crazy things discussed in today's episode. And for our The Last of Us Part II (2020) players, Jared has finally made it to that moment; be sure to skip the cold opening if you want to avoid spoilers!

So, let's say your ex disappears for 2 years, pops back up with a new man, and invites you to a get-together out of the blue to "reconnect?" Well, that's just what happens to our buddy Will in 2015's indie thriller The Invitation, which we use as the crux for our trope this week: cults. Listen as we explore what cults are and why they have a draw, Will's trauma as a catalyst, the concept of the film's unnerving dinner party and The Invitation's theme of sacrifice and denial. As a bonus, we also recorded this during the airing of the 95th Academy Awards so some of our live reactions to winners was caught on film (hope you enjoy them and can maybe relate).

Scooby Doo and the gang been taught us, y'all: the monsters are (almost)  always human. That's our trope this week on ScaryCrit, with Lauren and Jared taking a look at one of the most harrowing horror/suspense films in recent memory, The Boy Behind the Door (2020). A vicious juxtaposition of violence against innocence, this Crit explores the intersectionality that instigates Bobby and Kevin's precarious situation as they try to get out of it, the film's genius, subversive handling of audience expectation and how absolutely dark this trope can be.

Trigger warning: like the film it covers, this episode contains discussion of violence against children. Listening discretion is advised.
