Explore every episode of the podcast What Have I Missed?

This week - it’s all about the beast within.

Blood. Inheritance. Transformation.

From moonlight myths to modern monsters - three films, one curse reborn.

The Wolf Man (1941) - where it began. A fog-drenched fable of guilt, grief and silver bullets.

The Wolfman (2010) - gothic excess, all candlelight and carnage, where man and monster finally share a face.

Wolfman (2025) - the curse reimagined; primal, tragic and terrifyingly human.

A study in fear and fate  of what we inherit and what we can’t escape.

Where every howl is a confession.

And every transformation leaves something behind.

Let’s get into it.

With faith, folklore and fanaticism at its core, this week’s episode of What Have I Missed? delves into belief and the cost of devotion.

Three stories. Three reckonings.

The Wicker Man — ritual. A sunlit nightmare where sacrifice wears a smile.

The Outsider — reason. A battle between evidence and evil, where faith falters under forensic light.

Heretic — revelation. When conviction becomes contagion, and salvation demands surrender.

A study in ritual, doubt and damnation  - where horror isn’t what we see, but what we choose to believe.

Let’s get into it.

With horror’s obsession shifting from monsters to what makes us one, this week’s episode of What Have I Missed?  explores three stages of the body in crisis.

Three films. Three states of undoing.

The Cabin in the Woods - controlled. Flesh and fear orchestrated for sacrifice.
 All of Us Are Dead - infected. Bodies as battlegrounds, spreading faster than mercy.
 The Substance - transformed. Youth, beauty and power devouring themselves from within.

A study in control, contagion and collapse - where every horror begins, and ends - in the body.

Let’s get into it.

With Ryan Murphy’s Monster: The Ed Gein Story out, this week’s episode of What Have I Missed? looks back - not at Gein himself, but at how his crimes changed cinema forever.

Three films. Three new languages of fear.

Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho — the birth of the slasher and the moment horror learned to hide in plain sight.
Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre — the rise of the final girl, shot in feral heat and chaos.
Jonathan Demme’s The Silence of the Lambs — the film that made female applications to the FBI soar and laid the blueprint for every criminal procedural since.

A study in shock, survival and psychology - tracing how one man’s brutality became the dark mirror of modern horror.

Let's get into it.

Welcome to the very first episode of What Have I Missed?

I’m Alexandra Hepworth, your host. Each week, I’ll be catching up on three titles I’ve finally got around to watching - sharing what still resonates, what surprises, and why they’re worth talking about now.

Today it’s three very different worlds:
 Sam Rockwell going solo in Moon.
A Shakespearean apocalypse in Station Eleven.
And Gareth Edwards is bringing dinosaurs and Spielberg nostalgia back to life in Jurassic Park: Rebirth.

I hope you enjoy. 

The teaser for What Have I Missed? A podcast about catching up on the films and TV I should’ve seen by now. Fashionably late, but hopefully worth the wait.
