Attachment Theory / M3GAN (2023) with Rachel Reeves and Sally Hourigan06 Apr 202301:50:42

This week Mike is joined by Rachel Reeves (the Losers’ Club, The Pod & The Pendulum) and voice actor Sally Hourigan to talk about the viral sensation that danced into our hearts, M3GAN. We discuss how attachments formed in infancy influence our relationships throughout life, and how this film handles the sticky AI questions. Plus, the challenges of unexpected caregiving and Mike’s random thoughts when stuffed with cold medicine. It’s a rollicking good time. 

Discomfort Horror / Eden Lake (2008) with Joe Lipsett26 Jan 202301:44:57

This week Mike is joined by the wonderful Joe Lipsett (Horror Queers, Anatomy of a Scream podcast network) for a discomfort horror movie. We’re packing our tents and sleeping bags and heading to the English lakeside for the incredibly unpleasant EDEN LAKE. It’s hard to believe that this unsettling, gory little thriller gave rise to two massive stars with Michael Fassbender and Yellowstone’s Kelly Reily. We dive into the “hoodie horror” phenomenon and explore the conservative messaging that helped fuel the boon this subgenre enjoyed during the aughts. We also explore the class issues at play, the mental health effects of systemic poverty, the challenges of parenting unruly bastards of kids, and just why the kids seem so scary when we get old(er). Despite never wanting to watch even a single second of this movie again, Mike had a fantastic conversation with Joe that we hope you’ll enjoy.

COVID / Host (2020) with Gena Radcliffe, Nichole Goble, and Terry Mesnard19 Jan 202301:33:42

During the height of lockdowns and uncertainty in the summer of 2020, a little movie hit Shudder. New movies hit the streaming service all the time, but this was a big deal because it was made during the pandemic with all its cast and crew sheltering in place. HOST was one of the few new movies we got during this period, and while it's firmly rooted in our fears and worries during this time, it gave fans something new to watch and discuss during a time when we desperately needed it. HOST tells the story of a group of friends that anger the spirit realm during a virtual seance. Mike has great company this week as he’s joined by guests Gena Radcliffe (KIll By Kill), Nichole Goble (Bodies in Horror), and Terry Mesnard (Scarred For Life, Gayley Dreadful) to talk about this movie and all the things WE did and the spaces we tried to fill in order to stay sane while locked down. From Animal Crossing marathons, backyards converted to cinemas, drunken script readings over zoom and so many more things we never thought we’d have to do, it was a wild time.

This week we have a very special episode as Mike is joined by director Andy Mitton (The Harbinger, yellowbrickroad, The Witch in the Window) to talk about his go-to slasher movie, Friday the 13th part 2. We talk about the gory days of renting R-rated movies and feeling like we were pulling fast ones on our parents, the joy and terror of Baghead Jason, ponder where Ginny lies in the pantheon of Final Girls and more. Andy also discusses his new movie, the absolutely terrifying THE HARBINGER. We discuss the challenges of filmmaking during COVID restrictions, the existential terror of the Plague Demon, and how to make nightmares feel unique and scary in modern horror.

As we enter the third year of living through the pandemic, Mike is joined by Jessica Scott and Rachel Reeves to talk about THE HARBINGER, the latest genre film written and directed by Andy Mitton (YellowBrickRoad, The Witch In The Window). We look at the earliest stages of living through COVID, back in 2020 when we were locked down due to shelter in place orders, and the fear and uncertainty of living through this unprecedented event. The Harbinger recreates the sadness, loneliness, and uncertainty of those times while adding new layers of terror with its plague demon. A warning to listeners, we get as personal as we can with this episode with our discussions on loved ones we’ve lost.
