So happy to have found this podcast. I love in depth and informed discussions about horror films. I'm excited to dive into the back catalogue to hear about my fav horrors and also discover some new ones.
The first Feast is from project greenlight. It's actually a lot of fun but I haven't seen it in a number of years. I recommend it for It's absurdity and gore. Never saw Piranha DD though. Zero interest.
Your podcast is really good!
What a disappointing personality...
I realized that Panic Room was the Silence of the Lambs sequel that we deserved. Think about it! Clarice is trapped in the panic room while Hannibal is trying to get her. It becomes a reverse of the original movie, because now Clarice is the one imprisoned!
another great episode, Mike.
so good
Fantastic podcast. Mike has a great, conversational interviewing style and always has interesting guests.
its always bothered me that Lecter is presented to us as a genius but let's not forget the fact he KNEW who buffalo bill was. he wasn't using his brilliant mind to help clarice he was just messing with her. Love the podcasts though, well done on another great episode.
Way too much left-wing, PC hand-wringing.... just can't listen to any more of this....
i have a friend who’s legit scared of zombies. his #1 fear
can't listen to this irritating occult bloke....ooh...swearing, how cool....i'll come back next week
in the late 90s, Ira Levin wrote a sequel called Son of Rosemary in which we learn that Rosemary tried to escape with Andy, but was put into a coma by the cult. she wakes up decades later to discover her son has become an important spiritual leader. Also did you know Church of Satan founder Anton Le:Vay played the Devil?
Best Horror podcast I've found. Legitimate history and film theory. Guests are usually industry people or academics and it's not a boy's club.
Hey, keep your woman off future episodes, she's annoying as hell
Hail Paimon!!
Jeffery Combs is a great actor and person. He's played several characters on Star Trek. I once got him to autograph a drawing I did of Herbert West reannimating a Klingon. Did you see the episode of Deep Space Nine where his character talked about doing research in the field of immortality?😀
Stop saying specificity
