| Hereditary and The Exorcist: The Origins of "Elevated Horror" | 28 May 2025 | 02:05:29 | |
I don’t know if you’ve heard, but demonic possession is a realproblem. So, we’ve contacted a horror movie EXPERT, Jack Densley, to help us dissectthe films “Hereditary” and, his specialty, “The Exorcist” in order to survive this supernaturalcrisis. The discussion centres around the idea of the phrase “elevated horror”, which, while mildly insulted to the genre as a whole, does highlight how unique these movies are and the ways in which Ari Aster was inspired by William Friedkin’s classic genre-defining flick.

| Babylon and Singin' in the Rain: To Live and Breathe for the Movies! | 07 May 2025 | 02:29:50 | |
Ladies, Gentlemen and everyone in between welcome to an episode with state of the art technology- a moving picture! (we have a filmed episode up on youtube). Singin' in the Rain and Babylon both track the transition in the film industry from the silent films to the talkies. For Don Lockwood, lead of The classic musical, its a breeze except for his squawking co-star Lena whom he has attached at the hip. From Damien Chazzelle's perspective, it went down a little differently. For Manny Torres, it throws his and his fellow artists lives upside down, as they are forced to change with the times in an industry that does not value them. Join us- Margaret and Rhiannon- They Talk! | |||

| The Social Network and Rashamon: The Unreliable Narrator | 26 Mar 2025 | 01:16:06 | |
For our first episode, we take a dive into complex narrative structure and unreliable narrators with David Fincher's The Social Network (2010) and Akira Kurosawa's Rashamon (1950). The Social Network is a personal favourite of ours and when we heard that it had a lot in common with a classic Kurosawa film that neither of us were familiar with, we were intrigued. But will they make a good double feature? Let's find out. | |||
